LA Weekly, March 2, 2009: Hell's Belles: Sexy Speedsters and Mayhem on Wheels @ Derby Dolls Bout

Long Island Lolita's skates are a blur.

She tears around the banked track and slams full speed into Kiki Diaz, brutally crashing her into the rail. The pack of tattoo-sleeved rollergirls breaks apart suddenly as Tae Kwon Ho quickly weaves through the sea of fishnets scoring a much needed point for the Varisty Brawlers. The crowd cheers, Tecates are raised and spilled; it's just another day for the Los Angeles Derby Dolls.

But both teams suffered painful line-up losses at the end of last year, the Cookies losing OG LADD skaters Axles of Evil and Lucy Ballbreaker, and one of the league’s top jammers, Laura Palm-her. The Fight Crew suffered personnel problems all year, losing no less than four jammers through the year: Leia Mout, Crystal Deth, Fighty Almighty and OG jammer Jihad.
