There
are two schools of thought surrounding its cover. One side approves of the
older sister while the other side like the younger.
Sisters
Ehra and Michelle Madrigal take
centerstage in this month’s issue of our favourite motivational manual!
YOU
SHOULD BE HAPPY!
First
of all, even if I really, really hate group shots (for example, those poorly
posed RRJ chicks that only had one
shot), I’ll let this one slide because I was a fan of the issue. You see, you
like it when concepts work but oftentimes... they don’t. The sisters’ previous
FHM covers weren’t that promising. Michelle’s cover were her dark skin was
paired with a dark background blows because it didn’t really accentuate her
beauty. This is why I like Michelle’s Maxim
cover more than her first FHM cover – the Ice Queen concept was enough to make
her stand out. On the other hand, the cosplay idea behind Ehra’s second cover
shoot failed to work because her first cover was cute and sexy and shocking
that whatever she makes after just fails in comparison.
Without
any hint of some mind-boggling idea, the sisters posed and they stood out. The
decision to release this while Survivor
Philippines: Celebrity Edition was airing was good because it made people
check out Michelle. In retrospect, this cover could have helped Ehra’s Diz Iz It.
But
who am I kidding? A program made to compete against Showtime that is concept-wise the same as Showtime had an automatic
death sentence long before its premiere episode (that just sucks since during
bus rides, I was looking forward to Diz Iz
Aktingan).
Bonus
points should be given to the sisters’ hair. This could be the reason why I
didn’t really like Michelle’s first cover – the long hair suits her more. On
the other hand, the ridiculous hair Ehra had on the shoot isn’t really that bad
as people perceive it. Hey, if Ehra can stay hot despite her “lawless” hair
strands, then that means she’s that good-looking.
I
was also happy with regards to the articles.
Sure,
I hated the fact that FHM is constantly reminding me that aside from the fact those
gymrats have Herculean bodies that is poised to make the hot chicks wet, they
also have the tendency to dish out hotter sex scenes than those guys that
frequently slouch in their couch. But my most favourite piece that they
unloaded was the one where they featured the Meralco Reddy Kilowatts. During the MICAA days where people playing in commercial league actually works
for the commercial squad they play in, Meralco was the team to beat. Leading
the squad were Robert Jaworski, Big Boy
Reynoso, Jimmy Mariano, Orly Bauzon, Fort Acuna, and others. Actually, it
shocked me that when Jaworski and Reynoso were banned from MICAA in 1971
because they ganged on an import, he was already 25 years old.
His
playing career spanned for three decades? Surely that is a feat you can
seriously brag about.
Also,
the thing where Bogs Adornado, a
member of MICAA and PBA versions of the Crispa
Redmanizers would reveal that Francis
Arnaiz, one of the best shooting guards to ever play in the PBA, was a mere
benchwarmer during those days was also an information worth keeping. In the
article it was revealed that Crispa and
Meralco were the predecessors of the storied Crispa-Toyota rivalry but during those days, it was only Adornado
and Joy Dionisio playing for the
squad because the Redmanizers has yet to cross paths with Atoy Co, Abet Guidaben, Bernie Fabiosa, Freddie Hubalde, and Philip
Cezar.
My
only qualm is that the Meralco Bolts,
the current team playing for the PBA sans Ryan
Gregorio, who pretty much knows his basketball all so well, seems as if
they do not have any clue of the tradition that Meralco had in Philippine
basketball.
Anyway,
because I really, REALLY liked the issue’s two main points, I will say the
November issue is a must buy. Hopefully the Premiere Vixens will return in the December issue as well. In terms
of concepts, well... this is the one part of the mag that has yet to
disappoint.
Until
the next issue!
Game
over.
