John Waters on roller derby girls: fashion models that could beat the s--- out of you
Timeless scamp John Waters answers questions from readers at USA Today, including this sweet note on modern roller derby. "Given the rise of roller derby and the momentum of Baltimore's own Charm City Roller Girls, do you have any interest in doing a movie about the roller derby?" "No, but I'm for them, and I love that most roller-derby girls today are ironic burlesque stars. They seem to do both. I've met the ones in Baltimore, and I've met the ones in a lot of cities I go to. It seems like roller derby girls are my fans, and I'm their fan, too. They always have a great look. No one gives them any trouble, 'cause they could kick your aaa in a minute. But they always have fashion. They're like a fashion model that could beat the shit out of you. Which is a good look!"
