Jenn Kathreen hails from Vancouver, B.C., Canada. Her family moved to California when she was just seven years old. As a youth Jennifer always fantasized about being as glamorous as the supermodels who graced the catwalk. She began modeling for a local clothing company in Los Angeles just after high school but took a break to pursue and obtain a Bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism. After graduation Jenn realized the job market for her field of expertise was lacking in opportunity so she put on her modeling shoes and went to work on making a career out of it. Jenn has dabbled in quite a few areas when it comes to modeling: glamour, promotional and commercial print; but her favorite by far is fashion, both catalog and runway. Her ultimate goal would be to work on a major ad campaign with Victoria’s Secret or Guess. With Jenn’s personality and charm we are sure that she has many more dreams that will be realized.

1.What’s your Ethnicity?

Caucasian (French-Canadian, Scandinavian, English and Irish).

2.What’s your zodiac sign?

Cancer

3.Where are you from originally?

Vancouver, B.C., Canada

4.What did you like most about growing up in the Vancouver, B.C., Canada?

I love the people in Vancouver and the surroundings are just breathtaking. When I go back home I feel like I can just breath. I often get lost in the serenity. Canadians are super down-to-earth and easy going. I make friends really easily everywhere, but it was much easier getting close to people in Vancouver. It was really difficult finding legit good-girl friends here in LA. I am not your typical catty, jealous, insecure girl, especially in this industry. I am comfortable with who I am and I am extremely trustworthy and just nice to everyone. I have a good group of girlfriends now. I’ve never had a problem making guy friends though…anywhere.

5.What kind of mischief did you get into growing up?

How much time do you have? I was a bit wild growing up. I was completely boy crazy and had many guy friends growing up who got into trouble. I think I missed my entire senior year. [laugh] I was really in to racing, surfing and really anything that gave me an adrenaline rush. After high school, I did a 180 and focused 100% on school.

6.What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done?

That’s a tough one. I flew to London by myself, not knowing anyone and stayed for a year. My mother went to London after graduating college on holiday and never came back. She met my father there and ended up moving to Canada with him (where he’s from). I wasn’t having much luck here in the states, so I thought I’d give it a try. I wasn’t as fortunate…or maybe I was.

7.What’s your favorite hobby and why?

I love to write. Whether it is a journal, a novel or an article for a newspaper (or a longwinded text message). [laugh] I love the freedom it allows me to express myself. Unlike most women, I have difficulty at times vocalizing how I feel and writing is my outlet, my salvation.

8.What’s your guilty pleasure?

Shopping! It is an outlet for me to blow off some steam and just relax and feel like a princess for a day. [smile] I am also a closet romance-novel junkie (aka porn for girls).

9.Who do you admire?

My mother. She is the strongest person I know and is my biggest supporter. I get my strength, intelligence, sense of adventure, passion and sense of humor from her (and my big boobs).

10.What’s one of your personal goals?

To do a lot more travelling and visit every Disneyland in the world. [smile] I also want to complete my PhD and officially become a doctor so I can take care of my family.

11.What do guys compliment you on the most?

Next to my looks, my sense of humor. I get that I am “entertaining” A LOT. I lure guys in with my sex appeal and win them over with my sense of humor. [laugh]

12.What’s your favorite body part on yourself?

My tiny waist. [smile]

13.What’s your least favorite body part on yourself?

Probably my bum, as I don’t really have one.

14.What do you look for in a guy?

A great sense of humor is a must. Someone who doesn’t take life too seriously. Sensitivity… Capability of being romantic. Someone who appreciates family. A great listener. Someone who can let loose and have FUN.

15.What’s the first thing you notice about a guy?

Hair color. I love dark hair on a guy…and nice eyes.

16.What’s your ideal first date?

Lots of laughter with some type of food involved (I love to eat). A touch of romance and lots of flirting. An amazing first kiss that leaves me wanting more.

17.What turns you on?

Accents (especially British), chivalry, respect, animal lovers, tattoos, a guy with an edge, a shaved chest. [wink]

18.What turns you off?

Narcissism, selfishness, negative/disrespectful attitudes, smokers and too much body hair. And guys who claim they’re not gay yet dress like it. [laugh]

19.What’s your biggest pet peeve?

Obnoxious chewing and animal cruelty.

20.Who’s your celebrity pass?

Robert Pattinson and Stephen Moyer.
