She's ethereal and spiky and funny and sharp
as tacks. Stella, AKA Kim Beth, is a riot grrl who fronted Android
Ginny and Stella Rampage (and is hatching a new band). The prior
life as a professional clown can't hurt. Kim's gigs in publishing
led her to the Web in the late 1990s, giving her geek cred alongside
fellow travelers Cia and Molly.
While contemplating the personal road that brought her West, Kim
says, "I feel as if I escaped." One thing we know about Kim: She's
not waiting around for those who don't get it once she's explained
it nicely. Bravo.

for something out West, and Tucson reined me in. I love it here."
BORN IN:
"Fayetteville, Arkansas."
