Another older one from my little shop…

My business partner was in roller derby. Which if you’ve ever watched it, is a hell of a ride. Big personalities, with big dramatic matches and awesome fashion. I loooooved the fashion. Our shop sold all of that good stuff – we had a very rockabilly-vintage vibe there for a while.

This was her “merch” – her number and name was 88 – Hella Waits. So everyone called her Hella, from the that time on. She was, what I affectionally called her, a glamazon. Well over 6’, blonde and a personality to match. We were quiet a pair.

The front of the shirt reads “Teach your children to worship skatin’”

She wanted me to join the Vixens (the team) but I just came to sell merch at the games. Having seen a girl get thrown from the ring, and her leg snap, I was good. But I got to hang out with the team (the parties were pretty insane) and wear the fun clothes, so I enjoyed my time off skates.

We sold a LOT of fishnets and booty shorts.

Oh! And a buy that I insisted we get and sell were vampire fangs – they had just come out with the ones that molded to your teeth. We sold the hell out of those too. I still have my set. And yes, Misty and I have gotten kinky with them.
