Y ou may easily recognize our April Cover Girl, Niki Ghazian from her
numerous appearances in FHM, or maybe have even seen her out
in Hollywood on the scene attracting oodles of attention with her
Lingerie Bowl teammates. The Los Angeles native, who has been
stamped a socialite, owes her success in modeling to her sultry and exotic
looks, a direct result of her Persian ancestry. Despite being nominated for
a coveted spot on FHM’s 100 Sexiest list this year, and being romantically
linked to star athletes, Ghazian has a somewhat normal side to her life.
The 26 year old model-socialite is also a Law Student. Niki has been quoted
in the past as “wanting to be recognized for something other than [her]
looks,” and spends her down hours hitting the books and planning her post-
modeling career. The bad girl gone good, focuses her philanthropic efforts
in her hometown of Santa Monica, at homeless shelters, spending holiday
hours helping out. In a candid interview, Niki shares with us her love for
football, her past bad girl antics, and the ‘ruckus’ she caused as a teenager
while growing up in Los Angeles.

 1.What’s your Ethnicity?
I’m Persian, with a pinch of Russian
from my Dad’s side of the Fam.

2. What’s your sign?

Taurus

3. Where are you from?

Santa Monica, CA
(West Los Angeles)

4. What did you like most

about growing up in LA?
Growing up in LA is great because
there is always so much to do.
For example, you can surf and
snowboard in the same day, quite
literally. I don’t think there is
another city in the world where
that is possible.

5.What kind of mischief did

you into while growing up?
A better question would be what
kind of mischief didn’t I get into.
We use to set off random fire
works all over the city in the
middle of the night, get chased by
cops. Did I mention I’m a really
fast runner? My friends and I
were so bad, we use to sneak out
at night steal our parent’s cars
and joyride way before we were
old enough to have a license. I
learned all the freeways in the LA
area that way. When I finally got
my license I remember I was on
the freeway with my mom one
day, and she was stunned, asking
me how I know all the freeways.
I could go on and on about the
Rukus I’ve caused growing up in
LA, pun intended.

6. What’s the craziest thing

you’ve ever done?
Can I give you a list? Just kidding.
Probably one time in High School,
my friends and I were partying
in Malibu and decided to go
streaking down Pacific Coast
Highway, followed by a skinny dip
in the ocean. Fun times.

 7. What brought you to LA?
My parents.

8. What’s your favorite

hobby and why?
Playing and Watching Football.
I believe football is the greatest
sport known to mankind. It
takes strength, agility, mental
prowess, and athletic ability
more than any other sport.
I play for the Los Angeles
Temptations in the Lingerie
Football League. Snowboarding
is probably my second favorite
hobby, followed by Surfing.

9. What’s your guilty pleasure?

Being lazy. I love laying around
naked doing absolutely nothing.

10. Who do you admire?

Madonna. I had mixed feelings
about her growing up, I thought
she was weird, specially when
she did you know what with a
DOG. But I’ve come to realize
she is a Boss Bitch, she is the
poster child for Blonde Ambition.
She pretty much took over the
world.

11. What’s one of your

personal goals?
To take over the World. No,
my number one personal goal
is to be Happy. I don’t mean
momentarily happiness, I want
to attain a situation in my
life, both professionally and
personally, where my good days
outnumber my bad days by far.

12. What do guys compliment

you on the most?
Guys who know me compliment
me on my personality, and
how “cool” I am. Guys I
just meet compliment me on
how “beautiful” I am. As far
as physically, I’d say I get
complimented on my body in
general. (Cont’d on Page 8)

 13. What’s your favorite
body part on yourself?
My booty, breasts, & Abs.

14. What’s your least favorite

body part on yourself?
My arms. I use to swim
competitively since I was 9 years
old all the way up to college.
Thankfully I’ve lost a lot of the
muscle I had in my upper body,
but I still think my arms and
shoulders are too big and bulky.
If I could change one thing
it would be to make my arms
skinnier.

guy?
Honesty, Sincerity, Swagger,
Sex Appeal, Sense of Humor,
Athleticism, and Street Smarts.

16. What’s the first thing you

notice about a guy?
His eyes.

17. What turns you on?

Guys with sex appeal. This is
different from just being good
looking. I’m never attracted to
a guy just because he is good
looking, he has to bring it with the
sex appeal.

18. What turns you off?

Liars, Cheaters, Liars, Liars, Lack
of Character, Lack of Integrity &
Core Values. I like a guy who is
in touch with who he is and isn’t
easily swayed from it.

19. What’s your biggest pet

peeve?
Liars and Idiots


20. Who’s your celebrity pass?

I’ve already hooked up with my
