The blonde bombshell from the controversial Ultra Tune ads returns to MAXIM to talk working with Charlie Sheen, social media haters and doing this swimwear shoot in a sub-zero ice bar…
Congrats on your second MAXIM cover, Tyana. It’s also the first cover on your own — how does it feel?
Thank you so much! It feels great. I love shooting for MAXIM Australia because it’s a local publication which means I can go down to the store and see it on the shelf, which is pretty surreal.
What have you been up to since we last saw you?
I’ve been working a lot, filming for Ultra Tune, obviously, as well as shooting for different publications around the world. I also bought a house and did a bit of travelling around Europe and Asia.
Nice. Tell us something we wouldn’t know about you.
Hmmm… not many people would know that up until I was about 19 I used to want to be a flight attendant. I even got a job with Emirates but I didn’t end up pursuing it as I had more opportunities here in Australia working other things.
So, what do you do when you’re not posing for MAXIM?
You’ll either find me on a beach or with my head in a book – I’m a huge fan of crime thrillers.
This is a cool, pardon the pun, photo shoot – tell us the idea behind the ice bar theme?
It was actually Sean Buckley’s, my boss, idea. He messaged me one day and was like, “Hey, I have a great idea – I want you to do a swimwear shoot in an ice bar. We happened to be in Melbourne at the time, and found an ice bar in Fitzroy, and so it went from there.
Seeing as you’re in nothing but a bikini, how hard was it trying to stay warm in there?
