OK so I’m a delinquent blogger, this is not news. What is news is why I’ve been delinquent this time. What happens when you combine and economic recession, a housebound graphically inclined SAHD, a new Roller Derby obsessed working Mom, and the Internet? SKULLS+RAINBOWS ! That’s what.

In an effort to stave off the hard economic times SugarMomma and I decided to get active, and start a business (well, another business to be exact). In the belief that you can start something from nothing but an idea, that’s just what we did! We have started a Roller Derby Inspired Apparel and Accesory line. We scraped up enough money to make…a sticker. A sticker with our new logo on it, in hopes that we could generate some buzz and a little money to make our first T-Shirt, and then the second…… But you don’t have to be Roller Derby fans to love it, because it’s just so damn cool. (was that too much?)

Roller Derby has changed my life, it has given my wife something amazing, a new community, a new confidence, new motivation, new style. She actually went out and bought fisnets and short shorts! I’m telling you it’s all good. The sense of empowerment, the physical activity, the style, it’s amazing. As a father of two young girls I’m really excited to have my wife so charged up. ThingOne is now saving her money to buy her own roller skates, so she can be just like her mom.

Cruise on over to the website or to our Facebook Page and check it out, leave a comment, tell us what you think.  Just like the old Faberge commercial, I’m hoping that you’ll tell two friends, and they’ll tell two friends, and so on and so on…….and if you don’t mind, click the “Like button while you’re there, that is, if you like it. Oh, and the first 5 people to leave a comment here get free stickers!

If you’re using Internet Explorer and things looks sketchy on the website, I’m sorry, I’m working on that. I would love to know what you think of it all, I’d also love to know if the resurgence Roller Derby has touched any of your lives as well.

PEACE! BBD
