Roll out the red carpet and bow down to the queenly grace of Danielle Castaño, Cindy Miranda, and Queenie Rehman!
And mind you, this is not your ordinary swimsuit competition...
Through the lens of Doc Marlon Pecjo, the former beauty queens set aside the tiara and sash, letting go of their regal inhibitions for this month's issue. Beauty pageants aren't really a man's thing; this time around though, we have enough—actually three—excuses to openly indulge in this female audience-dominated world of shapely curves and mile-long legs.
Of the three Cover Girls, you could consider Miss World 2008 representative Danielle, or Dani, as having the most experience when it comes to these things, appearing in our February 2012 issue and a number of times on the website.
She says in our cover story, "When I first did a cover for FHM, I felt like I wasn’t ready physically. I was more 'chubby cheeks' pa. Now, Ifeel like I’ve grown as a woman, and siyempre my features have changed. I first worked with you guys when I was 19! I’m 25 now, ha ha!"
Cindy, Binibining Pilipinas-Tourism 2013 and among the Top 10 in that year's Miss Tourism Queen International, meanwhile, is relishing the chance of being able to flaunt what she believes is an oft-ignored facet of a beauty queen (Well, not for us...): "When you’re a beauty queen kasi, people train you to be even more refined. You can’t really project sexy kasi laging big smiles lang. Ngayon naipakita ko 'yung isa pang side ng beauty queen na hindi masyadong nakikita ng ibang tao."
Showing off overlooked qualities—and in this woman's case, unexpected talents—is not new to Miss World Philippines 2012 Queenie, who beatboxed her way into the hearts of all those present during Miss World 2012's talent portion. "I'm very competitive," she explains. "I also play basketball, so dun pa lang I’ve developed a competitive instinct na no matter what it takes, I’ll do my best to win."
That is also why we gave you, our dear readers, only the best, with not just one, but THREE sultry ladies—queens at that!—for a single cover! You know you can't go wrong with that. Go on, bask and revel in their presence...
Aside from Dani, Cindy and Queenie, this month's issue also assures a hefty serving of man-knowledge: the real deal with current trends (and why they trend, save the hashtags); a scoring guide on the hottestlandian dating apps (Tinder, OkCupid and Snapchat); the manhood test, taken by master comedianWally Bayola (AKA Lola Nidora, Dra. The Explorer, and a whole bunch of other Kalyeserye characters); and why we shouldn't have mocked MMDA's #ShakeDrill.
