Melissa Anne Teixeira is an American fashion model and actress who is widely known by her nickname "HemiGirl". In July of 2009, she caught the eyes of the Howard Stern show, and was invited to do an in studio interview, where Howard declared that Melissa was a "HEMI aficionado" because he was floored by her knowledge about the HEMI engine & the automotive industry. Teixeira was crowed as a "Miss Howard TV" for the month of August, where she presented all of the up and coming episodes on Howard TV (iN Demand). From there, Teixeira frequented to NYC, as she sat along side Ronnie Mund, [Howard's limo driver], and co-hosted his show called "What's Your Problem", a show that evolved around the automotive industry. Teixeira expressed an extreme knowledge about cars and the automotive industry making the show entertaining to listen to, until JD Harmeyer revengefully cancelled the show about a year later, due to an argument with Ronnie [Mund]. Melissa later went on to shoot with Playboy in 2009 and appeared in the Playboy Cyber Club under NYC's "Top Ten" girls under the alias "Hemi". She was later hired by Mopar Collectors Guide to host the "Mopars at the Mansion" party in October of 2009.

In early 2009, Teixeira became a staple of the sports sections of newspapers from around the world due to her short involvement with the Lingerie Football League. She first started out with the league in New England, as the New England Euphoria's star quarterback. The team was only assembled for just a few months before it folded and was transferred to New York. Teixeira was then traded to the New York Majesty, where she found herself in a whirlwind of controversy and publicly resigned from the league after appearing on Fox & Friends LIVE. The league quickly reacted to her public departure by sending her a cease & desist.

In October 2008, Melissa appeared on the popular mixed martial arts reality TV show called TapouT on the Versus network as a model for TapouT clothing. This was her first appearance on a reality TV show where she let her presence be known in the world of MMA and UFC.

In 2006 Melissa appeared as a guest on the Hillman Morning Show on Boston's rock station WAAF 107.3/97.7FM to be nominated as a "Miss Mantown" girl. She later went on to appear on the cover of the 2007 Miss Mantown calendar.

In late 2007 Melissa became the face of Ed Hardy, walking the runway for Ed Hardy Fashions along side celebrity scissor wizard Adam Saaks. She worked for Ed Hardy for two years before modeling for various other brands.

Recently Teixeira appeared on Animal Planet's "HillBilly Handfishin'" as a participant of the show, where her best friend [another model] was hit in the face by a flying carp.
