UK FHM - February 2008

The cover star this month is Alesha Dixon, who you might wonder? Well, she used to be a pop band ages ago and was recently crowned Strictly Come Dancing champion a few weeks ago on the BBC if any of you didn't see it.

Anyway, as for the photoshoot itself - it sad to see we're once again back in the studio. The shoot has a few full-page shots, all of which are very bland and very boring. Nothing remotely adventurous attempted here, it just look like she's been put in the front of the camera, plain background behind her, done some very quick shots and that's it - job done. Quite a poor effort really. It would seem that Alesha is milking her new found fame for as long as it lasts which will be about 3 months and FHM is only to happy to help since I would think she wouldn't command a high fee unlike the more A-list celebs, this is more like C to D-list.

As for other girlie content, a couple of shots of 3 girls from UFC (Ultimate Fighting). On the upside these are outdoors but again nothing much to write home about. Quite boring models really, nothing of their personality comes through. Just looks like another shameless advert for UFC which I have no interest in whatsoever.

The other shoot is of Ujjwala Raut, an Indian supermodel. 6 shots of her, most clothed and see needs a few more pies down her, too thin in my opinion. I didn't find her that attractive to look at.

So on the whole, a poor issue this month. If you haven't gone out and got it yet, save yourself a few quid and leave it. You're not missing anything. Looks like a bad month for this months release of mags.
