Jessica Kinni competed for the love and attention of rock musician Bret Michaels on the VH1 reality series Rock of Love 2. She created the "Catwalk for the Cure" fashion event to raise money for breast cancer. It was designed in honor of her Aunt Darcy Majors, who died from the disease. Her initial brush with reality television came with her appearance on Project Runway.
VH1 reality show Rock of Love 2 followed Poison lead singer Bret Michaels on his search for love among 20 women vying for his affections. The show was set in a six-bedroom mansion in the San Fernando Valley. Each episode found the women competing in various challenges including making a music video, building a custom motorcycle, and performing in a "peep show contest." Challenge winners received private time with Michaels, trips and presents. Those who failed to impress were sent home.
