At CrossFit everyone gets a nickname. Mine is She-Ra, Princess of Power. A guy named Geoff gave it to me one night because he and I constantly traded 80s related quips. I also like to think it has to do with the fact that during the school year, after teaching night classes, I would do the WOD in lipstick. Something about the juxtaposition of a fully-made lady backsquating, box jumping, and doing push-ups really made the 'Princess of Power' nickname stick.
She-Ra, she's awesome. She was He-Man's twin sister and rode around on a unicorn-pegasus creature named Swift Wind. Swift Wind also talks. I love her. Her and Rainbow Brite are the two cartoon characters I remember best from my childhood.
Firstly, I am thinking I will consider dressing as her for Halloween.
Secondly, I think this may be the best nickname I've ever been given.
