Kimball also appeared in a Candie's commercial with rock legend Pat Benatar. Of this experience, Cheyenne said in an interview:

They offered for Pat to do the campaign. She’s never used her music for any type of commercial. She was very iffy about it. She didn’t want to work with any other artists, but when they mentioned my name she said that she wanted to do it. She really liked everything that I was doing and really thought it was a good idea. So it just kind of happened. It was an honor, it really was. It was great working with her. Of course the clothes were great, too, that didn’t hurt.

Cheyenne is now a vocalist and mandolinist in the band Gloriana.
