Karin is a striking 40-year-old Swede living in California who describes herself as ‘kind, creative, analytical and dedicated’ (especially to her cat, Elvis, who is very supportive of her new adventure). A self-professed ‘tom boy,’ Karin never pursued modeling, instead choosing to focus on a career as a lawyer, and later became a writer and bass player in a rock band. Karin defines beauty as ‘inner and outer grace,’ ‘integrity’ and ‘style.’ Although she’s not sure what her best features are, she admits she likes her legs ‘from the knees down’ and her ‘small ears.’ She’s proud to have overcome her ‘extreme social shyness and awkwardness’ enough to explore new avenues and is now ready to reach her potential. Karin says Linda Evangelista is her favorite model, and she thinks she’d make a great model because she's easy to work with, has stamina and can transform herself as necessary.
