UK Maxim - December 2007

I saw a scan of the cover a week before I saw the magazine and thought 'not again...'. Sophie Howard must have been featured in this magazine at least 3 times this year. I skimmed through the interview however and she's off to Australia so we might be seeing less of her for a short time. I thought the shoot itself was far better than the previous pictorials in the other issues. I wonder if Maxim has some kind of contract to Page 3 to regularly feature these girls or I suspect they're cheaper to hire...? In any case it keeps Maxim within it's niche but it could do with showing new up and coming models.

I thought Rachael would win the Miss Maxim title, however the shoot is bitterly disappointing, she covers everything. There is also another feature featuring Amii Grove - again another girl featured regularly in Maxim.

The Laura Esposto shoot I would guess is a early work although it's not bad at all. But as ever, the International Girls of Maxim looks far more interesting. I think Maxim should perhaps feature some of these girls more by giving us more pics.

Oh, and you get a free scarf - great....
