| The current crop of Rah Booty |
Their cheers still revolve around girl-power messages imbued with lots
of humor. (A Rah! Booty classic is dedicated to urinary-tract
infections: "If you wanna get with me, you better have some
cranberry!") But life's not all laughs for the remaining Booty-ers.
KCAI no longer funds the squad, and it doesn't perform at the
school or use campus areas as practice space anymore, Mantia says.
performance endeavors," Mantia says. "It's hard for us because the
school denies acknowledging us as a school group, yet they show slides
of us at admissions presentations across the country and tout us as one
of their longest standing 'clubs' or extra-curriculars."
Rah! Booty hosts a DJ-dance night at the Czar Bar next Wednesday (February 17),
starting at 10 p.m. To get a sense of what constitutes appropriate
attire, we asked Mantia what goes into Rah! Booty's
homemade uniform.
"I sewed all the pinafores and boys' shorts with attached suspenders," Mantia writes. "The shirts were just packaged Hanes shirts with sewn collars and sleeves. I made the hats too -- primed and starched canvas adorned with our Rah! Booty symbol (which is meant to look like boobs and a butt). Other than some accessories, we make all of our own costumes, and they are always accompanied by our standard white socks and tennis shoes."
Rah! Booty has a "bad" alter-ego, called Rröh Büté, whose colors are lime green and black. "We'll be wearing [the pink-and-white costumes] over full-body fishnet suits and black bras with matching black wigs ... and goth makeup, of course."
Those who desire the Bootylicious look will be entitled to makeovers by the squad at the Czar Bar event, Mantia says.
Sounds fun -- but you'll never catch us in vertical stripes.
