Tess La Coil

2 MHz

Hometown: Freeport, IL

Derby wife? No, but I'm accepting applications!

Why this derby name and number? A tribute to Nikola Tesla, a founding father of modern commercial electricity and inventor of the Tesla Coil, 2MHz is the highest frequency of a Tesla Coil.  Plus Im a dork at heart!

How did you get into derby? Joined the Atomics of Paducah, KY Summer of 09

Drink of choice: Pink lemonade and Chai tea lattes

Non-derby hobbies: Tattooing, knitting, painting, collecting vintage aprons, breaking hearts and bones (preferrably simultaneously), reading dirty harlequin novels, and making eye contact with strangers.

Turn ons: B-movies, manly men, pin-up girls, scratch'n'sniffs and shiny things!

Turn offs: Cattyness, Derby Stank!, disrespect and cliche tattoos.
