Well, I went back to my collection of the images I shot that day, and I *think* - I'm 99% sure - that this is the cheerleader who brought the lawsuit.



I could have just captured her in a glum mood, but -- this was the last home game in 1999, which was the last year she was on the squad.

On the outfits, it strikes me that they are designed to be seen from a long distance away, and not with the unflattering closeups we have here. To get sexy closeups of the cheerleaders, you're supposed to buy their calendar.

It also strikes me that, in staging productions, sometimes it's important for things to be larger than they actually are, so that the audience can see them and recognize them. That's what David Byrne mocked with his "big suit" in the Talking Heads' tour captured in "Stop Making Sense". And that, in turn, puts a weird spin on football cheerleaders having immense fake breasts. Hey, it's all for the SHOW.
