DERBY GIRLS & ELVIS NIGHT- DETROIT HAS THE SPIRIT OF ROCK 'N' ROLL

The winds of Detroit roll cold these days but the action is HOT at the Masonic Temple with our very own DETROIT DERBY GIRLS! The 'Cinderella Story' is apt here as the Devil's Night Dames solidly beat the D-Funk Allstars by 40 points (166-126).

The ALL STARSmake a sandwich out of the DAMES' Jammer!

The Devil's Night Dames block the D-Funk Allstar's Jammer on 1-31-15

These teams are both amazing with the DAMES just rock solid. I talked to some of the girls and found out there are a few new members including a high ranking official with the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), the governing body for professional amateur female Derby Teams, is playing on the DAMES! Her and the 'NEW MINDSET' has really paid off. The DAMES have a "grounds-up mentality"- NEW, REBUILT and it's paying off.

Traditionally Woman's Roller Derby has a 'Theme' of a fun, culturally-relevant subject...and this night was ELVIS!!!  I really didn't see any people dressed up, which is a shame. Usually there are a few. Nevertheless, the Elvis hired for the Half-time show and his band were amazing! Really good singer and pretty close to the looks of the "King" himself.

Our Elvis was quite personable and even serenaded a few Derby Girls in the Officials area! Everyone loves Elvis and he was well received.

JAM LINE UP- LET THE ACTION BEGIN! (1-31-15 Detroit Derby Girls)

And oh course, the SUPERFAN of the Detroit Derby Girl (and his favorite team is the D-FUNK ALLSTARS)...THE GREEN GUY! He's a great guy and is always getting the crowd pumped when he is able. People always want to take pictures with him too.

So we are looking forward to the next bout. Stay frosty for more great pictures and videos!

Great Action all night long! Both teams are tough! (1-31-15- DDG)
