So who’s seen Whip It so far? I saw it this last weekend and was going to write a review but my buddy Gabe Liedman, who has also contributed here at The Social Crisis, wrote a better review than I could ever hope to construct over at Videogum. He’s so right! Drew Barrymore is a real life Benjamin Button! I also share his fantasy of calling Holly Hunter for advice, mostly because Living Out Loud is one of my favorite movies of all time because I fantasize about going to Meow Mix with Queen Latifah in the 90s. But I digress! Point is Gabe is a genius, and you should be reading his review, and I shouldn’t be trying to one up him with one of my own because I would fail.
I couldn’t help myself, and started looking at roller derby leagues around the U.S. They got one thing wrong… most of the girls are not quite the Suicide Girls the movie depicts, with the MAJOR exception that is the alternative sexiness that exists in the Portland teams, the Rose City Rollers. However, It looks like the writers and producers and Drew Barrymore picked up on one awesome stereotype when they cast the movie. Roller Derby coaches almost always really, really hot, and Andrew Wilson in Whip It is a fine example of the sort of totally crushable male hotties you can expect to see. (Just in case you’re wondering, that last sentance just landed me a job as the editor of Tiger Beat magazine).
The following are some prime examples of male meat you can expect to see in this mostly girl dominated sport. (And in case you were wondering, THAT last sentence just landed me a job writing for Cosmo. This post has basically launched my career as a very highly sought after woman’s magazine editor.)
Flying Squirrel, Manager for the Gotham Girls Roller Derby:
The coach for the Portland Rose City Rollers‘ Wheels of Justice:
Also in the Rose City Rollers, Portland’s Fresh Meat Program:
Coach for the TXRD Lonestar Rollergirl’s Hellcats:

Arson is now in the back row, left. (We just updated the pic.)
He’s quite the catch, if I do say so myself.

No refs? If they can blow whistles that well, think of the possibilities!

I’m a lady lover, so until this article I had never thought about which boys are considered hotties in the girl derby world. But Yay Magnum! He’s starting merby here in the STL, so Magnum lovers may get to see him in some tights soon enough!
