Vansterdamn XXX, LOCO London Ontario

I struggled with how to decide who to choose to be the very first feature on the blog.  The women who have been submitted are absolutely incredible.  I couldn't possibly choose any one of them to be better than another.  So I made the executive decision to feature women in the order they were submitted.  So without further ado, please meet the very first Roller Derby Girl of the Day - Vansterdamn, from LOCO Roller Derby in London, Ontario.

Vansterdamn has been playing derby since 2006, and says her favorite move is to ride the inside line and basically sit on people.  She screams a lot from the sidelines too.  She is a freelance writer, local historian, and has an 18 month old son.


She was nominated by her friend Knuckle Slamwitch who had this to say:


"I'd like to nominate my friend Vansterdamn XXX for Derby Girl of the Day because she is the person who inspired me to start playing roller derby. She helped found LOCO Low Contact Roller Derby in London, Ontario. She is a tireless advocate for body confidence and is also a very accomplished writer and Lucy Maud Montgomery scholar. And she happens to have one cute kid! She should be featured because she has encouraged so many women to start playing roller derby and accept themselves for who they are."
