Meet Kiana Mahabir, Hooters of Odessa
Kiana is Odessa through and through: grew up there, works at Hooters of Odessa, and has now landed in four straight editions of the Official Hooters Calendar, including the cover of the 2025 edition. She has shot underwater, been bitten by a shark, and can quote Mr. and Mrs. Smith start to finish. We caught up with Kiana to talk wings, shoots, and the advice she'd give the next girl up.

Favorite part of being a Hooters Calendar Girl?
The best part is definitely the photoshoot! The photographers always do an amazing job making us feel comfortable and being so creative. We always have so much fun!
Best memory from the calendar shoot?
Definitely when I took pictures underwater! It was new to me and to the photographers as well, and the pictures came out amazing.
Don't compare your journey to anyone else's. Work hard, stay confident, and being authentically yourself will always make you stand out. Kiana's advice for future calendar girls
