Roller Disco?
Mar 9, 2010
Ok, picture this: Thibault and I are in a local student pub drinking cider with his friends on a Friday night. It's relatively loud, making Thibault's accent even more difficult to understand than usual. Ha.
Thibault: Do you like roller?
Alana: Huh?
Thibault: You know, roller. Like the shoes and the wheels?
Alana: Ooooh, roller skating! Um I haven't done it since I was really little but, I guess so...
Well, apparently I'm going with him to a "roller disco" on Thursday night. Hopefully I won't fall flat on my face. I really think the last time I went roller skating was at an 8-year-old friend's birthday party...or maybe a bat mitzvah. Either way, it was probably close to ten years ago.
I should probably warn Thibault that he's going to lose feeling in his fingers by the end of the night- I squeeze tight when I get scared.
Now, the only thing left to figure out: what the heck does one wear to a roller disco? (I'm thinking something bright, like the neon hue of the boots I spotted above.)

How 'bout knee and elbow pads and a good helmet?
He he, sounds like fun. Same for me, I thik the last time was more than 10 years ago...
This reminded me of Rollergirl, she was really big in Germany when I was little, mid 90's or so:

And she's wearing neon :)))
Neon is quite good in deed :) and don't worry about falling, I used to teach my little cousin how to roller skate on a slippery downhill road. We will be just fine ;)
I suggest not a skirt or dress in case you fall. Jeggings and a fun, flowy top?
But mostly, make sure you wear socks. And tall-ish ones so you don't wind up with blisters on the backsides of your ankles (upper heels?).
I believe Jackie wore rainbow striped knee socks, white satin hot pants and matching jacket and a jaunty neck scarf when she and Fez won the roller disco contest on That 70s Show. Good luck and don't lean back!
Love,
Donna
