Kindly

It would be hard to spot a girl like Kindly Myers blending into the routines of everyday life, yet there she is—her presence a vivid splash of something rare and beautifully unbothered. The small-town drawl in her voice suggests roots as deep as oak trees, tied to the raw Kentucky soil, but Kindly has always been more than her birthplace. She is the embodiment of both grit and glamour, known best as a bikini model whose image has graced the pages of Maxim, Playboy, and FHM. Those pictures speak of confidence and allure, but behind them lies a resilience shaped by an early stretch in the Army National Guard and the well-worn shuffle of Nashville’s late-night bar scene.

Years ago, long before the thousands of Instagram followers and the glossy magazine covers, Kindly was serving her country, learning discipline and grit alongside men and women who couldn’t care less about magazine layouts. The uniform, the rank, the dust—it’s hard to reconcile with the bright, polished persona that we see today, but it’s as much a part of her as the curve of her smile or the sway of her walk. She wore the insignia proudly, and in a world where beauty and brains aren’t often given equal space, Kindly was proving she had the spine and resolve to endure. Those years in the National Guard left her with a sense of duty, with knowledge about inner strength, and a kind of quiet understanding that’s all too rare in her industry.

These days, she’s moved from the lines of duty to a different stage, making her mark across social media. Back when Vine was a playground for the eccentric, the funny, and the daring, Kindly could be found working her charm in short, punchy videos that didn’t need a script or staging. There, she built a loyal following, teaming up with creators like Charlie Classic and J. Cyrus, who tapped into her natural knack for humor and her ability to command attention with effortless charisma. Vine may be long gone, but that spark she showed hasn’t faded—it simply shifted platforms.

On Instagram, her image tells the story she chooses to tell, with bikinis, sunlit beaches, and the unapologetic confidence of someone who understands her own appeal. There’s an art to what she does that goes beyond the surface. Each post, each photo—it’s an invitation, drawing viewers into a lifestyle that feels at once exclusive and welcoming. The glossy world she offers feels almost cinematic, but Kindly knows better than most that life isn’t always cleanly framed in a square. Between the high heels and bikinis, she’s still as much the girl who laughs loud, leans into friendship, and never forgets where she came from.

But Kindly is no one-trick pony. At Nashville’s legendary Tootsies Orchid Lounge, she’s known not as the model but as the bartender who can crack open a beer with a grin and share a joke that leaves patrons grinning for days. Tootsies is a place where tourists and locals rub elbows, where the neon lights and live music drown out the worries of the world for a night. Kindly, perched behind the bar, is the ultimate ringleader in this dive of dreams. She pours drinks, swaps stories, and somehow, between it all, makes strangers feel at home. That bar, with its worn wooden floors and walls saturated in music history, has been Kindly’s anchor, a place where she’s free to be herself, beyond the flashbulbs and follow counts.

Yet, her heart stretches further than her personal pursuits. Through her work with Babes in Toyland and DreamCatchers Equine Rescue, she’s lent her face and her time to causes that reach beyond herself. In a world quick to categorize beauty and success as shallow, Kindly’s compassion defies stereotypes. Babes in Toyland is an annual event that gathers models and influencers to raise funds and toys for children in need, while DreamCatchers rescues horses and uses them as therapy animals for people who need their calming strength. For Kindly, these causes are more than charity—they’re a reminder of the privilege she holds and a way to make the world just a little softer, a little brighter.

And then there’s her loyalty to the University of Kentucky. It’s the kind of loyalty bred in hometown sports fans, passed down from generation to generation, where the Wildcats’ success or failure can turn an entire day. Like actress Ashley Judd, Kindly cheers on her team with the fervor of a true superfan. You might catch her at a game, living and breathing every play as though she were right there on the court, the pulse of the crowd beating in time with her own heart. It’s no coincidence that she backs her team with the same passion that drives her career—fierce, unwavering, and full of pride.

At 39, Kindly stands in a place few others do, at the intersection of beauty, experience, and fierce independence. The numbers beside her social media profiles may say one thing, but her followers know that beyond those stats is someone who’s a blend of kindness and tenacity, a woman who’s as comfortable in designer heels as she is in combat boots. Life has taken her from the fields of Kentucky to the pages of the world’s most recognized magazines, to the heart of Nashville’s vibrant nightlife and beyond.

In a world where many seek approval from others, Kindly has carved out her own space, one where her Southern roots and her bold career coalesce. She is, perhaps, a contradiction in terms: part small-town girl, part global sensation; part soldier, part siren; someone who moves easily between laughter and purpose. And whether she’s pulling pints at Tootsies, cheering on the Wildcats, or catching the light in a way that only she can, Kindly Myers is living proof that a woman can be many things at once—proudly, fiercely, and on her own terms.
