FIRST ISSUES


FIRST ISSUES

          It’s the first of July, my birth month. I’m itching to post something! I thought, it should be something connected to me. Ah yes! The first of my birth month, so I’m posting the covers of the First Issues of my magazine collections.
          I have already previously posted some of them in this same blog together with my collections of Philippine komiks first issues on the particular day they were released.
          Among those published in the Philippines are the following:

MEN’S EDGE
          Supermodel Abbygale Arenas on the first front cover of this men’s magazine. Contains articles particularly for men, from cars, high-tech gadgets and guns to good grooming, actions and adventures (SEE more information about it on June 1, 2012 post).
Men’s Edge (June 1994).

THE GOOD LIFE
          On the first cover of this magazine are “happy” masks, the photo was courtesy of the Department of Tourism. Contains as its subtitle connotes, “brightest ideas, best buy,” trivia, facts, stories, anecdotes, news, and everything else (SEE more information about it on June 5, 2012 post).
The Good Life (June 1996).

TV STAR
          Hollywood actors Leonardo Dicaprio and Kate Winslet (a scene in the film Titanic) are on the front cover, and Maricel Soriano (for the Green Cross alcohol print ad) on the back cover of the premier issue of this film and entertainment magazine, and TV guide. Contains celebrity news, profiles, film and television reviews, and program schedules for both free TV and cable (SEE more information about it on December 1, 2012 post).
TV Star (December 1999).


FHM PHILIPPINES
          Hollywood actress Alicia Silverstone graced the cover of the first issue and, on the second issue, Sunshine Cruz became the first Filipina cover girl of this magazine. Contains sexy picture, sex advisory columns, “true” stories and confessions of sexual encounters, and articles on varied subjects mostly catering to male interest and predisposition.
FHM Philippines (March and April 2000).

GM (Short for Gentlemen’s Magazine. I’m certainly a gentleman!)
          On the front cover are the rather interlocked bodies of Stella L. and Monica Montes, and on the flip-up back cover are Mark Anthony Fernandez and Rica Peralejo. Contains sexy picture (some breast exposures and nudes), spicy interviews and write-ups about starlets, and stills of adult films.
GM (Gentlemen’s Magazine, December 2001).

18 (I’m 99.9 percent sure it represent the age)
          Sexy model and actress Tracy Torres graced the front cover of the first issue of this men’s magazine, and Maye Tongko at the back cover. Contains sexy pictures, lists (such as “10 Most Fantasized Female Star”), erotica, trivia, sex jokes, sex-related articles (SEE more information about it on September 8, 2012 post).
18 Magazine (December 2003).
