In Memory of the Astrodome: 13 Awesome Derrick Dolls Pictures, from When Cheerleaders Were Cheerleaders
Everyone got a big piece of Astrodome nostalgia yesterday, after the media was granted a tour of the dusty, dilapidated old stadium. 
They don't make `em like the Derrick Dolls anymore.
It put us in mind of the glory days of the Dome, when cheerleaders had hair that reached to the skies and embodied everything that the phrase "Fashions of the `70s and `80s" can mean.
So we contacted Vivien Hemphill, who runs the Derrick Dolls Alumni Facebook page. She gave us permission to root around in their copious collection of photographs.
The Alumni, by the way, are beginning to get more organized, going to charity events and appearances. A reunion this summer is expected to draw more than 100 former Dolls.
"We all still look pretty good," she says.
Ah, but we bet they no longer sport the hairdos and style sense they had way back then. Which might be a good thing.
13. Now that's a 50-yard line
With women lolling barefoot on the Astroturf, surrounding an all-time classic NFL logo.

11. A lady does not expose her shoulders
We like how this picture shows the Astroturf for the cheap, hardly cushioned throw rug it was.
10 Subtle.
We're sure a lot of planning and research went into getting just the proper angle for this shot.
