I have been part of the Sun State Roller Girls Roller Derby League for the past two months and I have to say it has been an absolute blast. The thing that is so great is that we come from all walks of life but are all joined together by our love of the sport.

Just last month we had our first bout for the season in Brisbane at the Beenleigh Sports Arena. Here are some pics of the girls in action.

Well it has been a while since I blogged but it is because I have been such a busy little bee.

I have finally bitten the bullet and become an official derby girl. I have joined the Brisbane Derby league, Sun State Roller Girls who I must say are a bunch of super friendly kickass ladies.

With this has been the purchase of my new much loved Riedell R3 skates which feel like skating on air compared to the crappy hire skates I was using.

My hubby Jaimie has also made a start on his two pin-up girl sleeves. The idea behind it is that each arm represents his conscious. The left is his good boy thoughts telling him not to be naughty, stay at home and be a good hubby and the right will be his naughty side which of course will be a bad girl sitting on a bobber. This is his left so far, he thinks he will have a kitchen added in the back in the long run.

Those of you old enough to remember way back when will remember roller derby. They were mean girls that would bash each other up as they charged around in roller skates.

I have to admit that derby is becoming a new fascination for me. Sexy chicks slamming into each other sounds like top fun. I am at the moment deciding whether to keep going with hockey next year or take up derby so you may have figured out I am a girl that likes it rough

Up here is Brisvegas it has a strong underground following through the whole rockabilly/psychobilly scene. So much so that there is actually a documentary coming out on the girls. I can’t wait Here is a sneek peek of Derby Dolls
