Early Life and Education: Growing Up in Kansas City

Across all authoritative sources, there isn’t any conclusive information about Kelsi’s upbringing, family or anything relating to her early life. The decision not to share any details about her private life was a conscious one, as she didn’t want anything to interfere with her modeling career. However, we do know that Kelsi owes her exotic looks and impeccable physique to her very mixed roots – apparently, she has Thai, Scandinavian, Armenian and Hawaiian roots, mainly on her mother’s side of the family tree. With such genetic predispositions, Kelsi realized that a career in front of the camera was her true calling.

Career Beginnings: Fighting for Her Place Under the Sun

Kelsi took up modeling when she was just 15 years-old, at the suggestion of her friends and family. Unlike most models who cared only about looks and fashion, Kelsi had a significant advantage. She played sports in middle and high school, which lead to her having an impressive physique at such a young age. Due to the competitive nature of the modeling industry, Kelsi wasn’t able to become internationally famous right away, however, this didn’t prevent her from investing Herculean efforts into getting noticed by magazines, websites and talent agencies. ‘I’ve done everything from print to advertising to music videos, I stopped at nothing because I wanted everyone to know my name!’, Kelsi once said. After several appearances in music videos, print and advertisements, she finally got the big break she was so desperately looking for.

The Next Step: A Photo Shoot Offer from Playboy

In 2016, Kelsi was moderately popular, which caught the eye of “Playboy Plus”. The renowned magazine, dedicated to topics surrounding lifestyle, pop culture and pornography, offered her a shoot – as they are always looking for fresh talent, the then-24-year-old Kelsi fitted the bill perfectly. Immediately after completing her first summer shoot for “Playboy”, she appeared in the September 2016 issue – her debut was so successful that she became the only debutant ever to receive the Cyber Girl of the Month award. Even though many people frown upon nude photography, Kelsi is a proponent of this form of art, as it can help people feel comfortable in their own skin. As a ‘strong and independent woman’, Kelsi adores the fact that “Playboy” celebrates female bodies, their sensuality and the uniqueness of every featured model.

From a Photo Shoot to Regular Collaborations

The first photo shoot went so well that “Playboy” had little choice than to hire her as a full-time Playmate. One of the main reasons for this decision is the fact that she is an avid fitness lover, which is evident when you look at her impressive physique that she has been working hard to achieve. Her appearance and lifestyle showed Playboy fans around the world that you don’t have to starve yourself to look good. Perhaps her most famous photoshoot was for Playboy Thailand, which occurred in 2017. This gig was more than just a job – due to her Thai roots, she was ecstatic to introduce herself to additional fans in a country where her ancestors once lived. With a summer vibe, the shoot featured Kelsi is a small, but stylish blue bikini. Added accessories included chains and other gold jewelry, which complemented her bronzed skin complexion perfectly.

Adding a Bit of Art to Her Photoshoots

Kelsi’s other significant contributions to Playboy include two fan-favorite shoots – “Garden of Secrets” and “Leather Bound”. These two appearances in Playboy Plus added to Kelsi’s already immense popularity, mostly because they are different than her usual frontal displays. In the “Garden of Secrets”, Kelsi traveled to Hawaii, which experience also meant a lot to her because she has roots on the Pacific archipelago. Hidden deep in the lush jungle of Maui, she posed in a pink tank top, again showcasing her impressive physique. “Leather Bound” was more of a homage to old school fetish photo shoots that Playboy is known for. Wearing knee-high leather boots and a latex jacket, Kelsi shone in a luxuriously-styled room; the series of photos was published in Playboy Portugal, and Kelsi also appeared in CWEN Magazine, a beauty and fashion publication, a feature on their Instagram page with 400,000 followers.

Although she wears a lot of streetwear and high-fashion brands in her photos, Kelsi’s most significant sponsorship is none other than Ruckus. This business relationship worked out so well that the young American model was even hired to appear on the catwalk, promoting several pieces of the RUCKUS SS17 collection, including a gorgeous white swimsuit.
