I’M SO IN LOVE WITH MY CAR THAT...
I tattooed the Cadillac crest on my back with my car’s name above it.

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..
