In UK roller derby it's just not a thing. 

And frankly you find it quite annoying that people seem to think that you wear tu tu's, fishnets and other fancy dress outfits, when all you wear is leggings and a team top.

Sport should be about comfort and safety, not the enjoyment of fans who clearly aren't there to enjoy the right things anyway.

I love music, especially the North-East local music scene. My obsession of unicorns is getting too much, my collection is growing out of control. I like animals so I don't eat them. Lover of all things vintage and ugly. Oh and i'm one of those ginger people. Twitter/Instagram @beccaBLC
