Morning everyone! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! It’s 2011, and this year I’m GOING AFTER GREATER (my church’s theme for the year)! So I’m determined to do better this year, with school, my journalism experience and more! And ESPECIALLY with this blog! With the growth and attention the blog is getting day by day, I have to stay on top of my game on the real! Thank yall for sticking with me…
I have a spotlight to start off 2011! I present to you KIMMI-K, a plus size model doing her thing in the modeling world! Originally from St. Louis and now living in Nashville, Kimmi started modeling about 6 years ago. After facing rejection during a casting call on a fashion show, Kimmi became more determined to pursue modeling. After contacting a photographer and making a Model Mayhem profile, she booked a photoshoot with Chris Hollis. “Once I shot with him I knew this was something I wanted to do,” Kimmi said. “I kept going to casting calls, networking with other models, designers and photographers. I hired me a modeling coach, and that is mainly how I got started.”

When asked what she loved so much about modeling, Kimmi replied, “I love photo shoots where you can [portray] someone else. I also love runway shows. Nothing gives me a high like the runway or the clicking of a camera.” As I said before, Kimmi-K is determined to get to the top! Her doubters keep her motivated, as well as support from her family. “I also get motivation from women who tell me I inspire them to follow their dreams,” Kimmi said. “There is so much that keeps me working hard, and determined to get to the top.”
