THE country’s sexiest women gathered once more in the hottest and much anticipated event of the year – FHM’s 100 Sexiest Party – at Valkyrie, Uptown BCG, Taguig City last Tuesday.
FHM took its brand to new heights as its recent issues looked sharper, smarter and cooler in order to reach a wider audience, specifically the new Filipino male who has now become more discriminating.
After the James Bond-themed red carpet welcome, the party to celebrate the 100 women who made it to this year’s sexiest list began with hot production numbers by Dawn Chang and Arni Ross.
FHM’s first Pinay cover girl Sunshine Cruz also made a special appearance, still looking as lovely and sexy as when she graced FHM’s issue in April 2000.
Cheers welcomed Marian Rivera-Dantes when she was honored as the first FHM Philippines Hall of Fame awardee, topping the list a record three times (in 2008, 2013 and 2014). A proud mom, the Kapuso primetime queen thanked everyone and excused herself that she cannot stay long at the party “kasi hinihintay ako ng anak ko!”
Rhian Ramos, who was no. 5 in this year’s list, also made a special appearance, and thanked FHM who wooed her several times before finally saying yes to grace the cover of the July issue. She is currently in the GMA soap “Sinungaling Mong Puso.”
The July issue of FHM comes with a special FHM 100 Sexiest insert and is now available on nestands, and in bookstores, convenient stores and supermarkets nationwide.
FHM’s Sexiest for 2016 Jessy Mendiola was hot in a beaded red showgirl costume that displayed her ample assets. “This is surreal!” was all the Kapamilya star could say after sashaying on stage.
In a post-party interview, Jessy said that “I am very thankful to everyone who voted for me…kahit hindi ako marunong rumampa. At least now, we have proven to everyone that anybody can be sexy, no matter what your body type is!”
Jessy, who is a mainstay of the gag show “Banana Sundae”, was ranked no. 23 in last year’s polls.
“I love my (oversized) thighs. Although many hate my thighs, I love them because they are functional thighs. I walk, jump and run with them!”
How does Jessy keep sexy? “Para akong si Pia Wurtzbach. If Pia is confidently beautiful with a heart, ako naman, confidently sexy with a heart!”
Topping the sexiest list for Jessy is surreal, but for everyone at Valkyrie that night, she was sooo real!
