This month's main feature is Emily Scott (again...). Although that said it is another rather decent shoot with three full-nude pics. The photographer is former Page 3 model Zoe McConnell and for a relatively new photographer she is doing rather well. The other girlie content this month is Loui Batley from Hollyoaks in her first lad's mags shoot or so it says anyway. However, the shoot is rather disappointing and bland. It's just your run-of-the-mill lingerie shots and she doesn't appear to be enjoying it or she is quite nervous. Nothing sexy comes across in this shoot but we hope for better in the future.
There is also another feature which has a few pics of Amii Grove who is always worth seeing with one just about full nude at the end of the feature. Again, the International Girls of Maxim has some two single pics worth seeing.
Also, Maxim features the 'Hot Top 10' for the Miss Maxim 2007, my money is on Racheal.
In addition the magazine you get a free DVD featuring the cover girls from recent issues, usually the content is from the website and the quality isn't good. I haven't watched the DVD and I doubt I will watch it so it's another free DVD case for me. The DVD's in the past have been pretty poor and since they're free, you get what you pay for...

UK FHM - November 2007
Considering the past (new look) issues, this month's FHM is alittle disappointing. As far as the girlie content goes Abbey Clancy is just about the only thing worth seeing (and it's just about the only girlie content in it this month). Again, the photographer who did this shoot has also done quite a few for Arena in the past. The shoot is quite stylish with a decent mix of black and white shots along with colour - all on location which again is good to see. It is worth seeing.
The High Street Honeys supplement is pretty awful and only a small handful would be worthy of the title in my opinion. It is usually best to wait until the votes cut them down to 10 finalists and FHM actually take a decent shoot of them rather than seeing these awful mobile/webcam stills. How are you supposed to make any kind of judgement on the contenders based on the quality of the images is beyond me. However, considering Maxim's similar competition to FHM's who on earth selected these Top 100 in the first place as the quality of Maxim's contenders seem to be of far higher calibre and have far better quality images. Perhaps rather harsh but you just can't make any judgement due to the quality.
I'll wait for the Final 10 Honeys....

UK FHM - October 2007
If you are into the TV Cult series 'Heroes' at the moment then this month's FHM has a treat for you in the form of Hayden Panettiere in her apparently first Men's magazine shoot. Would have preferred Ali Carter... The Hayden shoot also includes Maki Oka (the Japanese guy that can stop time), the shoot itself looks well executed and sharp although Hayden is fully clothed with some close-up head shots throughout perhaps the only slight gripe against it as the evidence of the paparazzi beach shots show that she has something worth showing off. The style of shoot is again pretty similar to Arena's style of photography.
As far as the rest of girlie content goes, not a lot to say - there is a couple of shoots but they are of complete unknowns, some girl of UFC (Ultimate Fighting) who holds up the ring boards as an example. I never heard of them anyway and they are nowhere near the quality of the Hayden shoot.
A decent issue with some features and articles that again will interest most readers, perhaps though not as good as the last issue but still FHM is moving the right direction. The feedback FHM has received over it's rebrand has been on the whole positive according the letter's section but I guess they would put the the positive feedback letters in though wouldn't they?

Playboy's Playmate Review - Aug/Sep 2007
It's that time of the year again when Playboy releases it's annual Playmate Review of the previous year's 12 Playmates. They market it as a collector's edition but if you regularly buy the SE's and Playboy magazine itself you won't see much new here. Quite a few pics are recycled from previous shoots that have featured in issues before this one and within the CyberClub. Playmates featured are (from Jan 2007 - Dec 2007) Athena Lundberg, Cassandra Lynn, Monica Leigh, Holley Ann Dorrough, Alison Waite, Stephanie Larimore, Sara Jean Underwood, Nicole Voss, Janine Habeck, Jordan Monroe, Sarah Elizabeth and Kia Drayton.
Sara Jean Underwood is Playmate of the Year so she graces the front cover. The overall content quality of the pics is quite good although as usual the print lets it down in some areas. Notable pics worth seeing are Nicole Voss, Sara Jean Underwood and Monica Leigh.
This bunch of Playmates' from 2006 is a decent selection, something for everybody I think. Although I wish a few them was smile a bit more at the camera, something that needs addressing across all issues.
