About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
i sparkle.

odd obsessions - side show carnivals, french accordion music and world war/post war french jazz (think edith piaf), anything film noir, our lady of guadalupe art/figurines, shouting MOO!(x3) at cows while driving past, manual transmissions, south paws, real whipped cream. i never said i was normal.

i'm SHANGHAI LILY, captain of the M-80s - one of 3 teams of the Arch Rival Roller Girls: St. Louis' first all women flat-track roller derby league! we're entering our THIRD season this year, with bouts starting in late March - GET READY!
if you're interested in helping out in any way (volunteer, jeerleader, etc.) contact us at [email protected]. if you think you'd like to test your skills on skates, recruitment is currently open! email [email protected] for more info.
i'm also the name collector (or "name bitch") for the team - if you've got questions on your derby name submission or need to give your info for our database, please contact me!

ARRG makes the cover of the RFT!

right on.
