Roller Derby Much?

Just call me Blonde Bomb Hell! I've thought long and hard about this and I want to at least pretend to be one of the rock star ladies of The Lowcountry Highrollers! It literally took me two secs to come up with my roller derby name!

I'm so in it to win it!

I got a true taste of this life a couple of weeks ago when I had the honor of blowing a blinged-out whistle made by Lowcountry Highroller, Lori Gillie O'Tene Esteves, to start the 'jam' for a heated double header at the North Charleston Convention Center. 

These Derby Dolls (as I call them) are nothing to mess with. They push, hit, take hard falls and keep on rolling! Who doesn't want to do that? 

I by no means understand the rules of this sport but when I see Green-Eyed Sniper busting through packs of hips and elbows, I am easily cheering along with the other fans! At the same time I'm self-evaluating... how tough am I really? The answer is still up in the air, but what I can confirm is that after a long stressful week, a little rough-and-tough love seems a bit therapeutic!

Also I'm quite obsessed with Roller Derby jersey names! Check out these no-nonsense alter egos that the ladies have come up with. 

My sheros!
