Wonderful MAXIM photoshoot, Eliza. Tell us a bit about it.

This photoshoot was so much fun. It has been a dream of mine to shoot for MAXIM for years. So, I wanted to embrace the classic MAXIM look I’ve known and went with simple, black lingerie. A lady cannot go wrong with black lingerie and simplicity. The combination of the styling, my look (tattoos and style), and the attitude really came together well for this shoot.

Well you look gorgeous. When do you feel sexy?

Thank you! I feel sexy when I’m the most confident and around the right people. My surroundings reflect me, as I reflect them.

What is your best asset?

Physically, although this may be boring, my best asset is my eyes. Otherwise, I pride myself on my genuine personality and my brain. I love to learn — for instance, I love studying psychology and political science as a hobby.

You’ve got some serious ink on your body.

Compared to my friends I hardly have any! Daria Pirojenko, Jeffrey Page and Tokyo Hiro are just a handful of the talented artists I’ve collected art from. I’ve lost count of how many and have no plans of stopping.

With a surname like yours, besides “Winning”, what’s the best nickname you’ve been given?

Haha… in high school I was known as “the bitch in the ZERO hoodie”, but other than that people call me “Liza Boo”.

Give us a little more background about yourself and your life story so far.
