And don't miss our 3rd bout...


We will sell out, so get your ticket as soon as possible, it will be fantastic, amazing with some cream on top...

The crazy Carnevils, that just got defeted by the Pistols are going against my rocking, blazing orange team... the Camaro Harem, and the naughty reformschool girls of the Pink Pistols are going to try to beat some lovley Hula Honey ass... A couple of the earlier injured Hulas will hopefully be able to make it back on track (no pun intended) to show that they can do more than just hula dance...

So sometimes a rollergirl gotta work...

Even if I'm a mighty rollergirl and quite obsessed with roller derby, it doesn't pay the bills. Being a unicorn hunting amazon viking from the North doesn't pay the bills either, so I acctually have a dayjob, or rather a morning job. I make people coffee, I am a lovley barista at one of the nicest coffee places in Seattle.
Fuel is a fantastic place to work at, and the owner is really kickass, she has managed to open a really nice coffee place at three locations. If I get to pick my favorite location it would be the one in Wallingford, it's mellow and busy at the same time, and less kids than in the one at Montlake.

I work mornings so I have time to squeeze in as much rolling as possible in the nights and days... You should come in and taste coffee that is made by people and not by mashines like a couple of big chains around... and don't forget to tip the barista, because this one need some money to support her roller addiction...

I went to California and I forgot to put flowers in my hair...


I went to Venice to see my mother and an old friend of mine, and guess what... I brought my skates... It was sunny and I skated along the beach, while the others biked... I got a tan and a sore ass, it is quite different not to skate on the track and always turning left. Now I could just go all out, my outdoor wheels are quite a work-out...

So our second bout came and went...


So our second bout ended up as a sucess, we raised a whole bunch of money for the March of Dimes, the Pistols kicked some Carnie ass and Harem took the win from the utterly exhausted Hulas.

I got to do my first bouting jams, and it was scary, very scary but also fun. I have much more to learn, but it felt that it was a good beginning. So in our next bout, I am up for some serious ass kicking...

Merby is not the new derby...

This past Saturday I ventured down to Tacoma to watch the first all male roller derby tournament, and no, it's not as fun as roller derby. There were dirtier play, some amazing hits and some whiney but quite entertaining boys. Best bout was the Dallas
I had a great time, but still the afterparty wast the best part of it... I was really impressed and proud of my coach Cory Pain, and some of the Dallas Deception boys had amazing skating skills... The Guiness at the afterparty was AMAZING and Suzie 9mm corsette and cleavage was quite entertaining.
I did straddle the Gym Class Hero guy for a bit... I think I might have scared him, but I tend to scare most people a whole lot. Must be the cute face of mine... not the dirty mouth at all... MOHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
