The younger Cheerios are now graduating high School. This June, Monty, Lashes, Boots, Porcelain, Hard-Sell, Jose, Brooks, Zen, McSteph, Lindsay the Text Shooter and girls from the other team all left the halls of good old ABCI.
Monty was the first to book Saucy for graduation photos so they're the first ones to get posted on the blog. We set this up months ago.
Monty showed up rocking these amazingly fun bubblegum, neon platforms. How very Monty, indeed.
Monty is the young lady who once found a funky old Gold Lame Leotard in the lost-and-found at the school and wore it to practice. True story. Gross. Saucy is glad she lost that accessory long before graduation day.
And Monty was one of the team captains. A leader. 'Nuf said.
Aww, she cleans up so nicely! No more lost-and-found duds for Monty. High school days are beyond her.
Must get the requisite full-length pose with the grad escort!
Poses like this make Saucy happy because this is how she remembers Monty the most, sitting on the cheer mats, looking around at her teammates, scanning the room to see what everyone was thinking. Monty didn't say much, but when she did, it was priceless. She has a fairly dry sense of humour. The kind of gal who can wear a gold Lame Leotard with a straight face kind of humour.
Is it still quite amazing to you, (as it is to Saucy) that all these girls are so grown up? They've always been smart and beautiful but now they're just perfection.
And most importantly, they're happy. That's the most important thing. Do you remember how happy you were when you finished high school and the world was Wide Open for you to explore? Think about it for a minute. Look at Monty's expression of pure joy. Try to capture that today for yourself if you can. The world is wide open for all of us.
True story.
