Sunday Night Roller Derby

When Paul invited me out for some late night roller derby, I said yes. Who can't resist roller skating babes in short pants and fishnets? It was the New Jersey Dirty Dames vs River City Rollergirls and believe it or not we were rooting for River City. They hail from Richmond, Virginia and put on a good bout, the ladies should be proud (even though the final score was not in their favor).

Some of my favorite roller girl names: Maliciously Delicious, Don't Care Bear, Jheri Kill,
Sue-age Spill

Behind Paul you can see a home made roller skate wheel sign. I love roller skating rinks and if I had time I would travel across country with my 4x5 photographing these relics before they go away like they did here in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and the Bronx (I don't know about Queens or Staten Island...I can only guess that Long Island has some rinks, it's a bit more sprawling there).
