Erica may no longer be a professional model, but that doesn't mean she can't make money off her looks at the poker table.
From an early age, Erica showed a natural talent for numbers and logic, winning a math championship in her hometown of Akron, Ohio, and regularly crushing her family's card games.
It's clear that Erica is more than just another pretty face and, when she's not playing fljack or in live poker tournaments, you can find her spending time with her fiancé and fellow Full Tilt Poker pro, David Benyamine or playing online at Full Tilt Poker.
Gavin has been playing poker since 1994, when he discovered the roving charity casinos in the Toronto area.
That year, Gavin played in his first poker tournaments during the World Poker Finals at Foxwoods and he made two final tables.
At the Mirage Poker Showdown, Gavin won two tournaments, taking home more than $155,000 in the $2,000 No-Limit Hold 'em event and more than $1.1 Million in the $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em World Poker Tour event.

Russ Meyer's Vixen : DVD(Site not responding. Last check: )
It´s easy to see why "Vixen!" is one of the late Russ Meyer´s more popular movies, with two of those reasons (sorry, this kind of humor is mandatory here) being Erika Gavin.
Gavin, as the libidinous title character, seems to be having a great time frolicking through this movie, mounting Canadian mounties, sexually teasing her biker brother or seducing the young couple who stay at the mountain lodge she and her pilot husband operate.
Vixen´s racism is a bit disconcerting--she frequently hurls racial slurs at her brother´s African-American draft-dodging pal Niles--though it seems used largely to set up a plot twist involving communism and hijacking (it´ll make sense, sort of, when you see it).
