I haven't had any broadcast or cable television in over two years so if it isn't online I never see it. Thanks for letting me know, I'll see if I can find it online. I saw one On Demand while pet sitting where the mom got real upset someone used RuPaul for music since she is into drag queens. I was super confused because she had a daughter and son competing and her son had this horrible rat tail, and rat tails are not glamorous.

Shangela also cracked me up on Community when she played Miss Urbana Champaign.

A friend of mine who works at the Forever 21 at the Monroeville Mall in Pittsburgh saw Abby Lee there a few days ago. She apparently buys dance outfits from there and is a real b about returning things.

My first thought about hearing this "they make her size in F21 clothes?!"

That was my first thought as well.

My daughter was involved with a dance studio for many years and we attended many conventions etc., so naturally I was very curious about Dance Moms. I think the show is awful! I can't help but think that much of the drama is created for the benefit of the show. Why in the world would any parent in their right mind subject their child to someone like Abby...unless they were being compensated? The dancers are very talented, but I just can't stand the show. Yuk! Deprogrammed from my DVR!!!

I finally watched the second episode online. Abby's main (no doubt contrived) expression: one of shock. As in, "They reported me for having an overage child?" I did feel sorry for Cathy this time because her girls should have won that competition.

Oh, please! You're the one that introduced me to it.

She secretly loves it, everybody.

I was so surprised that Candy Apple's didn't win with their group number. It was obviously better than Abby Lee's!

That whole age debacle was a low blow.

Haha yeah right! Skank clothing doesn't come in plus size!

Yes. It does.

I think it's hard to tell without seeing both numbers in entirety. I think a lot of it comes down to judges personal taste (unless dance competitions have drastically changed in the past two years.)

The way they went about the age issue was not appropriate, but having to dance with older girls in the wrong category on more than one occasion, I can appreciate ALDC's response. If she's in the wrong category, she's in the wrong category. Her teachers should be paying attention; details like that would have been ingrained in my dance teachers.

Actually that isn't as skanky (if there is such a word), as it is massively unflattering. Lose the Xs and she would loose 15 pounds...Yes, the dress would be boring...But nothing marks the spot(s) like an X.

But then again, Forever21 hasn't met a natural fabric since its inception.

lol I was being sarcastic at the comment of "OMG someone making clothing in Abby's size wtf is the world coming to!" :rolleyes: But thanks for the link cuz now I'm gona check that out!

Abby Lee is a monstrous bitch to the girls. National Title Winners or no, these moms are amazing in that they let her treat their daughters this way. Good for Brooke for giving up dance to become a cheerleader. For Abby to say she is worthless was beyond appalling. What a bitch!

No question that Abby has an out of control mouth. HOWEVER, nothing prevents (ed) that parents moving their daughters to another competitive studio. A new studio might be more supportive. But to go from a potential college sureshot to a mundane cheerleader at a suburban high school.....not so much. (OK, here I'll grant that mom and daughter are on a reality show, so the college application would still stand out..."How I Survived Reality TV And Abby Lee")

BTW, your quote is wrong....Please correct it to : a daughter who KNOWS you're wrong. :)
