[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ahh cheerleading. The 'sport' where girls dress like little girls but wear the make up of grown women. Totally healthy and normal. No weird sexual messages there at all. [/quote]

8.56 again.

I had girls wearing shirts that covered as much or more than their normal summer shirts, and they had long sleeve half shirts that they could choose to wear under that.  One chose to do so at all times (very pale, burns easily), the other did not (swarthy, never burns).  They also had straight skirts that came down to halfway down their thighs, and they were allowed to wear sheer or opaque tights, leggings or bike shorts, but minimum, they had the normal panty cover.  They had socks and shoes that matched but were also functional.

The girls on the sidelines never wore makeup; the girls who competed wore enough makeup to not be washed out when they competed under strong lighting.  Some of the girls had their hair curled and elaborately styled, if the mom and girl in question both wanted to take over an hour to do it; the rest of our girls had a simple pony, half pony or pigtails.  Our girls had little girl hair decorations.

Two of our opposing groups wore shorts.  One group had short sleeves.  Every single group had girls who wore long sleeves and/or long pants, at least some of the time.[/quote]
