Rugged mountains with breathtaking vistas. Native wildflowers everywhere the eye can see. The enchanting sound of exotic local music wafting on the breeze. The coal mines that make us a hard but honest living, just like our grandpappies and their grandpappies before them. The curiously blissful afterglow of shock and shame you get when you wake up next to your cousin after a night of drinking moonshine. Yes, we love West Virginia just as much as the next snarky magazine editors, but for some reason a lot of folks prefer Hawaii. Probably something about the Aloha State's beaches or weather or palm trees. Or its women. Believe it or not, there are a lot of beautiful women in Hawaii. So many, in fact, that we had trouble making a list of only 50 of Hawaii's hottest ladies. Well, not that much trouble.

Erin Gray

Not Available Interstitial

Gray got her start modeling in the '60s, appearing in campaigns for L'Oreal and Bloomingdales, among others. By the late '70s, an interest in acting lead her to star in Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, and a decade later, the popular sitcom Silver Spoons. She's now 60 years old, and while we can't say we'd still hit it, we get an analog kick out of looking at pictures of hot chicks from the '70s.

This Hawaiian of Fiipino-German descent has Playboy and Baywatch Hawaii on her very short resume. But if your claim to fame is being hot, you can't do much better than those two.

Brook Lee

Lee won Miss Universe in 1997, and a year later brought the pageant to Hawaii for the first time ever. She later went on to appear in shows like The Nanny and Boy Meets World, and hosted shows on ESPN and E! Her latest venture was hosting the Travel Channel's Cruises We Love, which we're gonna assume does not include the magazine rack next to the men's room in the Honolulu Public Library. Wait, is anybody even editing this shit?

Michelle Wie

Wie's sorta like the female Tiger Woods, becoming a pro golfer before she turned 16 and signing endorsement deals with Nike and Sony reportedly worth 10 million a year. Now we say "sorta like" Tiger because she a) hasn't won any major tournaments and b) hasn't banged any cocktail waitresses in church parking lots. Not that we're not rooting for Michelle to do both.

Sandy Jordan

Not Available Interstitial

Born in Honolulu to an American G.I. dad and a Vietnamese mom who met during the Vietnam War (one of a few good things, including this, to come out of said conflict), Sandy was not named for her propensity for getting stuff in her shorts on trips to Hawaii's many fine beaches. She is one of the very few models who can say they've worked for both Playboy and Disney,  appearing in a host of Playboy spreads and many Disney tourism advertising campaigns. That's what they call being "well-rounded." So is her bikini.

Diana Devoe

Ms. Devoe started stripping because she needed to pay for college (why else?). After graduating from the University of Hawaii, she briefly ran a swinger's club before her carnal appetite led her into porn. She was one of the more popular black porn stars before moving behind the camera in the early Aughts. Now she, uh, pops up in an occasional scene here or there.

Cris reportedly started her porn career on her 18th birthday, which you'll have to admit is a helluva way to announce to the world that you're a grown-up. Her filmography runs the gamut from gonzo porn to shemale videos. Word is she once shot a scene while 6 months pregnant. We just hope she named it Dixon.

Barrese came to semi-fame on the short-lived WB sitcom Run Of The House, where she played Sally Franklin. She last appeared in a small role in The Hangover, but before you go dismissing her for "short-lived" and "small role" non-stardom, know that she speaks French. Fluently. Now what do you speak? Besides, "Uhhh, geez, she's, like, hot."

Marie spent the early part of her career modeling for Yves Saint Laurent, Versace and Valentino, and released a book of nude photos in 1980 titled Trouble and Strife. She launched a swimwear line in the ’90s, published two books, and recently appeared as a judge on Britain's Next Top Model. She's still modeling, now as the face of British retailer Mark and Spencer's fashion line for women 50 and older. Take that, spry-ass whippersnappers!

"That Hot Chick" from A Knight's Tale was born in Honolulu but grew up in Reno, which we're assuming was something of a shock (a really, really unpleasant one). Prior to booking the Knight's Tale gig, she was a model and an occasional DJ, and presumably saw the sun at some point. And now she's in How To Make It in America as well as the Girls With Normal Names That Are Spelled Funny club.

Kascha came of age during the end of porn's golden years (the late '80s) and appeared in damn near every skin and fetish mag you can name: Penthouse, Hustler, Juggs, High Society, Leg Show, and Ashy Elbows. (Ha! Made that last one up! We had you, right?). She mostly had sex with her French husband, Francois Papillon, on film, which in retrospect makes her kind of tame. She retired in 1994, an inspiration to aspiring Hawaiian pornstars everywhere.

A class slightly above (and perhaps a bit more artistic than) stripping, burlesque dancing is Kalani's claim to fame, and she's damn good at it, winning the 2009 Miss Exotic World pageant. We assume Kalani got her surname because there are lots of coconuts in Hawaii (more coconuts than spelling teachers, that's for sure!). Or perhaps she was named for her breasts. How crude!

Tan actually has a Bachelor's Degree in biochemistry, and tried legit work as an actress before turning to porn. She considers herself more of a fetish model now, but there's a catch: you can actually have sex with her yourself as she's a legal prostitute at the Bunny Ranch in Nevada. Now, we have a quick question for you: Are you stupid? If so, please be aware that the Bunny Ranch website is what we like to call "Not Safe For Work." Because it advertises a brothel. And people pay to have sex at brothels. And...forget it, you're hopeless.

Her acting career jumped off in '87, when she started appearing in shows like Growing Pains, 21 Jump Street, and Night Court. She went on to have roles in The Scorpion King and Cradle to the Grave, among others. But perhaps most interesting is her love of polka. Oh, wait, you say she likes poker?
