Actionettes

Halloween bowling!

Not normally one for going out on a Sunday night – especially after a busy weekend – but I make an exception for the monthly London Roller Girl night at Bloomsbury Lanes… so much fun! A bunch of the Actionettes dressed up in our air hostess outfits with added ‘crash’ damage (not particularly tasteful as [...]

Twice in one weekend!

48 hours in Rome

Travelled with 7 other Actionettes and 4 Action Men to Rome for the weekend to dance at Twiggy (‘il 60s party di Roma’).
