On the Bus - Pink Frames

 Gorgeous!

SCORE!

I had borrowed this scrumptious silver crinoline from Melinda at The Sentimentalist last year to wear to the Fanshawe Fashion show - unfortunately, it had been designated as a rental, and I couldn't keep it.  There is something about being able to take up a whole lot of space with its awesome sparkly swishy-ness that makes me positively giddy with glee.  I was finally able to purchase it from her, and now it's mine, all mine!!  For now, it's on my bedroom wall so I can bask in its shiny splendour. 

Forest City Derby Girls Get Rollin' in 2012

This past Saturday was the first home game of the Forest City Derby Girls 2012 season.  It was a double header, with London's Lunch Ladies facing off against Violet Uprising, from Guelph, and the Thames Fatales against Guelph's Brute-Leggers.  London came out on top in both matches so it was a great night for players and fans.   Below are some photos of things that caught my eye during the evening:

Black and white pattern mixing and a funky haircut

and speaking of patterns - red & black leopard!

More red - this woman's flaming locks stood out in the crowd

Best fan outfit AND the best Mohawk I've ever seen.  His dad, who is a kick-ass roller skater, did the hair.

I was seriously lusting after these fab green motorcycle boots worn by a woman sitting near me. They are Fluevogs, sigh....

Part of the fun of going to a Roller Derby game is putting together the outfit.  This was what I ended up with - you've seen the dress and the sox before; the leather corset belt came from Northbound Leather in Toronto several years ago, and sadly, it doesn't go out much.
