The girl pictured above is Thunder Girl Kelsey Self. This is her third year to wear skimpy clothes, white shorts and dance out of unison with other girls at The Peake. She's an OU student, dance teacher, and when she grows up, she wants to edit a magazine.
Also, according to a blog post by "Claire Crawford" on CBS Sports Radio 610 in Houston, Kelsey may be "too chunky." Check it out:
Is This Girl “Too Chunky” To Be An OKC Thunder Cheerleader?
The Rockets are facing the Oklahoma City Thunder during the first round of the NBA Playoffs. The Rockets looked terrible in Game 1, but some say they weren’t the only bad-looking people on the court.
We’re not trying to be ugly. We are just discussing what men like in women, specifically NBA cheerleaders.
This pretty blonde has been criticized by some folks in OKC for having “pudginess” around her waistline. But if she’s comfortable wearing that tiny outfit and dancing for NBA fans, then good for her.
Besides…not every man likes women to be toothpick skinny. In fact, I’d say most men prefer a little extra meat on her bones. Am I right?
What do you think? Is this chick “too chunky” to be a cheerleader?
Either way, I wish she had a little more up on top, if you know what I mean…
We think she’s beautiful. What do you think?
Yep, I'll admit it. I was one of the thousands of people at Game 1 on Sunday night who criticized Kelsey for her "pudginess" and then complained about it to a Houston blogger. I mean, how could you not? Just look at the girl. She must be at least 115lbs. If she doesn't watch out, she may balloon up to a size 4. Obviously, she hasn't been participating in the pre-game throw-ups with all the other dancers.
In all seriousness, what a stupid article. Kelsey may not have the prototypical, A-list NBA dancer body, but other than old Honeybee Talor, who really does? Instead of responding to the absurdity of the post, or making fun of Houston for being the fattest city in America, I'm going to give a little word of advice to the blog's author in the form of an open letter:
