All-Star Yella Ribbon Bows

Like maybe someone that posted on this thread about how great they are?? ;)

I thought the same thing as you and McLovin! So I looked. It's not. LOL

Does anyone ever wonder if she's a member of the fierceboard as a name none of us know? I've often wondered if she still reads and follows the board. I, personally, have never had a problem with Yella Ribbon or the owners. I liked both of them and had at one point became decent friends with them. I defended her like MAD back when all that happened but she still blew me off and stopped communicating with me. So it was just whatever. Life goes on. But I often got free bows from them and my girls loved them! I don't think I ever paid a dime for one and they are still in perfect condition today, almost what 3-4 years later...

I ordered several practice bows from her probably 3-4 years ago when we first met her and her daughter. They're still in perfect shape and I didn't have any issues with shipping or such. There ended up being a bunch of drama with a comment a coach made that she took the wrong way and were all dead to her now but i never had any issue with anything so I'm not bothered by it.

I haven't ordered since (just because mine wasn't really into bows much and if she ever did like something it was an impulse buy she started picking them up from the moms who make them in the gym for like $5) but I thought about spanks and sports bras from there, they usually have cute looking stuff, I'm just always afraid of how that kind of thing will fit. I've determined spanks and sportsbras are like wedding dresses and the size on the tag is absolutely pointless across vendors.

I always take a lighter to the ends of my bows and gently melt them. It keeps them from fraying.

They are crazy expensive and there are plenty of other bow companies out there that produce bows that are great quality, cheaper and have great customer service.

Always go a size larger on sports bras and spankies.

Gosh I haven't bought a bow from Yella in 3 years now! The only issue I ever had was the length of shipping time. It would be a 6-8 week wait for her bows and around the holidays I was having to order them so far out.
I will give her this though...I ordered a big order of blue/black bows for cp while she was at CA, then we decided to cut the drive and move to SOT...she redid ALL of the bows in purple/black/white for me. No extra charge.
12stepCheermom Didn't she take her cp to Aviator after Charlotte? I sort of remember them leaving CAC and having a short time at another gym....
Mclovin I remember a video of you spotting her cp's back tuck?

I tried that the night before NCA Nationals one year and set my CP's bow on fire! Oh the tears when a ten year old watches her bow go up in flames!

That is very sad. Even though I did laugh. LOL

It was funny at the time, if you were not the CP! We actually lived a couple of blocks away from the lady who makes the bows and she had the replacement in our hands ASAP. So feel free to laugh!

I did receive an email this AM from Megan offering to send me a check for the rush fees I paid. Sounds like they will be making it right.

OMGoodness, yes I did. At the Gaylord Resort in Nashville the year I went and worked the WCA competition. I was spotting her in their hotel room! lol She was actually a very talented little girl.

They did. They spent the summer there the first summer we were open but then disappeared and showed up (if I remember correctly) at Carolina crossfire. I remember saying hi when we ran into each other at a competition. She never took the floor with Aviator. Don't know where they went after that.

I can't believe most of you guys don't remember this. I think I've been on the boards too long....

Literally was thinking the exact same thing.
