Hell Mary Salute

Scarlot Harlot was a bad rollergirl and didn’t make it to the roller derby all season. Tomax sums it all up.

Check out the Austin Chronicle write up and watch the Texas Rollergirls to see what other events will show up in the off season!
Oh yeah, the Hotrods won again…..

Roller Derby Track Shorts. NO NO NO!

I’d like to thank everyone in roller derby who wears their 70s underwear as their uniform for making it possible for this to be a legitimate rollergirl Halloween outfit. Sure this girl is smoking hot in her rainbow bright outfit but mostly all I see is camel toes. There should be a box for these & rocky mountain jeans with a sign that reads, “If your ass doesn’t fit in this box, you shouldn’t put it in track shorts or rocky mountain jeans.”

I think KERRY WARE, producer of DOLLS is feeling me. This is her bio pic for the documentary about the DERBY DOLLS. It’s cute when you’re a kid or you have an insanely beautiful body…

If your booty doesn’t fit in the box wear these shorts so i can at least just laugh at it instead of throwing up in my mouth a  little.

That is all. XxOoXOxo,

We will get to that part but first!!!!

Oh Yeah! So what about that bar? Chris Jagger is a singer/guitar player, John Peyton is a harmonica player and in case I haven’t reminded you in the last 48 hours, I am the Scarlot Harlot, the red head with bedhead. Now what I am about to tell you isn’t very lady like but the Scarlot Harlot is no lady, Chris and Mick Jagger’ are brothers and the first time I talked to John Peyton, we talked more about how he could own his own roller derby team more than his web page…SO…

After uploading a new music file for John Peyton, I was looking for patches for a roller derby sundress I pieced together with old derby shirts. The Scarlot Harlot had a lovely red plaid school girl skirt covered in patches and wouldn’t you know…there on the front of that dirty girl’s skirt was the Rolling Stones mouth in purple. Oh my!

Having been hit on the head too many times it will just be easier to share a photo montage and it will also give Scarlot, the bedheaded stranger, the opportunity for self promotion of herself, the Texas Rollergirls & roller derby fans  she loves so much. Especially the self promotion part!!!!

It’s true the Scarlot Harlot had the Rolling Stone patch right over her hoochie coo. Oh Dear, but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do to earn the respect of people she knocks down on a regular basis and keep up with sexy cowgirls like Bettie Rage.

Pixie harassed us so much of the time we just learned to ignore her. Scarlot with Satina, Misty Meaner and Pixie.

Gibson guitar headquarters in Austin, Tx.

Once there was unlimited time to gossip in the parking lot, gamble, pose for photos and  listen to Lone Star Revival to save our wicked souls!

Misty Meaner is saluting the Stones or trying to lick me. Probably both! Mean Streak and Amen don’t even care!

When you are just looking for the mouth, it starts getting ridiculous!
While we are talking about the Rolling Stones…I recently watched a documentary about them playing a free concenrt for 1.2 million people in Brazil. Unbelievable.

The Scarlot Harlot as a Holy Roller only had time to put KISS on this skirt. Go watch Hell on Wheels to find out why her skirt color changed. You also have to watch Whip It featuring the Holy Rollers and Marcia Gay Harden who John performs with at the 2010 University of Texas Commencement Ceremonies. No one played harmonica at my UT graduation! It’s a small world indeed.

CHEERS to Jagger Peyton!!! Love all your shows but especially proud of all your charity work and your enthusiasm about all you do!

Hell Marys love the Cathedral of Junk. Save it!

After more than 20 years of life, the Cathedral of Junk is not up to code. Wonder what cranky neighbor or busy body came after this “Keep Austin Weird” artistic landmark.  Maybe a fat cat has an original condo idea for this fella’s backyard?

While I believe there is a solution being worked on right now to Save the Cathedral, it’s ridiculous for a city that boasts “Live Music Capital of the World” and “Keep Austin Weird” to be so reckless with it’s creative types. I don’t recall anyone building a musicians/bartender/sound guy condo downtown so the people who make their money on 6th st or Red River could walk to work. I haven’t forgotten about the Intel building despite it’s recent strickening from the Austin skyline. The artists even converted that eye soar into a work of beauty with aerial performance.

Okay…I’m stepping off my soapbox and want to show the Celesta Danger photos of  the Hell Marys at the Cathedral of Junk which won an Austin Chronicle 2006 Best of Austin Award and has 4.5 stars out of 5 stars on Yelp.  There are more photos but these are just some random ones I found. LEAVE the Cathedral alone! Geezzz! Please post a comment if you have any useful links.

Whip It Movie Trailer

Juliette Lewis is a Holy Roller!!!!! HELL YEAH! Scarlot Harlot loves that but I don’t know what she will think about  the movie! It is very weak they gave Lewis Dinah-mite’s name!!!! Of course it’s spelled Dinah Might. Obviously a blatant rip off. Booo. We started roller derby back in motion here in Austin, Tx. At the very least, they could pay Dinah-mite some green for all the time and energy she put into developing that character. Without a doubt there will probably be a lot of intellectual property stealing. The trailer looks pretty funny. Drew Barrymore’s laugh in the trailer rings a bell.

Plutopia 2009 Smidget

I, Beth Been, am participating in Plutopia 2009: Living Systems. In an attempt to be as interactive as possible, I am sharing a little piece of the art and info related to this project.

Roller Derby in the Living Systems Theory according to the Scarlot Harlot is based on the digram below. Sorry for the long title. For some reason it had to be that way. In the end I am not sure how closely my final product will stick to the explanation, but the whole artwork started from this diagram and reading. Something being broken off from society in their own living system and needing certain things to keep it going. Currently, this work contains paint, paper, and glitter. Soon there will be a red plaid skirt and flowers. I’m NOT showing an example of the work below. That is just the inspirational diagram. You’ll have to come back to see if I show you any of it!!!

the Living Systems Theory

The Nitrogen Cycle is almost finished in felt, cross stitch, sewing, etc. I give you a small sample of the labels and a duck. There’s also a deer and some other happy faces. There are rumors of a duck tiara. Hell maybe a deer one, too.

Texas Rollergirl WHAMMYS
Austin, Texas – Sunday, January 18, 2009

The Scarlot Harlot (ME!) and Whiskey L’Amour MC-ed the recent Texas Rollergirl Whammys at the Mohawk. With a theme of THEN & NOW, the house was full of rollergirls old and new. What a blast!

You can read the WHAMMY recap by the Austin Chronicle who were in house and recognized for their publications use in reattaching Whiskey’s foot to her leg at the Austin Music Hall during SXSW in 2003. Seriously, she ripped her foot off but has rocked the mic as the play by play announcer until her retirement the end of last year.

A good time was had by all but I was most excited to see all the retirees – Pris, Buckshot Betsy, Mean Streak, Misty Meaner, Whiskey L’Amour, Strawberry, Pinky, Ellis Dee, Crazy Duke, Dottie Karate, Dinahmite, Trouble, Sedonay Face, Tinkerhell, Hydra….and well as all the AWESOME ladies who continue to skate.

Scarlot Harlot will add her photos soon and some others if she can get permission! Be sure to check out many more GREAT photos by Ziv Krueger & Bill Smotrilla

Special thanks to the Whammy Committee, Sylvia for doing my hair, Christina and Emily for dressing me, Whiskey for being an awesome partner in crime, all the photographers and punk rock Phil and everyone else who sat there and listened to my dumb jokes! ha! This sounds a little like an acceptance speech and we all know what happens when I do that! Whammys 2004. Sorry I can’t do anything about the missing images. Groovee Fortune originally set up the Texas Rollergirls SCRAPEBOOK but is no longer in charge.

Funny how I end up being the devil whether I bring my horns or not! ha!
Why not give ’em HELL!

Fun Roller Skating/Derby Photos

Roller Derby Game

For many years, Scarlot Harlot of the Hell Marys and Groovee Fortune created and maintained the Texas Rollergirls’ web page. Prior to the split you can see all about in Hell on Wheels, she maintained the Bad Girl Good Woman web page and was nominated for best extreme sport web page by SXSW  2003. The crazy after party.

Chicago Skate Guide

Thru the ups and the downs of derby, there were many ways the whole thing could have panned out visually, dynamically, etc. When maintaining the derby sites in the early days, I looked around the World Wide Web to see what inspiration and ideas might lurk out there. Look what’s out there now!!! I want to share some of those photos. I’ll try to keep posting some more derby photos. There are many photos even the godmothers of the reinvention of roller derby have not seen but first the really old old school stuff.
