UK FHM - January 2009

New year, new calendar with this issue. Sadly the calendar is nothing to write home about as predicted. It features one shot each of most of the girls featured in 2008 but most of these photoshoots didn't offer much in the first place when they appeared in the magazine.

On to the issue itself, the main cover star is Katy Perry. Ok, she's what you call a A-list celebrity I suppose but again it appears most of the entire budget has been blown this month again on the main feature. The shoot itself is taken in a old Victorian building overlooking Buckingham Palace so the article says anyway, we don't actually see the Palace through the windows. If you're into Perry's legs then this is a shoot for you, the shoot is very Arena-isque in style. Nothing revealing is worn and the poses are not at all adventurous.

The other shoots feature Beatrice Rosen, an actress who recently starred in Sharpe's Peril. Again, nothing to get overly bothered about. One shot in this shoot is a full-page but out of focus which makes it pointless in my opinion and it seems intentional.

Lastly, the other shoot has a couple of shots of a girl who was in Hollyoaks. Again, it's just the run-of-the-mill underwear shots, bland and boring.
