Pierce: Hello, everyone, this is Garrett Pierce with Gay Honolulu magazine! This month is our yearly Hotties of HPD issue, and we’ve got some interviews with the studs who protect and serve our city. Right now I’m sitting with Detective Maka Kekoa, homicide, who we’ve named this year’s Stud of the Year! Thanks for joining us, Maka.

 

Maka: Thanks. I don’t know about the whole Stud of the Year thing, though.

 

Pierce: Well, when the readers see your picture on the cover, you’ll see how they agree. Why don’t you tell us something about you, Maka. What’s something you’re passionate about?

 

Maka: Surfing. I was actually competitive when I was younger. There’s nothing like being out there on a board, catching waves. I joined the police force, but I never gave up surfing. I still go out all the time.

 

Pierce: Is there a man in your life?

 

Maka: That’s a bit on the personal side, isn’t it?

 

Pierce: Well, this is a personal interview about you. Okay, fine, if that question is too much for you, how about this one: what’s your ideal type?

 

Maka: Okay, that’s answerable. I guess my type would be first and foremost someone who is smart. Intelligence is key to me. Physically, I don’t have a type, though if you asked some of my friends they’d tell you that I usually date haole. I don’t know how true that is.

 

Pierce: do you like a guy who’s athletic? I mean, look at you—you’re buff, a surfer and a cop, so you’re definitely fit. Do you need a guy who’s fit, too?

 

Maka: That’s not something I care so much about. Obviously we need to share some interests, some someone who liked surfing or the outdoors would be nice, but that’s not to say I only date guys who hit the gym four times a week or have a certain bicep size. Looks are honestly secondary to me.

 

Pierce: Okay, next question: if you could pick one celebrity to have sex with—no restrictions—who would it be?

 

Maka: Sort of putting me on the spot there, huh? Okay, I guess if I had to answer right now I’d say Zac Efron. But that’s mostly because he’s the first guy to come to mind right now.

 

Pierce: I don’t think you’d find many people that disagree with you there. What’s your favorite holiday?

 

Maka: Halloween. I love Halloween—the scary movies, the ghost stories, haunted houses. It’s great.

 

Pierce: Okay, I think we’ve got time for one more question. What’s a deal breaker for you in a relationship? Anything that would be an immediate end if it were to come up?

 

Maka: My family is important to me. If a guy can’t accept that, then he’s not someone I want in my life. Period. That’s not something that is ever going to change. No matter what, my family will also be a key part of my life. That’s just the way it is.

 

Pierce: Well, there you have it, folks. I hope you enjoyed our interview with Maka Kekoa, this year’s HPD Hottie of the Year.
