In the name of intrepid journalism, I ventured out to Belconnen this afternoon to bring you all photos of the Raiderettes trials.
There were maybe 40 girls learning a routine while I was there, with another bunch waiting to have their turn.
The girl in the camouflage pants at the left of this picture was teaching the routine. I presumed she was one of last year’s bunch of Raiderettes.
There was much posing involved in the bit of routine I saw. All the girls seemed to be competent at it and certainly did much better than I could have done.
One of the feature moves was a straddle jump, for those who were able to do it (I did think the group who said they could do it were probably at an advantage in terms of getting the gig).

Strangely unnoticed by the media, Paris Hilton appeared to have come to try out.
The marque of class…
A couple of the girls had extravagant piercings.
And most were concentrating on the routine, rather than noticing the roaming cameras.
