my latest pictorial for the Cosmopolitan Magazine
When Angel Locsin posed for FHM, she never did it like the other cover
girls who wore either sexy dresses or swimsuit. Now, it seems that
Angel is ready to take the challenge as she poses for the cover of
Cosmopolitan magazine this March.
Trust Angel Locsin to take
everyone by surprise. Despite being a constant fixture on FHM’s 100
Sexiest Women in the World poll, Angel has chosen to pose in a swimsuit
for the very first time on the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine.
"First
time ko ‘to," she told the Cosmo team during the shoot, "I hope it
turns out well. Inisip ko kasi, if gagawin ko ‘to, it might as well be
on Cosmo." After all, posing for Cosmo would mean reaching fun fearless
females like herself.
Despite being one of the biggest names in
the industry today, Angel was surprisingly shy at the Cosmo cover
shoot, getting quite jittery over the sexy summer shoot and clowning
around with the Cosmo team just to loosen up. The jitters don’t show in
Angel’s confident pose, as she says, "Lahat naman tayong mga babae, may
body issues, di ba? But you should be happy with your body and
comfortable in your own skin."
For Angel, being comfortable in
your own skin shows in the way you carry yourself. She encourages Cosmo
girls everywhere to make an effort to always look presentable and even
dare to be kikay.
"Iba rin yung feeling ‘pag nakaayos kapag
lalabas ka’t alam mong okay ang itsura mo, ready kang harapin kahit
sino." Angel points out, "It’s great to be in jeans and T-shirt, but
it’s also great to be in a dress."
Angel continues to strive
towards becoming a better version of herself by branching out of her
comfort zone. Since 2007, she has taken time off to study fashion in
London, become a first-time producer with the movie Angels, and is now
learning how to play the guitar. "You have to keep on learning," she
says, "You shouldn’t get complacent." Clearly, Angel has become a woman
of substance.
