Wanna Cookie?

On Saturday night Pirate City Rollers put on an exhibition bout off the back of the release of "Whip It" a few weeks back. We split up our usual teams and played as the teams in the movie. "The Holy Rollers" and "The Hurl Scouts". I had the honor of skating as a Hurl Scout- so needed to put together an outfit suitable.

I actually had a bit of trouble finding the right dress. I already had one that I thought I could use- but it was ever so slightly too brown. I even tried to dye it- and did such a good job that the white label on the inside didn't even change colour. Back to the drawing board...




I eventually found this outfit at the Military Disposal's store on K Rd. It is an army shirt that was then modified to turn a tent sized shirt into a girl scout looking dress.

All I needed to do after that was to get my name and number on the back- and match it with some yellow socks and fishnets. My derby compadre Ruby Disaster even made me a cute little yellow necktie.




I really enjoy our exhibition bouts. It's cool playing with people that you don't normally skate in a team with- and I must say that I do really enjoy putting together themed outfits for our uniforms too. It's also really cool seeing what other people do for their own outfits. Here is a shot of my whole team right before we skated out. (apart from "Lucy In Disguise" who was running a little late...)

Miss Metalitia, Scheisse Minelli, Wolverina, Medicator, Terror Satanna, Broken Sience, Cupcake Carnage.
In front- Me (Spar Kill) Li'l Miss Envy and Ruby Disaster


The game itself was awesome if not a little one sided. The final score was 222-46 to the Hurl Scouts. I personally skated better than my previous few games- and even managed to stay out the penalty box until the latter part of the second half! Not bad for the holder of the 2009 Dirtiest Pirate award...

PCR meets Hello Kitty!

Best P.O.F in AGES!

(By the way- for the uninitiated P.O.F stands for Point Of fashion...)

Today's outfit inspiration came about as a few ladies in my Roller Derby league were asked to do an audition for a television commercial. On roller skates of course. This necessitated wearing something that was easy to move in- and it seemed right to colour theme it to our league colours while I was at it.



I opted for a halter neck singlet in red and black stripes with a buckle detail on the front. I'd actually forgotten I owned this singlet so was pleasantly surprised when I rediscovered it in the Wardroom this week. This was teamed with denim mini and black leggings.




The best part of my entire outfit definitely has to be my new PCR coloured Hello Kitty trainers!




Nuff said.
