5'3"

Distinguishing Characteristics:

I’m the girl with the dangerous curves you can’t take your eyes off.

Rump-o-lurve.

I never bump and tell.

Off-skates Thrill Seeker Activities:

Nothing broken, but I bruise easy so my whole thigh (tail to knee) bruise would be a standout.

Virtues:

I may be cheeky, but I know the rules. 



Vices:


Let just say silly string will get you in lots of hot water, but it’s worth it.

Earliest Roller-skating Memory:


Kissing boys at St Clair’s Roller Disco in my fluoro coloured eighties rah-rah skirt. I would skate as fast as I could while breaking hearts.

Non-Derby-Confusion Moment:

Booty blocking fellow employees out of the way to the photocopier, water cooler, elevator…

Origin of Derby Name:

I am too cheeky for my own good, so Karmen Getme fits me snugly like a red-hot leather jumpsuit.
