Monica Starr is a true country girl, born and raised in Kansas growing up farming corn, wheat, milo, and sunflowers working on her family owned and operated feedlot. Monica loves hunting, fishing, and riding horses. Monica had a passion for horses and hardly a day went by that she didn't go riding. The competition bug bit her at the young age of 10, and it led her to showing and barrel racing horses.

Growing up, Monica was a tomboy at heart, and it showed. You would never find her inside playing dolls or playing house. Monica liked to be outdoors getting down and dirty. Even today, you will find her outside most of the time. She still loves to hunt, fish, ride horses, and you may even find her racing cars from time to time. Monica loves to frequent the race track. She loves to show support to her favorite Stock Car driver, #25KO.


Monica competed in sports such as track and volleyball in highschool. She even went on to coach Jr High track at a small school in Kansas. Now that is one tough chic with true beauty, strong will, and good heart. Monica is very energetic and outgoing and it shows just hearing her voice. But, our cowgirl left the farm for the big city. After going to college at Fort Hays University and Colby College, she realized that she wanted more in life, so she got certified to become a personal trainer and moved to Baltimore, Maryland.

While working the fitness rounds, another sort of competition bug bit her. She soon discovered the new NPC Figure division. Meet Monica Starr Cowgirl gone City. Monica competed in NPC Figure for four years, and got into fitness modeling. It's been a whirlwind ever since! However, Monica missed the small town life and headed back to the Land of OZ. Did she use her ruby red slippers? We may never know, but she went back to her home town to be closer to family and lead a quieter life.

Today, Monica is still personal training and doing fitness modeling. When she is not being made up for the camera, she is working on her family owned farm and ranch with her Dad, brothers, and Grandpa. They have a feedlot with close to 1,500 head of cattle in it, and they farm close to 5,500 acres of land. Monica stays pretty busy with that, but still manages to find time to model for magazines such as Muscle Mag, American Curves, and Planet Muscle. Monica likes the small town life. She travels a lot with shoots so she still gets to see big cities. This City/Country girl gets the best of both worlds.
