Christina Atherall is on the prowl. She aims to become one of America’s next supermodels—and we don’t doubt for one minute that she will accomplish it. Maybe it’s the Cuban blood flowing through her veins which makes this 23–year–old native of Hawaii so driven and motivated. Yet, she’s not just another pretty face. From herenergy to her personality she is captivating. With the strength of a lion and the look of a regal lioness, this feralprincess is sure to devour a heart or two. But don’t worry, this kitten hasn’t forgotten how to purr.
What have you been working on lately?
Lately, I’ve been working on myself! I’m really getting in touch with my spiritual side and it is a rejuvenating feeling. As for the modeling, I’ve been working with new designers and new companies and also doing a variety of jobs that vary from the majority of my past work. I’ve never felt sexy modeling because I’ve always done the high fashion work, but I’m feeling so comfortable in my skin right now and sexier than ever!
What are your ultimate aspirations?
My ultimate aspiration is to be a well–rounded woman with a lot to give. I feel like we are made up of all these components and we just have to perfect each part and once assembled can be this masterpiece of a person. That is my goal: to be the ultimate lover, friend, sister, model, and eventually wife and mother. I was blessed with the traits of dedication and loyalty, so I won’t settle for less than the woman I can be. I feel that I can do anything I put my mind to and I aspire to making that happen, one day at a time. Success in every aspect of my life is my goal.
What are some of the horror stories you’ve experienced working as a model?
I remember when I went on my first audition after moving to California. When I arrived, I found out that we had to learn a dance routine in 15 minutes and then perform it to a panel of male judges. By the time it was my turn, I was so nervous that I totally screwed up all the moves. I laughed it off and ended up getting the job. Some of the talents I’ve worked with are so full of themselves that they forget to stay grounded and human. I booked a photo shoot with an aspiring actress and when we were about to start shooting she said, “I’m an actress. Don’t put a model next to me!”
What would you say was the craziest night of your life?
The craziest night of my life was back home in Hawaii a couple years ago. Every week, my sister and I would head out to Waikiki and get into random trouble. This one night, we were walking down the street getting our night started when these two men started talking to us. They were visiting from France. They invited us to their suite to have drinks. After a few drinks, they decided they wanted to give us massages. One of the men massaging my sister got a bit too excited and had an accident in his pants! It was embarrassing but hilarious at the same time. They told us that they wanted us to go back to Paris with them for a week. We didn’t take them up on that offer but that night was definitely memorable.
Damn, that dude must have been pretty embarrassed. What’s one of your own embarrassing moments?
It happened in Hawaii a couple years ago when I was out at a club and met this guy. He was visiting from California and staying at a hotel, so I told him I could drop him off because it was a rainy night. I was trying to be cute and all of a sudden, one of my tires popped! He ended up changing my tire in the rain. I felt so bad and needless to say, the night came to an abrupt end.
You’re pretty tall. How do you feel about dating shorter men?
Been there, done that. My ex-boyfriend was three inches shorter than me and although we lasted four years, the height factor was definitely an issue. I’m just the type of girl that likes a big man to wrap his arms around me. I used to feel bad that I would hurt someone’s feelings, but a woman has a right to have standards that make her feel fulfilled in a relationship. Feeling bigger than your man is not cool.
Do you find that most men are intimidated by your height?
I wouldn’t say that most men are intimidated by my height, but a lot of them are for sure! I can always tell when the first words out of his mouth are, “Wow, you’re tall.” Tell me something I don’t know! I think it’s cute when a little guy shows interest in me, which surprisingly happens all the time. At least I know there are no insecurities there!
You don’t seem like a typical girl, do you play video games?
I went through a phase where I played Crash Bandicoot like an addict. I wouldn’t stop until I beat all the levels. But once I did, I lost interest. I haven’t played since, but I like to think of myself as a master of that game and will take on any challenger!
Who’s your favorite male athlete?
I don’t watch a lot of sports, besides boxing. I would have to say that Will Demps of the Houston Texans since I know him. He’s not only a great player, but an awesome person as well. He has a real laid back mentality which I like, considering that I’m from Hawaii.
What do you wear to sleep?
I like to sleep all the way in the nude! Clothes can be so awkward and uncomfortable in bed and are so unnecessary. I mean, you’re asleep, so who’s seeing your clothes?
What do you do when you want to get a guy’s attention?
Eye contact is key. I would flirtatiously look at him, and once I know that I have his attention, look away. It’s almost like a tease and I love it because in a way, it’s intimate without any physical contact.
Describe your dream date.
I am a total hopeless romantic and I love it! My dream date would be patient, funny, sweet, and give me all the time in the world to get ready for our date. He would pick me up and compliment me to no end. He would keep me guessing as to where we were going until we arrived. We would go to dinner on a cruise ship because I love the ocean. It would have live music, bands and dancing. We would laugh and have no limit as to how long our date would go on or how much fun we could have. After dinner, we would take a long walk on the beach, feeling the water and sand on our feet and talking about our lives, getting to know each other a little more. He would drive me home and before saying goodbye, kiss me like it’s the last time he’d ever taste my lips.
Wow, that sounds like quite a date. If you could switch places with an actress, who would it be?
If I could switch places with an actress it would definitely be Julia Roberts. Besides the fact that Pretty Woman is my all time favorite movie, she always lands the most amazing roles and is sought after by producers. She has perfected her craft and knows her talent and what she’s worth. I like the fact that she has a family and is able to keep that part of her life private, but at the same time enjoys life.
Speaking of pretty women, have you ever kissed a woman?
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas! Two women never kiss and tell.
Where can a guy kiss you in order to turn you on?
When a guy kisses the side of my neck a little behind my ear, I go crazy. It sends this sensation down my entire body. It has to be the right kiss though, gentle and passionate.
What’s your biggest sexual fantasy?
My biggest fantasy involves another girl and myself pleasuring my man. The thought of knowing how much satisfaction he is getting from the both of us at the same time is a turn on. I’m all about pleasing my guy in bed, so the night would be dedicated to giving him the ultimate steamy experience.
Damn, you’re like the perfect girlfriend a guy can imagine! Have you ever dressed up as someone to fulfill a boyfriend’s fantasy?
My ex-boyfriend loved the way Shakira moved and always wanted me to dance like her for him. I would put on lingerie and work my hips. Let’s just say, I wouldn’t end up dancing too long.
