"This is DEFINITELY something!"
-- David Letterman

June 7, 2002 - New York - "Is This Anything?"
David Letterman seems to think so. Ever since her first appearance on "The Late Show" on May 15, 2002 Mr. Letterman & Mr. Shaffer can't get enough of her!

COMBUSTIBLE KIVA (also known as GRINDERGIRL) initially charmed the host of the popular late night variety show as the "Exotic Woman with the Snake." She continued to humor & seduce them with her sultry fire eating and now GRINDERGIRL has been making weekly appearances center stage on "The Late Show".

GRINDERGIRL is "Pinup Girl meets Superhero meets metal shop". You have to see it to believe it.

"It's unusual, it's odd, it's perplexing & it's wrong...BUT YOU CAN'T STOP WATCHING!"
