I REACT TO GIRLS NEXT DOOR SEASON 4 EPISODE 8 "GO WEST YOUNG GIRL"

[@mikegarcia597]

The fact that you can’t show a video on the corner of your screen, of a tv show that was actually about you and YOUR life baffles my mind.

[@OfficialHollyMadison]

I know it’s annoying

Amen! 🙄🙄

People will do anything to strip us (women) of our voices. I’m glad she did it this way so no one could flag her. Or demonetize her. 💞

[@lbrando18]

But also, how come Whitney Port can show not only The Hills and the City, but Laguna and Siesta Key, which she wasn’t even on? I know her husband worked in production, so maybe they have explicit permission, but like, theyre so dumb because they don’t realize you showing the video would make people want to watch it in full again, and buy it again. They’re so dumb.

I love your assistant's 'early 2000s Bebe business-woman chic' in that scene! I miss those clothes. Watching these old shows makes me miss my 2000s clothes so much.

You did really well at that job. You were very organized. And you went back and forth from Vegas to LA in one day while working! lol. You were the ultimate Business Woman. You should have been given more responsibility. You need to take this little project and the podcast and spin it up into an empire. You and Bridgett could so do it!!

[@GirlsNextLevel_Fan]

To be a young 20 year old woman in the early 2000’s was really difficult for body standards and I think we still aren’t out of the woods! Did you buy your condo in Santa Monica because it was close to the studio?

[@sarahjoelle4286]

It sure was! I am ashamed to admit but I was obsessed with Nicole Ritchie and Lindsay Lohan during their skinny era. I read that they went out to dinner and shared one sushi role and I copied them to stay skinny! How sad!

Yes, I idolized Nicole Richie during that phase. All the female celebs were so skinny back then. The cast of Desperate Housewives, Renee Zellweger, etc. Glad the beauty standards have veered away from the anorexic look.

Loving these videos and they are so nostalgic. Yet, you are talking about insightful issues that are way relevant today. I'll try to come up with questions about the mansion in the earlier years.

[@angeliquemariel2916]

This is one of my fave episodes ever Holly!! I love seeing the girls test for playmate, and Angel riding the bull is sooo cute, it looks like she had a lot of fun!! I really loved seeing you and Angel meet for the first time again, it was sweet seeing you two interact!!😊💖Your pink and red top in that one interview where you have that shiny wig on, is one of my fave tops. I’ve seen this episode a few times, it’s nice seeing the three girls bond and create their own comradery. I do agree that beauty standards go both ways, no matter if you get plastic surgery or not, everyone gets criticized for how they look and it’s just not right at all.

[@basic_CeceRae]

That’s right girl,don’t let them try to get that Adsense. For everyone who is curious Tubi has The Girls Next Door available for streaming for free if you are interested in watching the episodes as Holly features them here. Also Amazon has them as well but Idt they are free but if you’d like to own all seasons that’s a option too.

[@Halliwell29]

Question before the filming of the girls next door: where you all expected to look tanned ? Was that a thing he liked? Did all the girls use tanning beds or were fake tan/spray tan already a thing ? Cause of skin cancer and ageing i would think that was a topic

I loved this episode! Every time I see Angel I remember her taking on one of your haters on Holly's World and just thinking I'm glad Holly has a scrapper friend who can let the haters know what's up lol 💙 dang, I wish they would've done a French Quarters theme would've been so much more dynamic and stunning. I loooove all your creative ideas!!!

[@0blivvy8]

I thought it was so cool that you got to work as an editor for Playboy! You really did have a great eye. I loved how you saw it from the side of what the magazine & it's customers wanted, but also from the playmates' perspective, and gave the models positive feedback. My late aunt had a scrapbook room! It was so cool, it had everything you'd need and was beautifully organized- a storage dream! She was a teacher, and loved scrapbooking and making cards. I'd love to have an arts & crafts room one day; I had to downsize so most of my supplies are in storage now. I also adored Angel and was rooting for her! She seemed so sweet, fun, and down to earth. I love that you're still friends with her & Bridget. 💗

[@charlottehernandez8803]

Hi Holly! I just finished listening to your second book and it was fantastic. There is a part in the book where you talk about having the impression of “knowing” a celebrity. I thought it was interesting because famous people have never been my cup of tea. I don’t regularly keep up on who’s who, and what they’re doing. I don’t watch tv anymore and KZbin is kind of my information highway. My now partner is a “local celebrity” this is what others have told me and I don’t think of him like that at all. Occasionally, someone will recognize him and talk to him like they know him. Which is always awkward and they talk about how he isn’t what they expected. I don’t tell anyone who I’m with as people get weird like I have some way to advance their career or network. Society will always put celebrities on a pedestal and it’s kind of weird. They’re normal people who now get scrutinized for not being what we want them to be. I don’t know you, but want to think if we meet in person we could be friends. The reality is I’m probably waaaay too loud and dramatic for you to handle(All my closest friends are the quiet ones). We share similarities, but you are Holly Madison, the you tube entertainer that shares her thoughts. Thank you!

I feel like beauty standards themselves are just toxic period. Not everyone has the same idea of what beauty is and the idea that society & media keeps trying to force one look is never going to go hand in hand with what beauty is. Plus it's so awful for people that feel the need to get surgeries to fit into that beauty standard & then that idea of what beauty is goes "out of style". So I feel like no matter what you just can't win.

Could you talk about a “day in the life?” I know you have referenced things many times about specific activities at the mansion on specific days. But I’m talking more like for YOU specifically. What time you would wake up & what you did you do throughout the day until it was time for a structured mansion thing. Whether that means you pick a specific day & just talk about that day or whether you had general routines most days, whatever.

[@reganocallaghan4955]

Holly, It's crazy the pressure of beauty standards are on women. I feel like we can never win. Have to be natural but be fake. Be thin but not too thin. I have been watching video's by a KZbinr Stephanie Lange. she does a series on beauty standards through out history and how body goals shift almost every decade. Behind the scenes of social media doing instagram vs reality. Here video's have really changed my perspective on beauty and has greatly improved my self confidence and relationship with myself. Highly recommend checking out her video's. It has greatly help with my mental health.
