Cherie Roberts (born December 8, 1978 in Oakland, California), aka Kitana Jade, is a model and photographer who worked with Playboy in the early-to-mid 2000s, modeled for numerous magazines and websites, and toured with Hot Import Nights car shows from 2000-2006[1].

Roberts was born to a father of Irish, British, German and Native American descent and a mother of Vietnamese, French and Chinese descent[2]. She was raised in San Jose, California with her younger sister and older brother. She was an exotic dancer in San Francisco when she was discovered by a local company to model for a bikini calendar. In 2000, Roberts modeled for several Playboy Special Edition issues, and created her own website which she designed and maintained on her own. In 2001, Roberts moved to Hollywood, California after she was crowned Miss Hot Import Nights 2001. She toured with the company for several years, making dozens of appearances across the US[3]. Roberts was featured in several import car scene DVDs and in the racing video game, Street Racing Syndicate[4]. She was also one of the early adopters of social networking site, MySpace, where her page quickly became one of the most trafficked pages on the site, establishing Roberts as an early MySpace celebrity[5].

In 2005, Roberts created a second website for her photography, and began actively shooting photography for Suicide Girls[6]. Since then, she is best known for shooting glamour and nude photography for several companies, including gaming sites UGO.com[7] and IGN.com[8][9][10] and alternative culture community site, EvilHearts.com[11]. In 2007, she shot a calendar featuring nude models and vintage video game consoles for a company called Nerdcore[12]. She followed up the 2007 Nerdcore calendar[13] with the 2008 Nerdcore calendar featuring nude models shot as superheroes and villains which Maxim magazine dubbed "The Sexiest Calendar in 2008"[14] in their February 2008 US issue. In 2009 and 2010, Roberts continued her work with Nerdcore by putting out a sci-fi themed calendar in 2009[15] and a horror-themed calendar in 2010[16]. In addition to her glamour and nude photography, Roberts has also shot various musicians and bands, including Puscifer[17] (solo project of Maynard James Keenan of Tool and A Perfect Circle fame), actress Taryn Manning, AFI (band) members Davey Havok, Jade Puget, and Hunter Burgan, The All-American Rejects, cast members from Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day (Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman Reedus, Clifton Collins, Jr., Julie Benz, and writer/director Troy Duffy), Serj Tankian of System of a Down, Kristina and Karissa Shannon of Playboy's The Girls Next Door, Puddle of Mudd members Wes Scantlin and Ryan Yerdon, Shwayze and Cisco Adler of MTV's Buzzin' (TV series), Wolfmother lead singer Andrew Stockdale, actress Caroline D' Amore, and musician Jordan Zevon, among others. Roberts' work is also regularly published in BPM magazine, in a monthly feature.

Roberts continues to pursue her photography career, write articles[18], and still maintains her websites.
