Sayrah Parx, Gwynevery Golightly, and I have been discussing reformulating how the SLCS Rank Controller distributes points. More points for this sort of activity, less points for that sort, and so on. It’s a bit like trying to reform the tax code! One issue we’ve discussed is time to Level Up.
4th & final week of training for Plague & Jenna. Driving & Panels. They both rocked their panels. Ealewn even gave them each an award for awesome participation!
We had practice at Cheerport tonight. As we were practicing I noticed that Dancerina Starlight has the best hair! Dancerina wears OG Flexi Hair. I used to love flexi hair! The way it moves when you move. Responds to the breeze in the stadium. Flexi hair is alive!
I was in the SLCS February 2011 Trainee class. Now, 12 years later, I thought I’d check in see what training looks like these days.
On 2 February 2023 we performed a 27-cheerleader pyramid. No one present could recall ever having done one that big before. Or if it was even possible with the Cheermaster HUD!?
I’d like to respectfully offer 5 training suggestions to the SLCS Training Staff. Each of these is a small thing, but I believe they also carry big implications. I worry that our training may over-emphasize the technical aspects of being an SLCS cheerleader at the expense of of the personal, emotional, sororal, and spiritual aspects of being a part of SLCS.
It’s SLCS’ 15th anniversary year. After practice each week Sayrah presents Cheerleader service awards… 1 year… 3 years… 6 years… and so on. This week she presented a 15-year award to SLCS Founder Christi Charron.
Cheerleading legend Srooc Skytower passed away on 6 March 2014. SLCS named its stadium after her and built a Memorial Garden to remember Srooc and other SLCS Cheerleaders & Friends who have passed.
Shawna Trang organized, and Lumyai catered, a bountiful Thanksgiving Dinner for all of us tonight.
When a panel votes on a trainee, we are making a choice about one specific trainee. It might be less obvious, but with each trainee who Panels, we are also defining who we are. Panels are a test of what SLCS is. Of who we aspire to be.
Cheerleaders share the stories behind how they chose their avatar names. From frustration with Lucky Chairs to refugees from another world, we’ve taken some interesting journeys to find our names and to become a part of SLCS.
Can it really be 11 years since Abbie and I were SLCS trainees? (not SL or Dog Years, but 11 actual PW years!)
On Sunday I helped cutie write a short bio for SLCS for the Spoonful of Sugar Festival. Then on Monday I worked with Christi on what the SLCS logo & colors represent.
A few SLCS Cheerleader Training tips that might make your training experience a little bit easier, better, funnerer. From 2 Cheerleaders who know almost nothing. But we mean well!
Second Life Cheerleading Squad (SLCS) members share their thoughts on what SLCS means to them.
Concept Board for a Cool Uniform for this Hot Summer! Short-shorts with a big belt and a bedazzled crop halter! Woo!
What if we modified the SLCS Rank Controller and levels of Cheerleader away from a military model of Lieutenants and Captains to a more participation, achievement, and community-based model of Pom Pom colors?
The NCAA has ruled Cheerleading not a sport. The American Medical Association says that Cheerleading is a sport. Different courts have ruled both ways. What is a sport? And whatever a sport is, is Cheerleading that?
It was my 13th Rezday and SLCS 3rd year of service day today! Linden Lab sent me a rezday card & SLCS gave me a cool trophy!
The Prodigal Cheerleader showed up to Second Life Cheerleading Squad (SLCS) practice last night after missing a few (4,000 give-or-take) days. Everyone was so nice!
