I've tried a couple of times now to write something witty and hilarious about this picture and about roller derby in general. Crazy things happen around roller derby. Momma, the one with the skull face, is known to share some of that skull face with others, hugs and affection and craziness that are the natural fall out of roller derby. I've been known to wander around with a black dot on the tip of my nose from a quick kiss.
In the end though, it's just a great picture that speaks for itself. In the red is the lovely Sauvingnon Block, a great blocker and all around cool person. Momma you will of course recognize as the lovely young lady in black, a great jammer and all around cool person.
The skull on Sauvignon's back came from Momma in a brief meeting between the two on the rink. It was a clean hit, if a bit of an accident, that sent both to the floor. Though many people may end the night with a bit of skull on them, never has it been so perfectly imprinted as in this picture.
