NOW YOU SEE ‘EM…

sc14fb415bMAGIC HASSLE:  Due to a recurring WordPress programming error, this website keeps disappearing, but don’t fear — if you see it blank, just check back a little later and it will be restored.  By the way, if you are a WordPress expert, please contact me, because I will pay you to fix the problem

No, it’s not trojan vandalism — It’s just a bug in the WordPress programming, which no one can figure out as of yet, that keeps causing this website to go blank.  For the last couple of years, the bug just switched the THEME of the site, causing all my colors and the site format to be wrong.  My hosting company told me to delete the theme that the site was reverting to, so I did, and now it just goes blank, which is even worse than going to the wrong theme. F*#!@#K!!!!!!

I am currently searching for someone who can fix the problem, but until I find a solution, please be patient, and just know that if it goes blank, it will come back as soon as I see it.

One thing that will never fade away is the beauty of the UCLA Spirit Squad.  There are 10 new girls joining the squad this season:  2 on the Dance Team, 4 on the Cheer Squad, and 4 on the Yell Crew.  They look fantastic on the UCLA Spirit website.  I will get my first chance to photograph and share them with you on Saturday.  So to hold you until then, here are my last 40 fit-for-print shots of last year’s squad…

…  Please keep in mind that these shots did not make the cut in last year’s articles, because they perhaps do not do justice to the full beauty and grace of everyone in them, but there is still plenty of stunning-ness to be worthy of your gazes.  Please enjoy, and come back on Sunday for a look at the NEW version of the World’s Greatest Spirit Squad.

P.S.  I am not simply ignoring the Ishmael Adams travesty.  I am waiting for all the facts to come to light.  I hate to speculate, but if you forced me to, I’d say that the Uber driver (they can be major jerks) took a photo of Adams, who wanted it deleted, and had to confiscate the phone to make sure the photo didn’t go public.  It could be no worse than an Alec Baldwin/Sean Penn situation.  I hope.  Regardless, being drunk at 3:30am is not cool, so the indefinite suspension is warranted, at least until more information becomes available.  His court date was pushed back to late September, so it’s highly unlikely that Adams will rejoin the team before October.  Fortunately, UCLA has a little depth, and can still be a top team without his services.

And now, without further ado…
