Lights, Limos, Action: Little Girls’ Night Out
Streaks and curls of holiday lights reflect off the tinted windows of a hot pink stretch limo as it winds its way through the suburban streets of Bethel Park. Inside the limo, the mirrored ceiling bounces neon lights onto a group of young girls singing (shouting?) in unison, a group of girls who a mere hour and a half ago were wary strangers. Their freshly painted sparkly nails cut and wave brazen zig-zags through the air as they launch into Taylor Swift, Meghan Trainor, and "Frozen" songs in unison. View The Gallery >

Steelers vs. Dolphins: Dec. 31, 1972
When the Pittsburgh Steelers and Miami Dolphins met for the first time in the NFL playoffs in 1972, the Steelers were just starting to realize their potential as an NFL powerhouse. The Dolphins, however, were closing in on perhaps the greatest season of all time.
Their meeting to decide the AFC champion on Dec. 31, 1972, at Three Rivers Stadium ended with a battered and bruised Terry Bradshaw, and a 21-17 win for the Dolphins.
Miami would go on to defeat the Washington Redskins in Super Bowl VII to put an exclamation mark on the one and only perfect season in NFL history. View The Gallery >
Steelers vs. Dolphins: Dec. 30, 1979
The Steelers started a successful defense of their Super Bowl XIII title with a 34-14 win over the Miami Dolphins in the AFC Divisional Playoff on Dec. 30, 1979. It was only the second time the teams had met in the postseason.
Pittsburgh jumped out to a 20-0 lead in the first quarter and never looked back. Sidney Thornton, John Stallworth and Lynn Swann recorded the early touchdowns. Rocky Bleier and Franco Harris finished off the Dolphins with scoring romps in the second half.
The win propelled the Steelers into the AFC Championship Game, where they downed Houston. It culminated with their fourth trophy after a 31-19 win over the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl XIV. View The Gallery >
