CLEARWATER – Kiana Mahabir has been selected as the cover model for the 2025 Hooters Calendar.
Mahabir has worked at Odessa Hooters for over three years. She is studying diagnostic medical sonography.
“Being on the cover means more to me than just an amazing photo,” Mahabir said. “I get to represent my store and make my family, my corporate family, managers and all the people who have supported me over the years, proud. That’s the best feeling in the world to me.”
All of the 200 women in the calendar work at Hooters restaurants across the country and were selected from thousands of candidates.
Several of the women will be available to sign copies during a Tampa Bay Calendar Tour from Dec. 5 to 7, including Tichelle Pender (Clearwater), Amanda Brown (Odessa), Alyssa Watts (Chicago, Illinois) and Lissette Miranda (Joliet, Illinois).
