Philly is famous for its passionate sports fans and Philly is also known for having some of the most beautiful women as well! I have been lucky enough to get to know one of Philly’s most beautiful and hottest one’s Kourtney Reppert over the past year. Kourtney is highly intelligent and has a realness to her that most women in her position can’t manage to hold on too. We were able to find common ground in our backgrounds, both being from the Philly area and both having lived in LA/Hollywood. Just recently as we were having a conversation on FaceBook, Kourtney was gracious enough to grant me an interview for TalkSportsPhilly.com.
Let me give you some background on Kourtney and her Sports Modeling career. Kourtney Elizabeth Reppert grew up in a small town in Leesport, Pennsylvania, which is about an hour from Philadelphia. Kourtney started to pursue a career in modeling in 2006 when people noticed and suggested she had what it takes to be successful. She joined ModelMayhem in 2007 and as her career started growing she started getting modeling jobs for companies and print advertisers.
It wasn’t long after that Kourtney got recognized as one of the Hottest models in the Philly area. Kourtney was designated Philly’s Hottest Flyer/Phillies Fan & Philly’s Hottest Blonde from the #1 Rock Station WMMR. She has been featured in Sports Illustrated & interviewed by top online sites like Yahoo.com & Maxim Radio! As her career began to blossom, she decided to take a risk and move to the big leagues of Hollywood, which has payed off nicely for her.
Keep an eye out for her on TV, because Kourtney will be on shows for both FOX and CBS coming soon!
Well now that we have the low down on Kourtney Elizabeth Reppert, lets get to the interview!
