Kimberly Rae Miller does not at all enjoy long walks on the beach or getting caught in the rain. She does however adore Hooters (the restaurant, people!), Freddy Kruger, and pretty much anything having to do with fundamentalist Mormons. Kim, a sarcastic wench with a heart of gold, is a real-life New Yorker who currently resides in Brooklyn. When she isn't working as an actress and comedian she works for one of the nations leading nonprofit health organizations. Like everyone else in the entire world, Kim writes a blog, about food no less! You can check out her ramblings at Food For Thought. Kim can be seen performing improv regularly with the Hebrew School Dropouts. She spends more time at wax museums than is socially appropriate. Wax museum rehab has been recommended, but she says, "No, no, no!"                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Subscribe to Self for Just $1 an issue.
