To Bi For 28: Cristine Reyes.

Just bought a 2007 issue of the local FHM with seductress Cristine Reyes on the cover. I have been intending to buy a copy since it came out (I think August or September) but I am such a cheapskate that I waited for it to go on sale before buying. Last Monday, I finally got my copy at half its original price. He he.

As I wrote before, I rarely buy FHM. I think the last time I bought a copy was when Cindy Kurleto was on the cover. That was a long way back. Maybe, at least five years ago. Or six, as I was still in law school at that time. First, because I am more into nice girls with Catholic-school backgrounds. Second, because I can always borrow or leaf through a copy that my friends buy. And third, the articles are uninteresting, lame and dumb. So, I have to really, really like the actress or model featured for me to buy. Is KC Concepcion posing yet?

I think the magazine hit a jackpot when it was finally able to convince Cristine to pose for them. According to the write-up, it took them three years of waiting and convincing before the young actress gave her precious nod.

There are a lot of young actresses out there marketing themselves as sexy. If you ask me, Cristine seems to be the only legitimate one who can lay claim to such a tag. She is smokingly sexy.

One thing that Cristine definitely has going for her is the fact that her au naturelle. At least, I think her boobies are natural and nothing on her face has been repaired. She entered showbiz when she was only fifteen years old and all the physical changes that happened to her seems to be the natural product of post-puberty that unfolded before our watchful eyes. Nothing enhanced by a scalpel or a fat vacuum.

One thing that Cristing doesn't have going for her is talent. What she has in boobies, she lacks in talent. I have a crush on this girl (Need I say that here?) and whenever I see her on TV, I watch her and give her a chance. I have given her a thousand chances yet my verdict remains that she can't act, can't sing, can't dance, can't host. So what is she doing in showbusiness? Playing pretty, which is something I make no complaints about.

Her lack of talent is acknowledged in the industry. She has been in the business for three years and except for those periodic guestings on TV her career has gone nowhere. She doesn't even have a regular show! She has been left behind by her contemporaries.

The decision to go daring and sexy may have been an acknowledgment on the part of this young girl that her career is in nowhereland and that she has nothing to offer the audience but her very beautiful face and curvaceous body. Again, I am not complaining. At least, Cristine is intelligent and humble enough to admit that she has a problem, be able to identify her problem and do something about it. It is a right step in the right direction.

When Cristine made the decision to pose for FHM, it was met with much hoopla and fanfare. It was obvious from the reaction of the people that FHM and I were not the only ones praying for Cristine to shed her clothes and wear nothing but lingerie in front of the camera. Thousands of other Filipinos were salivating to see her in skimpier outfits. Fanning the fire, FHM even began talk of a possible rivalry between Cristine and her fellow Starstruck alumna, Katrina Halili. As it turned out, it was just a gimick to sell another FHM special in which both young hotties appeared. In the war between Katrina and Cristine, FHM won. He he.
