Vintage punk from somebody’s youth, Roller Queen by Naked Raygun from Throb Throb (1984),

Blast furnace monomania (the end). 'Punk' is preferred to hardcore, but we hate being pigeonholed. It's as bad as being corn holed. We play aggressive, melodic, intense, chanty music... We call ourselves, hmmm, bat cave funk, zydeco bop, twist and ground flailer, closet motown..."  Jeff Pezzati on Naked Raygun.

This live version of Roller Queen was recorded at the Riviera Theatre in Chicago on November 20, 1987.  It was released as a bonus track on the Quarterstick Records' reissue CD of the Jettison LP (1999).  Video from Kansas City Bomber starring Raquel Welsh.

Naked Raygun - Thanksgiving Day 1984, the Metro Chicago.

Lucille - the Roller Queen of 1953 (aka Hell on wheels)  

Lucille and her flaming red hair set the place on fire back in the day !

I love a good challenge, and this month’s theme  - Roller Derby - for the Character Design Reference page was great fun.

The animation shows how many transformations Lucille went through before  completion.  While researching the origins of the sport, I instantly fell in love with this vintage roller girl - i love her spunk and style ! I don’t know who she is, so if anyone out there does, pls fill me in!

The version with hijab was inspired by a recent news item here in Montreal, where a muslim woman was turned away from an indoor roller rink because she refused to remove her “hat” (as reported) as per the rink’s policy. She brought her story to the media and ultimately won an apology from the rink administration who stated that this policy would be revised.

The idea of such diametrically opposed cultures as islam and the roller derby world coming together was irresistible, and produced this I Love Jeannie sort of hybrid.
