I Don't Do Nails

I missed seeing Drew Barrymore!!!

I kid, I kid. But I was suppose to go see the Roller Derby action in Mesquite this past Saturday with Temple. Clearly, it did not happen, and you can only believe how disappointed/relieved I was.

This is how it transpired. 

My last day at work and Temple emails out a friend’s birthday invite (don’t know the berfday boy) right before I was going to do my exit interview that I was already late for. Naturally I didn’t get the email, and when I went over to her desk to say my “goodbye” before I was going to bailout without looking back, she confronted me about roller derby. 

Me: What? Roller derby? Like skates and helmet? 

Temple: How do you not know what roller derby is?

Of course I know what roller derby is… who doesn’t? Well my mother probably doesn’t, but you know… 

Anywho, it just took me off guard that I was getting invited to go to roller derby. How often do you get invited to a roller derby game? Exactly… never.

So the following day, Temple texts me about roller derby. Of course I’m on the fence. She finally convinced me offering to pay my cover and 50% ownership of a 12-pack. Done. I’m there… (Note to self - Temple’s bribes are pretty damn good… I should decline/be on the fence with attending events and functions with her)

As I’m getting all beautiful and putting on my face to go out, Temple calls me to let me know the deets. Deets are that they were SOLD OUT!!!

Me: SOLD OUT?!

Temple: I know right… who the hell in Dallas watches roller derby? Who knew it was popular?

Me: HAHA! You just made me spit Coke (the soda) all over the place. (It was only funny because of the tone that Temple delivered the lines. The semi-pretentious/”I’m over it” tone)

Seriously? First I was shocked to find out that roller derby existed in DFW, and now it’s sold out? WTF?!

I was hoping I get to take a couple of photos and show the world on my blog. Yeah… 86 that idea. LAME!

The kicker of the story is that the roller derby representative that spoke with Temple was named Trigger Mortis… who knew they did drag shows too. HAHA.

Drag Queens in Space… really?

The first episode was epic, and then we get the second. It was okay… 

Anywho, so first the mini-challenge was kinda odd. The lady boys had to pair up, stand separated by a wall, and one of them had to guess what the other was wearing. Apparently it was all the same thing (wig, boa, and stuffed kitty), but they were guessing the colors. Lame.

The main challenged divided the queens in two groups. The groups were picked by two team captains who were the winners of the mini-challenge. They had to do a space themed skit. It was equipped with the villain named Boobarella, a lackluster hero, galactic versions of twiddle dee and twiddle dum, and a monkey that possibly spoke elfish. 

I know they have to group up every season and perform some sort of skit, but it was not as good as last year’s Southern themed one. 

But the Untucked episode was cray-cray!!! Queens behind closed doors is drama waiting to happen.
