dear_prudencewe went to roller derby!
they played 90s pop songs all night and i drank UDLs (it was either that or bourbon or beer, both of which make me sick), so i felt like i was 15 again, and it was both awesome and weird.
then sajee, tash and i went to the royal mebourne show!
we saw all the calkes and quilts and crafts etc. sajee and i have decided that we are totally entering things next year!
i ate a stick of fairy floss as big as my own head
and i snuggled a baby sheepling! the farmer said they are called "lambs", but i think baby sheepling is better :p
i love that there are still kewpie dolls at the show!
i always used to want to get these when i was little. i didn't buy one this time. i mean they are cool when you're at the show, but then you get them home, and there's a creepy doll in your house staring at you.
and then sajee played the game where you put the ball in the clown's mouth, and she won me a stuffed cow :)
i was a doofus and didn't bring my own camera, so all these photos are shamelessly stolen from sajee's flickr photostram

i think they were more elaborate and awesome when we were kids, but i am glad they still exist :)

What is Roller Derby? Is it like when you would go to the roller rink as kids and they'd play limbo on wheels and stuff?
