Pink sequin girl?

The reason I brought up the twin twirlers is that they weren't really cheerleaders, but maybe a small enough detail to change? The twins who were KKG were both petite and dressed in a more flashy style than was common on campus in the late 80s/early 90s - and BOTH ended up in law school. The ChiO twin twirlers also both went to law school.

Just another data point on the mystery discussion... but it was how the author referred to cheer in her post that set off my very first fiction alarms. A real cheerleader would never have used some of the terms she used.

So, if this was based on a real set of twins, but the author wanted to use cheer instead of twirl for her roman à clef, that would explain why the terminology was wrong...
