The 1950s phenomenon of Roller Derby is back in full force, and
it's definitely not your grandma's game anymore. With leagues in
more than one hundred cities across the country, a national
tournament, and major sponsors, the new wave of the sport has gone
mainstream. No one is better qualified to tell the story of Flat
Track Derby's astronomic rise than Melissa "Melicious" Joulwan. As
a founding member of the Texas Rollergirls -- the league that
launched the sport and the reigning national champions -- she has
helped redefine what it means to be stylish, sporty, and sexy. With
her mouthy, tough-as-nails style, Melicious recounts her best tales
from the track: her fierce rivalries with The Wrench and Ivanna S.
Pankin, the scene at the annual national tournament, the thrill of
a bout, and the infractions that so often bring her to the penalty
box. From the minute she first laced up her skates and wrapped
herself in her alter ego, Roller Derby has given her a confidence
boost, and she shares the positive impact the sport has also had on
girls -- young and not-so-young -- who tack posters of her on their
bedroom walls and lace up their own skates. Complete with photos
and suggestions on how to develop a Rollergirl name and persona,
this unprecedented tell-all comes from the woman who's watched the
sport evolve from an underground Friday-night event to a bona fide
national phenomenon.
