There's something so very wonderful about entering a women's roller derby arena and hearing a lady call out your name before throwing her arms around you. That's exactly what happened on Saturday. Saturday night I decided to take a side trip and see The Crescent Wenches of New Orleans take on The Red Stick Rollergirls in Baton Rouge. I had been in regular email contact with one Violet Reaction with regards to ticket availability and of course, merchandise. She always responded quickly and warmly. Despite a killer derby name that might indicate otherwise, she could not have been sweeter. In my last email to her I said to look out for the guy wearing a Gotham Girls Roller Derby (NYC) t-shirt. She did and her greeting made my night.
I developed a wee crush on a young woman whose derby name was Maggot. She was a sassy, self-empowered, bad-girl type who was probably half my age... perfect!
Cool names from amongst the evenings participants: Deb U Taunt, my personal favorite MILF Duds (38DD... best number ever!!!), Dee Zasta, Krewe Ella, and Tank Goodness. Women are awesome!!!
