A few weeks ago, I attended a roller derby bout in Richmond between a team from their league, the awesomely named Poe's Punishers, and the DC All-Star Team.
It was fun seeing a bout that was not on home turf. But what was even better was their half-time show. Can you guess what Richmond roller derby games have that DC games don't?
That's right.
Drag queen cheerleaders. Dancing to Lady GaGa's "Bad Romance". As my friend Aimee put it, "Every time a drag queen dances to Lady GaGa, a fairy is born."
I don't get it. Why doesn't DC have drag queen cheerleaders? We have plenty of drag queens. Can they not get all dolled up and show some hometown spirit? Seriously. We need to fix this. Seriously.
The half-time show also had girls with hula hoops. Also an improvement on DC roller derby's half-time shows.
Sorry DC roller derby, you fail at half-time shows. We need some drag queens and hot chicks dancing with hula hoops!
OK, DC roller derby doesn't entirely fail though, since they did win the bout by a huge margin. Go DC Rollergirls! Just get some drag queens and I'll love you forever!

Oh Lindsey, it's when you lose focus on the game and start obsessing w/half time shows that you lose - has that other team taught you nothing?
"We have plenty of drag queens. Can they not get all dolled up and show some hometown spirit?"
