It's Monday! That means it's the time of the week for YOU to meet the many faces of HRD and learn a little about the skaters you want to cheer for in 2012!
This Monday, check out Beverly Kills and Sweet D-manda !
Number #90210
Team The Houston Roller Derby All-Stars
Position Jammer, blocker, team choreographer
Years Played I have successfully made it through 5 HRD seasons
Height 5' 6"
Occupation Bartender, trainer, entertainer
How did you get into derby? Carmen Geddit and I had heard about derby and thought it was such a cool idea. Somehow, Carmen found out about a practice that was taking place to organize a Houston league, so me, Carmen, and Chewcifer went to out first practice and the rest, as they say, is history.
Likes Positivity, randomness, drums, candy, theatre, music, art, black-ink pens, dogs, parkour, handstands, dancing, cackling, metaphysics, pterodactyl screeching, skating instead of driving, and derby love!
Dislikes Mayo....gross. Cats with a grudge, hangnails, pretension, close-mindedness, and not being sponsored to skate by a millionaire that owns a company making adorable stuff animal puppies!
Favorite thing about derby I believe in being a part of a movement that motivates women to feel good about themselves and create a sisterhood that's based on healthy competition to foster a good example for future derby generations to come! So...on that note, I guess you could say that I really, really like being a part of the message that derby promotes and continues to support!
Fun Facts I was in the circus once.....swam with whales, have been unexpectedly caught in a demonstration in Paris, have a attended a mass lead by the Pope (when in Rome!), got to climb the Mayan ruins and swim in a cenote- before they banned access to the public, and I got the chance, one Halloween, to play the theremin!
Number 9/10
Team The Valkyries
Position Blocker (eventually transforming into a step-crazy jammer)
Years Played 2 years (HRD rookie)
Height 5'4"
Occupation Former Entomologist, professional dreamer, world traveler
How did you get into derby? My friend Donkey Punch introduced me to the sport. When I was relocating, I decided that wherever I decided to ultimately move - they had to have a roller derby league.
How did you pick your derby name? I've got several layers to me. Also, I love It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
Likes travel, food, sunshine, laughing, hiking, maple syrup, live music
Dislikes negativity, being on top of a mountain during a lightning storm, and rattlesnakes - though I'm trying to make peace with the little beasts!
Favorite thing about derby The socks (Just kidding). I like meeting all the unique people, skating, and I like hearing my name being called out from the crowd.
Fun Facts Causing trouble is fun.
Tune in next Monday to see our next set of featured skaters for the week!
