What does your derby name mean to you?
A life that is sweet, full of hedonistic pleasantries…my indulgence in Roller Derby

How long have you been skating?
I was born with 8 wheels on my tiny little feet

Have you had any impressive skating/derby injuries yet?
I hate this question as I’m paranoid of tempting fate but my intention is to never get more than the odd bruise by staying solid on my wheels

What's your best move/technique?
Oooooo, there’s so many….bootie blocking, jumping, jamming my way through a pack, skating skating skating – fast fast fast…these are my favourites

Roller derby pet hate?
Hate? HATE? Is there anything to hate? Ah, I’ve thought of one, running training for the Race for Life but it’s all for a good cause and the good of the Dolls so I manage a smile

What's your favourite roller derby anthem/tunes to skate to?
Bullet in the Head – Rage! Anything Rage really, non-specific drum and base often fills my focussed head, Muse, White Stripes, Billy Holiday, Songs from the Jungle Book, Basement Jaxx, Winehouse, even Abba…

Favourite roller derby quote?
Turbo BackPacks ‘re good for yer arse – scrimmage scrimmage scrimmage! More of a chant really.

When the Hollywood all star cast film "Leeds Roller Dolls- The Movie" is made, who will play you?
Uma Thurman…in my dreams

Where do you plan to retire with your derby millions?
OTLEY OTLEY OTLEY surrounded by my Dolls, family and friends with a roller arena in my back yard and a banked track, a stock room for all my Riedells, pads and costumes, guitars galore in my music room and my private plane at LeedsBradford airport to fly off to sunnier places and International Derby Bouts!
