The Momadonnas Demolition Derby



The Momadonnas want to sponsor something else! Hmmm… how about a demolition derby car! Wouldn’t that be just perfect?

Are you wondering where this perfectly wonderful idea comes from? Well, it just happens that The Professional, Kelly St. George and Punk attended the Washington County Fair a few weeks back, and although the mullet contest and the moo off competition* were riveting, for our girls the Demolition Derby stole the show!

What is it about watching people crash thousands of pounds of metal into each other for our entertainment? The whole concept of watching drivers ramming their vehicles into one another seems so wrong. This is definitely an activity that comes with the warning: Do NOT try this at home! Normally this kind of warning would only encourage us to try it, but cars are a bit more intimidating than making a candy rocket launcher. That said I think a demolition derby speaks to our most basic instincts. Just think of the raw power, the danger, the action, the speed, the corn dogs. What’s not to like? Demolition Derbies are as American as apple pie and Usher …oh how we love Usher… mmm Usher dancing…. Oh Usher! Oops where was I?

If the Momadonnas had their way we would be at a different demolition derby every weekend. Even the Minions and Accessories got in on the action, with the Minions dancing in the stands** and the Accessories getting run over.

You don’t believe me? Good thing we take pictures! Here is Kelly’s Accessory meeting a few of the drivers the hard way….

The Derby was a colossal success, and as you may have guessed our girls are already planning their next derby visit! Until then maybe we can talk the Minions into putting on a demolition derby show for us with their bikes? I mean it can’t be any worse than the time they jousted, oh wait that was the Accessories….

* Yes, there is a trophy for the best moo!
** Unfortunately for the crowd, the moms declined the Minions offer to dance in front of the grand stands.
