Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the baddest ass chick of them all?

That’s what everyone was asking on August 26, 2011.  Who would become the Queen of Hell?  The new Wicked Princess or an official Hellion?  Spawned by photographer Jeremy Allen, it was an idea that took off quickly.  Hell On Heels: Battle on the Runway was a rock n’ roll style pageant that raised money for the Columbus Youth Guild. 
 

Jeremy Allen said, “I was at the Laundromat one night, and they had America's Next Top Model on TV.  Seeing how serious everyone was, I thought it would be kind of fun to do an alternative beauty contest.  One where the atmosphere was much more relaxed, and giving away a couple serious prizes with some ridiculous ones thrown in; like a half burnt candle, Pop-Tarts, and an autograph from Kevin Kurgis (our phone calls to get his autograph were not returned). I approached Stacia Gorsuch, Mike Neider (Mad Shiva Entertainment / Slaves of Shiva / Saturday Night Pillow Fights), and Jeremy Borden (Psychosomatic Films) with the idea, and it started to grow from there. Mike got the venue, got another band interested in playing the event, and has been promoting the hell out of it. Stacia came up with the name, designed sashes and the winner's crown, and has been coordinating the event.”  Eyes Stained Black and Slaves of Shiva provided some hard rock for this rock hard pageant.

In this pageant tattoos were not only   welcomed, but encouraged!
