- Where do you keep
your mouth-guard when you aren’t wearing it?
Bra - Do you collect
anything, if so, what/why?
The souls of my enemies - Which celebrity would
you like block into the wall?
There are so many…The singer from FUN - Do you have Tattoos?
What, where, and why?
two frogs on my stomach and a sun tramp stamp - Very first set of
wheels?
Stillettos - Do you have any pets?
Do they skate too?
2 Pugs and a cat. They only do artistic skating these days. The cat moonlights as a derby ref from time to time. - What did you think of
the movie Whip It?
It’s a great movie. I love it and any derby girl that claims they don't is just trying to front. Don’t lie girl, you know it hits the spot. - What advice would you
give to up and coming derby girls?
Never give up, don’t only shoot for the minimum, play every jam like it’s your last, and make sure you always play for the team on the front of your jersey and not the name on the back. - Do you have a
nemesis?
HAHAHA, with a name like mine you can rest assured I have more than one. - How many hours do you
think you spend training for your sport? On AND off of skates?
I skate about 15 hours a week (4 practices, speed practice, open skates, and scrimmages/bouts), I participate in or teach 4 hours a week of zumba, 3 hours per week lifting weights, another hour of aerobics and strength training. In addition to my current weekly routine I rock climb, dance, and participate in quad skate speed racing. - What else do you like
to do on skates?
A better question would be What DON’T I do on skates?!
- Are you a Derby mama?
(Do you have kids) What do your kids think about derby? When they cheer for
you, do they use your real name, your derby name, or something else?
I have a 6 year old daughter who skates, speed skates, and will be joining derby as soon as she is old enough to get in a Jr league. She comes to all my bouts and cheers me on! She screams SOPHONDA DRAMA and usually steals a marker and puts 411 on her arm. - Have you ever run
into a referee? (or vice versa?)
Both, I totally got tea bagged by one once in a bout - Do you have any
pre-bout rituals that you do? (Like smelling your helmet?)
I slaughter and drink the blood of a unicorn - Do you agree with the
following movie quote (and why or why not): “Pain heals. Chicks dig scars.
Glory… lasts forever.”
Pretty much my motto. I would skate on broken legs to win a game and own the glory.
