Roller Derby

Another long-time dream of mine became a reality last weekend when I got to go to the

ROLLER DERBY!!

woohoo!

I have wanted to go for a while - like years, so I'm so excited it happened. Who knew that little old Spanish Fork had a roller derby?

The best part is that it takes place in an abandoned Food 4 Less building by the freeway.

So perfect.

Jordan, her BF David and I went. It was such a great time.

The officials do a uniform check before the 'bout' starts.

I think it's to check for weapons.

We didn't really know the rules, but figured it out with the help of our smart phones and the officials arm signals that were drawn out on posters on the wall.

It was such a great time.

Okay, this lady probably was my very favorite part of the night. She came in with no shoes. Her left foot was completely bare and she had a pink ankle sock on her right. There were so many holes in her cowboy hat, I don't know how it stayed on her head. I think her daughter was one of the derby girls and she was so supportive - with posters and loud cheers of encouragement. She was so awesome.

I think this guy was their mascot.

A zombie? Why not.

Their penalty box is called the Sin Bin.

So great.

She was my favorite derby girl. She  was super tough and got the job done. She wore leather briefs with what I can only guess was orange lacy panties underneath. 

So classy.

She smelled so completely awful after the bout. Whew! She clearly played her hardest. I didn't really invite her to put her arm around me, but I guess it's okay that she did.

When we got back to my house, we watched Whip It which is a great roller derby movie.

After it was over and Jordan and David left, I was looking for my sewing kit because I had to make felt flowers before church the next morning. I couldn't find it for the life of me and was getting pretty frustrated. I came across an old wallet. Curious what my life was like when I used that wallet, I looked through the cards and papers that were left in it.

I pulled out a movie ticket and guess what movie it was from?!?!

Totally serious. Crazy, huh? Of all the 100's (1,000's?) of movies I have seen, it is so cool that I found that ticket stub that night.
