Kansas City Roller Warriors win 2007 WFTDA National Champoinship

Underdog KCRW All Stars narrowly defeat the heavily favored Rat City Rollergirls 89-85. The whole tournament was full of upsets. Day one saw both Gotham and Tuscon defeated then Texas Rollergirls easily blew away Windy City while Rat City made people sitting near me ask how Detroit made it this far.

First bout of today Texas Rollergirls lost to Rat City then went on to easily shut down Carolina for third place and now RAT CITY lost to KANSAS CITY! No one was expecting this! Congratulations to the awesome skaters from Kansas City for shaking things up in Austin.

Roller derby Diva vintage style t-shirt and postcard

Today's Best September 7, 2007
This is my favorite design so far. I was working on something else (which I still haven't finished) and couldn't get this one out of my head. I had some invitations made with it and they were even more beautiful than I expected. I think I might start working on some other vintage style designs because I really like them and I think they go well with the whole roller derby pin up theme. I also made stickers, a button and a mousepad with this design.
