Bianca, Blare and Sharon went on to form Betty Blowtorch
in 1998, and word spread immediately about their explosive live shows. This caught the attention of Guns 'N' Roses bassist;
Duff McKagan, who would later produce the girls' limited-edition EP Get Off. I might add that during this time, the girls
of BB added newcomer Judy Molish to the line-up as the out of control drummer. The band was now complete. So, what was next
for this fearless foursome?! But touring of course!!! The band toured extensively and, in 1999, was signed to Foodchain Records
who released their first full-length in-your-face debut album, "Are You Man Enough?", in June 2001.
Onstage, Bianca was the goddess
of rock. She could do no wrong. She captivated both male and female, striking rock poses that only she could get
away with.
She was an instigator of fun both on and off stage. Her tours included
pie-throwing free-for-alls on the highway and truck-stops as well. She lived to perform and make people happy.
The ink that adorned her body became the pictorial of her many tumultuous
relationships. She literally wore her heart on her sleeve, and her chest, for that matter! Her infamous signature
"Dixie Cup" piece represented her vulnerable heart that she felt some people had treated as disposable.
