Derek Writes: I’ve always wanted my bed rocked and heaved by an Americano. But, I am a gargoyle and those perfumed-with-lavender, brown-skinned gals with the studio white teeth and atomic personalities find me as appealing as old wheat germ.
What a thrill, therefore, to secure a photo shoot with Erica Hosseini, a royal, but still young looking, 24 years old, from Newport Beach, California. Her background has elements of the Arab world, something we mustn’t overlook in these troubled times.
“It’s funny ‘cause people have googled my name and they’re, like, ‘Oh you’re the Iranian of the day!’” says Little Hoss. “Even just today, I went to the bank and they see my last name and are all, like, ‘Wait, your last name’s Hosseini? But you have bright blue eyes and blonde hair… how’re you Persian?’ I’m just 25 percent Persian. I’m mostly Danish, which is where the physical traits come through. Both my mom and dad are actually Danish, but my dad’s got that small percentage of Persian which is where the name comes from.”
Little Hoss is something of a surf cat, too. She was the youngest surfer to ever make the final of an ASP pro event (14!), copped a third at the world junior titles in Tahiti and in 2005 won five NSSA titles. And she surfs full-time(ish) on the world qualifying tour! Ain’t that something!
