When you're feeling low, nothing can bring you up again like the bad-natured, trash talking, throwing each other into walls, Derby Dolls. I went to my first roller-derby last night, and I'm a changed woman. It was awesome! The arena was like a warehouse where you can get beer in cans and scream bloody murder for your chosen team. As the girls hip-bump each other into walls and fall and trip, the crowds "Ohh" and "Ahhh" in excitement and dismay. The whole thing has an awesome atmosphere with lots of smiles and a friendly competition between the opposing fans. There was even a wave and the whole thing is just really exciting. Not to mention, the awesome skating abilites shown by all the skaters, my fav, Mila Minute, who was the star of the show. She whipped around the rink at speeds that would have your mind spinning, racking up points nonstop.
Anyway, the outfits are crazy cool, with fishnet stockings and skirts so short, bloomers were required. The game I saw last night was the "Fight Crew" (flight attendents) vs "The Sirens" (naughty cops). Names for FC included "Crystal Deth", "Judy Gloom", and "Janis Choplin". Sirens included, "Scarlett Yohandsoff", "Paris Killton", and "Amber Alert!". HA! Love it.
Also in the crowd enjoying the organized mayham was Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz! And then there was some Hollywood producer named Roger Assaultrey, who was the star of the show with his quick whip of a whistle.
Well, that was good fun and I have definitley found my monthly Saturday night activity.
