Yes it's real and I love Ann Calvello

Ann Calvello was a derby queen and was punk rock before it was trendy and cool to be punk rock... and Joan Weston was like scary mean... kickin ass! Yeah, okay, so they trained to know what to do and how to hit and how to fall and maybe how to be showy -come'on, they were on TV and look at the crowds! They played to their characterizations and personalities...

How do we get people back into roller derby like that? Where all the leagues will sell out all the venues for every game and suddenly we'll all have lots of sponsors and plenty of practice space and time....don't we all want to be full time rollergirls? Okay, as I said on facebook today when I proposed a SW Ontario convoy to GMDD Skills Clinic in November, with skating at every pit stop and a mass border crossing of rollergirls... I dream big sometimes.

Ok, about Ann, I know it's been a long time since we lost her, but you know sometimes I troll around youtube and old news posts and I couldn't resist sharing one I am sure you've all seen before....

Note, although I am a rollergirl, I could go for a fru fru roller dance gig anytime too LMAO
