LOS ANGELES—The cam model known as ImperialKiss tells AVN her past life as a bartender and business owner “taught me a lot about people and myself.”
“To hold compassion for everyone as well as patience,” ImperialKiss, aka Jennifer Grace, says. “It’s also taught me how to let loose, have fun, and be a bitch a little.”
And the good times continue to roll for Miss Kiss, who just enjoyed her best-ever month on MyFreeCams, finishing at #6 in the Miss MFC contest for May, marking her 11th time in the Top 100.
The California native says her top advice for aspiring models who also would like to make a living on cam is simple: “Be yourself!”
“Own who you are and work it,” she says. “Set boundaries and honor them. Always be kind to yourself.”
In this exclusive Q&A, the June 2024 AVN CAMStar discusses her time in Mexico, acrylic painting, playing Magic: The Gathering, her favorite tattoo and her biggest inspiration, plus much more.

CS: How do you use MFC Share? Which clips have been your most popular and why?
IK: I use MFC Share to upload all of my content. It’s a great spot for people to find everything I create. I would say my most popular videos are typically my JOI’s and other than that my clubs are very popular! I even make clubs in honor of my regular’s amazing creativity. Without them I wouldn’t have such a fun and lively room.
What are your hobbies or interests outside of camming? Outside of camming I tend to pick up hobbies right and left… my room often jokes at me about it. But I love life and always want to try new things. My main passions include painting and going to the gym. I also enjoy winding down by reading or playing Magic: The Gathering.
How long have you been playing Magic: The Gathering and how would you describe your skill level?
Not long! I got introduced to MTG in January and was instantly hooked! I would say I'm a bit better than a beginner but still pretty novice. Although I do have some decks I'm proud of and just built my first brawl deck as well. I think it would be so much fun to go to a convention at some point!
What kind of painting do you do—and what medium do you use?
I love hard edge & abstract art. I've been extremely influenced by artists such as Instagram artist Morgan Echols and Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. I use solely acrylic paint as my medium.
What kind of books do you like to read? What’s the last book you read?
Oh gosh, I'm currently reading about five different books. Definitely need to learn how to finish one before starting another, ha. The most recent one I picked up is The Journey of Souls by Michael Newton. Overall, I read a lot of different genres but I love anything science fiction or psychology.
Which tattoos are your favorite—or most meaningful—and why?
I would say my favorite tattoo is the snake on my right arm. Originally it was supposed to be the ouroboros but the design didn’t look quite right on my arm so we snuck the meaning into the tail. The tail is shaped as the infinity symbol and doubles over as the number 8. Which I love because the number 8 is my numerology number and represents abundance.
What is your most underrated attribute?
I believe my resilience and adaptability. I’ve never allowed anything to stand in my way and I’ve learned I always feel at home no matter where I end up in the world. I really admire that about myself.
What song have you listened to the most in the past month?
It would be a crime if I didn’t say “Lolita” by Elefant. But I have been recently stuck on “Rosemary” by Deftones.
What is something you’re grateful for and why?
The experiences I’ve had in life so far. Without them I wouldn’t be the person I am today.
Name someone who inspires you and why?
My aunt because she was a kick-ass woman who despite what life threw at her she made it beautiful.
Name two or three of your best strengths. What are you truly great at?
Communicative, independent, and open-minded. I’m truly great at connecting with people.
