TLM: Hello

KIMS: Hi

TLM: Now it is a venture that is seen only lately to be of much popularity in Cameroon, and I want to believe it’s also not very easy in itself. But why modelling?

KIMS:  modelling is face with challenges of all kind,is very competitive cuz you meet models from all around the world,but is something i have always love with a passion so is not like i was forced its all from within.

TLM:  So tell me, who are you?

KIMS:  Am Kellie B Kimbeng,am 22years of age and i am a cameroonian from the North west region,to be precised Nkambeng.I am tall 1m77 to be precised,dark in complexion and very diversed,especially with fashion.

TLM:  How long have you been doing this?

KIMS:  Three years(3)

TLM:  Generally when one looks at your style, what impression would you want that person to carry?

KIMS: I believe style has to do with being unique,which is what makes it worthy of being called a style.therefore anyone who takes a good look at my style will see something unique about it because i try to do things my way with little or no ideas from others.thus bringing out my uniqueness.

TLM: Like I said before, modelling is not very easy; I mean getting that inspiration, carrying on a particular look and the poses too. One would say it requires a skill in some kind of fashion/style. So tell me, how do you do it?

KIMS: Yes its true modelling is not easy because nothing in life itself its easy,so its all about your determination to do well what you have a passion for so all i do is put in my best through hard work to bring out the fashion/style in me.

TLM: Now I know it’s an industry with different kinds. So which do you do actually? Do do the runway or u just pose or both? 

KIMS: At first it was sticky poses,but now am into runways,I'll say both

TLM:  Have you ever been approached by a particular person, either in redress or appreciation of your photos?

KIMS:  wow...I have been approached by many and i feel encourage most at times,either they are appreciating my pictures or recognising and trying to make me out or liking my outfit but am getting use to with the fact that am seen as a public figure.

TLM: Now, when you do model, what is the motive you have? Or better still do you want money, fame or it’s just a passion?

KIMS:  I like the question,you know the conception we all have is working for the money,is a very vital roll,but one of my objective is the passion i have for my job,while fame is another.

TLM: How about working with photographers? I know it’s hard but is/are there any photographer(s) you actually enjoyed working with?

KIMS: Photographers are very talented.though not east working with them i find it very exciting cuz i get to learn too.i must admit i appreciate their efforts alot especially Kelly blaise Mr adrenaline and kamer finest Aliann Ngann, etc...

TLM: Now, the designs you portray, are they only Cameroonian and do you wear ‘’Cameroon’’ in your ordinary daily life or just professionally?

KIMS: Most of the designs i portray are Cameroon,I do wear Cameroon occasionally.

TLM: If it was not modelling, which will it be? Music, Blogging, Movie or Craft etc.?

KIMS: Craft

TLM: Anything you would do at leisure time?
