Born in India but raised in California, Ayanna Jordan is the next model you've never heard of but are soon to become obsessed with. Those are big words, but after checking out her gallery, we're pretty sure you'll agree. Ayanna was one of Maxim's hometown hotties and is fairly active in the <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/AyannaJordan" target="_blank">Twittersphere</a> (i.e. cell phone pics). So with out further ado, Ayanna Jordan's 20 hottest photos.

Well, look what the tide brought in...

First person to tell Ayanna her button is undone is a dead man.

Your efforts to resist the midriff are futile.

We've heard that Ayanna Jordan is currently taking applications for a new "cabana boy".

Ayanna makes getting out of the water almost an art form.

Ayanna has two ugly cousins and even they're 9s.

This kind of outfit is considered illegal in some countries. Those countries probably hate rainbows and candy, too.

You are now under the command of Ayanna's <del datetime="2011-11-16T21:21:37+00:00">eyes</del> eye.

Believe me, that flamingo was perfectly happy to give up its feathers when it found out who would be wearing them.

Trouble with a capital T.

Ayanna prefers to be topless while reading in the library. Who are we to criticize her study habits.

St. Louis has nothing on this arch.

Write your own damn caption.

The girl means business.

POW!
