    Her Modeling Career Is Going Strong

    She started her modeling career at the age of 14 in a Forever 12 campaign. And now it seems like Kendall is one of the hottest girls around. She's done shoots for OK! magazine, Teen Vogue and along with Kylie, she's a Style Ambassador for Seventeen. In 2011 Kendall overcame a major fear and talk her first stroll down the catwalk for Sherri Hill in New York City. She has her sites set high, too. She recently told E! Online that she wants to be the next Gisele Bundchen.

    She's Moving in to Acting

    Earlier this year, Kendall told E!, "I would love to be in a horror movie or a horse movie." Although she hasn't lived out either of those fantasies quite yet, she is managing to dip a toe in the acting waters - on the sandy beaches of Oahu nonetheless. Kendall was recently cast in a guest starring role on "Hawaii Five-O," playing a sales assistant. Can a fright flick with Flicka be far behind?

    She's into Fashion Like Her Big Sisters

    Kendall and Kylie continue to follow in their big sisters' footsteps - this time by launching their own clothing line. As Kim, Khloe and Kourtney's lingerie collection hits stores, the two youngest siblings have tweeted their big news. As Kylie announced on Twitter, "Finally we can officially announce our clothing line coming soon <3 can't wait for everyone to see. We have been really excited by the creative design process from the start because we love fashion, and we can't wait to share it with our fans!"

    She's About to Become an Author

    With everything else on her plate, Kendall is taking time out with her sister Kylie to pen a novel for young adults. The new young authors are working with writer Maya Sloane on a futuristic science-fiction story about, what else, two sisters. If all goes well, this will just be the first in a series a la "Harry Potter" and "The Hunger Games."

    She Loves to Be Entertained

    There haven't been any rumors of a singing career in Kendall's future but give her time. For now she seems to just be a major music fan. She's constantly tweeting about tunes she's listening to and she has very eclectic taste - from Stevie Wonder to Adele to J-Boog. But when it comes to her ideal choice to ring in her special day, Kendall recently posted her desire for a good laugh, "the perfect bday present for me = tickets to a Kevin Hart show."
