Fox Cityz Foxz - Womens Flat Track Roller Derby

During Prohibition, a group of defiant young ladies, daughters of staunch prohibitionists no less, were illegally making and selling alcohol at an underground dance hall. One fine Sunday, the unthinkable happened and the local Sheriff and his deputy stumbled upon their operation.

In their attempt to flee, one of the gals pulled her Derringer handgun out of her pocketbook and shot wildly at the officers; luckily for all involved, she didn’t actually have the gun loaded. Nonetheless, they were all arrested and held in the county jail for four long, torturous days. Using their hairpins and stockings, they wove paper dolls in their images, propped them up and kicked out the window of their cell, lowering themselves down to freedom with a rope made of bed sheets and dental floss.

Being on the lam from J. Edgar Hoover and his newest organization, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, they took up cracking safes, robbing stores and bootlegging alcohol. They turned into modern day Robin Hoods, stealing from the government and giving back to the people. These dames were heroes in this Public Enemy Era!

News reports claimed they moved faster than the much coveted automobile and so they called themselves the Paper Dolls; a slap in the face to the scorned law enforcement they had escaped from. Unable to actually afford an newfangled automobile, they decided to strap wheels to their feet and skate their way through their good deeds. Once Prohibition ended, they evolved into a bona fide roller derby team and they usually play by the rules.
