Thanks to everyone who supported my fundraiser! I can’t wait to try these bad boys out on the track. Apologies for the crappy video quality and hissy audio. All I had with me was my point and shoot.

Help me become a Derby Doll!
I won’t give you the whole sob story but Yuri and I have been dealing with a bunch of personal and family issues lately that have necessitated a lot of travel and time off work. We’re broke. And dammit, I want to be a roller derby girl! I went to my first practice yesterday with the LA Derby Dolls and I kicked ass! So I need some help paying for gear. The skates alone can cost up to $500, not to mention the knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards and helmet.
So I’m reaching out to you, my lovely friends to pitch in and help me tear it up on the Derby track. I know I can kick those girls’ asses. But I need your help.
We have one week to raise $400 (I’m gonna try to get used gear)! I know we can do it! Come on, it will be worth it just to see me in uniform… No?
UPDATE: Wow, the show of support has been amazing! I think I only need like $40 more to reach my target! FYI: those of you donating by means other than paypal, your donations haven’t been counted yet but I do see them. So thanks to everyone!
UDPATE (May 8): Wow! Thanks everyone! In just over 48 hours, I surpassed my goal and have raised $458! Thanks, mostly, to Twitter. You are all amazing. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the support. It’s just a little thing (a pair of skates) but your support means a lot to me. Hooray, internet!
