Sigh. Le adorable.
My only problem with you calling her Violet is I keep visually this one rollergirl from CT, whose derby name is Violet Riot. It’s quite amusing…

new to your blog, and totally eating it up. i am in love – in that “i want to be your best-friend-neighbour-femme” way – with Violet. (we, apparently, have many zany things in common)
your obvious love and fascination for your girl is touching and lovely. thanks for sharing it with the world, so that i might come along at some random point in time and witness it.
