Derby daydream #563

I wish I could produce affordable clothing that actually fit a muscular/busty derby girl's body. Small-waist pants with plenty of room in the thighs and seat. Compression shorts that stay where they should and don't produce an awkward muffin top effect. Long shirts with a narrow waist and room for busts and shoulders. Sports bras that can hold their own while looking fabulous for the bustiest of ladies.

I don't want to produce just practice apparel, either. I want the full line-up. Athletic. Casual. Professional. Formal wear. Maternity. Petite. Tall. Plus. Trendy. Classical. Bold colors. Subdued effects. Laces and ruffles. Straight lines and simple curves.

Disney World


This guy just makes me smile. (Those who are lucky enough to have met Wheels McCoy would probably smile too.)

Just got back from a work conference in Orlando on Wednesday. Delicate Hubby and I were able to go down a few days early and hit 3 of the 4 parks in Disney World. Animal Kingdom rocks, Epcot rocks and Magic Kingdom included WAAAY too many people in not enough space. I'll take waiting for the rhinos to move out of the road over cranky families, thank you very much!


This zebra was dubbed Lizy.


And here's Donny zebra.


I couldn't keep SCAR derby off my mind when Disney persisted in putting Magic all over everything!

Most people go to Disney World and see made-up characters represented by "crew members" in various costumes. I see characters from my real life represented in the art work for sale.


Next week is due to be super busy at work, home and derby. I'll let you know if I survive. Possibly even within the next three months.
