05/30/2008: "Purple and Gold Eye Candy"
)
Coming on the heels of last night's series-clinching victory by the Los Angeles Lakers over the San Antonio Spurs, which sends them to the NBA Finals for a record 30th time, there's only one kind of Eye Candy that will do today - the Laker Girls!
Formed in 1978, the Laker Girls have worked their magic at every home game, first at the Fabulous Forum and now at Staples Center. Often working harder than the team itself - it ain't easy to make all those costume changes! - they cheer the home team's big plays and perform dance numbers during time outs. All the teams have their own versions these days, but there's only one Laker Girls.
Their most famous alumna is former singer and current American Idol drunk ... er, judge ... Paula Abdul. But there's clearly nothing wrong with the current crop, as demonstrated here by JessicaG, one of this year's hottest - and the tallest - Laker Girl. The good news for LG fans is that you'll have three more opportunities to watch Jessica and the rest of the Laker Girls shake their groove thing on the Staples Center floor in the finals. We don't know who we'll be playing, but looking at Jessica, I'd have to say we're ready ...
