KittyDRhode

“I am a Pisces.. and most people call me Kitty, so I guess I am a catfish??”

^{More on that later!}

I have to tell ya’ll, when the wonderful GMA family chose KittyDRhode as the Featured Model for March, I was super excited! Kitty and I have been friends for around 8 years, so having the opportunity to sit and interview her, made me giddy inside! I think we both agree, we can tell you some stories! BUT- we won’t do that.. because, this is about her modeling career with GMA and not our antics on IMVU… I mean, erm.. nevermind. Angels…..

Kitty joined IMVU in 2010, then about a year later she started creating. Fast forward 12 years later, she joined GMA as a sponsor.  Eventually, she tried her hand at modeling, and apparently, she must have loved it because now, she is a VIP Model, and has been chosen to be featured based on her efforts as a model for the talented creators of GMA. Kitty says modeling within GMA is her first attempt at modeling…. Seems suspicious to me.. given how good she is, but we will take her word for it! When speaking with her, it kind of sounded like she had no intention of being a model at all…. But, she mentioned a friend was feeling down and so she decided to do an impromptu stream for her, collaborating with a couple of other people as well.. and then the rest was history! Kitty says she never thought she would enjoy being a model, but she really does!

Kendy: so now, you are a VIP Model, which is.. the best of the best in GMA.. and IMVU if we are being honest -winks-

Kitty has been a VIP Model in GMA for almost a year now. So, I thought it would be nice to know how she made that happen and what advice she has for other models wanting to advance to VIP level.

KittyDRhode: well, then we didn’t have a point system, now we do. but they look at poses, room selection, how the photo looks, if it showcases the products well, if there are any glitches, things like that.

Kendy: If someone joined GMA as a model and their goal is to become a VIP, what advice do you have for them?

KittyDRhode: take your time and do not rush things, do your streams, follow the guidelines and do not be late on them. have fun with your shoots. make it look effortless.

VogueInVu is GMA’s online version of a fashion magazine, in a way.  IMVU Creators can join GMA just for the Vogue experience if they want, and their products would be featured weekly, modeled by a VIP model such as Kitty.

KittyDRhode: Vogue is fun, you can show a sponsor’s outfit in a different way, like making a magazine cover or something like that. but then I also edit the vogue shots, so it’s a complete circle I guess, from start to finish.

Other than modeling, Kitty has other interests.  She is part of an MC (Motorcycle Club) on IMVU.. which is how we actually met! She says that has been pretty quiet lately, due to people being busy in real life and she also feels that genre on IMVU has died down quite a bit.  Kitty also used to be heavily involved with RP as a para rp’er.  She enjoyed coming up with stories for a character and playing them out.  Another thing that Kitty does is live radio Dj’ing. She hasn’t done a lot of that recently because work has kept her busy but she does still do it when she can.  Ok- Let me tell ya’ll… Kitty is an AMAZING DJ! I swear I am not biased! I have had her DJ for a few of my club parties on IMVU and she does a fantastic job! It’s always a lot of fun. -coughs- ok.. enough of that plug.

Kitty also really loves to create. Coming up with outfits, different colors or styles and even editing pics is a hobby for her, when she has the time.

Say what!?

During our interview, Kitty was making a few typing mistakes and she made a comment about being dyslexic.  Which she really is.. and so there is your random fact of the day!

Now, here is where the headline comes in..  I asked Kitty for an interesting fact about her.. and she stated “ let’s see. I am a pisces.. and most people call me Kitty, so I guess I am a catfish??”

I DIED LAUGHING! Very clever Kitty! She’s not wrong, technically…

Kendy: ok. how do you define happiness?

KittyDRhode: hmmm, well, happiness are my animals and my kids in rl. here, its my friends and seeing them happy. one thing I can honestly say is this. You can’t make anyone happy until you make yourself happy. so my family and friends do that for me.

Kendy: awww ♥ well said!

Kendy: what is the best piece of advice you have ever received?

KittyDRhode: The answer will always be no, unless you ask a question first. so never be afraid to ask a question.

Kendy: love it

KittyDRhode: its valid advice, you won’t know an answer if you don’t ask about something.

Kendy: true!

I always ask, “What do you value most about the GMA community” and the answer is always similar from person to person. Here is what Kitty had to say…

KittyDRhode: The family feeling. Like I have lots of brothers and sisters. there are a few that are closer than others, cannot help that, but if any of the GMA family needed anything, I would step up to help if it’s in my power to do.

Kitty is an amazing person. If you do not know her, get to know her. She is super busy in real life, but somehow manages to model and create and recently she took on a role, along side me, as Executive Assistant to AngeliteGreyson, GMA CEO. Ang has her hands full with the two of us, but don’t tell her because I don’t think she realizes that yet! 

Because I have known Kitty “forever”, I can attest that if you ever need anything, just ask! She is full of knowledge and advice and will happily share either with you.

Make sure you check out her Instagram and IMVU feeds to see what she is up to! You will be pleasantly surprised, I promise ♥
