Whipped

We saw Drew Barrymore's debut as a director film "Whip It" this weekend.

I have to say I am not of fan of her acting work but this film is very good. Its not heady, its not provocative, its light, its comedic, its feel good, it turn punkism into dandyism, its a fairly good film, realy. Plus Juliette Lewis is in the film and you know how much we love her...

I had no idea that women's roller derby was back in vogue. The local team was in the audience complete with fishnets and schoolgirl plaid mini skirts. Its really back, over 400 teams all over the country, its huge.

We spent the night writing down women's roller derby athletes names. They all have quasi-punk names. I came up with an extensive list. A few are - "Gert Rude", "Paris Killton", "Bitchetta", "Barbrawl." You get the idea.
