Kimber James's Modeling Jobs, Acting Auditions and Additional Experience

About Me: I would like to continue my career as a model, including trade show, promo, event, print, runway, fashion, artistic, editorial, erotic, swimwear, underwear, etc. I love doing shoots and runway shows that are "out of this world" - artistic and crazy, such as what Lady Gaga and Fergie wear. I love the crazy stuff.

I've strutted my stuff down runways, done photo shoots and even just gone out for a night on the town wearing just duck tape, lingerie panties with a long wig covering my nipples (or pasties) with crazy tights and shoes and even a leotard! (I'm from West Hollywood, where wearing such things is not just acceptable, but encouraged.) Whatever I am wearing doesn't matter because I am comfortable with my body and therefore wear everything with confidence and that's what makes it looks good.

I definitely have my own style coming from LA, mostly West Hollywood, The Grove and Beverly Hills - a style that definitely sticks out in Kansas City. I only own party clothes and suits/professional clothing. For example, I wear short sexy dresses (such as my tiger print dress shown in some of my uploaded pictures), costumes and wigs (I've even worn bathing suits and leotards out to clubs like I did and still do when I'm in West Hollywood, which was totally acceptable there but in KC it seems to be not so acceptable. On top of all the party clothes and suits I wear I have short, light blonde hair that recently was styled and cut into what is called a "pixie cut."

I have experience in all areas of modeling: print, runway, promotional, hosting events, etc. (even voiceover) along with a number of different genres of what it is I am modeling, including fashion, artistic, editorial, erotic, swimwear, underwear/lingerie, etc. I have worked for The Beauty Lounge (hair salon) as a runway, print, fashion, artistic, lingerie and video model.

I have also worked as a print model for The Beer Hotel of Los Angeles at the Four Points by Sheraton, The Beauty Lounge, Occidental College, Vive Bar and Lounge, Bar Celona, and Prophete Promotions, just to name a few.

In addition I have also worked as a promo model for such companies and products as Sprint during the Sprint NASCAR Series, Red Bull, Tecate, Monster Energy Drink, Bud Light, Mountain Dew, etc.

I was also in a web video for The Pantorauge and worked as a print, web and commercial model for a law firm.
