Cookie Rumble Takes A Bite Out Of Hollywood

Take Two. October may be mustache month but in DDG land it’s movie month with Whip It debuting nationally. Our Cookie Rumble has been known to rock a fake ‘stache as well as steal some scenes. Sporting big bad hair and one particularly lovely asset, Cookie Rumble tells all.
What was your reaction when you first saw the Whip It poster and noticed your butt in the “W” of Whip It?
Tinja was the one who told me (and then proceeded to snag me a huge poster, thanks Tinja!) At first I didn’t get what she was saying but when I actually saw the poster I thought it was hilarious! After all, I’m known for my booty here in the D and now everyone can gaze upon its glory…just kidding, just kidding, just kidding. What really made me smile though was the fact that there is a DDG patch right there for the world to see. Hooray for DDG!!
What was it like skating on a banked track and how is the style different from your usual flat track ways?
OMG! I’m terrible on the banked track. My shins were killing me by the end of the first day. Thankfully, we had some really great girls to help us get acclimated to the different style of skating. Silly me, I thought I was hot stuff when it came to derby…..not so much when I can’t even stay on the bloody thing! It did, however, force me to learn how to cross over left.
You’re in the food fight scene (shot at the Lafayette Coney Island, Downtown Detroit). Was the fight filmed in one take or many? Describe your appearance after the director yelled cut. Did you nail anyone famous?
The fight itself was one take. One gloriously disgusting shot. I smelled like barf, I looked like I got barfed on, and it was one of my favorite memories from the movie. We were in Lafayette for a good long time so the tension leading up to the food fight was palpable. There were many a threat against my awesome hairdo (love you Stefani!) and a lot of goofing around. Did I nail anyone famous? I have no idea. It was hit or be hit. At one point I actually tried to crawl under the table, unsuccessfully.
If the Detroit Pistoffs had one draft pick out of all the Whip It actresses who would you draft and why?
I would have to say Kristen Wiig, Maggie Mayhem - she has a wicked sense of humor.
Are there any myths or misconceptions you’d like to dispel about roller derby before the film officially opens?
We aren’t allowed to fight or throw elbows. That, and I really don’t know how to pull off half of the sweet moves I did in the movie. Viva Hollywood!
