Oooh I like the idea of it being like an Iron Man suit and it's so nice to hear how much your confidence has grown since playing derby. This is why everyone should play ;) <br /><br />xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04497757713749752185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7053225162615077088.post-65324064546958969672013-10-05T23:32:44.532+01:002013-10-05T23:32:44.532+01:00Sorry, when I bout* oops!Sorry, when I bout* oops!Amii ScarletPouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03669861401205426706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7053225162615077088.post-38120271341203248302013-10-05T23:32:20.840+01:002013-10-05T23:32:20.840+01:00Emma I seriously LOVE this post.

You've just summed everything up perfectly!<br /><br />When I first started derby, I was shy, had zero self confidence, and wore thick black leggings, long black shorts and a plain black t-shirt. I've changed so much since and now train in my trademark ripped tights (you know yourself, tights don't last long around kneepads!) and comfy sports shorts...but when I bought my legs are out for all to see! (and my arse if i don't watch my booty shorts).<br /><br />I think it's brilliant to have something to escape to - an alter ego to don and pretend you're someone else. I'll even go as far as to say I love being Strawberry Switchblade, smearing on warpaint and squeezing into tiny shorts. It's only objectification if you let it become that - for me it's a confidence boost, and almost like slipping into the Iron Man suit...on wheels ;)<br /><br />Excellent post sweets xxxAmii ScarletPouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03669861401205426706noreply@blogger.com
