I'm familiar with Drupal / Drush / Civicrm Starter Kit but is there a Starter Kit or sample theme for Wordpress? I've used WP-CLI and stumbled on civicrm wp-cli but basically looking for a quick start to customize...

Try just using the regular installation process--it should be simple enough. You won't find or want to work with a different theme for the backend of CiviCRM, and on the front, you should find that CiviCRM works well in most cases.
Now in 4.6, CiviCRM will set up a base page for you, so it's one step easier, too.
