Bebot, Bebot!

Sorry for the late issue review, I busted my scanner. Here it is - Saicy Aguila, of Pinoy Big Brother fame, on her first men’s magazine feature. I had confessed not knowing who Saicy was, it turns out I was misled by the print on the front cover - they now refer to her as “Saicy” only, dropping the Aguila entirely.

Issue review

I like this Maxim issue - not only for Saicy’s feature but for other features that make it worthwhile. In this October issue we also have Isabel Granada, who really deserves a separate post (actually, she deserves a separate cover feature), Nina Navarro - a chef, a bikini model named Cherrysh, a Quentin Tarantino interview, an interview with a “bar girl,” and a feature on the return of the bar Club Dredd. All of which I’m interested in. Wait, I’m not sure if the magazine’s binding is getting weaker - I tore the Saicy part while scanning (first time that happened).

Saicy

I’ve included 8 scans in the gallery. There are 11 pages of Saicy goodness in the issue, I’ve excluded the other interview pages. The photos are really revealing, enticing, and sexy. There’s nothing really special on the art direction, the layout, the wardrobe, and the location, just raw meant-to-titillate photographs. The photos were taken by Darren Tieste, the interview, by Vlad Bunoan.

Saicy has this sort-of exotic, probinsyana (well she is from Bacolod) look. I’m not really that big (of a fan) on her general appearance but she embodies Filipina beauty very well. She is sexy, no doubt, but there’s this one pose that I think needs a little photoshop-ing. It’s not really that big a deal but you know how perfect these magazine photos are. And, the fact that they need not photoshop it must mean that in reality, what we see is what we get.
