Who's Next: Snow (Hey Ho!)

The winter 2013 Who's Next fashion and ready-to-wear show was held on the occasion of the Parisian Fashion Week, at Porte de Versailles, just like this summer.
For a thorougher description...



The Winter version of Who's Next was indoors only, contrary to the Summer version where we were treated with bales of straw... which was +1 for the summer atmosphere but -10 for the slipperiness!
This time, snow was covering the whole city outside, while a strong tropical climat hung heavy inside thanks to the heating and the spotlights. Those same carpeted grounds with conceiled sewer drains underneath would make us trip at random, but hey ho! We knew what to expect!

Paris RollerGirls Winter Workshops

Future Freshmeats, this is the second (and last!) chance of the season for entering the Paris RollerGirls! We are organizing a Winter Session made of two Workshops and followed by an Entrance Test.

It will follow the same pattern as the Summer Session (which is fully explained in THIS ARTICLE). The principle is also described on the flyer here (click to enlarge):



The workshops are meant to explain the different skills that will be needed to pass the entrance test. The content of both workshops will be identical, browsing all the basic individual skills: falling, stopping, crossing, jumping.
The workshops will start with a short hour of Derby Rules run by our Refs, and the three hours of skating run by our Coaches will be preceded by an off-skates warm-up.

These workshops are not compulsory but are a good review to avoid surprises on the Entrance Test day, and are a good opportunity to meet some of the main protagonists of the league and to get an idea of the overall atmosphere.
