Funny. I recognize that logo. It's for North Star Roller Girls. I was heavily into women's roller derby about 5 years ago, then got completely burnt out of it.

Looking at her Facebook, looks like used to be in the Violent Femmes. Small world!

I'll throw another name into the "Great women of pinball" list: Jennifer Peavler. Heavily active in tournaments.

I buy my GF high heels, but that's only because that's my other hobby besides pinball. She wants a Fish Tales, but that's a bit harder to come by compared to pair of 6 inch stilettos.

Her playing pinball in heels = win win. Easier to see the playfield.

vid, you have wonderful advice concerning repairs & restos, but you're not the spokesperson for getting women into pinball. Having an overly feminine name, in online gaming can often backfire. Suddenly white knighting and "show us your tits!" harassment comes out. Curtis_Playfield's a great pin handle, since the pun of it is something only a pinhead would understand.

I've long since stopped browsing pinside from work. This was before the image filtering. It would have only taken one NSFW pic by someone walking by before it becomes an "HR incident". I brought this up a while back about keeping pinside work safe, and got the expected knee jerk reaction from the good 'ol boys.

Perhaps posting images on pinside should be an earned privilege, not a given one. If you want to see tits & ass, go to a porn site.

If there are, the solution to that is to practice & play more.

Then you move onto phase 2: blame it on the machine. Question the leveling, ask when it was last shopped, ask others "are the flippers a bit weak to you?".

You can't force women to get into pinball, but don't drive out the ones(or might someday be interested in) that are. Just because there are aren't that many women into pinball doesn't mean it's "anti-chick".

If it's so anti-chick, why do you have so many pictures of women posing nude/semi-nude in front of pins? J/K

Let's take the "no girlz allowed" sign down.
