Interview By Carter Jung
Not to sound like Captain Obvious, but Kathy Gardiner is incredibly hot. Don't get us wrong, we are 2NR and all of our cover models are ravishing--okay, so there were one or two in our ten-plus years that were on the debatable list--but Kathy is ultra-smoking, leave-blisters-on-your-opposable-thumb hot. Don't believe us? Well, what about Maxim magazine? In all their printed wisdom, she isn't just a hottie, but a Hometown Hottie, ranked fifth in all the nation. In fact, she's so damn fine, Hankook Tires just courted her as one of their new spokesmodels. We, on the other hand, just want to court her.
So you're an army brat?Yes I am, and literally a brat too! [laughs] I'm an only child and my dad says he spoiled me with too much love, which is why I'm a brat. But thanks to him, I am also very grounded and humble.
Did you move a lot while growing up?
Yes! I've lived in Germany, Italy, Korea, and all over the United States. I loved the traveling and diverse education, but it was bittersweet at the same time because I would make friends and then have to move... to this day, I still think about some of them.
How was it growing up on an army base?
My dad always had cool cars. In Germany, he would take me for rides out on the Autobahn. I also remember going to a nude beach in Italy--it was pretty cool seeing hairy, naked women at five years old.
Are you into hairy men?No... only hairy women. [laughs]
Nice! I think. Besides hairlessness, what do you look for in a guy?
I don't have a type, but I would say a great sense of humor is number one, honest and loyal second, and he must love dogs!
Don't forget: must love hairy women.
[laughs] Yes!
With all the constant moving, how did modeling come about?
I was in New Orleans partying one night, and a girl in black angel wings approached me and asked if I ever thought about modeling. I said sure, so I met with her agency and ended up shooting for several magazines and a few ads for boutiques in Louisiana.
One day after a shoot, the photographer suggested that I send my photos in to Maxim's Hometown Hotties contest and I ended up getting into the Top 100. Some time afterwards, I got a phone call during work and it was Maxim, saying that I made it into the Top Ten and invited me to the shoot in New York. I ended up Fifth and it was pretty much a go after that. A few years later, I did a movie and was inspired by my best friend to move to Los Angeles, which is where I am now.
Have you done a lot of acting since?
When I first moved here, I did a couple of small things like a speaking role on Entourage and Deal or No Deal as a model. Currently, I am working on an independent film with my friends called Promised Land that I'm really excited about. I've been working on it for a while and it is turning out to be bigger than we thought.
During Deal or No Deal, did you have a chance to meet Ursula Mayes?
Of Course! She's a halfsie like me. In fact, she's half Korean too.
Besides your involvement with Hankook Tire, are you in touch with your Korean side?
I love kimchee and bulgogi!
