Pants, Derby and Zombies, Oh My!

I've been having Pants Issues lately, you may have heard. All of last years pants have long gone, being too big, and with winter coming, the summer workout carpis are not going to do it much longer, so I nipped out yesterday with DJDayZ to acquire a new pair I could wear on my Holiday, this weekend.

And I found the BEST PANTS EVER. I love these pants, no clue why, they spoke to me. (ok, not really, the drugs I am on for my Death Plague are not THAT powerful) but I really really needed these pants. Clearly. Bought 'em. That's Freaky Venus sitting on them there. (It's not possible to lay clothes out and NOT have Bengals claim them within seconds)

The only small problem with them is that they are in fact, too SMALL. They came in S, M, L and XL and even the XL in this style ain't happening. The legs are fine, but doing them up? Not near.

Yet. So now we have a goal. I say they'll fit by Xmas. If you're betting amongst yourselves, put your money on me. I will wear these PANTS. They're too stylin not to. Trust me. Pink Camo pants simply SCREAM Xmas.

Onto this weekend, I am off to Indy and Joan of Dark to watch the North Central Region Derby Tournament. Three days of Bouts, with the best teams in the region! (I did also buy pants that fit, so no worries, I won't be doing this in my undies) Very excited!

For the non-Derby folk here, I am not SKATING in this. They would, quite easily, kill me. Going to learn a lot tho, watching them. And I'm really, really proud to be able to go to this and say, yeah, I'm a skater too. Means a lot. It was only 10 months ago I saw Naptown, one of the teams who IS skating this weekend, skate in the first Bout I ever saw. There's such beauty in skating.

Speaking of beauty and first Bouts, here's the poster of OUR first Bout of the season! I can say honestly and truly, I have never felt so beautiful or had so much fun at a photo shoot in my LIFE! (My Dad saw this and asked why I wasn't wearing a helmut, had to tell him first of all I was wearing a helmut, and second, we weren't exactly SKATING there in the grass. Not sure which Zombie he thought I was, lol!) (Second from the right, if you aren't sure either)

If you look closely, you can see the Zombie Arm from Boss's yard there in the background. Photo and Poster by Kimm Schroeder.

I love this. All of it. And I think, you do too.

Love, Pants, Derby and Zombies,
