Kiena is a tall, skinny woman. Her legs are stick-thin and are accentuated by her four-inch heels. At five foot eleven (without heels) and 120 pounds, the 30-year-old could have been a supermodel if she had that body ten years ago. Her silky-black skin is aged from years of partying, but she wears her makeup well enough to cover any imperfections. From a distance, her appearance is striking, but if you look closely, you can see she has lived a tough life.
