CRAZY CAR STORY:
The night before the first Hell’s Belles meeting I was cruising
around town with 7 people in my car. I went over some uneven pavement
and one of my fender skirts flew off due to the weight of the car. I didn’t
realize it at the time. I figured out what that huge sound was the next
day as I was washing her right before the meeting. Caddy parts are pretty
easy to come by, but I was bummed that her skirt was gone. I went back
the next night, hoping I would find her skirt somehow, and there it was,
leaning up against a trash can on Geary Street. One more reason to call
my car Lady Luck.
HOW DID YOU BECOME A BELLE?
Well, I’m one of the two co-founders, so there wasn’t anyone
to tell me I didn’t make the cut. Being a founder has its perks.. |
