I have done numerous interviews with magazines and newspapers.
[Want an autograph from Kym? Contact also rent a house in Lompoc, a town in Santa Barbara County.Īnd now I’m doing a jewelry line called Kym’s Designs. He is a friend of Hugh Hefner’s and a lot of Playboy Playmates. Now I have an autograph agent, the one and only Mr. I’ve been to a lot of promotion where I sign autographs I went to one huge autograph show in L.A. I was on two Playboy covers and worked for Playboy for quite some time. I wrote a book which made me only $20,000, and it’s no longer in print. In the ‘80s, I had a soft leather women’s apparel company, but even after I was 30 I was still getting a lot of modeling work, so I closed that down. I had a storage unit and I found some pictures. Losing a lot of my pictures was the hard part. But I did lose all the numbers and addresses of all my friends and fans from around the world. Material possessions are not worth crying over. I ran out of the house in slippers with my cat. My boyfriend Dan died of cirrhosis of the liver after 12 years and then my house-all my material possessions-burned up in the Montecito Tea Fire of 2008. It was cold and windy and the pay wasn’t much. They wanted a dozen girls out of the 40-50 who showed. A lot of the girls talked about this after the shoot. We all had been on many casting calls, so we knew a jerk when we met. The way he the choices made us feel cheap. made us all step forward, one at a time he eyed us up and down and said “no,” “no way,” “uh-uh,” “back up,” “you can go,” or “yes, step over there.” He was just sooooo rude in his way of casting. I was very tan at the time and my girlfriend made me a chamois swimsuit and I wore African accessories. No comment on that shoot.ĭavid Lee Roth… This guy lined us up wearing the smallest bathing suits we had and high heels on the top of a high-rise building in L.A. I was also one of the girls in the “California Girls” video-the Van Halen guy with the long blond hair. They said my red top stood out on screen. I was the third girl and I was new so I didn’t think I would even be seen in the video. Apparently something happened the blond girl on the set of “Sharp Dressed Man”. I had to have attitude in my dance style and be able to follow and learn new dance moves quickly. They had me dance with their choreographer. This time I was dressed to kill, the works… Next day a call came from my agent: I got a callback. I went home and told my friends there was no way I was going to get the job. Out came the beer and we started talking about everything-motorcycles, chili cook-offs, Santa Barbara…and we had mutual friends in S.B. Then I asked if anyone had mineral water-or better, a beer. They called my name and I met the boys in the band. I walked into the room and the girls me up and down, thinking, “Oh, she’s no competition.” I came so close to leaving, getting on the 101 freeway, and hightailing it home. Miniskirts, high heels, perfect hair, nails, and makeup. I looked in the window into the waiting room and there must have been somewhere around 15-20 beautiful girls. My voice, from the cold, made me sound like Kim Carnes. I had nothing in my car to wear, and my friends were on their way to work, so I had nothing in the way of cool clothing to wear within 30 minutes. I was wearing a T-shirt, jeans, and tennis shoes. I checked my machine in Santa Barbara and there was the casting call. Everyone started using three girls after (“Addicted to Love”). The girls are super hot.” The director was the first to use three girls in videos. I remember thinking, “Wow, I would love to do one of these MTV videos. She was one of the three hot ZZ Top girls. I recognized one of the models, a centerfold friend of mine, Jeana Tomasino. The first time I saw a ZZ Top video, I was in a club and “Sharp Dressed Man” came on. Kym was the second ZZ Top girl to opt for an essay rather than a Q&A-format answer. Her patience is certainly groovy, as it took me several months of trying to reach her before I knew she was on board. In I Want My MTV by Rob Tannenbaum and Craig Marks, ZZ Topper Billy Gibbons describes Kym as a “groovy hippie chick ” (page 119).
