FHM's back-to-back treat: Karel Marquez and Amanda Griffin


FHM, the undisputed number one men's magazine in the country, has more reasons to celebrate. Count, for example, the fact that Karel Marquez and Amanda Griffin, two of the most sought-after women in the showbiz and modeling industry, appear on a special back-to-back cover on the November issue of FHM. This is another treat for FHM readers because this month, you get to take home two luscious honeys on the cover for the price of one!

Karel Marquez, who balances being a MYX VJ, actress, singer, and songwriter in one, considers her FHM debut a career move because according to her, "I'm starting to do mature roles". This is definitely a far cry from the usual perky and teenybopper act that the people have grown accustomed to, but this versatile artist has come a long way from the pa-tweetum roles she used to play in Berks, where she started out at the tender age of 16. Now at 19, Karel says that her independence and how she handles herself are some of the things that constantly surprise people. She has now learned the ropes of living on her own, citing that her maturity is what makes her parents trust her to strike it out by herself.

Another reason for a celebratory toast from the FHM corner is the stunning debut of supermodel Amanda Griffin on FHM. After 15 years of modeling, Amanda is still credited as one of the most sought-after models in the industry today. Her FHM debut has been long been overdue, and she says her uneasiness with the magazine had to do with her initial perception that FHM is "a really sexy magazine", and she was not used to "so much lingerie". Still, Amanda bares all - her mind, that is - as she talks about the things that are keeping her busy at the moment, like being an activist in an environmental cause that's obviously very close to her heart. Although she's been away from the limelight for some time now, Amanda is now back with projects left and right, a sure sign that the showbiz industry is not yet done shining their klieg lights on this supermodel / endorser-turned-TV host.

The November issue of FHM featuring Karel Marquez and Amanda Griffin on a back-to-back cover treat, is now available in leading magazine stands and bookstores for only P125 per copy.
