some of the tour promo pix have a really ugly BeDazzled printed pink-ish newsboy cap too.

I read a couple comments about Bailey being bigger than Laura Bell but I watched an interview somewhere and Laura said that she lost weight doing the show. She danced for 2 hours straight almost every night. I know she said one of her costumes, might have been the bunny costume, was starting to slip off of her. I'm sure Bailey will end up losing weight to. But for the record I think both of them are skinny. By the end of Bailey's time there I bet she'll have lost weight to. Updated On: 9/9/08 at 05:50 PM

I always thought that Elle wore a newsboy cap?

Haven didn't when she wen ton. Bailey didn't wear one when I saw her. I don't remember if Becky did.

I had heard that they had to take in the costumes for Bailey and Autumn because they are so much shorter and therefore smaller than Laura Bell and Becky. Bailey is only 5 foot. Does anyone know how tall Laura Bell is?

Autumn is definitely taller than Becky.

^ Really? Autumn isn't much taller than Bailey. At least she didn't look much taller than her when I met them both at SD. But they all look short to me since I'm 5'10"....LOL(Except for Kate Shindle who is actually taller than me). I don't know how tall Becky is though. I do know that Bailey is 5'.

Each cast member has their own set of costumes made specifically for them when they join a show. Bailey and Autumn went through fittings and they each had their own set of "ELLE" costumes made and Autumn had her own set of "Ensemble" costumes made. They did not simply just take Laura's costumes and then put them on Bailey or Autumn and take them in .. hem them.. whatever to make them fit. Any changes that were made were probably things that the show costume designer had been thinking about anyway as the show progress and because of expense they decided to wait until a new cast member came to make those changes.

Let me just say, DG777, that I am jealous that you met anyone at the stage door! I went on a Saturday evening a couple of weeks ago and the ONLY principle to come out was Nicolette Hart. Love her, but I wish the others had bothered.

The one time I stage doored LB I met everyone but Christian, Andy, and Orfeh. I haven't been back since Bailey took over though.

I know Bailey personally and I can tell you she has never been big. All the women in her family are disgustingly thin and they all have great hair (yeah, I'm jealous). You should see her mom. After 3 kids she is still probably a size 4 or 6 with a terrific figure. Anywho...Bailey is about 5 feet tall and the last time I saw her she was a size 0 or 2. I doubt she has gained any weight. I'm going to visit her on 9/20 and I will ask her about the costume changes.

When I met the cast at the stage door a couple months ago Laura Bell Bundy was around my height so I'd say about 5'3'

Wow. I met most of them. Not the 3 main Delta Nu's or Richard or Christian but everyone else was out there signing. Even Kate Shindle who appologized to us for turbo signing(She thought it would be best to come out and sign instead of sneaking out the other door as she always does) Those were her words. I'm glad she did. That girl is beyond gorgeous and so freaking tall.

Bailey is really tiny. She could have stood in back of me and no one would have been able to see her. I'm not a big person either(I'm tall). 5'10", 150 lbs.

I was out shopping this morning at our local Christian bookstore and ran into Bailey's dad. I asked him why some of the costumes were changed. He said that they producers recognized that the demographics of the audience had changed since the Mtv competition and since Bailey was so much younger than LBB they wanted her costumes to look younger as well. It has nothing to do with what size she wears. It's all about making a buck. Hope that helps.

Yeah, I've heard Bailey is very short and thought it funny that they made a deal out of Natalie's height (5'0") on the show, when Bailey is just an inch or two taller than that. The doorman at the Palace said that Bailey almost always comes out but that she hadn't been that week, and he theorized that "the show is catching up with her." (couldn't tell from her performance!) I would have liked to meet Blake, Rupert, Shindle, Borle...I know Orfeh never comes out...but the highest billed name to come out was Nicolette. Kate Rockwell was the only main Delta Nu, but they are technically ensemble, I believe.

Before Bailey came most of the principals came out but now not as many principals come out. Just as many ensemble members still come out but the only principals that usually come out now are Bailey, Kate Shindle, Nicolette Hart, and maybe a Delta Nu.

Posted: 9/13/08 at 9:26am

I thought Orfeh actually comes out quite often. Usually they don't come out at matinees but when I went july 4th weekend she came out for the matinee. She started from the back of the line actually. I thought that was really nice of her. It got a little confusing when Nicolette and Orfeh got to me at the same time though.

I'm going next month so I can't wait to see the difference is the outfits. The So Much Better skirt I'm not really liking though.

Yeah the new costumes don't sound too different or bad except the pink & purple skirt is kind of an eye sore
