Las Vegas Roller Derby
Anyone who knows me knows I’m constantly complaining about the lack of culture in Las Vegas. Every “community event” that I’ve gone to has been so sadly thrown together that I never go again. Even the long standing community event First Friday has lost all of its luster for me. I’d rather stay home and watch a movie than maneuver my way through all the hipsters to get to the two artists that I like.
A few months ago, a savior in the form of an awesome community event appeared: The Fabulous Sin City Roller Derby. Now this is the point where I should tell you what year it first started, how far they’ve come, et cetera… but I’m not going to do that. As far as I’m concerned they didn’t exist before I found them. They materialized out of a fog, because if they hadn’t, it would kill the magic.
Las Vegas Shopping For Voluptuous Ladies
Image is everything in Sin City. All the pretty girls get into the club; all the handsome guys get the pretty girls. It gets difficult to live here when you are overweight and it’s 114 degrees outside.
I am personally in the in-between zone when it comes to weight. I’m either the fat girl at Express or the skinny bitch at Lane Bryant. It’s uncomfortable, especially when dealing with, shall we say, “helpful” employees. They look at you with immense pity, because you Don’t. Fit. Into. Anything. It makes shopping for my size even harder than it actually is.
When I heard through a friend that there is a new store touting itself as the only plus size fashion boutique in Las Vegas I was excited to see it. Boutiques, as it was explained to me, work like this: they get in three of each size per item. When they are sold they never sell that item again. If I lived in a small town I suppose this would be an amazing bonus. As it is, I don’t think I would ever worry about something like running into someone with the same top as me. I guess I’m just not the average girl.
Guest Column: Nick the Cabbie – “Pink and Purple”
The two girls in the back seat are dressed almost identically with short little skirts and hats…except one of them is predominantly purple and the other is the Sheriff of Pinktown. And, in case you weren’t aware, things are not okay in Pinktown. There must have been a jailbreak or something, but I think she’d be crying if her Deputy had been killed. Maybe it’s only cattle rustlers…or maybe she’s cold and heartless. It’s difficult to tell sometimes. (They don’t give me enough information to work with so I’m purely speculating, of course. I’m sure you understand.)
