Congratulations on your first MAXIM cover, Shiralee. How do you feel? 

Thank you so much! It’s amazing and I’m so excited for everyone to see these photos – I’m still buzzing. We had the best day shooting with such an incredible team and I feel so happy and grateful.

What did you love most about this photo shoot?

Even though we shot this in Sydney, it looks like we are in Europe – the location in Rose Bay was dreamy and it’s giving Greek summer vibes. The swimwear we shot was so beautiful, too – the Mayaki swimwear collection is stunning and I love it! And, of course, shooting with a vintage 1967 Cadillac really took it to another level.

What goes through your mind when posing in swimwear? 

I was built to be in a bikini and I really love wearing swimwear. It’s only happy days when you are in a swimsuit, right? My best memories are in swimwear, whether its photo shoots or being on holidays.

Well, you look stunning. What’s the sexiest thing about you?

I’d like to say it’s my energy – I love to be a positive vibe – but I’ve also been told my style is one of my most attractive traits, which is very important to me. 

When do you feel you’re at your sexiest?
