Luckily this week has started to get moar betterer than it was from my previous post. Thanks to a little introspection, talking with a couple of coworkers, and some advisory kickassery from former LA Derby Doll Kid Vicious, I think I've found some temporary coping mechanisms to get my brain a-thinkin' in a more positive direction.
A little non-brain-using work is also helpful.
Below is the result of a quick night's work of making Notorious, the spray I use on my pads to help prevent them from stinking to high heaven and back several times over. This has been a very minor league side project of mine...I first started making this stuff for post-jogging relaxation on me feets over seven years ago. At some point I started spraying it on my pads after skating. It's a well-known fact that the only athlete that smells worse than a roller derby skater is a hockey player, hence the need for such a spray on one's pads.
From there, it's become almost a heroin-esque product within the LA Derby Dolls. I sell bottles of the stuff. When buyers need a refill, I have them give me the bottle to reuse, to help minimize waste. HOW CONSCIENTIOUS OF ME.
But...it sells. Which is good.
Not what I intended on being known for or being in demand for...but I gotta take what I can get, I guess.
Anyway, here is photographic record of me making a decent-sized batch of Notorious to sell at Rollercon this weekend:
33 bottles of Notorious is now ready to be sprung into the wider derby community. We'll how it sells!

Wow, you know you ain't going to have any Notorious left when you come back from Rollercon, right? I just want to make sure you already know that...
You'll be a real "roller-derby-pad-deodorant" tycoon! Good luck with the sales. I'm glad things are a little brighter for you.

Kid: that's the hope! Though so far interest has been limited to the usual LADD suspects.
George: I have a long way to go before I'm a tycoon. But I gotta aspire(or perspire) to something!
