A Meteoric Rise

The Dudettes’ first show was at Logo on May 16th. Their second show, on June 5th, was at The British Bulldog as part of a Talent Quest organised by Zuloo, a local theater group. When they performed all three of their songs, H1N1, Facebook Stalker and Shopping in China, the judges were unanimous in awarding them the first prize.

This is the original line-up of The Dudettes. On the left is Roses. Next to her, with the heart-shaped glasses, is Emily. Next is Sophia von Schakopolous. Finally, on the right, is Anita Schwanz.

Here they are again, this time at Yuyintang for the occasion of Joris’ (The Dropkicks) farewell. It looks like Shopping in China (just pick up the phone).

Sophia von Schakopolous was also a member of another high profile group from last year: Hotter than Teppanyaki. Here you can see members of HTT, The Snotskicks with The Dudettes performing Sakebomb.
