Paris All Stars Vs. Ruhrpott | Quedalles Vs. Gent

Paris All-Stars (266-85) Ruhrpott A

May 4th, 2013 / Paris

That was one hell of a double header!

I have not had much time to write lately as I have been VERY busy in the real life, so that my report is coming a bit late and will not be as thorough as usual. But I still wanted to write a few lines about that reboosting event.

It was a sold-out double header taking place in Paris, with both our teams playing --and WINNING-- in front of the craziest and most supportive public ever. The venue was on fire as never before! MOREMOREMORE!

In addition to all the buzzing and excitment, it was our first game with our BRAND-NEW JERSEYS which we were given on D-Day! The whole league has now BLUE uniforms, the red'n blue days are over!

Paris All Stars Vs. Inglorious Bombshells

Paris RollerGirls All-Stars (197-139) Berlin Inglorious Bombshells

April 20th, 2013 / Wohnzimmer Bout II, Berlin (GER)

The scores do not reflect the game. It was harder than expected from a B-team (especially with lots of their players having their first go at bouting) and we had to fight against a strategic and organized opponent.

The game took place in the Bombshells' training venue and was private: only the people on the guestlist could come and watch. We had 200 pairs of eyes observing us, cheering Berlin. All but three little Parisian girls, supporting us with pom-poms and songs!

YES YOU CAN!

...pre-order the 2013 Calendar on the Paris RollerGirls' Website!



The project was run by High Wheels (A.D.) and Crapule (photographer, who shot our roster-faces last year) and had already met a great success for last year's edition. It was sold out in no time. Now that 2012 is over, all the shots are viewable on our facebook fanpage.

If that is not enough to convince you, check out the 2013 teasers made by Mouflette.

Hell on Wheels: Gent Cuberdonnas Vs. Paris A

Paris RollerGirls All-Stars (132-182) Gent Cuberdonnas

October 27th, 2012 / Gent (BEL)

"Trick or Treat." -- This is a subjective report on how I experienced the event. In no case what I say below should be taken as a general truth.

REMATCH

It has been two weeks and I already have the feeling that it is a faraway memory. As explained in a previous post, it was my very first bout for almost a year (11 months... dude, there is a thing going on with that number)! And it was the rematch of last year's Opération Tonnerre which happened at (almost) the same date in Paris.

LOCATION

The game took place in a remote sports hall in the suburbs of Gent, Belgium. There were not that many people in the public but the ground was perfect and some motivated French rollergirls had made the trip from Lille and Reims to support us. So that when the MC would say:

"When I say 'Go-Go' you say 'Gent': Go-Go...?"

"PARIS!! *clap-clap-clap* PARIS!! *clap-clap-clap*" 

-- I have the video to prove it!

2012 Visual Identity for the Paris RollerGirls

What better way for starting the year than unveiling the official shots of the PRG players? 30 girls, 30 personalities, 30 different stagings.

The displayed photos on the website are full length but there are complementary head shots for the rosters... be patient!

Let's not kick the habit of talking about ME, because this is my space and I say whatever I want in it! I chose to be represented reading a book about Janis* because she rocks, with my headphones around my neck because they just live there -- and for the record, with my mp3-player in my pants because my clothes were too tight and without pockets. I painted the logo of my band Akouphën on my shoulder because there's no reason why I can't proudly display my tattoos like everybody, and let kicked cones lying on the floor because I kind of broke my slalom-skating chains with success thanks to derby!

* A book that I strongly recommend by Jeanne-Martine Vacher entitled "Sur La Route de Janis"

All-Star Roster

Yeah! We all met at Pooky's to shoot our individual pictures for the roster of the bout against Bordeaux!

Aren't we badass?
