Crank up the tunes bro! Los Angeles native and standout in COED’s Amasian list Grace Kim is Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for November 2008.

Not only is Grace a 919 on COED’s Area Code Rating System but she’s nerd-dream revealing in the November issue, which is on magazine stands now, she is a Guitar Hero fanatic.

After graduating with a English degree in 2001 from UCLA, Grace discovered the love of her life – Guitar Hero – and hasn’t stopped jamming since.

On her favorite song, “Paint it Black” or strumming a “slow and sexy” rendition of “Maps,” Grace takes rocking-out very seriously. “I play a mean game of Guitar Hero, and I’m willing to challenge anybody,” she says. “I must warn you, I’m a sore loser!”

Grace’s passion for the game soon transitioned into a career as a publicist for Red Octane, the publisher of the franchise.

Shortly after, she was personally contacted by Playmate scout and assistant photo editor, Holly Madison. “I sent in pictures just to attend the Halloween party,” explains Grace. “The next day, I received an e-mail from Holly asking me to come in for a test shoot.”

And the rest is history, people – by history I mean we can head down to the local corner market, buy the latest issue of Playboy and see Grace naked for the first time- thanks Holly!
