Playboy Philippines: The International Issue Released

Having been able to get the magazine, read and seen was enough for me, but getting to see the actual international playmates was just really off the charts. Yes they were here, in the flesh during the intimate meet and greet session at the Brewery at the Palace in BGC. I must say, I've already seen some of them during a runway event in Solaire a couple of years ago and that time I couldn't believe how much we've been lucky to have them in the country. Dragging along my guy friend, we braved the metro's traffic and sat with a couple more men who wanted to catch a glimpse of gorgeous Holly Wolf, Rebecca Boggiano and CJ Sparxxx.

These playmates looked so sultry in this year's first cover. I got a sense of how each one of them behaved during the meet and greet. They were already being mobbed, but they didn't mind, I'm sure they're kinda used to the testosterone levels that exists there. Holly Wolf was nice, she asked me not to add light too much since it was going to be too harsh on photos. That tells me how meticulous she is about details, which matters in my books. She's also been featured in different Playboy countries and garnered a few Playmate of the Year titles here and there. 

Rebecca Boggiano is this issues Playmate of the Month. Her spread was awesome and when she came out of the van earlier that evening, I couldn't stop looking at her. She was stunning, no surprise though as she was a former Miss Universe Australia finalist. I would marry her if she asked me ha-ha! Then there's Ms. CJ Sparxxx, who was super nice. With that body and personality, I wouldn't be surprised if there were tons of men that would fall for her. She's that kind that gets a long with men easily, no frills, no fuss, just her. I heard they're also doing another shoot in her favorite place, the beach of which we have a LOT of in the Philippines. Playboy Philippines will be obliging us with a feature again for that, so here's a THANK YOU in advanced. I simply LOVE them all!

Oh and if that's not enough, also featured in the magazine are Ladies who Ink. Some of the country's most gorgeous women clad in ink shot quite artistically. Loved that part too. Make sure you get a copy of The International Issue from major bookstores, magazine stands nationwide. 

Thank you Holly, Beck and Cj for having my copy signed! Thank you so much for being so nice too! Thank you also to Playboy Philippines for letting me cover your event. See you next issue perhaps? :)

UNO Magazine: Covergirls Bangs Garcia and Dawn Jimenez

Sometimes, you need to grab a copy of UNO Magazine to realize that they know you. Men just like when we were all cave dwellers always had something in mind... And that's women. Sexy, luscious and hot in their form, you just can't stop fantasizing about them even in your sleep. Explosive or sweet, take your pick at UNO MAGAZINE's latest offerings as they unveil their covergirls for January and February... This is two of UNO's most hottest vixens. Didn't I tell you they were hot?

On the cover for the month of January is Bombshell Bangs Garcia. She's got spreads implying how explosive she is on and off screen. She also discusses bits and pieces about herself that you might have not seen yet in other interviews plus a couple or more photos holding up her guns and a tell all of what she's been doing these past few months (as she's been on a slight hiatus fromTV). She adds that she's also going to be in Dyesebel as an antagonist to gorgeous Anne Curtis. You'll love her, or hate her MORE soon but still, she's has everything you want in a girl. Watch out for that!

February's sweetest treat is OTJ's Dawn Jimenez. She's the controversial lady who gave it all to Gerald Anderson's character in the film. You never knew how sizzling hot it was going to be in the beginning and got surprised how feisty that scene is. If you haven't watched it, it was one of the film's highlights. When I met her on this mag signing event, she was a little quiet, reserved and had that mysterious thing going on for her. She's really pretty even if she's not that heavily made up. I like that.

On the mag though, she played a lot with candies and chocolate that could tittilate you even without mentioning that it's an aphrodisiac. She's hot in all the right places, especially her eyes. I love that on her.

Bangs Garcia felt like talking that evening. She told several stories about herself and what's happening soon. She felt the urge to probably update people since the last time we saw her was quite a long time ago. That same quality makes her attractive. I felt if she were your girlfriend you won't run out of stories. If you don't want anything boring, she could probably do that since she's very spontaneous. It's a trait I didn't know that would come from her. So that's probably why a lot of men adore her. 

Two women out on the conquest of making you regret not firing that pistol, having that grenade explode, swim around in rich thick chocolate or bite off that sweet concoction. They've got that on several sexy outfits, large photos and more inside the January and February issue of UNO MAGAZINE. Definitely a collectors item! It's available in all leading bookstores, magazine stands and selected counters nationwide! Boys, you know you gotta have this! :)
