BOOM! Just Like That! Friend Or Enemy?

Well...Well...If you were not watching Bring It last night...dang you missed the show...LOL..Lord have mercy, I don't when I have been more wide eyed and been more glued to the TV, than last night.

It was the "Storm In Jackson" last night. We have been hearing the rumors, talking among ourselves and speculating on What happened with Zatia and Tawantza. NOW we know..no more speculating. Dianna has tolerated and put up with Tawantza and her negativity 4 EVER. Last night was the end of that mess. Tawantza made her final mistake by thinking she could go off about Dianna in the room with the other DDP. Heffer PLEASE! Mimi, Tina, Rittany, not to mention Selena. ALL long time DDP who support Dianna! LOL WOW! Talk about mistakes! That was the QUEEN of mistakes.

And in true form, Dianna snapped right off on her. LOL..I love this woman....she never hesitates to just SAY it! LOL! She made it very CLEAR, you are either WITH the DOLLS or YOU are an ENEMY! My thoughts exactly! When Tawantza came on the show, I thought, Dang this girl talks lots of shit to be a DDP! Sure Nuff, THAT was her downfall. Dianna TOLD her...YOUR MOUTH is the problem, NOT Zatia! So Tawantza is the REAL REASON, Zatia isn't at the Dollhouse anymore!

If you don't know WHEN to shut up, you are going to ALWAYS put your damn foot in your mouth! LOL! Fact! Sadly, her kid is the one who loses...NOBODY is going to put up with the negativity and hate, Tawantza brings along, with Zatia. And Dianna damn sure ain't gonna put up with it...She flat told her, she couldn't do it and too bad..so sorry...but Bye Girl! LOL...WOW...I thought for a minute, Dianna may come off the chair and get closer to Tawantza's.....with her hands....around her silly ole neck......KMSL...

But the cat is out of the bag now and hopefully, we can move forward to bigger and better things...like the new bad ass dance teams that are coming to Battle the Dolls! And Kayla, Ms D's new Assistant AND the new choreography that is giving the Dolls so much more of an advantage. How about how Camryn KILLED it last night, as Captain.



No hesitation or backing up...She hit the floor full steam and never let up...She led the Dolls to a victory over the Purple Diamonds, easily. And though many were doubting Cammie's ability to pull it off, Mama Mimi, never wavered...she was confident her baby was fixing to blow it up! AND SHE DID!....You knew Mama!

What about that girl Kayla? Or I should I say...Asst Kayla? Kayla has wowed us over and over throughout the last couple of Seasons. Her determination and dedication to be the Best At Being Captain, has kept us cheering her on. Last night this girl, came out like the Queen, we have named her. She was strong and tough and she wasn't going easy on anybody.

She stepped right into the Asst Coaching position, without missing a beat. She knew Camryn could be tough and she didn't hesitate to let Cammie know what she was expecting from her. After last night, I think it is safe to say, Dianna made an excellent decision, making Kayla her Assistant! I think it expands the horizons for the both the show and the Dollhouse's future.

Of course we have gotten comments on the DDS Nation pages about the negative aspects...Folks minding others people's business...like..."What about College? I thought she got a scholarship?" or "Dang, she just gonna ride on Ms. D's dime, instead of creating her own life?" LOL...Well for you folks, I would say...MIND YOUR BUSINESS! Tina and Terrell have GOT THIS!...LOL..And I am betting Kayla does too! So all you people still looking for the negative...BYE!


We can't talk about last night and not talk about those beautiful girls Sunjai, Star &  Skye. Sunjai always Brings It when she hits the floor and the Twins joined the Stand Battle last night, turning it up, like we haven't seen them do before. They are growing up and getting more beautiful each time we see them...To see them hit the floor and nail it, was very cool! We know our girl Selena is as proud as can be....she never fails in her support of all of her kids...Sometimes, we look at her twice, but she is a great mom and loves those babies..and she is beautiful herself...Love seeing these ladies work as a family!



What's else happened last night? Oh yes, NEW DOLLS...Ms. Jaelen...Former Doll...went to the Purple Diamonds...now she is back with the Dancing Dolls. More to come on Jaelen later...but one thing is for sure..her Mom Nashamba is not shy about supporting her baby...we saw total support and pride beaming through her last night. She knows her daughter can dance and she is going to be right there telling folks....LOL..We Welcome Jaelen and Nashamba BACK to the Dolls. We look forward to hearing about them and watching Jaelen dance. She is beautiful and rocked the floor last night.




Okay, Dance Talent....Well them Purple Diamonds, Jackson's other Dance School, are still burning up the floor. They are talented and always bring great dance choreography to every competition. Their Coach is tough and works them hard. Though her and Dianna spark at times, I think they are  Hometown Acquaintances and have tremendous respect for each other. But the Purple Diamonds are always a force to be reckoned with. They are precise and prepared at every event. They brought it last night but the Dolls brought it better.

The other teams that participated last night are the Altanta Glitter (https://www.facebook.com/AtlantaGlitter)from Atlanta Georgia of course and Fierce Elite (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fierce-Elite-Dance-Team/783075895058045) from Little Rock Arkansas. Links are for their Facebook pages if you want more information. These teams were tough and its fantastic to see new faces on the floor. Though we are always excited to see what the Divas or Purple Diamonds are up to...seeing the talent from other places gives us something unfamiliar and exciting to look forward to each week....AND it is very cool for other Dance Teams to get that exposure. We can't wait to see what and who Dianna has in store for us next week.

So winding down topics on this recap we have to mention Tamia...We know you saw her last night. Hmmph...FB was blowing up with people saying...Oooohhhh...I saw Tamia...What's Up? LOL..Well due to the magic of TV, you may see her some more..so STOP speculating...Its a cycle of working through episodes...she will be phased out with the Season progressing. LOL...She hasn't returned...as much as that hurts some of you folks. LIG!

The 2nd episode of Season 2B is in the can and all you can say is WOW! WOW because it was a roller coaster of things happening...Tawantza after weeks and weeks of mess from her on the Social Media.....New Job for our Sweetheart Kayla...that she ROCKED......Camryn taking that Captain Position and Claiming LIKE A BOSS....New Blood in the Dollhouse that has Mad Skills....WOW! What a second Episode!...I need a nap just talking about it...LOL..

Social Media also blew up with the Haters...Tawantza..JustinJ....this negative person..that negative person...maddening and funny....We knew Tawantza would get going and it never fails that our sad friend was going to open up and add to the fray!

Last and ALWAYS LEAST...Our Little Insecure Boy, JustinJ got his tiny little TWO CENTS in last night....His misery is getting so old...I don't even have the energy to talk about it anymore...He IS CLUELESS...JOBLESS...LOVELESS.....MORALESS....CARELESS...AND USELESS!....SO the LESS We discuss him...the LESS he gets under our skin....HOW DO YOU LISTEN TO STUPID? YOU DON'T! He is hedging his bets on a TV show....WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT DUMMY?...LOL..NOT Worth My Effort To Discuss Much!..Bye JustinJ..Go Play In Your Blankie....LOL...
We hope your enjoyed the Second Episode of Season 2B....We loved it.....A surprise a second! LOL....Needless to say it was a fantastic show and ONCE AGAIN...Ya'll BLEW UP Social Media....Bring It Trended Way Up there last night for the 2ND TIME!

YA'LL ARE ABSOLUTELY....HANDS DOWN...THE  BEST FANS IN THE WORLD! STAY TUNED!....ITS GONNA KEEP ON GETTING BETTER! DON'T BLINK!

Pynk Diamondz In The House, Representing Cincinnati, Ohio

Hey DDS Nation! Let me introduce you to one of the hardest working Dance Teams in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Pynk Diamondz. The PD's Director is Ms Tamera Coates. Tamera is a Coach, as well. PD's, Co Director & also Coach is, Lashay Kennedy. Tamera and Lashay founded the Pynk Diamondz 1 year ago, June 10th. Both Tamera and Lashay graduated from the Performing Arts High School in Cincinnati. Tamera's younger sister, Kellye Coates also coaches at PD. Jayvonte Stanford is the choreographer who brings the sync and flair, to the amazing dances the Pynk Diamondz perform.

Tamera told us, the Pynk Diamondz, chosen form of dance is majorette, though they teach all kinds of dance. Majorette style dance offers many opportunities to incorporate other dance styles into the program, such as hip-hop. Just like the Dancing Dolls, they strive for creativity and versatility in their routines.Tamera said  "Dance of all kinds is beautiful and we want to capture as much of that beauty, that LIFE, as possible".

Pynk Diamondz have a full program of 50 dancers, ranging from 6-19. As with all activities, there are kids graduating or moving and then there are tryouts that either lessens or adds to the team. The PD attend competitions throughout the Cincinnati Metro area and across the Tri-State area, which includes Kentucky and Indiana. They are hoping to travel down South, to their first competition, down in our part of the world, later this year.
Just like all true organizations that work hard to provide activities for kids, money is always an uphill climb. They have to raise money to travel and get costumes and every other detail that comes up. But Tamera's faith and hard work is something that pushes the Pynk Diamonds to keep going and to keep on keeping on. Tamera told us, "Funds are limited but, in due time and Lord willing, it will happen."

We wanted to know what the Coaches thought, Dance brought to the lives of their team. Tamera told us, "Dancing has brought so much life to these ladies, since we started the Diamondz. The girls transformation has been amazing. The turn around, their perseverance, and their determination is nothing short of amazing, as well."

She told us that the Pynk Diamondz have kids, whose parents have been lost, to violence, siblings to horrible illness and currently have an amazing young lady, who has cancer, that dances beautifully. Her cancer is in remission but through all of her chemo and treatments, she refused to feel sorry for herself or allow anyone else to feel sorry for her.

Tamera told us though she was limited in her ability, to practice normally, she never stopped. Now, with the cancer in remission, she is dancing Harder Than EVER! "Dancing gives life and it can SAVE LIVES too," Coach T told us. She has seen grades get better, behavior get much better and definitely a great improvement in attitudes.

Kids who previously were asking, "What Future?" have become young women who are now saying..."Any future I WANT!" Tamera said, "This is the values we want to and feel we have instilled. They all have beautiful BRIGHT, FULFILLING FUTURES." She said that traveling and meeting people from other places, gives them a broader view of the world. They see that no matter how DIFFERENT folks are, there are things that connect us all, that are amazing. Being involved gives them discipline and responsibility, she told us. She also said, "We encourage, Faith, Family, Friends, Self Worth and Personal Strength." A combination, we know builds strong women.

The Pynk Diamondz Captains are: Monique Kannler, Sr. Head Captain, Monjae Sanders, Sr. Captain, Shaunai Frazier also, Sr. Captain and Kourtney Lee is Jr. Head Captain. Hey from DDS Nation Beautiful ladies!

Of course, you are wondering about Baby PD...lol...yes we asked that too. And yes there is a Baby team. They are called the Diamond Minnies! They are 6-10 years old. But Coach T was quick to let us know, just like our Baby Dolls, that Baby part, means nothing. She told us the younger girls feel they have something to prove to their older sisters, so they are always working twice as hard as the older girls. She said, "Don't let the name "MINNIE" FOOL YOU...BIG THINGS COME IN MINI-SIZED packages...LOL..Yes maam, we certainly understand that.

Our last question to the Pynk Diamondz was, would they like to compete with the Dancing Dolls? We loved her answer. She told us, " We would LOVE to compete against the Dolls!!!" She said they had answered the call, when the Dolls were looking for other teams, interested in competing. She said, they did tryouts, but were not chosen. Another team that the Pynk Diamondz beat, was chosen instead.

Tamera is faithful to her belief that hard work pays off. She feels that their team needs to focus on getting better, all the time. She knows they are a young team still and her hope is to keep working and practicing and maybe down the road, the Pynk Diamonds will get their chance to stand toe to toe with the Dancing Dolls. She knows it would be the experience of a lifetime for them. But until then, she said, they will keep watching the Dolls and loving what they do. They are all huge fans and follow the Dolls, as a part of DDS Nation.

We loved doing this interview with Tamera Coates. She is smart and loves her dancers. Her and Lashay's dedication and love to their mission of teaching dance and teaching life lessons, is something that shines in their team. We look forward to following the Pynk Diamondz on their journey. Check out their FB page and say hi to them from our DDS Nation. Thanks Tamera and Lashay...We love you guys...Keep on doing what you do! We will be watching your success!

Nasty Attitudes Or Divas? Neva & Dianna!

I wasn't sure I wanted to write about last week's show. From the minute it came on, there were sparks flying. The competition, Divas of Olive Branch came, full of vinegar and ready to show out.

To recap, the last time these two teams met, there was nastiness and behavior, that would have been better placed in a grade school. We see men competing and boy attitudes creating struggles of manhood, all the time, in any game they play. But when women are in competition, the level of competitiveness & nastiness, goes to a whole new level.

It is easy to see Dianna's attitude change, when Neva is close by. You see her face change and her jaw tighten. Neva is just as obvious. The minute you see her, on the show, she is huffing and puffing and blowing hot air about Dianna. Its also obvious, this has been a long standing rivalry. Before, Bring It and before we all knew about these dance teams.

For several shows, since Bring It came on, we have been watching the storm brewing. Little snipes back and forth...giggling and trash talking going on...no doubt it has been building to an explosion.
The last competition they met, Neva ended up leaving the building with her team, before they announced the winners. This set off a fire storm of comments about bad sportsmanship and an adult acting childishly. Comments on Social media ranged from funny to down right mean. Everybody was surprised that she chose to just walk out. I mean, is that really teaching those girls, positive life lessons? Life lessons that will benefit them long after this?

I would say, NO! What it taught them was, when the going gets tough, turn tail, run and hide. Put your head in the sand, so you don't have to hear bad news. Don't face the fact that you may not have done your best or that you may have acted like a spoiled brat....just run!

Now, last week, we see Neva come in, to specifically face Dianna. Neva, though she seems to really care about her girls, isn't always at the top of her game when it comes to setting the example. I think, she thought, she was clearing the air, but it turned into a trash talking session. Dianna was not fixing to play, about trying to have any conversation with her. Before it was over, Dianna flat told Neva she was a joke. I think the whole thing, proved to be more like pouring gas on a fire. A fire already burning red hot.

The thing that was right on, was Dianna's assessment of it all. She said, If Neva can talk trash and act the fool then she has the absolute right to come back and defend the bullshit. I agree. No way, even with the turn the other cheek thing, am I standing still for somebody to talk shit. Bitch you need to get up a little earlier.

From the second the show came on, Neva was proclaiming her Divahood...which means, what? She continued to show out, throughout the night and even joined her team in the Creative Dance Competition. I am not sure if she was a hit or a huge miss. The Divas of Olive Branch were trending on Twitter, but I am not sure, for what reason! LOL. But she came out and threw it down anyway.

We had to know, Dianna wasn't sitting still for any of that. When it came time for Stands, Dianna rocked the floor. We know already that when she hits the floor, all of the other competition, needs to sit down. She did a Death Drop that brought the fans to their feet, in the competition and across the viewing public. I was recording the show and when I listened to it, later, I let out a, "Damn, did you see that"?

Well, we know who won. Regardless of the gimmicks and tricks, which Dianna declared, Neva was the Queen of, the Dolls walked away with the win. Once again, they put everything on the floor and brought it.



This win, has opened the door for Neva, to be even more bitter. With the Battle Royale coming, she is sure to be fired up and loaded for bear. We will be watching to see the outcome. But in the meantime, Social media is not cutting Neva and Dianna much slack for this last show.

There are supporters on both sides of this issue. Doll supporters are, of course, standing up for Dianna and whatever she said or did concerning Neva. Neva supporters feel like Dianna's "Boom, Boom" comments were fat shaming. So the comments have been flying. I think folks have even been put off of Social media pages because of their opinions.

So who is right here? Did last weeks show just prove to stir it up even more?


My opinion.....Folks are human. I am not authorized to judge. My own reaction, is just like I said above...When it comes to talking trash...I don't start it, unless I am provoked...I attempt to turn the other cheek, as much as possible..However, with only 4 of those, patience can run out, pretty fast.

I know for sure, I am not going to stand by and let anyone talk bad, when they started the whole thing previously. So, for me, this is a goose and gander situation. What's good for the goose, is good for the gander...which for those, unfamiliar with that quaint country statement, means if you dish it out, you damn well better be ready to accept it back. Dianna is fiery to begin with. She stands up for what she believes and she doesn't accept ignorant behavior, from those around her.

I think she got angry for good reason. I think Neva felt she did too. So both of these tough ladies are going to have to get that opinion, to gel with their beliefs, for leading these impressionable girls, they are in charge of. Were the behaviors of these ladies, building character in those entrusted to them or just showing them how to participate in a Cat Fight?  I don't know. Again, when the smoke clears with these two, I see Dianna defending and Neva being a bitch. In the heat of anger and frustration, we all say stuff, we normally wouldn't. So, I think this will be a discussion for a while, depending on your personal feelings, about it. Not surprisingly, I felt Dianna was right in this one.

Competitions, whether men or women, boys or girls, always creates high anxiety. People want their team to be the best. They know they have put the time in but regardless of where their confidence should be, getting down to the wire accelerates attitudes. Things are said or done and then things have to be sorted out later. Though I don't think these two will ever be buddies, hopefully they can coexist in Mississippi and in upcoming competitions. The excitement of the struggle being played out on TV is good business for the show and is fun to watch....but when it's all said and done, its about the kids participating....so we will wait and see where the fight goes from here...

Ding.....Ding!

OMG? DA' HELL HAPPENED?

Well, you guys, I normally only write once a week about our girls but damn, I couldn't wait until next week to talk about this show. I sat in front of my TV and from the second the show came on, it was more emotion filled that all of the other shows put together. And child, when Dianna come out the door of the Dollhouse on Selena, I had to back up on my couch.

Dang, what the heck got into Selena? LOL! She was mad as heck about her girls. You never see Selena act like that.
That was just the tip of the iceberg for Friday Night! When the Dolls got to the competition, they were facing the Miami SupaStarz. As you know, the Dolls put their stamp on Miami, in the first show of this Season. I witnessed that whooping personally in Mississippi! Dianna knew Tracy would be on the top of her game and would not be coming with less than perfection. However, Dianna was not ready for Virtuous Divine and the Dazzlin Starz.

It was a strange night, to put it mildly. We watched the girls practice and prepare for the competition and even then, it seemed they just were not getting into the whole thing. The Ace in the hole, Andre looked great at first. He came out at practice rockin the backflip, until he hit the mirror. The breakdown was almost too much for everybody but he seemed to recover and was ready to go at competition. But it just seemed like the whole thing was not coming together, from the second they entered the building.


We know that Tracy don't play and she doesn't show up, unless her girls are ready to go. She capitalized on the day by talking tons of trash. She basically called the Dolls out. Her team showed confidence and high energy from the second they walked on the floor. They not only came out with extravagant, festive costumes, they had actual drummers, play traditional tribal drums. But the kicker of the night was Tracy. A big box was pushed out on the floor and when it opened, out popped Tracy, shined and in buff condition, taking over the dance floor. The crowd went nuts of course.

When the Dolls finally got to the floor, for the creative dance, they just didn't pull it together. The theme was great...but I think it got lost in translation, somehow. By the look on Ms. D's face, she knew it too. The Stand Battle should have been a comeback, but I think the letdown from the Creative Dance was still weighing heavy on the minds of the girls. They did a great job but I think it was just one of those days when everything seems to go differently than expected.

Of course, we saw it happen...the Dancing Dolls went home without a trophy of any kind..Nothing! I don't think I have seen anything so sad. The girls, Ms D...and then there was Rittany...I started crying. I felt so bad for her.. As she talked about having put her heart into the Dolls and how much it was hurting to see them do so bad, I couldn't help, but think of how it affects the Moms I see, at different functions for my Grandchildren. When the kids lose a game or they don't do well or they get a raw deal in scoring, the Parents are deeply affected as well. When you take your child, day after day, to something they love to do...then you see them lose or they mess up or whatever...it breaks your heart...for them and for the team..So, it was a hard thing, for us all to watch, from our homes and definitely a tough thing for our girls to be going through.

So now what? Well, my best guess is, Ms. Dianna took all of this in stride...She was mad as hell last night...between Selena at the beginning and the loss at the end..she probably just wanted to go sit in a lounge chair, with a tall cold drink, with an umbrella in it...LOL..But we know already that Dianna is a fighter and those girls are dang sure fighters...This was just a wake up call. They have been winning and Stamping their way across the South...

But, every Team loses..Ms D said that too. It's okay...We are going to come back.. Stronger...Tougher...and More Focused than ever before. No Doubt! No Question!

So, as the loss carried over into today, we have watched the fans vs the haters emerge, yet again. LOL..too funny. However, the REAL FANS...are standing up and shouting out and holding up the Dancing Dolls after last night. They have come out louder and more supportive than ever...though the haters, are talking...no way they can talk over the Supporters...We are here and we are loud! We did feel bad for Tawantza, who is outspoken and straight up, says what she thinks! She made the comment about how good the Miami Team was...Social Media set her on fire! No matter what; Fans...Honesty is something Dianna lives by and if we are all HONEST, we have to offer congrats, to Tracy and the Miami team for a job well done..So let's not crucify Tawantza for being an honest person and having the good sportsmanship, to offer positive feedback instead of being sour grapes.

This loss was tough, but Dianna is unbothered by all of it. She was on a plane to South Africa to promote the Dolls today...Life moves forward and so do the Dancing Dolls. Their reach is phenomenal and they are not stopping halfway through this journey. I know, as a True Fan, they are going to be working harder than ever. Ms. D is already planning bigger and better dances. She said last night, the next team on the list is going to pay the price of this loss..because this is the motivation to be so good the next time, no way they will walk away empty handed. We all know...Dianna don't play and she don't say it, if she don't mean it.

We are going to work harder than ever to show our support to Dianna and the Dolls...We know they are going to come back to kick butt and to do what we know they can do!

No Worries Dolls...We Are Here! We Are DDS NATION!...#DD4L...#DD4L!  JE

Who Is Your Favorite Dancing Doll?

Since Bring It started last year, on Lifetime TV, it has created a swarm of controversy about who is the best dancer and who is the "Favorite" Doll. We have had many questions and comments about this subject. We thought now, would be a great time to talk about it.

The last few weeks on the show, we have seen many different emotional situations...Kayla making plans to leave the team and Camryn and Tamia competing for the open, Captain position. That decision was made by making them Co-Captains. For whatever reason, Dianna felt it was a better fit to handle it that way.
Last week we watched Coach D make the decision to NOT participate in the Captain Solo Dance because she thought Camryn wasn't ready. Her decision, right or wrong, caused many feelings to emerge.

Indeed, it has been a bumpy ride for the last few weeks...Moms fussing, things changing and all while the entire show is blowing up across the country. Fans are coming out of countries, I never even knew, broadcast the show. We have seen hits on this blog from Poland, Jamaica, Ukraine, Russia, Germany, Canada and more. So our responses to posts on Facebook and on this blog have been amazing and varied.

Also we know, everybody has an opinion. So we have just patiently watched to see what the reaction would be for the internal competitions. What we were not expecting, was to find out that "some" of the "FANS" had turned into online mobs. Picking their favorite dancing doll and then turning that into a hate fest for other Dolls. It would have been funny but instead it was very sad. All of those so-called "Supporters" had created a unsolicited contest and in the process, made the Dolls, they didn't like, a target. Hateful comments, nasty posts and unnecessary ignorance, have been popping up on pages everywhere.

So we want to take a stab at sorting it all out...

First, if you haven't noticed, the Dancing Dolls are a group of children. They are not grown ass women who can stand up and defend themselves against the Internet. Second, again, if you haven't noticed, it takes a BUS to get everyone where they are going. So, those two little tidbits, tell me, there are more than 3 people on the Dancing Dolls, Dance TEAM. With the word TEAM being the Operative Word here, we have to ASSUME..there are lots of girls there.

  With that being said, It is a part of being an adult to know the difference between TV & Real Life. Bring It is a kick ass show. They fuss and they do what they do. It all makes for great TV. But at the end of the day, when the lights go out, they are still Kids..


WANT TO KNOW WHO MY FAVORITE DANCING DOLL IS?

My favorite is all of those who bust their ass to dance and work and go to school.....I love Kayla...cause she is a hell of a leader..I love Camryn because she brings a different style to the table and she is just so sweet...I love Sunjai because she dances her butt off and is like a sleeping giant...She doesn't say much and unless she is dancing, she really don't jump right out at you, except for that beautiful face....Crystianna is just a sweetheart and also has great talent...

BUT the ones you DON"T automatically hear about are like the thousand of girls across the country, who are busting their butts and winning competitions, traveling and working for something better...100's of Coaches who are showing up and teaching these beautiful young women and men to go for their dreams and work hard for what they want..SO MY FAVORITE is the ones who do it...Whether I know their name on the show or not...they are there..they are working and I love watching them and being a part of their support team...TEAM......KEYWORD...‪#‎DD4L‬ Means TEAM...It Means EVERYBODY....So Does ‪#‎DDSNATION‬....TEAM TO SUPPORT THE DANCING DOLLS....EASY HUH?

It would seem that the "FANS" vary from the  young girls, who crowd in front of the TV on Friday night, to watch the Dolls learn new dances and see what they do in the competition...... to the almost rabid, overbearing folks, who get so involved in the show, it takes over their lives....
Some would appear to be stalker types. There are people making FAKE Social Media pages, calling themselves fans. It has become a circus. I guess nobody really saw it coming. How do you anticipate the nasty behavior we have seen emerge?

So we hope to reach out to the "REAL FANS" and tell you that we support, ALL of the Dolls. Though we hope to write individual articles, each one of them, soon, we will never show the favoritism that says, we think, one Doll, is more important, than any of the rest.

We have come to love every single person there. Whether we know their name or not, we know, they are there working, everyday, to be the best dancers they can be. Each person that we see on the show is an important part of the Team. They each bring something to the table. Whether their personality or their special dance style or their attitude, we take notice of them and remember them the next time.

Being a part of the show, has given all them a chance to shine. Many of the people who are watching them each week, are themselves dancers.

We are watching lots of teams, who before, never thought they could go so far, reaching higher and working harder to see if they can be as good as the Dancing Dolls of Jackson Mississippi. They are buckin and dropping and dancing and putting in the time to see how far they can go. Just like the Dancing Dolls, there is not JUST ONE PERSON, who makes their teams what they are. They work together to put the best moves on the floor and to win each competition like Champions. Without  everybody, there would be no TEAM.


We celebrate and honor ALL of the Dance Teams across the country, who put the time in and work hard. We also celebrate and honor ALL of the Coaches, who take the time to teach and mentor our young people. Everybody that participates in dancing is a hero, in our book. What these girls do later in life, is ultimately influenced, by their time spent doing this. We get excited when we see them and we get protective over anything that takes away from their goals.

Kayla, Camryn, Crystianna, Tamia, Sunjai and everyone else, deserves to be cheered on. They deserve the opportunity to be teenagers and to be who they are. Nasty comments and ignorant name calling is just childish. So DDS Nation is going to make it our goal, to always STAND UP for what our Dancing Dolls do...not just individually, but collectively..not just giving praise to just one person, but lifting up and praising everybody's hard work.

We are also letting this be the kick off article before we showcase Dance Teams across America..We already have several ready to go..but we want everybody that supports the Dolls, that have Dance Teams to know, we think they are great too....we see how hard they are dancing and how they put their hearts and souls into what they do..we just want to give them a Shout Out and say Best Of Everything...So watch for those coming soon...And while you are at it..Don't pick favorites on the Dolls and let it become obsessive...Pick a favorite BUT cheer for everybody! Thats what DDS Nation is all about.

If you see someone else working hard, giving it their all, even if it appears to take away from YOUR Glory...give them a helping hand or a kind word or a hand up. Tearing people down, especially kids is a big ole No-No...Especially When It Comes To My Dancing Dolls...So GROW UP FOLKS...Lets Cheer Them Dolls To Victory.....#DD4L....#DDSNATION.....#BDD.....#DDP...

Second Episode Of Bring It? Has Dianna Gone Soft?

We are waking up this Friday morning, getting ready for the second episode of Bring It. After watching the 1st episode, we are all wondering, what is happening at the Dollhouse? Last week's show portrayed Ms. D in a much different light, than it has ever before. From the beginning of the show, Ms. D has been loud and proud of her boisterous attitude. Her demeanor has been one of control, directing all of those around her and never, ever taking any crap from anyone.

In last week's show, we saw a complete reversal of that behavior. As the Miami SupaStarz pulled their bus in to the Dollhouse Dance Factory parking lot, viewers and fans, assumed Dianna was getting ready to come unglued. We just knew that she was coming through the doors of the Dollhouse like a bullet and was fixing to unleash her fury on Tracy ( Miami's Coach).

I think everyone was totally blown away by the real response we saw. As Dianna came out of the Dollhouse, her whole appearance changed. Her normal yelling and talking trash attitude turned into a mellowed, composed and almost silent, lamb. I think it probably floored everyone watching. To see a Dianna that is not on point and that is not telling it like it is, to of all those around her, seemed extremely odd.

Now, here we are waiting for the second episode tonight. What is that going to bring? Has Ms. D made a life change to a more calm and composed coach? Has she gone soft on us? Who knows? The competition tonight is going to be tough...The Divas of Olive Branch are a great team and always offer their best, when they show up for competitions.

What will Dianna do this week to show the Dancing Dolls are better than the Divas of Olive Branch? Well we know she has new female talent in the mix. Zatia is the newest Dancing Doll. Her mom Tawantza has settled in with ease, in the mix of the Dancing Doll Parents. She didn't hesitate to stand toe to toe with Dianna, though it got her tossed from the Dollhouse practice. She is pushing for her daughter's place on the team and on the show. Zatia hasn't shown us what she can do yet, but we know she wouldn't be there, if she wasn't very good.

What else does Dianna plan for this competition with the Divas? It looks like she is bringing in a Secret Weapon? What is that? Well, it would appear she has brought in male choreographers to help boost the Dolls skills. Her statement of putting the baddest heffers on the floor was serious business. Now we will see if the Secret Weapon pays off in the competition. No doubt it is a great idea to get new talent and new dance moves in for future battles.

This season is proving to be different and exciting. As we know with TV Reality shows, if they don't keep it fresh and interesting, the rating fall fast. We are anticipating Bring It to continue to climb in the ratings. The staff and production crew, obviously are paying attention and are coordinating with Dianna to make it the best they can be, each and every week.

We will be watching on this 2nd episode of Season 2 to see if our trash talking, hard working Coach D has changed her demeanor for the future or if we were just seeing a smarter strategy for handling the competition. It is strange to watch, but we can be sure, Dianna knows whats up and she is using every available tool at her disposal to make sure the Dolls are well represented and that they come out winners.

Stay Tuned for the Competition with the Divas of Olive Branch...Tonight on Lifetime TV..Are You Ready To Bring It?

Does Dancing As A Young Girl Or Teenage Girl Make You Grow Up To Be A Stripper?


So after a great trip for the Supporters of the Dancing Dolls, we are back to our normal activities with families and work and of course, our online conversations about the future of the Dancing Dolls and the Upcoming Activities they are involved in. We are all excited to see, just where they are going to advance to, from here. 

As we gather on Social Media to talk and visit and enjoy the company of other Supporters, we are acutely aware of opposition and negativity among others. They come out sooner or later, dressed in Supporter gear, sucking up to Dianna and other members of the DD4L & DDP. They SEEM to be supporters...but they always come out with something negative or something that sounds more like jealously than SUPPORT. Or they go to a filmed event and can't hardly wait to get home and upload their funky videos of competition....or tell who the winner was..LOL

This blog article is going to address the FACTS of one of the most RECENT ATTACKS on Dianna and the Dolls. Majorette Dance has been around since the 1700'S...  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majorette_(dancer)..NOT a new discovery.

We had a Supporter, recently, say that she felt the dances being done by the Dolls at various competitions and the music being played, was too provocative for girls to do and that it would probably make them grow up want to be STRIPPERS......OKAY....Deep Breath...LOL..Okay!

Instead of cussing or calling names, we want to provide the FACTS of what dance does do to girls who get involved in ANY kind of dancing. We are providing actual facts, provided by experts in the field of dance. These two examples are by Professionals who have observed the results of dancing in both young children and in teenagers. These facts, include all types of dancing. It does not discriminate between different kinds of dancing.
If you don't KNOW the benefits and are judging what Dianna Williams is trying to do with these kids, it is important to have more knowledge versus just looking so damn ignorant.

As for the subject of child exploitation, I would venture to say NOBODY GUARDS the integrity or the safety or the well being of those girls, more than Dianna Williams. She is going to be the first to say NO, they aren't doing that or I don't like the way this is done, because of concern for the girls. She would NEVER stand by and allow ANY exploitation. So That was a Silly Argument as well. 

However, WE KNOW, as Supporters, exactly what the benefits are. We are Supporters, not just because they are on TV. We are Supporters because we have a child or grandchild who has dreamed of dancing and because of  Bring It, NOW have the courage to go for their dreams...seeing REAL girls, struggling to have the best life possible.

We are Supporters, because we have children who have been dancing at the Dollhouse Dance Factory. Though we may not be on TV, we are there, supporting our girls..who get exactly the same instruction that everyone else that you see, gets. We are Supporters because we can SEE the benefits listed below, working in so many girls we know.

It is not now, nor never has been about a Damn TV Show. It is about the END Results! It is about teaching girls and young women to be STRONG...INDEPENDENT....SELF CONFIDENT...To DREAM....

It would SEEM to the TRUE SUPPORTERS of the Dancing Dolls, who do get it...that it is all about those things....It would also SEEM That the Supposed Supporters are just looking for an avenue to something else....They FAILED to secure their own dream and if Dianna won't acknowledge them or give them the time of day, they turn like a bad apple. They start spewing nastiness and calling it SOUND ADVICE...


**Here is a quote from Robert Williams(Dianna's Husband) I took from Facebook:

"I can stand on the sideline and watch another brother/sister shine. When it was my time to get in the game and it wasn't a position for me, I created my own team. There is plenty of opportunities for you than to hate on someone else running their team (dreams). Get your own. Got the same 24 hrs just like the next man"!.....***********

BRAVO Robert! I couldn't have said it better myself. EVERYBODY has the opportunity to GO FOR THEIR DREAMS...If you spend you time trying to steal or degrade others, you are wasting valuable time to get your own dream taken care of. NOBODY GAVE this dream to Dianna Williams and her family...she worked her ass off for it...They ALL did...Everybody in the show.

Nobody CARES if YOU DON"T LIKE Dianna or the Show..or The STYLE OF DANCE. or the MUSIC.....That's cool..Your RIGHT...However, to get upset over WHAT YOU THOUGHT was good advice, that turned out not to be...is childish and petty. IF you DON'T WANT to BE A REAL SUPPORTER...Just find something else to do. Like Be A Positive Influence On The Children In Your Care.

Of the hour and half of research, I have done on this question about girls progressing from dancing class to stripping, I was unable to find any supporting data or study to confirm that theory. Everything I found about the subject, proved, not only does dancing teach discipline and determination, it teaches self esteem and self confidence. Because of this FACT, a girl is less likely to become engaged in ANY activity that would prove to destroy that self confidence. So the ASSumption that dancing to any certain music or any certain style of dance can cause a girl to be a stripper, a whore or anything else negative is just somebody's opinion.

Of course, we knew that. We also know, there will always be people trying to discourage or discredit the Dancing Dolls. Not because the Dolls or Dianna deserve that but because people are more intent on minding other peoples business, instead of focusing on their own. What makes it sadder is many of those critics are LEADING CHILDREN...THEY are responsible for the minds of the young, just like Dianna Williams.

YET, they are using that Golden Opportunity to SHOW those kids how to be jealous, petty and to do whatever it takes to attempt to look good yourself.or to instill false ideas such as the complaint above...KIDS NEED to HEAR FACTS...NOT YOUR MESSED UP FEELINGS? ..They do this, even at the expense of others....And we wonder WHY our youth are so messed up?..I don't....

When ADULTS don't grow up and be Adults, they should not be in charge of RAISING OTHERS. We can pray for all involved in this latest controversy and we will. 

But BE INFORMED...AS TRUE SUPPORTERS...IF YOU Come to Social Media, With The Intent Of Trying To Degrade And Discredit Dianna Williams or Anyone Associated With The Dancing Dolls, WE WILL DEFEND HER. BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IN HER.....To the point of running you out of OUR SPACE on a rail. Don't Like her..don't like the Dolls...don't like US....Cool Beans! That's Just Fine!

BUT Don't Show Up With Hateful Attitudes Cause You Are Jealous...Trying To Portray Unfounded Concern In the Face of Your Jealously.......Start Your Own Page...Start Your Own Dream...Get A Life For Real: Maybe READ MORE: Like the Stuff Below...LOL

The information below is posted from another site. Actual observations by Dance Educators and Professionals Concerning The Benefits of Dancing and Children/Teens.
According to the National Dance Education Organization: The Benefits of Dance In Early Childhood Are:


Dance is a powerful ally for developing many of the attributes of a growing child. Dance helps children mature physically, emotionally, socially, and cognitively. The physical benefits of dance are widely accepted, but the emotional, social and cognitive attributes have only recently begun to be appreciated. 
  
  • Physical Development: Dance involves a greater range of motion, coordination, strength and endurance than most other physical activities. This is accomplished through movement patterns that teach coordination and kinesthetic memory. Dancing utilizes the entire body and is an excellent form of exercise for total body fitness. Young children are naturally active, but dance offers an avenue to expand movement possibilities and skills. 

  • Emotional Maturity: Dance promotes psychological health and maturity. Children enjoy the opportunity to express their emotions and become aware of themselves and others through creative movement. A pre-school child enters a dance class or classroom with a history of emotional experiences. Movement within a class offers a structured outlet for physical release while gaining awareness and appreciation of oneself and others. 
  • Social Awareness: Dance fosters social encounter, interaction, and cooperation. Children learn to communicate ideas to others through the real and immediate mode of body movement. Children quickly learn to work within a group dynamic. As the ongoing and sometimes challenging process of cooperation evolves, children learn to understand themselves in relation to others. 
  • Cognitive Development: Young children will create movement spontaneously when presented with movement ideas or problems that can be solved with a movement response. Movement provides the cognitive loop between the idea, problem, or intent and the outcome or solution. This teaches an infant, child and, ultimately, adult to function in and understand the world. The relationship of movement to intellectual development and education is an embryonic field of study that has only recently begun to be explored.

6 Noteworthy Benefits Of Dance For Teenagers

Dance is a fantastic extra-curricular activity for teenagers to participate in.  While the list of reasons is substantial, for starters, here are 6 noteworthy benefits of dance for teenagers:

  • One – Dance is an all-around healthy activity.  We all need a little bit more exercise in our lives…teens included.  And when it comes to getting some much-need cardio, dance delivers very nicely.  Plus, dance is also an excellent way to build an all around fit body.
  •  Two – Dance is a great way to meet people with similar interests.  Sometimes the teenage years can be challenging socially, to say the least.  It can be hard to meet new people who teens can really identify with and make lasting connections.  Dance is a great way to connect with a diverse group of other teens who all come together for a similar “cause.”
  • Three – Dance provides a way to get off the street.  Many teenagers desperately need a place to go and an activity to participate in that is wholesome and can provide a healthy outlet to escape from the challenges and pressures of everyday life as a teen.  The dance studio makes a fantastic escape from harsh realities and helps promote a positive outlook.
  • Four – Speaking of positive outlook—dance is a great way to help teens develop better self-confidence.  The teen years are a trying time in life…there’s peer pressure and many other things that are at the forefront of concern, day in and day out.  Fortunately, dance provides an excellent dose of self-esteem, self-respect, and self-confidence through its opportunities for learning and making notable accomplishments.
  • Five – Activities like dance help teens perform better at school. Maybe it all connects back to the increase in self-esteem and confidence that extra-curriculars like dance provide for teenagers, or maybe it’s even from the brain stimulation that dance and music are proven to promote.  Either way, the results are attractive—having an activity like dance in their lives very often correlates to achieving better grades in school.
  • Six – Dance equals discipline.  Learning complicated dance routines and continuing to improve skills and dancing abilities is certainly a challenge.  But the good news is that most kids thrive on challenges like this, especially so when they’re as fun as dance is.  At any rate, dance does have strong connections to building discipline; and without discipline, it is not very easy at all to get to the next level…in dance or in life.

Supporting The Dancing Dolls In Jackson

Well, last weekend was a huge success for the Dancing Dolls Supporters Group. We loaded our vehicles and made our way over to Jackson, Mississippi, to show our support for the girls we love.

Some folks came in on Friday night. Those that were able to get there early, gathered in front of the Dollhouse Dance Factory to take pictures and get to know other Supporters. Ms. Lynnette Day was there with her daughter and son, coming in from Illinois. Several folks like Ms. Shirley Arnold drove up from Florida. Others like Myzz Richardson & Ms.Cheeky, are Jackson natives and are more than familiar with the Dollhouse fame in Jackson. Rose Patton, Angela Barton and others came in force to show their support.

I took 4 of my favorite kids with me. We left Dallas, decorated and full of DDS Spirit with our car reflecting that spirit. We had Dollhouse Dance Factory or Bust on the Front and Honk If You Love The Dancing Dolls on the side. As we rolled across Texas, Louisiana & Mississippi, we were bombarded with Horns honking in support.

As Supporters pulled into the parking lot of the Dollhouse, we were all almost giddy with excitement. My crew was giggling uncontrollably when we pulled in. As we parked, we were very aware of the Security presence. We knew before arriving, they were filming for next season and knew we had to follow procedure in order to hang out. We were greeted by Robert Williams, who everybody knows is Dianna's cool husband. He is a great representative for the Dancing Dolls. The man behind the scenes, but for Supporters on Facebook, we know him as the Ambassador for the Dolls. He is the first one walking around at events or activities, talking with fans and quietly managing more than anyone actually sees. On every occasion, Robert was going the extra mile, to allow us to be excited and to get a chance to be more involved, while we were there. He helped to secure the supplies we had brought along and get them inside to their storage area. He is a gracious host and made us all feel very welcome.

We also got the chance to spend some quality time with our favorite DDP Moms, Tina & Mimi. They were absolutely the friendliest and most down to earth folks we have met. It didn't feel like you were talking to somebody on TV, it felt like spending time with friends. They have not let the TV hype keep them from being real. We truly enjoyed hanging out with these special ladies. Though we didn't get to see Ms. Dianna, we were acutely aware of the pressure she was under, with the pending competition on Sunday. Her drive for perfection, drives her dedication to doing whatever it takes to get the job done.
We had fun trying to peek in the window and trying not to get caught. Robert intervened with security on our behalf, to let us get, just a glimpse inside. I was not at the window..I was standing close to Robert..just in case she heard us out there. It was all in fun and we are happy, we got to have the experience.

After our initial excitement..we all retreated to our hotels to get some rest and get ready for a big day on Saturday. Everybody came with the anticipation of going to the Jackson State Football game or doing some site seeing or visiting with friends. So Saturday brought different activities for different folks. For the people that went to the JSU game, that proved to be excitement all in its own. As with all college football games, the fans were on fire. Tailgating parties, hundreds of fans in the stadium and the Sonic Boom, totally pumped up. Though the game was a loss, the halftime show and the ongoing band show was well worth the efforts to get through the traffic and the overwhelming crowd.

Sunday was our cherry on top, for the weekend. We all came to be there for Sunday. The Dancing Dolls Competition in Vicksburg. We were all advised by CEO to get there early for good seats. He wasn't joking about that. It was impossible for us to all sit together, but we made contact and were all ready to cheer on our Dolls. Because it was part of the taping, it was a longer process than it would be normally. As with any TV show, if it wasn't perfect, they had to redo it until it was. That part made us laugh and gave us numerous opportunities to cheer. The Miami team was in full force as well, which made it even more fun. Throughout the competition, though being filmed, the fight was real and the results were real. The fan support was absolutely for real. Both sides were showing their dedication to these wonderful dance teams. It made us all feel closer and more determined than ever to be an amazing source of support for our Dancing Dolls.

We hope to take another trip to Jackson, to bring DDS Nation to our Dolls. We are united online and in person for this cause. Seeing them in person, spending time in their town and participating in the show, has brought it into reality for us. We see in person the dedication of Dianna Williams and her team, to the growth and support of young women. On TV, sometimes, it can appear to be sort of phony. And as supporters,we know for it's continued success, a certain amount of direction has to take place. But the purpose is real and Dianna is real. The fight is for real, every single competition. The soul behind the purpose, is surely for real.

We are DDS Nation and we will be here to support them, as long as they will have us. DD4L...Thanks For Having Us In Jackson, Mississippi! It was a great weekend. Memories for a lifetime.

We will be tuning in next season to see what happens. Will you be there with us too?

Going To Jackson



Well, tomorrow, DDS Nation is headed to Mississippi. A bunch of Dancing Dolls Supporters are going down to show support for Dianna and The Dancing Dolls at a couple of events. We are all excited to get the chance to show our support at a competition. Though many aren't able to go this weekend, we are united in spirit..They are shouting from their homes..supporting us going to support Dianna and the Dancing Dolls...We are a huge family and we are pulling together to show that support.

As we pack up and get ready to go, we are all thinking about the past season of Bring It and how it fired us all up. Each week we have gathered on Social Media and posted our thoughts and excitement about each upcoming episode on Wednesday.

Anticipation of every competition began 5 minutes after midnight on Wednesday. Facebook buzzing with everybody's thoughts on each segment of the previous nights dance. Talking about the next episode all the way up till time for it to air. The comments, always positive, flow on the Supporter page throughout the day.

These were some of the positive comments posted about the last episode for the season:

Shannon T Carter said: I loved it!' Im so proud of kayla Camryn Sunjai Crystianna last but not least Caleda for stepping in when Crystianna took sick.Hands Down for all of the cast of Bring it! Looking forward for season 2
OR

Rachel W Eagle luved it.. the dancer bcame coach d themselves.. had to show coach d that her girls get everthing she taught them... I was proud of all those girls...


Angela B #lovedit can't wait for another road trip


E K DeEricka Stroye Loved it!! #fan4life #dd4lllllllll

If you are thinking these are KIDS making these comments..you would be wrong..These are moms and grandmothers and grown women who have fallen in love with the Dollhouse Dance Factory, Ms. Dianna Williams and the Dancing Dolls. They clear their schedules each week to be in front of the TV when Bring It comes on.

We have seen with the huge fan base that the Dancing Dolls have, their appeal is not limited to an age group, ethnic group or career group. It spans across the normal boundaries to a like minded group of people who love to see the excitement and hard work these ladies put into their dance training and their dance competitions.

Our trip this weekend to Jackson is a testament of that appeal. Though many are traveling several hours to get there, people are loading their cars tomorrow, on a mission to show their support at the next competition the Dancing Dolls are participating in.

We are hoping to be the solid fan support that keeps the Dancing Dolls, out in the limelight. We are talking about them, sharing information & going down to visit, to that end. We know the mission of Dianna Williams and the Dollhouse Dance Factory. We know it is bigger than TV. Though there are many look alike dance teams, who seem to be determined to copy the Dancing Dolls, not only in the way they dance but by using their call letters with their logos.

We know, there is only one DD4L and though others may add the 4L to their names..it will never be the same as the Dancing Dolls...Ms. D has made that term, synonymous with her brand. Others may come out trying to show, they can be Ms. D, but, they can never have the passion and the heart she brings to "Bring It" and to the girls she in charge of.

DD4L is bigger than a TV show and no matter the status of the show, DD4L has a following like no other. The Fan Supporters are a part of a movement to teach our girls to be strong and independent. It is a Dianna Williams movement. An Independent, Hard Working, Caring Woman, who wants everybody's lives she touches, to be empowered and aware of the potential they have to be, what they desire to be.

Sadly, so many other dance teams would also be beneficial for our young women, if they taught them the value of being original and standing on their own merit vs adopting someone else's ideas.

We plan to rock the house on Sunday supporting our Dolls...Stand down look alikes...We don't do fake.....See you in Jackson DDS NATION...

WE ARE DDS NATION...FROM COAST TO COAST..SUPPORTING THE DANCING DOLLS THE MOST.....DD4L....

Are You A Fan Of The Dancing Dolls? Learn The "Fan's Rules Of Etiquette"!



Are YOU a Fan of Bring It & the Dancing Dolls? Over the course of the last few months, the people who watch the show, have started showing their TRUE COLORS. You can check Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or any other Social Site, the Dolls are on and you either see folks that LOVE them and totally support them or people who HATE them & spend lots of time writing nasty comments. It's hard to know who is who, until Dianna or one of the Dancing Doll Parents, won't stop what they are doing, to take a picture. Then those that LOVED them, jump on the HATE bandwagon in a heartbeat.

The problem with that is, the only time known to anyone, they don't agree to take pictures, is when they are grocery shopping, eating out or doing some of the normal things, the rest of us do.They know because of the TV Show, they are going to be recognized and approached. That is a given. However, for someone to get upset because they are just trying to put damn food in their mouth is very silly. It also goes to show, you are NOT a REAL FAN. Your motive for trying to get a photo was selfish. AND if you stroll up and just demand a photo, you can't be serious, thinking that is okay.

Below is the post from Ms. Dianna, about the most recent incident. Mind you, this is not the first one. We just felt as the "Official Dancing Dolls Supporters Fan Blog", we would comment and then give you some "FANS RULES OF ETIQUETTE"

Dianna's comment on the situation sums up her feelings and makes the most ACCURATE statement of her character. She has CLASS!  Enough said.

REPOSTED ON THIS BLOG FROM FACEBOOK: 


Dianna Dancing-Dolls Williams
Understand this! IF I'm eating, I'm not getting up to take a picture. So ???????, if that was rude to you, I'm so sad for you Bc there is no way a complete stranger can walk up to you and say "can I take a picture." Not once did you speak and say, HEY IM SORRY TO INTERRUPT BUT WOULD YOU MIND TAKING A PIC?" It's all in your approach! So since you felt the need to post, here's my response! Happy MONDAY!


______________________________________________________________________
DANCING DOLLS "TRUE FAN'S" RULES OF ETIQUETTE 


1. IF YOU LIVE IN OR AROUND THE AREA WHERE THE DANCING DOLLS PERFORM OR LIVE: ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU MAY RUN INTO THEM AROUND TOWN.

  • They have to go to the grocery store-just like you do. They don't have a person that does that for them. They were going to the store before they were on TV, YOU didn't see them then?
  • They enjoy going out to eat, just like you do. Running up to them and intruding on their meal like a Bull In A China Shop, isn't cool. They LOVE their fans, but may not want to take a picture with food in their teeth. 
  • Even though they are on TV, they haven't moved to Hollywood or into a secure compound with a convoy of security. They are just regular hometown people and deserve to continue to live and move around their normal areas, without being treated with disrespect.
2. EVERYBODY IN THE SHOW KNOWS, THEY HAVE LOTS AND LOTS OF FANS. THEY CAN'T TAKE PICTURES EVERY TIME THEY SEE A FAN. EVERYBODY WORKS LIKE THEY DID BEFORE THE SHOW AND HAVE PRIORITIES, JUST LIKE BEFORE: RESPECT THAT! THEY OFFER MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO GET PHOTOS AND TO MEET AND GREET WITH FOLKS FROM THE SHOW. FOLLOW THESE RULES WHEN YOU SEE THEM AND IT WILL MAKE LIFE EASIER FOR ALL. 
  • Do your research and find out where they are performing. Many times, there are photo opportunities at these events for the fans.
  • If you live in the area of Jackson, probability is, you will see them around town, more than once. If you see them at the grocery store, with their hair tied up or in their flip flops, on a Saturday, 15 mins, after they got out the door, trying to get Cobe some breakfast, PROBABLY not a GOOD TIME to ask for pictures. Think before you ask. 
  • If you don't live in the Jackson MS area, are visiting or whatever applies, it would not be the end of the world, if you don't get a photo, so be considerate of the circumstances..again research on best times. If that is WHY you are going to Jackson...LOL!

3. IF YOU ARE SO DESPERATE TO GET A PHOTO WITH DIANNA OR SOMEONE ELSE IN THE SHOW REMEMBER THESE SIMPLE TIPS:
  1. BE AWARE: THEY ARE UNDER "NO OBLIGATION" TO TAKE A PICTURE WITH YOU!
  2. HAVE THE GOOD SENSE TO TRY AND PICK A BETTER TIME TO ASK FOR ONE-EVEN IF YOU ARE INCONVENIENCED.
  3. HAVE THE "SOCIAL SKILLS AND PROPER ATTITUDE" TO ADDRESS THEM PROPERLY. I MEAN COMMON SENSE TELLS ME THAT RUNNING UP TO THEM AND INSISTING THEY TAKE A PICTURE, IS THE PERFECT WAY TO GET DISMISSED, WITHOUT ANYTHING.
  4. IF YOU GET TURNED DOWN, BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A GOOD TIME, HAVE THE DECENCY TO UNDERSTAND. DON'T JUMP ON TWITTER OR FACEBOOK-TALKING BOUT HOW MS DIANNA IS A BITCH OR WHATEVER. OR GETTING ON YOUTUBE AND TALKING TRASH, CUZZ SHE WOULDN'T DO AN INTERVIEW.

4. DIANNA, THE DANCING DOLLS AND DDP, LOVE THEIR FANS! THEY TAKE PHOTOS, TIRELESSLY AT EVENTS. THEY PLANT A SMILE FOR THE 10 THOUSANDTH TIME...BECAUSE THEY LOVE THEIR FANS SO MUCH. 

  • DISRESPECT IS NOT NEEDED OR ACCEPTED! THE "REAL FANS" KNOW THIS!
  • DIANNA, THE DDP & OTHERS, COMMENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA TO FAN QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS! BE A PART OF THAT-NOT A SOMETIMER!...
  • SEE THE POSITIVE THINGS THEY DO! NOT THE NEGATIVE STUFF!

5. IF YOU ARE TRYING TO GET YOUR CHILD ON THE SHOW OR IN THE SCHOOL-NO FREE RIDES BECAUSE YOU LOOK LIKE YOU ARE NICE.

  • HARD WORK-DEDICATION AND OPPORTUNITY MAKE THE CHOICES FOR DANCERS-NOT SMILING AND BEING FAKE TO GET YOUR WAY! 
  • HELP YOUR CHILD WORK HARD! BE DEDICATED TO YOUR CHILD-NOT THE TV SHOW OR IT'S MEMBERS! 
  • SET AN EXAMPLE FOR YOUR CHILD! DON'T BE UGLY TO OTHERS WHEN YOU CAN'T HAVE YOUR WAY!
  •  TEACH THEM TO FOLLOW THEIR DREAMS!
______________________________________________________________________________
This particular group of Dancing Dolls Supporters is a group of mostly parents or older. We don't have many teenagers in our Fan Club. We Attempt to BE ADULTS AND TO SEE THE REALITY of what is happening in Jackson Mississippi, with these INSTANT STARS OF LIFETIME TV...Though we all would love to hug their necks and wish them well, we try to always remember who they were BEFORE the show. Our GOAL is to ACTUALLY SUPPORT THEM!

We will respond to all negative comments that get posted. As before, we ask you to not be selfish and to get a grip on your own attitudes. If you can't FOLLOW the Rules Of Etiquette, then don't, but don't expect the people who support this group to let nasty comments go by without response. 

YOU SHOULD SPEND  YOUR TIME MAKING YOUR OWN LIFE BETTER VS BEING MAD BECAUSE, YOU DON'T HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE'S LIFE..
