Get to know your Riot Girls! Vendetta von Bang #19

Here's where Terminal City's Riot Girls answer all of your burning questions! (Questions about your burning should be directed elsewhere.) Got a good one that didn't get covered? Email us!


WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH YOUR NAME? I had wanted to use my burlesque stage name Foxy von Bang, but there was already a Foxy. My husband suggested Vendetta, and I'm glad, I like it better.

VENDETTA, DEFINED AS 'AN OFTEN PROLONGED SERIES OF RETALIATORY, VENGEFUL, OR HOSTILE ACTS'. WHAT'S THE MOST VENGEFUL THING YOU'VE EVER CONTEMPLATED? Contemplated? How about done? I had these horrible upstairs neighbours who poisoned my cat Ludwig (bless his little cat soul). Before we moved out I broke into their house and put raw fish in their bedposts and curtain finials.

WHAT'S THE STORY BEHIND YOUR NUMBER? The number chose me. It was given to me when I started playing soccer as a little kid (Hastings-Sunrise, yo) and I always seemed to get it assigned to me throughout the years.

HOW MANY SEASONS HAVE YOU PLAYED? I've been with the Riot Girls since 2008, although I didn't skate last season because I was building a baby in my belly.

WHAT POSITION DO YOU PLAY? Blocker

WHAT DREW YOU TO DERBY? Skating fast and hitting bitches...seriously what is not love about that?

WHAT'S THE MOST NON-DERBY THING YOU DO? I hate these questions...define 'non-derby'? We are such a diverse group of women...sigh....here goes...I make my own baby food.

WHO WOULD PLAY YOU IN THE MOVIE OF YOUR LIFE? Fozzy Bear.

SUPERMAN'S A MILD MANNERED REPORTER. BATMAN'S A MILLIONAIRE PLAYBOY. WHAT'S YOUR SECRET IDENTITY UP TO WHEN YOU HANG UP THE TIGHTS? Normally, I work for a major Canadian University, in Cooperative Education, connecting students and employers for work term experience. Currently I'm on mat leave and play with my baby all day long. It's kind of rad.

IF I COULD OPEN UP YOUR BRAIN AND DIRECT DEPOSIT A NEW SKILL, WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE? More patience for these questions.

DO YOU HAVE A SIGNATURE KARAOKE SONG? Yes, George Michael's 'I Want Your Sex' and it is epic.

WHAT'S THE BEST PART OF BEING A RIOT GIRL? Everything. We are Soliders of Awesome.
