Derbyversaire 2 "Freaky Derby Day"

Yesterday -- Sunday, March 4th was the official celebration day for the second derbyversaire of the Paris RollerGirls. This year because of the lack of sports facilities for skaters in Paris, the PRG couldn't take the risk to organize a bootcamp. However, an event was organized on the fly when we learnt a couple of weeks ago that we could book the hall where we usually play our games in Paris.

The actual derbyversary date of the Paris RollerGirls is on the 14th of February... Saint Valentine day. No use to wonder why Paris Brings the Passion: it was Cupid's birthday gift!

Oh My GOSH !!

A couple of months ago, Sailor Blood came across a badass blog with badass illustrations wrapped up with badass humor. I won't bother you with all the details because this is a long story about a google search, smurfs and latex -- Yeah... long AND freaky!

Anyway, she cliks on the link to the website, browses a bit and *WhamBam* she discovers an illustration of a super-stylish rollergirl. She can't help but contacting him and inviting him to a bout. As the guy does photography too, he asks if he can take pictures of a game some time.

Exciting, hu? Even more when she discovers the story of their mail exchange two days later on the blog, with an awesome fake cover of a skating magazine staging a roller-derby bout.

You're wanting a name don't you?

He is called GOSH and he's pegging away on

The Gosh World.

We all met him yesterday at practice, at last! The encounter is related through his first set of pictures of us on his photography blog, under the title "Hey Ladies... First Try"
