To celebrate her birthday, my friend Ania had the awesome idea to go to roller disco in Renaissance rooms in Vauxhall. It is something we had been wanted to do for a while so we were all looking forward to put our roller blades on and show everyone how it is done! Ha ha, not so much, most of us felt like bambi on ice after putting them on! Eventually, a couple of hours and jager bombs later, we felt a bit more confident!
Look wise, shops were lacking of neon or disco theme clothes at the time so opted for a "hippie" look whilst my friend Jolanta totally embraced the 80s pop look and Ania and Gosia were neoned :o)
The boys didn't join the dressing game booh, my boyfriend Graham and his brother showed their experience on heels although they are better on roller skates! Gosia's boyfriend rapidly gave up after a few falls and opted for beer drinking and watching us!
It was so much fun! Funny to see us struggling keeping our balance and the shows off were funny too!
Not everyone agreed with me but the djs played a great selection of tunes I used to dance on! Old hip hop, GOOD rnb and disco and 80s classics, well yes of course there was cheese but thats why its so much fun!
Only downside for me was the rollers were poor quality so rubbed my inner sides of feet and got painful blisters now!
But the upside is I thought I would be much worse on the wheels and did not fall!
