What is Lafawnduh's background?
LaFawnduh is seen as sort of seductive with a city background. Her looks also made Kip change the way he looked and acted, though she did not force him to do this, he did this of his own free will to impress her. Lafawnduh is a very kind and gentle person who is often seen smiling. She is also interested in hip-hop, makeup, fashion and dresses very feminine. She marries Kip in the end.
Where is Lafawnduh from?
LaFawnduh is originally from Detroit. She met Kip through an online chatroom, where he was "talking to hot babes all day". She sent him pictures of herself, though only of her face, not a full body shot which had Kip "really kind of "TO'd". Kip would send her his poetry.
Does Lafawnduh appear in the TV series?
Oddly, LaFawnduh does not appear or is even mentioned in the TV series, even though Kip had married her. Kip appears in the TV series just as he did before he met LaFawnduh, without his "street" clothes and with his wimpiness. Jared Hess has stated that the series takes place before the marriage, but after Pedro's election.
How are Kip and Lafawnduh different?
Kip and LaFawnduh are clearly different in just about every way, but she's able to rather easily adapt to his life, just as he adapts to her's with new clothes. It's actually quite touching on some level, but since Kip was also bragging to Napoleon about "training to become a cage fighter," we're left to wonder: what exactly did Kip tell LaFawnduh about himself to get her interested in the first place? This was 2004, so catfishing as an online phenomenon wasn't what it is now, but still, did he really lead off with being an unemployed potential cage fighter who lives with his grandmother in Idaho?
Is Kip married to Lafawnduh?
It becomes clear, particularly for Kip, that neither of them is all that great at selling these things, and yet when LaFawnduh arrives in town, Kip takes her out for prime rib, and then manages to get on a bus back to Detroit with her. Two months later, the two of them are married.
Personality
Kip is soft spoken gentle man who loves technology. What he wants to be is in contrast to what he is. He is training to be a cage fighter and seeks out training at the Rex Kwando martial arts DOJO after seeing an ad on television.
Background
Kip is 32 years old, but he still lives with his grandmother, along with his brother, in Preston, Idaho. Before Uncle Rico came along, he would usually stay inside the house chatting with people, or "babes" as he calls them, on the computer. He meets LaFawnduh and thinks she is his soulmate.
Relationships
Kip has a very positive relationship with Uncle Rico. He is happy when he finds out Uncle Rico is coming to look after them, he enjoys Uncle Rico's movies, and finds it funny when Uncle Rico hits Napoleon in the face with steak. Uncle Rico returns this positive vibe, by starting up a business with him.
