Hey, sometimes you've gotta do it for yourself. We're very DIY here so that's just one of the things we love about Holly.


We are proud to present to you our first Miss Metal-Blast! We looked long and hard. We talked to a lot of girls on this site as well as MySpace and there were a lot of qualified beauties that wanted to be Miss Metal-Blast but it takes more than a pretty face and a case of hard liquor that would have Miss USA salivating on her Manolos to be a Miss Metal-Blast. You gotta have personality, creativity, and be a true metal head! This is where Holly won us over. She's got brains, beauty, personality and METAL! Here's what Holly wrote to us when she applied to be Miss Metal-Blast:

Why I Should Be Miss Metal-Blast!!!!

I believe I should be Miss Metal-Blast becuase I am a cunning linguist. In fact, my post are just as cunning as can be!! I bring a HaHaHa to the simple world of bulletin board existance.

When I was a young lass, I said to Ronnie James Dio "Dad.....what is my purpose in life?" And he said "My child, Oh wondrous faeirie of the rainbows...you must seek that out for yourself." And then he turned into a unicorn and galloped off into the violet sunset. So I have searched from backstage couch to tourbus to diners at 4 am....looking for my purpose. And alas, I know it now to be the Inagural Miss Metal-Blast. To wear the crown and tour the world, spreading peace love and metal. To bring Spoons to the masses, and to spread the Good Words of St. Dimebag. "Go forth ye...and getcha pull!"

And seriously.....you have all seen pictures of my boobs. Plenty. Give a sista a break!!!!! That is why I should win....and because I will bake cupcakes for you all.....mmm...who doesn't love cupcakes????

Ok, tell us a little bit about yourself.

My name is Holly, I am 34 years old and I like sunsets, puppies and long walks on the beach. My goal in life is to adopt more babies than Angelina Jolie and thus achieve world peace.


Where are you from and what kind of work do you do?

I was born in Tijuana, Mexico, and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. I have also lived in Columbus, Ohio, Naples, Florida, London, England (just for a summer) and of course I now live in NYC. I work in Contract Administration for a big old "Financial Firm" right off Wall Street. It's my Day Job. Everyone here in this City has a Day Job and a Dream Job. I also do free-lance in TV/Film production. So Kevin Smith....if you are reading this...HOOK A SISTA UP!!!!

When did you move to NYC and why?

I moved here in 2000, because I always loved New York and fantasized about moving here for ages. Ever since I saw "Annie" on stage as a little kid, I was a New Yorker waiting to happen. In the 80's I was obsessed with Welcome Back Kotter and Barney Miller...weird huh? I visited in 1993 for the first time, and I knew I had to live here. Took a while, but I did it. WoooHooo!


What kind of ambitions or goals do you have?

Seriously, I just want to be happy. Shut Up. I want work in Broadcasting again.....I wanna career making money by making people
laugh. I want to get better at guitar and start an all-chick Judas Priest cover band called the "Nuns of Vengeance". We would all wear nun outfits I wanna marry Jason Mewes or Vin Diesel and I want to own a magic pony that poops large diamonds.

Living in NYC, you probably see celebrities all the time but there's got to be some really cool celebs that you've seen or met that you're particularly stoked. Which ones make Punx heart rate jump in person?

James Gandolfini was one. I met him and the entire freaking cast of the Sopranos at a bar in the Village one night. I was like "Whoa, Tony Soprano just asked me if that was my beer or his!" I giggled like a schoolgirl.

But for me, the big enchilada was meeting Ice T when I saw them
taping Law and Order SVU on the street. I completely Beavised. All that came out of my mouth was "DUDE! Yeah...you're like Ice T! Fuckin' Body Count, man!!! We would like play Power in my car and cause trouble and stuff and would be like "Six in the Morning! YEAH!!!!" You like, kick ass!"

He was extremely nice and signed my newspaper, but I still walked off
feeling like the biggest dumbass ever. He is very tall and handsome
though. Mmmm....dreamy....

What kind of hobbies do you have?

I just started playing guitar again, after...hmmm...23 years! I also love weightlifting...but lately I've been slacking. I love to bake and I love to sew (I have my own machine...yes I do). But if you call me Martha Stewart I will punch you in the throat. Other than that...I
just like to hit shows. Oh, I collect things with cows on them. And musicians. Musicians have been a hobby of mine since 1988.


SLAYER! Two legends joining forces? Tom Araya of Slayer and the first ever Miss Metal-Blast.

Favorite bands?

Uhhh....hehehe. SLAYER!!!!! Pantera, Black Label Society, DRI, bad brains, Cro-Mags, Agnostic Front, L7, Social Distortion, Fugazi, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, God Forbid, Venom, Testament, Type O Negative, Public Enemy, Highwaymen, Rancid, GBH and Justin Timberlake.

Which type of musician are you most likely to go after, The singer, the guitar player, the bass player or the drummer?

I never had a favorite per se, but I'll be damned if I don't end up with guitarists. I lost my virginity to a guitarist. I never really go for singers tho. Wait, scratch that....Robert Plant was my first sex crush.

Things Latinas do better?

We do everything better. Except be calm. We cook better, shake our booties better, break dishes during a fight better, we have perfected the Horizontal Lambada. I mean, come on, have you SEEN my mariachis?



I don't know, she looks pretty calm here compared to the guys from Rancid.....then again it is Rancid.



What does it take to win you over?

Make me laugh. And be genuine. I'm a pretty simple gal that way.

Whatcha got against MySpace? Tom loves us all!

My space is the Devil!!!! I know Tom...he taunts me with his millions and makes Baby Jesus cry.


Looks like this pic got Caught In A Mosh but that is in fact our first Miss Metal-Blast with Antharx singer Joey Belladonna.


Got anything to pimp? Bands, charities, favorite websites (besides Metal-Blast.com), TV shows, etc.

Uhhhh.....hmmmm....nope. Unless you need a video editor. Or voice over artist, AND YOUR NAME IS KEVIN SMITH.

How do you feel about being the first ever Miss Metal-Blast?

Dude.....now I can set aside all that anger for not being picked for the cheerleading squad in 7th grade. Because yes, bitches, I am Somebody!!!!! So you can take those pom-poms and shove them up
your....wait what were we talking about?

Ok, got anything else to add?


Metal-Blast rules. I love 'em big. Thanks you for this honor....this is like too fucking cool. (You will be receiving your cupcakes in the mail.) \m/


Beauty in the belly of the beast. Holly's posing inside the mouth of the shark from the movie "Finding Nemo".

Congratulations to Holly for being our first ever Miss Metal-Blast. She's a hottie who gave us some cool pics along with answers to our questions that proves to everyone that she's got a personality that's second to none and definitely deserves to be Miss Metal-Blast.
