I like big butts
And I cannot lie. Truth is my butt is pretty big and that works in my favor in roller derby. And I'm not the only one who feels that way. Cindy Lop-her of Charm City Roller Girls, devotes a site called Big Derby Girls Don't Cry, "dedicated to challenge the misconceptions of women and size."
Despite the fact that it's hysterical, the blog celebrates the women who you might look at and think she couldn't run a block for a doughnut, but are, in fact, athletes. Among many topics of discussion is the Campaign for Real Booty, a weekly feature on sweet woman butts.
What's really frickin cool is that Ruth of All Evil, one of MRD's lovely rollergirls nominated my booty for the campaign! You can read all about it at Cindy's blog.
Warning: do not go to the page if you can't handle looking at butts, reading naughty words or are any sort of God-fearing individual.
Pog Mo Thoin, baby!

Recruitment Day - June 24
If you have ever even amused yourself with the idea of joining derby or are interested in reffing or the game in general, you need to come to our recruitment day.
We're going to scrimmage with our best players to show you how the game is played, conduct a Q & A session, and then host an open skate.
We are hoping to recruit a couple refs, statisticians and as many girls as possible for our upcoming Fall season and to clear up any misconceptions about the sport and/or the league. The fall season will be Sep 8, Sep 22, and Oct 6 at the Portland Expo.
MRD Recruitment Day is June 24
5:30-7 pm
Happy Wheels on Warren Avenue in Portland.
Be there.
