55 year old grandmother auditions for the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders...

Well, she is nice looking...

Babies, don't let your grandmamas grow up to be Cowboys cheerleaders.

Sharon Simmons, a 55-year old grandmother of two, spent the weekend auditioning for the 2012 Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. Her tryout was the culmination of a 33-year goal to try out for the famed squad.

1. I guess as long as you set your goal as "trying out for" rather than "attaining"

you can have a pretty good chance of succeeding.

2. 33 fucking years?!

Other women wanto be President, surgeons, Professors, etc.

3. Those tryouts are brutal.

I followed one of their shows and it all comes down to how you look in the costume. There were girls who had cheerleading and gymnastics background that were turned down because their proportions made them look just a bit odd. They weren't fat. They just had more of a curveless body.

But I guess if they want to get rid of a 55 year old cheerleader, forgetting the routine would be a valid reason.

4. Good for her. I hope she makes it.

It will be a milestone for us older women.

5. My sister-in-law's friend made the Redskins' cheer squad at close to age 40

Just something she always wanted to do.
