Even before Thailand”s World Champion Cheerleading team does their first pyramid, people know who they are by their uniforms. The story of the woman who makes their uniforms is just as interesting as the team”s story. Auntie Sao graduated from 3rd grade and never thought her life would amount to anything interesting. She lived in a single rented room with a sewing machine on one side and a sleeping mat on the other. At the same time Toey, Bangkok University”s coach, was looking for someone who could turn his uniform idea into designs the team could wear. He went from tailor to tailor, but nobody
was able to make something that was both nice to look at and to stand up to the wear and tear that cheerleaders subject their uniforms to.
