BEHIND THE SCENES OF A PLAYMATE SHOOT / I REACT TO GIRLS NEXT DOOR SEASON 3 EP 4 "MY BARE LADY"

[@gxs3604]

I just wanted to say how much I respect you for being one of the first “girlfriends” to speak your truth. I remember how awful some outlets and people treated you when your first book was released. Watching Secrets of Playboy has been a hard watch. I really do believe you opened the door to these conversations and for victims to finally heal. It takes a lot of courage to do what you did while the puppet master was still alive.

[@SMRCEC]

Unfortunately people are still victim blaming, they (those victim blaming) don’t understand how abusive relationships work or control works. I agree, Holly was always so respectful with how she spoke about her experience and it was not for drama and just explaining her experience

[@gxs3604]

@@SMRCEC those people and their opinions are all irrelevant.

[@SMRCEC]

@@gxs3604 Oh very true

[@liveloveresell2886]

Definitely agree, super brave. I just watched Sandra theodore’s more in depth part of the playboy documentary and omg. I said to my husband, wow Holly paved the way for this woman to speak her truth. Her story had me in tears and I literally wanted to reach through the screen to hug her. I applaud you Holly 💖

[@nivee17]

@@liveloveresell2886 Sondra’s story had me in shock and tears too. Her last part where she talks about wanting someone to love her and not what she can do for them had be BAWLING. I HATE that she constantly feels like people want from her or that she has to give herself to people. That long lasting trauma made me cry so much for her. I was so angry after her episode.

[@Janna347]

I can’t wait for this!!♥️I have a video suggestion:) one day you should do a video showing your 2000s archives and the clothes you wore on girls next door:)

[@ohhhiyarea8872]

Yes I wanna know what you still have ....old Hollywlrd

[@Makeupchic747]

She already did

[@lifewithLaura1]

Yup, she did that already

[@mememmiaow]

Have a peep through her other videos because she did that not long ago 💖

[@ssimovie]

Holly starting to work at the playboy studio completely kept this show alive and interesting in my opinion. Of course the mansion stuff & the parties & trips with all 3 girls involved was entertaining, but home much longer could that have gone for? Holly working at the studio opened space for not only her individual storyline outside of being a girlfriend but for the other girls too.

[@lotoeb76]

That is so awesome that Paris was so nice to y’all. She looks so friendly and sweet. I love how the women were made to feel special and all dolled up with the playboy makeover. In my eyes you were always the *mom* looking out for the girls. Love you always Holly ! ❤️❤️

[@suetube8788]

JUST received my copy of Down The Rabbit Hole, I'm already 30 pages in! I've been revisiting The Girls Next Door along with you. It's crazy how much differently I view the show in my 30's as opposed to how I felt about it when it initially ran....apparently I'm not alone. Keep up the fantastic work, I'm always rooting for you.

[@heatherkastenmeier7530]

Holly's book was so good. I have read it twice now, couldn't put it down. I went back and re-watched the GND and it was interesting to see it in a different POV.

[@cunegonde4]

You’re the best Holly, I don’t know if it’s any consolation but you and Bridget are the bright spots in these episodes upon rewatching, I’m nearly 40 and you don’t know what it means to watch you dismantle the myth that I bought back then. I kinda sensed it but your standing up and rebelling means so much. You are healing a lot of the internalized hate I had for myself back then.

[@snakebbite]

omg yeah that shot of you in the vanity doing your hair is absolutely the most stunning thing in the entire series

[@Leroy88baby]

Looooved that episode! The model kind of gave Adriana Lima vibes like very sultry but also sweet and kind too. It was really cool seeing you do something creative and bringing the whole shoot together to a winning vibe. I always remember the "hint of a man" idea of having something in the background that would hint at masculine energy just cool how much detail there was 🙌

[@sarahfarrer4395]

Holly, you are getting so confident with your story telling and ease during these reviews. Love to see it❤

[@pinkbunnylover]

It's really interesting to hear you talk about Marilyn Grabowski as I just learned about her in A&E's Secrets of Playboy most recent episode! Your videos always provide a deeper look into the Playboy world that I find interesting! I also love the show on A&E, it is very heartbreaking and I'm proud of you for speaking up in it.

[@lizh4601]

I LOVED your involvement with the playmate pictorials - especially Tamera’s with the coloured drinks and DJ set. You had an amazing talent for it ❤️

[@shannakahoun585]

Thought it was coming out today 😭 guess ill go watch the episode to be ready for tomorrow 😊 After the secrets of playboy is finished airing will you do another video discussing your thoughts on everything from it? CRAZY stuff coming out there.

[@missmelaniesblackrosary]

Yes! I’d also love to see a reaction video once the current Playboy documentary is completed. ALOT of crazier stuff coming out. Love you Holly!

[@mollytennant9658]

I would like to see a reaction video also. For me it’s hard to watch so I’m sure it will be hard for holly as well.

[@amarrana2004]

Holly, please consider doing a reaction video for "Holly has a Baby" :)

[@intorainbowzOG]

I want to know the story about the pretty quilt she carried around. Who made it? Did Holly just buy it? Was it a gift?

[@ressablair8174]

This was always one of my favorite episodes!! You can see how happy you are doing something for yourself, something you wanted to do. The smile on your face when he approved was so genuine & beautiful! You were so happy and it fills my heart, you DESERVED IT MORE THAN MOST! ❤

[@annihilxte]

This episode was one of my faves so far because I felt like your creativity and personality really got to shine through. And Tamara’s looked so hot, mysterious, and all around gorgeous in those photos! I loved the club theming and the drinks you made, it was all so perfect and really set the scene and the mood. I felt like it had an entirely different vibe with your ideas and input being involved and I’m glad that you were able to do that and show how amazing you are. I also loved that you being there helped to make these girls feel more comfortable, that’s so great. You’re the best, Holly! ❤

[@mrs.catlady2423]

I would love to see videos about your experience as a first time mom with Rainbow. I’m 34 weeks with my first baby. How did you get your pre baby body back? What was your favorite baby items? Which items would you never buy again? Things like that.

[@rachelpage_]

Holly, hearing you reference the H3 Owen Wilson sound byte was wild. You have such excellent taste ✨

[@melbeauty0]

Can’t wait to see this one! You finally got to help produce a centerfold and it came out gorgeous!!

[@diamorefamily]

I always thought you did an amazing job and had a natural eye for being the HBIC at Playboy studios! Also, always loved Tamara’s look! Wonder what she’s up to today.

[@ericka6663]

Thank you for adding how celebrities were towards the girlfriends.

[@leahsolomon9437]

It's so awesome to see you live on you tube. It's like hanging out w a real friend.

[@lilyjade4738]

It's so bittersweet to see such strong and beautiful ladies like yourself stand up against the toxic and abusive men they've been with. I love these reaction videos where you're able to speak more candidly about what was really going on behind the camera. And I'm incredibly proud of you for speaking your truth so openly. You're amazing. Is there any possibility of you doing a reaction video for "The Secrets of Playboy"? I would love to hear your perspective towards other women like Sondra Theodore telling their stories. But I also understand that that might be too painful/emotional for you as well.

[@liveloveresell2886]

So nice to hear Paris Hilton was nice to you girls.

[@eveshupe2043]

I loved watching the studio episodes. You seemed comfortable and in your element. I'm so jealous your apart of Club 33! That's awesome.

[@Ellisif333]

Holly: I wish I could look like that everyday. Me: Girl, you totally do!!

[@ashley.weigelt]

I've always been obsessed with that still image picture of you by the vanity! Like my goal to look like haha. The lavender color of the robe was also soooo beautiful on you!! 💜

[@Debi_R]

I loved when it showed you working in the studio you could tell you were in your element and I absolutely love that for you.

[@eye.bubbles]

Omg love that you’re an H3 fan!!

[@michaeldickens7493]

Setting my reminder Holly Sondra was on the A and E inside playboy, it was crazy I feel bad for for you and those other girls. im glad you made it out ok . Love your channel

[@Ashas.Garden]

Wheeeeeew. That series is wild. All the stories coming at you shows the pattern; before just hearing them in dribs and drabs, i couldn’t see it.

[@jenlunceford]

When Sondra had the EXACT SAME story as Holly but in the 80s...I cannot understand how anyone can claim that he's not a monster

[@kittenishly]

At this time when I was young and watching the show and loved you girls, I also loved Paris, so I’m happy to hear she was nice. Still love her and you too, of course! Tamara was absolutely gorgeous. You did a great job with her. And I love that you had heelys 😂 really want some again now! You really do such a wonderful job with these reactions and sharing your insights 💞

[@CLWettstein22]

Holly, I'm so excited about your career episodes! Thanks for these.

[@liladuff5011]

Hi Holly. These videos are amazing. Loved the centerfold you directed in this episode. So pretty.

[@bigang869]

I love holly 😊 I could listen to her talk all day!

[@makeupdatewithjacki8959]

I'm a Capricorn too and I totally get what you're saying about coming alive when you're working!!

[@lauries5560]

You said you wish you still looked like you did, but you are still absolutely beautiful and stunning! I really enjoy watching you react to these episodes! I hope you continue doing this series!

[@jaydasellers2283]

Holly thank you so much for making content for us you make me smile everyday

[@aftonstjames]

You're so strong! I wish I had that right now with being abandoned completely by the father of the baby im carrying right now! I break down all the time. Its so inspiring to see how you've gone through so much and yet came out on top.

[@ericacruz8261]

3:26 Had a feeling that happened. But glad you had the opportunity ❤️

[@kaylheecarroll3186]

I think you're so courageous to tell the truth and I've been watching the documentary and I feel so bad for you and the other women who were treated so horribly

[@Laura-yd7ve]

I’m just a couple years younger than you and I look at some pics of myself from the same era (I watched the show when it aired) and I think wow I looked so good and so I know what you’re saying. Aging is so hard to cope with sometimes especially when you still feel as young as you did then.

[@iamtinaball]

This is funn‼️‼️ Thank you Holly🐯❣️

[@mischelsticka6958]

I absolutely love your book, down the rabbit hole and I just reread it again for the third time

[@10efowler]

You & B should do one of these videos together!!! It would be interesting to see what one remembers vs the other.

[@damoniqueg7205]

I really enjoyed watching you work at the studio! I loved all the centerfolds you worked on. You’re the reason I actually got a subscription. 🖤 And ended it when you stopped working there. Lol

[@ladydelahaye]

8:27 that it one of the many reasons I adore you . 💄 keep speaking the truth , standing up for what's right . I am personally very proud of you 🌻 and I had a great giggle 👠💄📿😂

[@itsclauds7554]

Holly it would be so interesting to know more about your real estate investing journey!! The fact you had a rental so young is super inspiring to me! Im 22 and closing on my first rental this month! Would love to know how you got started and if you’re still investing today

[@autumnamber8420]

Would you be willing to do a video where you show us the books in your library? I remember you saying you'd been shopping and picked up a number of old classics or something with really neat covers. I love the classics and books in general really and would love to see a collection of what you're reading these days! :)

[@stephenmartinez6726]

Watching the video and sipping my Diet Coke as you talk about Diet Coke had me cracking up

[@alexandral2085]

Props for the H3 shout out! 👏🏻

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

Yes, paper slicers are definitely still a thing! We have one at work.

[@jennaleesprad8595]

I’m thankful for the 1pm release and not 2pm lol. My lunch is always 1-2 and I’m always so bummed to go back to work lol

[@annikamarie97]

Why was I so excited to hear you're an H3 podcast fan?! Peace and love

[@rodentary]

I always like the split episodes cause they seemed more real and attainable or relatable. Like it was more like u guys were friends who had a life

[@mariahscarry]

These arw so fun to watch. Its like hanging out with a girl friend. Im a full time mom and have 0 girl friends. Your videos literally help me get thru life. I've had a lot gping on and you just...help. I want to thank you for that. Everyone has their *favorite* girl from the whole playboy scene, and as much as i know you hate being referred to like that's all you did, youre mine. I wish we were actual friends, BC we have a lot in common. Hugs to you.

[@OfficialHollyMadison]

💕💕💕

[@ct6852]

Glad you got a chance to get out some of that creative energy in more of a behind the scenes way. Seemed like a good fit for you. I'm sure you would've been an asset as far as keeping the girls comfortable and sexy and feeling good about posing. Pam and Tommy had an interesting scene tonight about her coming to the mansion to pose for a pictorial.

[@hoagybun4]

Oh my gosh - YES, the days of Diet Coke being the “smart choice”! I miss it too, I hear you Holly!

[@aaronxalapa]

Diet coke is not bad

[@lindsaysoroka9027]

This is why I’m addicted to Diet Coke nowadays because I always drank it back then thinking it was “smart”

[@phoebecross2244]

Holly referencing H3 podcast is literally my 2 worlds colliding 🥹💕

[@shawnclark2550]

I remember the girl in this pictorial and thinking how photogenic she was from pretty much any angle! I wanted to be gorgeous like you guys. It didn't happen. Lol 😥

[@liza8577]

Kinda want a lil story bout that cute lil vampire doll who always makes an appearance in your videos!! 💜💜

[@shawnclark2550]

I love the little vampire guy too!

[@paw2g]

Much respect to you Holly, love your honesty.

[@jmpsworld83]

They did make it look like Bridget didn't know what she was doing !!! Glad she did !! I thought you rocked the photo shoot layout !! You did good . 💐Also..im glad you had a place to go and get away from it all...

[@nicolee1991]

I have all the dvds I don’t like the season you guys left I won’t even give the twins and crystal the time of day . But I use to watch all your episodes and then re watch them with your commentaries 😍

[@annac780]

The fact that you referenced h3 podcast makes me so happy 🥹🥹

[@emileebryant9447]

Hello! Totally of topic from the video, but hope you got to see Josh at Epcot this year. I got to see him for two shows. Him and Ashley are my favorite Broadway group at Festival of the Arts.

[@OfficialHollyMadison]

I did!

[@88lakeshore]

can you maybe do a video about rental properties and how to get started?

[@Dav3yduck]

Holly did you get to work at the studio even when the show wasn’t filming, or were you only allowed to do that for episode content? Also have you continued editorial work after leaving the show?

[@OfficialHollyMadison]

Yes I worked there full time and continued for a while after I left the show

[@ladydelahaye]

Awwwww momma just saw the tik tok award shot . Perferfect song . YOU DOLL ARE A STAR 💄🥂🍾💚

[@ryanpegoraro2697]

Hi Holly so excited can't wait and i just absolutely love your videos so much you do such an amazing job love you.

[@marymcclure5561]

Reading your book right now and loving these inside looks on the GND episodes. ❤ you for doing these. 😊

[@donnathon8179]

If you do a follow-up on the your reactions to the A&E Playboy documentary, can you tell us if you reached out to any of the women after hearing about their experiences?

[@darkwavediva4057]

I love that you're a Starbucks girl like me. You always have it with you, in vids, interviews, etc. I keep hoping they'll bring back their smores Frappuccinos. Those were 2die4. The waffle cone ones weren't bad either. My regular daily Starbucks drink is an iced sugarfree hazelnut americano though. Save the super sugary, high caloric drinks as a special treat once a week or so.

[@gje3]

Love that you watch the H3 podcast!

[@Missy182]

Holly✨ I am very much looking forward to this video. Your video will make my Wednesday 💜🎉🎉🎉

[@AdrieCruz]

Officially caught up with all of your reaction videos! So glad I seen you on kardashian_kolloquium I remember being obsessed with GND when it first came out! Now I’m diving back in, wish y’all received royalties lol. Much love 💕

[@magicandriches]

Holly, I'd love to hear your thoughts on Pam Anderson. I'm loving this new show with her - and I remember really idolizing her as a kid. But I don't feel like there's been much about who she really is.

[@carlapsalms2334]

"I'm so excited!" Need a clicker for when you or Bridget say that when you're talking 😄❤❤

[@Misswriter84]

I always tought you look like Gwen Stefani, you haven't aged AT ALL! 🤩

[@chlothes]

i cannot get enough of these react videos! gotta love holly 🤍

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

Great video, Holly!

[@honestlyallison]

I’m a huge fan of your books and KZbin channel. I have been watching Secrets Of Playboy and was wondering if anything revealed on that series has changed how you feel about Mary O’Connor or Marilyn Grabowski.

[@jennifervandeusen4765]

Aww cool thanks for sharing! Love love love these videos. ❤️💕

[@blessedemily0705]

I have been watching hollys world and I would just LOVEEE to see commentary for Hollyd world!!!!

[@francesbaca8884]

Hope you had a BLAST 🥰 on your trip !!! Request please can you show how you organize your closet. Clothes , shoes 👞 purses 👛 ect... I ordered the cedar hangers yippy 🤪 Thank you 😊

[@jennycurran225]

Not me taking a sip of a Diet Coke as you mention it. But I genuinely prefer the taste over original Coke!

[@GennaLynBraun]

Hey Holly, I just saw some Eiffel Tower champagne flutes on the Bed Bath & Beyond website. I thought it might be something you'd like! Looking forward to the video on Wednesday xo #everdaysahollyday👑

[@brandygunter1421]

Holly ur a very strong woman I couldn't go through that

[@MermaidJen]

Holly, are you going to do Holly's World commentaries after GND episodes?

[@skatingsarah1996]

The really good shot of you getting ready is from your Marilyn Monroe shoot I think!

[@paw2g]

Holly, I'm kindof obsessed with that bed and the platinum color etc. Any hints on the brand/maker?

[@taylorchancer4361]

Love hearing all the bts at the shoots. Would you be able to talk about the playboy shoot scene in the most recent episode of Pam and Tommy? Was that shoot actually at the mansion?

[@Fuzzybabysnake]

Proud owner of a (way too small for me) vintage Blonde Mafia shirt 💕

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

Very interesting episode recap!

[@beckylg8176]

Are you thibking about reviewing Holly's World! That was a fun show especially when Josh found his birth mom that was beautiful and so many other wonderful moments!

[@asdfghjklpoi1529]

Watching Miki and PJ talk got me thinking if that’s how you and Bridget will be in 30+ years ❤️

[@jillianasyouwish8013]

This video is super timely because the last episode of the playboy series focused a lot on Marilyn and I remember seeing her in this episode. It's kind of weird to watch the truth and then watch this show back with the people on there

[@juneluna7202]

I'm just catching up on your videos (It is great to hear the behind-the-scenes of GND) but I noticed you usually wear the same necklace. It's super pretty! Is there a special meaning behind it? Maybe you mention it in a video I haven't seen yet.

[@OfficialHollyMadison]

It’s from my boyfriend

[@ptbogal]

What does the money symbolize on her door? Did you ask the story behind it ? 2:28 on the gnd episode

[@safepop]

Is she going to review the Playboy doc?

[@hyperactivelime9482]

Holly, they do in fact still make those paper cutters.

[@celefrioni6448]

Hi Holly! After the last episode of Pam & Tommy could you make a video talking about it? I think your knowledge about the mansion, the story, also like this one the shooting and some other stuff could be amazing for us to watch! Once again you're amazing girl! ( I follow you since I was 15 and now I'm 31 and we used to be 3 friends that watch GTN, and everyone was called by the name of one of you girls, imagine who I was 🤣)
