The Ultimate Boutfit!

Get your glad rags on, and get creative, because well-renowned Roller Derby photographer extraordinaire David James 'Spida' Coxsell is making a second book!

As most of you will know, Spida's awesome photo book RD:UK documented the UK roller derby scene, and this time he wants to shoot pictures of your ultimate boutfits!

Spida needs volunteers - roller girls AND refs - to style or design their own boutfits, and then head down to his studios to model them for him!

The boutfits should say everything about you.  It doesn't matter if they would be deemed unsuitable for the track, they just need to be an expression of you and your Roller Derby Ego - the ultimate fantasy outfit.

Models need to be able to travel to Birmingham on a weekday, and will have to provide their own travel costs.

For further details, check out the Facebook Group, David's website, or contact him here.

New UK Roller Derby Book - RD:UK

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Over a three month period in the later part of 2008, David James Coxsell travelled up and down the country visiting groups of girls who are curently active in a growing sport. The sport is known as Roller Derby, is played on quad skates and is taking the UK by storm.

His aim was to capture images to help illustrate the wonderful world of Roller Derby for all those who are new and old to it.

“Roller Derby is a hard hitting full contact sport for women of all ages, size and shape. That means almost anyone can get involved so take a look inside and see if it appeals to you. If it does grab hold of a pair of skates, seek out your nearest local Roller Derby League and join in with the fun.”
