Roller derby!!

topic posted Thu, June 15, 2006 - 2:18 PM by  Kari
Just found this tribe which is so very timely. My troupe, Mizmar Madness, was the half time entertainment at the roller derby last Saturday night. It was such a blast! The Pikes Peak Derby Dames were amazing. There was much mutual respect between our two groups. I hope we are invited to dance for them again. Would do it in a second.

The best part - discovering that a woman I used to dance with (but hadn't seen in nearly a year) is now a roller derby chick! She is a member of the Candy Snipers and goes by the derby name Yuk Foo.

      Cool! Did the arena there play kicka$$ music? The one here did. We were dancing most of the night. Oh yes, there was much costume admiration between us and the Dames. We may steal some of their ideas, although tribal in school girl skirts and stripey socks might be a bit...odd. ;-)

      That is so awesome.

      Liquid Hips is doing a dual fundraiser with the High Seas Hotties of the Dallas Derby Devils and also performing at a few of there bouts.

      I think that it is so awesome that they are so welcoming to this... and I can't wait the Fundraiser is going to be Kick A@@

        You know, if we make a concerted effort to bring together the roller derby and bellydance communities, we *will* take over the world. <cue the maniacal laughter>

            UNMATA is doing the half time show for the Scared City Rollers game tomorrow night in Sac! Who knew bellydance and roller derby went together so well?

              Have a fab time, Sarah! They are going to love UNMATA!

              I still think that, if bellydancers and derby chicks join forces, we'd be unstoppable!!
