Oh, that Kim Von Martin – with her sexy name and exotic good looks. Oh, and her jazzy website with the steamy photo galleries, videos and assorted goodies. There's even the Mobile Slam feature, which allows visitors to convert exclusive images into personalized mobile phone pictures to use as wallpaper. The 23 images presently in the gallery waiting to jump all over your cell phone are fantastic, let me tell you. There's so much more about Ms. Von Martin; her career, website, future endeavors, etc. Which is precisely why I engaged the Miami-based beauty in a little tete-e-tete to get the lowdown.There's also a hot photo gallery attached, so be sure to indulge.
Tripp Daniels: You have so many amazing photo galleries on your site. I take it you love to be in front of the camera?
Kim Von Martin: I'm sometimes surprised at my images, is that really me? I love taking pictures and getting dressed up like how little girls do when they play dress up.
TD: How long has kimvonmartin.com been around?
KVM: My site has been up since 1999 and it was just redesigned by a friend of mine. My new site has been up for 5 months and the new design is more of a reflection of me.
TD: How involved are you in the daily operation of your website?
KVM: I'm always answering e-mails, searching the internet for guest models on my site, promoting my site, my journal, my keen chat, my auction page, sending my weekly pics to my webmiss, thinking up new ideas how to improve my site and etc. That's only my half and my webmiss updates my site 4-6 times a week.

How often do you shoot content for your website?
KVM: I shoot 1 or 2 times a month for my site. I normally have 10-12 outfits to shoot in a day.
TD: What makes for a great photo shoot?
KVM: Being prepared with all your accessories and makeup. Photographer on time and hopefully the lighting is right. Plus, plenty of sleep the night before.
TD: What is it about your studying of law that you enjoy so much?
KVM: I love to debate, love to do research and find out the facts. It's like a mystery novel, finding out the truth.
TD: Better legal drama: Law & Order, L.A. Law or Perry Mason?
KVM: Being honest, I guess L.A. Law but I normally watch People's Court or Judge Judy.
TD: What inspires you?
KVM: Doing something that gives you meaning in life, friends that you can count on, being financially secure, and having an interesting job.
TD: What career goals do you have for yourself? And, have you thought about what your next endeavor might be post-modeling?
KVM: I always set a lot of goals for myself. My resolution this year is to go with the flow. I don't want to answer what my goals are because I'll drive myself crazy trying to accomplish it this year and then I will break my 2005 resolution. I'm traveling to LA every 2 months to shoot with variety of photographers, doing DVD's that I have never done before, and experiencing new things that are coming my way in the modeling world.
TD: I read that you are a 3rd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Have you ever really walloped someone?
KVM: I wish I could say no. I don't believe in fighting but I had to defend myself a couple of times. Someone who mistaken me for someone, protecting friends of mine and other childish acts. But, my mom put in martial art to protect myself because she knew I would have problems when I got older.
TD: Do you have a nickname?
KVM: I do have a nickname. It's called SLAM. I just added a new page on my site called Mobile Slam. It means sexy like a mother f---er.
TD: Is there a special talent you wish you had?
KVM: I wish I could sing. Everyone always tells me I have a deep voice and I sound like Demi Moore or sound like someone in broadcasting. .
TD: What's your favorite time of day, and why?
KVM: I love the day. I love the sun beaming on my face and beautiful colors.
TD: Three items you can't live without?
KVM: My phone, my toothbrush, and my computer.
TD: Favorite curse word?
KVM: Jackass!
TD: Describe yourself in one word.
KVM: Unique.
TD: When was the last time you kissed a girl – on the lips?
KVM: 4 days a go I kissed my godchild on the lips. She's 4 years old.
[Editor's Note: Not really what I was hoping for (see: other model, rolling around naked and kissing)]
TD: If you could travel to a tropical island with one person, who would it be?
KVM: I would probably travel with one of my girlfriends because I know we would have fun shopping, hanging out and sight seeing. No stress! I have no man in my life so no one comes to mind.
TD: Describe the underwear you have on.
KVM: Sexy lavender and black lace Brazilian Victoria Secret panties.
TD: If you were going to hit on me, what technique or special talent would you use?
KVM: I would move next to you and see if I got your attention then I would tell you that you had a beautiful smile while I was looking into your eyes. Does that work?
[Editor's Note: Yes...yes that works very well.]
TD: Tell me a newspaper headline you would like to read about yourself one day.
KVM: People who said, you can't have everything Kim Von Martin has it all! A family, being financially secure, being in love, and loves her job. That's what I would like to read about myself one day.
