Derby Bruise Contest

If you want to see some ridiculous bruises, check out this contest from The Life and Times of Lucy in Da Sky With Diamonds, sponsored by Scarred Derby Designs. (Warning: I wouldn't look at these while you're eating.. also, some could be considered NSFW because some girls are showing a bit of booty.)

Check out the site to see how you can vote for the "best" bruise. The contest ends Friday, February 11th at Noon EST.

I didn't submit a bruise, because I didn't really have anything too epic.  But here's a pic I found from last April. It's the front of my leg, at and just below the knee. I don't think it hurt as much as it looks like it did. Bruises are kind of a roller derby badge of honor.

Derby Bracket Contest

Screencap of contest.

This has been floating around Facebook... it's a 2010 WFTDA Championships bracket contest from Dave Wood Photography. From the facebook page:

The bracket has been announced -- all you have to do is predict the winners and you could find yourself the winner of some quite lovely prizes. Hop on over to the contest page and submit your entry!

It looks like the photographer is based out of Denver, CO.  Check out his website for some artistic/action derby photography (under portfolio > roller derby).
