Myspace Hot Girls No 1: Kim Loan


"I'm more than just a model; I'm a business woman with drive and ambition." -KimLoan

She wrote at myspace:

I am an average girl who grew up in a small and conventional town in Louisiana. To be raised by a conservative family who values traditions, life seemed to be fairly simple and to dream was a reality out of reach and not being able to work towards your dream became just a daily routine. At a young age, I witness my parents struggle so hard in life and yet earn so little, which has prompt me to set goals far beyond anyones imaginations in that little town. As hard as it was for me to sacrifice my haven, which I have called a home for many years, I have yet to learn about the hardships of life. I had to leave my hometown in an attempt to search for bigger and better opportunities. I found myself greatly involved in doing promotional works and absolutely enjoy it! Being in the business at such a young age and be perceived as somewhat naive, I had to be cautious of allowing others to take advantage of me or being manipulated by people who have been in the business longer. With such an abundance of work, my childhood life was non-existent. The pressure of working makes me feel as if I never experienced my teenage life, and at times, I feel as if life has unfairly burdened me with responsibilities beyond my age. Nevertheless, I feel fortunate to be given the opportunities to do what I do!

Growing up was never an easy task for me. As strange as it may sound, I did not have that comfort of having any girlfriends around. My height and weight had contributed to my feeling somewhat inferior to the rest of the girls who had this ideal slender body image. I felt like a recluse who had been excluded from many events that most teenagers go through in life. At one point, it ruined my self-esteem and my self-confidence faltered tremendously. They succeeded in making me feel so unimportant, but they have not tarnished my sense of self. Being surrounded with constant negativity, I took upon a task to fulfill my need of self-recognition and autonomy. I promise myself to take criticisms as motivational factors to achieving my aspirations. I was careful of selecting who my true friends are, and many times, I found myself being alone and handling ordeals on my own! It was hard for me to trust any girls that I ended up establishing closer friendships with guys than girls. This has helped me understand this male-dominated world. It has enabled me to interact and negotiate from a male perspective. So watch out guys, I know every step and move you make! =)

I have now instituted my promotional business in New Orleans for over nine years. I am constantly working on organizing and producing special events. My company, which is now known as D & D Media, LLC, has become a national phenomenon from producing events nationwide to establishing the infamous Psychotrance DJ Battle Competition tour. I am now situated in Houston, TX & Brooklyn, NY which has become my winter and summer homes! I just recently attained my commercial real estate license. I am now getting a step closer to making my dream a reality. Prestigious Models, as well as my media company, was originated in, New Orleans. I began my agency in 2002. It started out as a small car show, and I gathered many of my girlfriends to be the models for that show. Little had I known that it was a start of a wonderful experience for both me and my friends. I decided to take it up to a higher level by producing my first Exotic Imports Calendar! I was greatly astonished by its success! I feel extremely fortunate that it took off the way that it did, and I never expected for it to go this far! I am so grateful for the continuous love and support of my family, friends, and my fans. Without you guys, I would have not made it to where I am at today. You have given me a chance to live out my dream!!! In return, I hope to reach out and inspire others to not be afraid to dream and go for it, because dreams do come true! I know, because I am living mine! Always believe in yourself. With a little faith in yourself, you can accomplish your biggest dreams! Dont let anyone dictate your self-confidence nor let anyone dictate what you are capable of! I have learned through experiences that if you ever come up with an idea, as silly as it may seem, dont be afraid to pursue it. You never know what difference you can make or the impact you can leave on other people until you try! Dont be afraid to fail, because God would not give you anything you cannot handle!

She is perfect and elegant.

Dress for success


The guys in the lab coats are hard at work on your suit coats, and the results deliver new levels of comfort and class.

Science improving style? Yes, sir, and the future looks comfortable. Take the word of men whose lives depend on what they wear: U.S. servicemen. Recent army studies have shown that uncomfortable clothing can interfere with soldiers' short-term memory and mess with their reaction times. That holds true whether you're literally under fire or only metaphorically dodging grenades. Mark Newton of Gore-Tex brand calls it the comfort correlation: "The psychological and physiological states are inseparably linked." Here are new uniforms for the everyday soldier, judged by their wrinkle and stain resistance, moisture wicking, breathability, and comfort. Why not put every advantage to work for you?

The Job Interview
You flash the suit, they show the money
So it's your second interview for that position with the six-figure salary and the five-star office space. High-tension moment? Not really, if you can ensure that they literally won't see you sweat. The worlds of fabric technology and traditional tailoring meet in this slideshow. Perry Ellis and Hart Schaffner Marx are pioneers in using lightweight, high-tech fabrics that look cool, and feel cooler. Pair them with the Air Clifden split-toe shoes on this page, for the sole (and comfort) of a running shoe, and style straight from the craftsmen of Florence, Italy.

The Workday
If your clothes work hard, you can take it easy
Nanotechnology, the science behind Perry Ellis's Nanotex suit, works on a microscopic level--a nanometer is 3 to 5 atoms wide--to create fabrics that repel and resist stains. So there's no reason to cry over spilled milk (or coffee). Tip: Don't bust out a new suit for a big meeting; wear it a few times first, so you feel comfortable in it. The ease you'll display will encourage people's confidence in what you have to offer. For the rest of your body, remember that fit is as crucial to comfort as fabric. Brooks Brothers, for instance, offers body scanning that can deliver custom clothing to your door in 3 weeks.

The First Date
Underwear can seal the deal, or break it
After weeks of IM innuendo, she agrees to go out. Now it's time to look the part you've been playing electronically. That begins with the layer closest to your skin. The new Calvin Klein Flexible Fit line is made from 91 percent cotton and 9 percent Lastol XLA fabric, for better shape and stretch. Advanced fabric technology helps, but natural cotton is tried and true. In tests by the military, soldiers wearing cotton scored the highest on memory-related tasks--second only to those who wore nothing at all. Keeping your mind sharp and your body cool (nothing breathes like cotton) will make it easier to remain your charming self all night long--until it comes time to remove even the last layer. And as the last stitch comes off, your memory kicks into a higher gear, as the military has shown us. Good thing, too: There's so much worth remembering then, after all.

The Weekend
Kick-back cool
A weekend's activity--that mix of errands, kick-back time, and socializing--can stretch any man's ward-- robe. It comes down to versatile styles in fabrics that stay comfortable during every stop on the to-do list. "In the industry right now there's an enormous focus on improving the 'hand' of fabric--how it feels to the touch," says Maureen MacGillivray, Ph.D., a professor of apparel merchandising and design at Central Michigan University. Her colleagues have used thermal cameras and other technology to measure the "microclimate" between the body and clothing. Combine go-anywhere style with touch-me fabric--and make it moisture wicking--and you have this sweater from Zegna Sport. Your personal microclimate has never felt so temperate.
