Gotham Girls Roller Derby
I've been all over the place recently and have not been doing a very good job of updating the old blog. I have been keeping busy though, and one of the best decisions I have made recently was to go to the Roller Derby up in the South Bronx. The match was between the Manhattan Mayhem and the Queens of Pain. I have to say, I don't know if it's the cool black uniforms or the dominatrix personas, but I really love the Queens of Pain. And I know I have a huge crush on Suzy HotRod and Rolletta Lynn. I'm just a fan boy at heart, I guess.
I tried to take some photos, but none of them came out very well. At best there are three that are ok. Here's one.

So, I will definitely go again next month. And I'm going to try to work on my action photography - maybe actually read the instructions for my camera - and see if I can't up the quality of my low-light-fast-motion photos. Perhaps Rolletta will even notice me on the sidelines and make me her pet. Or something.
wow
i totally commend your crushes. um, wow. i'm so gay for them. mistress rolletta. i'm dumbfounded. i need her to tell me what to do.
lol
Posted by: mia at June 27, 2005 02:40 PMThank you. It's true. I do not enter into these crushes lightly. I give it a lot of thought. A great deal of thought. Except of course on those occasions where it's like, "oh my god! skater girls! Gotta have one! Gotta have one!". At that point reason kinda goes out the window.
