The day I realised I was truly a Rollergirl!!

While cruising through the LRG Myspace page, there appeared a photo of two really tough looking Rollergirls in mid-block. The jammer on the right looked particularly scary, with her teeth bared and body pushing through to pass the pivot. I immediately thought it must have been a pic of one of the American teams, as I didn’t recognise either girl. I was thinking “Geez these girls look tough! I wouldn’t want to come across either of them in a bout!! they look so….so….well….SO DAMN TOUGH!”
Then I recognised something on the jammer’s upper arm…..a Hello Kitty tattoo……and it slowly dawned on me……IT WAS ME!! AUGH!!!

At first I was mortified to realise that apparently when I am scrimmaging, I am not my usual off-skate sweetness and light, but I am in fact a mean machine!! But then I realised that this was actually a very momentous occasion - it meant I was officially a bona fide RollerGirl!! I must be - I look like one!!! (I have since sent the link to everyone I know, including my nanna, so they too can rejoice in my transformation from cute lil’ ole’ me to Derby Menace.)

So for anyone who is reading this that has looked at photos of derby, and thought “There’s no way I could be like them;” the lesson today kids, is that if I can…..YOU CAN!!

I would also like to thank the wonderful LRG ladies for creating the monster that is Kitty DeCapitate!!

MIAOW!!

Hi Ms DeCapitate.

ThankYou very much for writing such an entertaining post, and for showing us the photos. The determination shows on Your face in the action shot, and ’sweetness’ shines from Your off-track smile. You’re a truly funky Cat.

Much respect and admiration to You.
