Buffalo Jills and Bandettes Photos of The Week

This week, our first Jills photo comes to us from this past April's Congratulatory Party, held at Club Paradise in Blasdell. Club Paradise will also be the site of the Swimsuit Calendar Release Party on October 25th so if you haven't already marked it on your calendars, don't hesitate to do so. In this first shot, we see Tiffany, Jenica, and Jessica L posing for a quick photo. Tiffany is a very engaging girl when it comes to conversation, very friendly and easy to talk to. Jenica is coming off a season in which she was the swimsuit calendar covergirl and also mugged for the camera from the sidelines more than anyone save the departed Amanda P. Jessica, known as Jess to her friends, is always sporting a bright smile and if you're thinking of throwing her off guard with a blonde joke or two, forget it. She's heard them all and has plenty of her own to tell as well. But she's known more for her fun personality than her natural blonde hair.

The second Jills photo comes from the first (annual?) Buffalo Men's Show held at the Agri-Center at the fairgrounds in Hamburg this past May. This was an event that celebrated men with sports stars, electronics toys like big screen TVs and game systems as well as snowmobiles, ATVs, and even replicas of KITT and the General Lee. The best part, though, was the gorgeous women including a Playboy Playmate, the CW23's Lydia, and of course, the Buffalo Jills. In this shot we see Lonna, Omarlla, Valerie, Stephanie BR, and Amelina posing for a quick photo.

With the Bandettes, continuing our look at the NLL Championship Game, we see a shot taken during halftime while waiting for the Bandettes to take the field for their performance. While the other girls were going over dance moves or getting psyched up to get back on the field, some of the girls posed for a quick picture. Here we see Jessica, Ashley, and Justina. Prior to joining the Bandettes, Jessica was in the US Navy while Ashley's face is familiar to longtime Buffalo pro cheerleading fans as she spent the 2002-03 NFL season as a member if the Buffalo Jills. Justina's claim to fame is twofold. She once performed with the Pittsburgh Ballet Company and she's now the self-proclaimed good luck charm for the Bandits so we should see a few more NLL Titles the next few years as long as she sticks around.

And here's a little blast from the past from the archives. Here's Casey from the Bandettes circa 2002 in her days with the Buffalo Bombshells.

Bandette of The Week Ashley

We finish up this season's run of the Bandette of The Week with the covergirl of sorts of the Bandettes. While it's true the Bandettes don't have a calendar, they do have a poster and this year's is different than past years. In the past, it's been a group photo. This year, it's a group of individual pics with a bit of a background of Ashley. This is her 2nd season on the Bandettes but her 3rd as a pro cheerleader. Prior to the Bandettes, she also spent the 2002 season as a Buffalo Jill. But Ashley is more than about dance, she's also a certified personal trainer and is also noted for her efforts in community service, winning the Martin Luther King Keeping the Dream Alive award.

Bandette of The Week Ashley

This week, we take a look at one of our rookies on the Bandettes. If you're a longtime fan of Buffalo's pro cheerleaders, you might just recognize Ashley. She was actually on the 2002 Buffalo Jills as well and cheered alongside her current coach...Erin J was the captain of the squad that Ashley cheered on. Besides being a student and personal trainer, she has devoted a lot of time in her life to community service as well...so much so that she once won the Martin Luther King Keeping the Dream Alive award for community service.

Bandettes Profiles-Ashley

Even though Ashley is a newcomer to the Bandettes for the 2007 season, she has been dancing since the age of three when her mom put her in tap shoes and signed her up for class. She has been involved in many different kinds of dance types, but her favorite is hip-hop because it's the easiest kind of dance to express oneself.
