Roller Derby World Cup 2011



Check out all our Derby Shorts!

As many of you already know Monster Muffin was at Blood and Thunder's Roller Derby World Cup this weekend with the ever awesome Rumbling Rage Derby Shop. It was an AMAZING event full of suuuper friendly skaters, supporters and other vendors. Everyone was smiling and just so freaking awesome. I don't think I've ever done event where everyone was just so damn nice. I've also never done an event with so many injured people limping around ;) But I tell you these girls are tough. The hits they take and then get right back up as if nothing happened...omg it was totally bad ass to say the least.

Some sexy ladies trying em' on.

What some of you may not know, as popular as roller derby is, this was the first EVER World Cup so it's a pretty big deal. Teams from all over the world came to Toronto Canada to bout against the best of the best, and man did they give it their all.

Team Canada!!!

Team Canada was amazing and we are so very very proud of them. In the end team USA placed gold, Canada silver and England Bronze.

So here’s a big "Thank You" to TORD (Toronto Roller Derby) for hosting the event, to all the teams who came and to their friends and families and to everyone else out there who helped, hosted and supported.

"Canadian Warm" Winter Coat

So I've made quite a few one of a kind winter coats and I have yet another to add to the list of awesomeness. This one was made for Mirella of Toronto, Ontario. Together we designed this fabulous piece: fully lined with thinsulate, outer layer water repellant cotton polyester blend with a thick warm skull swirl printed lining. This coat is truly magical <3

So if you're looking for a Canadian Made-Canadian Warm winter coat you know who to call :)

Custom Made Halloween Costumes!

Hello Boils and Ghouls!

Hope you all had a spooky Halloween.
After an amazingly busy summer it was nice to take a little brake and make a few fun costumes for some wicked customers of mine. And here are the picutes: we've got Sgt. Pepper of the Beatles, Nurse Joy of Pokemon and of course we couldn't do without little Smurfette :)

New Guys Clothing

Ok so over a year ago at good ol’ Hot Rod Hootenanny I promised an awesome customer I would post new stuff “shortly”. This year he showed up again at the show and kindly but sternly called me on the fact that I still hadn’t posted anything new….and he was right and to him especially I apologize it took me so long. But I did finally post some new pieces that I think are totally kick ass. I love the new vinyl design we’ve got going on the back and the fabric is really freakin’ comfortable. Special thanks to our photographer Big Eye Studios and to our model Jeremy Matheison of Sink or Swim Tattoos. I hadn’t done a photo shoot with a male model in awhile…..no wait, ever….and I couldn’t believe how fast everything went. Usually with ladies we’ve got to do hair, makeup, style the whole outfit and then fix the hair every time the wind blows. But with guys you just dress them and there you go! We were off to shoot at out location in no time and after only 15 minutes of shooting we were ready to move onto the next outfit. Honestly it was the quickest and easiest shoot I’ve ever done and it turned out fantastic.

So check out the new stuff online and be sure to tell your friends, us little Canadian designers need all the “word spreading” we can get ^_^ 

Hug’s n tickles,

Miss Muffin

Rumbling Rage Roller Derby Shop

Wow, a lot has been going on and I’ve been slacking big time on my blogs, so here it is I’m going to write a few today that will hopefully catch everyone up to speed.

First things first we are SUPER excited about all the awesome feedback we’ve been getting on our roller derby collection which can now be found at the total badass store in Barrie, Ontario called Rumbling Rage Roller Derby Shop.  They’ve also got an online store you can check: www.rumblingragederbyshop.com.  Renata, the owner, is a roller derby girl herself and let me tell you you’ve gotta be badass to be a derby girl. She came over last week with one of the biggest bruises I’ve ever seen! Tryouts for next years team is in a couple of weeks and I dunno man, I wanna join up but I’m not sure I’m tough enough. These girls mean business. I do have a pretty sick pair of roller skates though…..that I’ll admit have never seen the light of day, I’m far to shy to be falling all over the sidewalk lol.

Ok so other then that I’ve been working on a bunch of new derby gear that will be getting posted later this week, I’ll keep you all posted on that.
Have a kick ass day and keep skatin’!

xo,
Miss Muffin

It's Ass Kickin' Time.
We've just (literally as I'm typing this my website is uploading the new pages) posted our new ROLLER DERBY short shorts! We've done custom roller derby oufits in the past and thought it'd be fun to create some ready made ones for you sexy ladies out there. We've got pink sparkly leopard print ones, silver zebra ones, striped ones, solid ones and you can even custom order your team colour!


AND to make things even more fun, Pretty Deadly Stylz took the liberty of using our shorts in a super awesome photoshoot for Auxiliary Magazine! So not only are they online to buy, they're also published in a sweet alternative magazine.



So check it all out, tell your friends and have an ass kickin' week!

Hugs n' punches,
Miss Muffin

The Toronto Clothing Show

Good Day Ladies  & Gents!

The Clothing Show is drawing near, next weekend to be exact. The fun begins Friday May 27th and runs until Sunday the 29th.

Now I'm going to be honest here, and those of you who have come to the show in the past may have noticed...no I take that back, I know you have noticed that the show seemed to be heading into a bit of a lull. Owners Clayton and Bonnie are fantastic people with a smart business sense and whole heartedly care about helping out local designers and artisans. They have made some major changes to the event this year that I'm personally stoked about. I bring these changes to your attention as I really think you should all come down and check it all out.

The Clothing Show will be held at a different venue, The Queen Elizabeth Building, Exhibition Place, with a much better layout. The fashion show runway now takes place in the middle of the show and is held in the Local Designers section. Oh that's right, Local Designers! And that's where we'll be. By now all of you know how much we boast about being Canadian made and support others who are so we're SUPER excited about this new section.

Check out some of our awesomely talented friends while your there:

Love Poetry Corsets

Paper People Clothing

Plastik Wrap

Sick On Sin

One more thing, we've come out with our first run of ladies jeans and need your help making sure the fit is juuuuust right. So if you come by and try on any pair of jeans we'll give you $5 in Monster Muffin Money to spend on anything in our booth, even if it's on a ridiculous sale already! Plus you'll get the warm fuzzy good feeling of helping me ^_^.
