Roller skates are making a comeback. These outdated means of entertainment suddenly have popped up as a new trendy fashion statement. They are now playfully sexy and fashionably retro. They have shown up in Jessica Simpson's "A Public Affair" video featuring some of the hottest stars cruising around a rink in hot shorts. Even the edgy Kat Von D, along with some of her eccentric clients, of LA Ink have been seen sporting roller skates. In Austin there are the legendary Lonestar Rollergirls. The Rollergirls have managed to build an image that sexy and crazily competitive can go hand in hand. They wear tight shirts and short skirts to derby events. Their reputation has really grown, for it is considered quite an honor to be on the team. Ten years ago people would have thought it was strange a star was sporting roller skates, laughed at the idea of being sexy on a roller derby team, and considered it dated, not edgy, for someone to wear them.
