• I've never tried them before but maybe try the tanner wipes? I don't believe those would be considered a liquid. Not sure how dark they get though. (NT) -- ~, 17:42:56 03/13/24 Wed
• We have to fly to nearly every WR feis. I fill the 100 ml bottle of St Tropez mousse with their extra dark version (you can unscrew the top and refill), and a 100 ml tube of St Tropez finishing gloss.

          • I think it was symptomatic of a fam dispute and some jealousy—TCs at CR used to have a bulletin board that posted pics of other school’s dancers with their eyes gouged out! This is a fact. Our children went to the other school after split. This vitriol was common at CR then, but J and A also tried to be “friends” with their kids. It was a predatory atmosphere. I beleive there was a family rivalry at the time. (NT) -- Hate was cultural., 09:23:57 03/19/24 Tue
            • My daughters have been there for 5 years and I have never seen any of this. Sounds like your vendetta runs deep with CR. I question your parenting if you saw this and didn't leave to Malone or Rose. You waited years in that atmosphere? Sounds unlikely (NT) -- Hmmm, 10:21:03 03/19/24 Tue
        • “Widely acknowledged” by who? You? They are a very well respected school in San Diego, not involved in cheating scandal. (NT) -- Back up your words or stop trying to shift blame, 07:34:26 03/15/24 Fri
        • Dear DP and CR: NO ONE CARES about the beef between you guys except for the 2 or 3 angry dance moms on both sides who keep dragging this out. Get over it. Enough already. Please? (NT) -- No one cares about your drama, 13:46:06 03/15/24 Fri

        • Interesting that you are only hating on CR. Rose and CR sent the same amount of dancers to your feis. Your hate shows DP with each negative comment dragging down other schools. I don't see either of those schools withdrawing their support for you or any other such stupid statements. Does your TC know you are being so Classless?? (NT) -- Amy, 08:13:03 03/19/24 Tue
        • Any schools not supporting a local feis, only hurts the dancers. The local TCs should get together and discuss. No rivalry should hurt kids. Do better San Diego! (NT) -- Burbank, 08:38:44 03/20/24 Wed
          • omg did you really just say that? considering the real reason why so many didn't support this school hosting? it's not a rivalry, it's the recent cheating scandal (NT) -- get a grip, 08:51:53 03/20/24 Wed
          • Had DP opened a school in LA you would be seeing the same issues there. No one in the WR is exactly rolling out the welcome mat for this school. The people that transferred to that school from all over SoCal knew exactly what they were doing. They sold their souls that day for hideous dresses and flames to signal judges cheating. Don't act all pollyanna about it now. The least you can do is own it. You went there to get ahead by going to a school that will openly cheat for your kid. (NT) -- MP, 09:42:06 03/20/24 Wed
            • You sure seem to think you know a lot about the stories, intentions and motivations of people that you do not know. But do go on....because the one thing our Irish Dance community needs more of is middle aged women who think they know everything about everyone and spew judgement and hate towards other adults/children in this small community. (NT) -- You are the problem, it's you, 11:01:47 03/20/24 Wed
              • Not the above poster, however, your jab about women says it all. There's no hate towards adults or children here. Simply stating the facts from those of us (NT) -- that do NOT condone cheating and rigged results, 11:26:13 03/20/24 Wed
            • CR had no problem taking transfers but people leave and suddenly it’s an issue? Maybe it’s not just about winning. Different people respond to different teachers. Maybe it’s about a different class structure. Maybe people wanted a teacher with a masters in education teaching their kids. Sometimes transfers are best for everyone including the people who stay (NT) -- It’s time to move on, 15:38:37 03/21/24 Thu
          • I agree. TCs should not be blacklisting region-approved feises for their dancers. Let individual families decide if they want to participate. -- No name, 10:23:09 03/21/24 Thu
