Photos by Kim Saito (© Kim Saito Photography, 2007) Bio How did you learn about roller derby? I was doing an internet search for a writer and sex worker activist named Scarlet Harlot. The search came up with a skater in Austin, a member or the Texas Rollergirls. A firey little red head in a school girl uniform, on skates, skating under the name Skarlot Harlot for the Hell Marys. My search quickly changed from authors to roller derby. The Duke CIty needed some of that action! In looking into how to start a league in our city I found that one was already in the works. One of the players, Vixenator, at the time her name was just Katie, invited me to skate at the local rink. There I met a handful of girls calling themselves Duke City Derby and signed my life away. What positions do you play? I mostly Pivot, I love the strategy and control involved in that position. I also block and hope to be a jammer someday. Is there a band or song that you listen to to get ready for a bout? Other rollergirls HATE my music!!! I don't have anything specific but one song that I've used a few times is, Day-O The Banana Boat Song. There is just something about "come Mr. tally man, tally me banana" that gets me pumped. What leagues do you look up to? I think everyone looks up to the league that started it all and currently number one in the nation, The Texas Rollergirls out of Austin, Texas. I do, but even more so look up to the leagues that have taken DCD under their wing like AZRD (Arizona Roller Derby). My derby heros are Ivanna S. Pankin' and Trish The Dish, they run SCRG (Sin City Rollergirls). I look up to their skill and admire the way their league is run. Secret weapon for world domination? Banana phone.
