Tell us a little bit about yourself, Emily.
I was born and raised in London but I’m a bit of a water baby and have always loved the ocean. I used to be a lifeguard, am a qualified scuba diver and I have surfed all over the world. I’m really fortunate as I have also been able to travel a lot as a model and through representing England at international beauty pageants. This has helped me experience new cultures and meet people from different walks of life. I studied fashion design at university and after graduating went on to launch a fashion label called Aloura London. This inspired me to explore other business opportunities and start up two other companies. I’m managing my three companies. I run a high-end women’s wear brand, a matchmaking agency and a luxury concierge. As you can imagine I’m always on the go, but when I do get a spare moment I like to spend this with my close friends and family.

What would people be most surprised to know about you?
Most people are quite shocked to hear I own a few businesses and have already started climbing the property ladder.

How would you describe yourself in five words?
My friends would describe me as intelligent, witty, ambitious, confident and worldly.

What is your best asset?
My mind and personality as it allows me not only to achieve business goals but to experience happiness and show others kindness. Physically, I would say my smile.

When do you feel sexy?
Feeling sexy is a personal experience. Nothing beats getting up in the morning and doing an amazing workout at the gym then coming home, having a shower and slipping into my outfit for the day, because this means I’m ready for business and nothing is sexier than a woman on a mission.

What do you look for in a man?
I’m a very outgoing woman who knows what I want. I like a man who is confident in their own skin, driven, hardworking, handsome, but most importantly a man who is thoughtful and puts spending time with me as a priority.

What’s next for you? Any big plans for 2020?
I’m currently working on some big projects to eradicate homelessness in my country. I would also like to have my companies more established and expand my offices worldwide, as well as continuing to raise donations for people less fortunate in the community.

Tell us a little bit about yourself, Susie.
I’m from the UK and my family on my mother’s side is Brazilian – so, I definitely grew up with both cultures in my life! I’ve been modelling since I was 14 and I’m now 24 and starting to pursue other avenues such as starting a business.

What do you do when you’re not posing for FHM?
I’m a full-time model, so I shoot five days a week in the UK and internationally, but I also run a home accessories business which keeps me super busy in my free time. I also love to cook for my loved ones so I always make time to make a “Susie Special” at least once a week!

What would people be most surprised to know about you?
My fascination with the Egyptian pyramids and deep space.

Describe yourself in five words.
Curious, ambitious, playful, loyal and caring.

What is your best asset?
I definitely think my mind is my best asset. I have a huge appetite for learning and growing – hence why I love meeting new people from all walks of life, it helps open my mind to different ways of living and educate myself on topics and issues I may not come across in my own life. It’s also why I started a business because I feel it’s more mentally stimulating than modelling and keeps me on my toes!

When do you feel sexy?
When I’m completely natural – I love wearing my naturally curly hair with minimal to no make-up and looking like my true self.

What do you look for in a man?
Intelligence, ambition, integrity and respect. And I’ve never seen a beard I didn’t like.

Describe your ideal date.
Anything where we can talk – I’m not high maintenance at all so we could do anything and I’ll have a great time as long as we aren’t stuck on our phones!

What’s next for you?
I’m working on my business, growing it and hopefully making all my customers really happy with their orders. Also, going harder with modelling – I have a bad habit of doing well and then slowing down, but this year I’m giving all my passions 100 percent!

Tell us a little about yourself, Daria.
I was born in a beautiful Russian city called Nizhny Novgorod. I was very creative and started modelling from a young age. My mum also used to be a model and she introduced me to the fashion industry when I was little. After completing my first degree studying architecture, I left Russia to continue my education in Milan, Italy. Since moving abroad my life has completely changed by being surrounded by diverse art and culture, doing further travelling, more modelling and making new friends around the world.

What do you do when you are not posing for FHM?
My biggest passion in life is photography, so when I’m not doing the posing, I’m making someone else pose for me.

What would people be most surprised to know about you?
People assume I’m just a model but I’m also an artist who has displayed her work at several exhibitions worldwide.

Describe yourself in five words.
Positive, active, curious, spontaneous and passionate.

When do you feel sexy?
When I’m running free and naked in beautiful exotic places – it gives me the feeling that I have a connection with the world and I’m part of the nature.

What is your best asset?
I’m proud of my healthy, strong body and positive mindset.

Describe your ideal date?
It would be something interesting and exciting and not the usual date of just dinner or drinks.

What’s next for you?
I have a lot of plans and ideas. I’m currently working on my new project as a photographer which I’m very excited about. So, let’s see if I can make it happen. Watch this space.

Tell us a little bit about yourself, Olivia.
From the quiet Yarra Valley girl to FHM cover girl I feel like my life story has evolved a lot in the past 12 months! I’d always dabbled in modelling but being presented on the cover of this magazine has offered some amazing opportunities for me including travel to Africa, Thailand and Fiji – thank you! I was then fortunate enough to start freelance modelling both in Australia and in London and since then I have set out some big plans for myself in 2020.

What would people be most surprised to know about you?
I’m a bit of a spiritual guru, I love crystals and oracle cards and truly surrounding myself with healthy energy through self-talk and daily rituals.

Describe yourself in five words.
Goal-driven, loyal, curious, spiritual and down-to-earth – this totally encapsulates my star sign, Taurus.

What is your best asset?
I really appreciate my compassion for other people. Physically, I’d say that I am complimented on my smile a lot. I love this because it just makes my smile bigger.

When do you feel sexy?
Looking after my body, my mind and creating a daily focus around my eight dimensions of health! I can’t stress enough that self-love is far more important than just putting on a sexy persona — feeling truly sexy is the embodiment of your own relationship with yourself.

What do you do when you’re not posing for FHM?
Bookkeeping, entrepreneurship, travelling and gym!

What do you look for in a man?
I don’t look for anything. If the chemistry is real then I trust myself that this person is worth investing time in.

What is your life motto?
As we grow, we change and my motto changes quite often depending on what’s resonating with me at the time. At the moment my current motto is, “Live and let live” – it motivates me to focus only on what I can control and let go of what I can’t. It’s great and it just really makes me chill out!

What’s next for you?
I’ve been working tirelessly on releasing an online women’s fitness apparel store in 2020 and I plan to have this all come to life in the coming months! Not only is this keeping me busy but I have also teamed up as an ambassador with some pretty exciting brands this year who I can’t wait to announce soon.

What’s the best thing about this photo shoot for FHM Escapes?
Getting to connect with different creatives from all over the world – we had the best team! It’s every girl’s dream to run around one of the most beautiful locations in the world feeling sexy and luxurious.

What would people be most surprised to know about you?
I have a major obsession with Harry Potter – it’s almost a sickness. I own so much Harry Potter paraphernalia.

Describe yourself in five words.
Ambitious, outgoing, compassionate, spontaneous, trustworthy.

What is your best asset?
My legs – they literally go on for days. Personality wise, I would say my sense of humor. I can’t go one day without laughing and being happy – it’s life’s medicine.

When do you feel sexy?
I feel at my sexiest when my make-up and hair is done and I’m prancing around in a bikini and/or lingerie – I get to show off my skin and curves.

What would you be doing if you weren’t modelling?
I’ve been modelling for about 10 years but if I wasn’t I’d probably be teaching English in foreign countries since it goes along with my addiction to travelling.

What do you look for in a man?
Tall, muscular, funny, outgoing, chivalrous, loyal, honest, respectful, a great listener and conversationalist. Someone who also treats his family wonderfully is ambitious, aggressive, sensual, romantic and confident but not super conceited. He is charismatic, loving and smells insanely good. A man who wants to be married and have children someday, someone who believes in doing the right thing and who can bring home the bacon. Am I asking for too much?

Probably not. Would you ever date one of your followers?
I don’t discriminate. If you’re following me and you reach out, and I actually see the message, and I like what I see then sure, why not?

What’s next for you?
I actually have a pretty major project coming up I’m not allowed to talk about until it’s released. All I can say is that it’s well worth the wait and you’d better get used to seeing my face!

Tell us a little bit about yourself, Audrey.
I’m very grateful and blessed to have lived a very dimensional and fulfilling life at such a young age already. I’m a single 20-year-old, I’ve travelled to over 20 countries, I’m currently working at a luxury car dealership and proud mum to a Samoyed puppy. I grew up a dancer and was trained in everything from ballet and pointe – to drill team with high kicks and hip-hop. I’m passionate about giving back – I foster dogs as well as tutor children at the local middle and high schools in my area. I’m beyond thankful that my parents raised me to not only be kind, but to be ambitious and intelligent as well. I created my lifestyle with hard work, nothing was handed to me.

What is your best asset?
My eyes. I’ve got bright green eyes from my dad’s side, but my left eye is half brown on the top because of a birthmark. My grandma always said the old saying that “eyes are the windows to the soul” and I love mine. My best non-physical trait would either be my work ethic or kindness and generosity.

When do you feel sexy?
When I’m the best version of myself. Self-confidence comes from within, so when I’m taking care of my body physically and my soul mentally – that’s the sexiest. I could be in sweatpants with no make-up or all dolled up in lingerie for a photoshoot and it makes no difference.

What do you do when you’re not posing for FHM?
You can most likely find me at my day job, volunteering or spending time with friends and family. I work at an Aston Martin dealership and my family fosters dogs for local rescues.

Describe yourself in five words.
Driven, kind, easy-going, trustworthy, ambitious.

What do you look for in a man?
Physically – I’m a sucker for dark hair and light eyes and preferably at least the same height as me in my heels. More importantly, though, is how a man makes me feel. If someone brings out the best in me, encourages me, makes me laugh and can be a true partner to me then I’m sold!

Finally, where would you like to be in five years?
One goal is to have visited 30 countries by the time I’m 30, which means five or more in the next five years to stay on track! I also want to have written a book, settled into a career and learn a new language.

Tell us a little bit about yourself, Emma.
I’m an Aussie model who has been based between Australia and Bali for the last three years chasing the sun and I’m launching my own swimwear label in 2020, which is really exciting.

What’s the best thing about this photo shoot for FHM Escapes?
Meeting an amazing team of like-minded creative people. Oh, and I did a nudie run! Rocky [photographer] had an idea for this image – a bum shot walking into the sunset. And I had the tan lines for it so I volunteered.

What is your best asset?
I think my bum and my sense of humour.

When do you feel sexy?
During an Aussie summer – I’m in my natural element at the beach.

What do you do when you’re not posing for FHM?
Binge watch my favourite TV shows in bed with a bun on top of my head and a face mask on. Probably eating some pizza and Nutella donuts.

How long have you been modelling?
I’ve been modelling for 10 years now. I actually wanted to be a psychologist when I graduated from high school – I finished my bachelor degree but have another three years left if I want to be a doctor. I love to study, so I’d never say never to going back.

What do you look for in a man?
Someone who makes me laugh, but my ideal date is Netflix and chill.

Where would you like to be in five years?
Living in the countryside with my family and pets. I grew up with horses, so I’d love to have a farm of my own with lots of animals to look after.

What do you do when you’re not posing for FHM?
I’m booked to pose somewhere else. In this industry it’s important to be present when I’m working. Sure, I enjoy the perks of fabulous locations but I’m here to work and I value my time and effort as I do other peoples.

Describe yourself in five words?
Super sexy, extra, extra extraordinary – that’s five already but I have to include spiritual, confident and aspiring.

How long have you’ve been modelling and what would you be doing if you weren’t?
If you ask my mum she will tell you I was posing from the womb. It’s just a very natural thing that I’m passionate about as my form of expression. If I weren’t modelling I would probably be a teacher.

When do you feel sexy?
My sexy is with me all the time – it’s a state of mind and I wear it like a crown of jewels. It’s important for people to understand they can be unapologetically sexy.

What do you look for in a man?
Wisdom and wealth. There is so much that a wise man has to offer because his wisdom is connected to so many other qualities like experience, good judgement and character. His wealth is not only monetary it’s in how he values the intangible things in life like people and life’s experiences.
Would you ever date one of your followers?
Why not? I’m sure my Mr. Right is already following me or will be soon.

Where would you like to be in five years?
I have goals that I set to challenge myself through my journey in life, but I think it’s important to always see yourself as being the most authentic you, wherever you are in life. I will be authentically me five years from now – even 10 or 20 years from now.

Tell us a little bit about yourself, Maddy.
I was born in Sri Lanka but my family lived around the world and finally settled in the UK. I went to four different schools in four different countries then ended up studying Pre-med at Uni and CBT (Psychology) at Oxford, afterwards. Today I don’t practice as a psychologist, instead I travel the world and work as a model.

What’s the best thing about this photo shoot for FHM Escapes?
The other girls I got to work with – their independent, empowered demeanour rubbed off on me. Also, this fun-filled but super educational trip allowed me to get inspired and be more unapologetically myself.

Are there any funny anecdotes you can share with us?
On the last night we all got together by the pool way past midnight and got personalised twerk lessons by Ashley. The scene was quite PG.

What is your best asset?
I think my tits. Sorry, I mean wits – phew!

When do you feel sexy?
When I’m dancing – not just when I’m out and wearing a hot number, but I play music and dance while I get ready every morning and in the car or anywhere really, it’s the best!

What would people be most surprised to know about you?
I am a former Miss Sri Lanka title holder.

Describe yourself in five words.
Independent, energetic, ambitious, clever, loving.

What would you be doing if you weren’t modelling?
I guess I’d be a psychologist. I love helping those in need and taking care of people – it’s in my nature.

What do you look for in a man?
Kind, loyal and supportive sounds good! But I am attracted to the athletic type.

Would you ever date one of your followers?
Yes, I have a few athletes who talk to me.

Describe your ideal date?
A remote island, villa perched on a hill overlooking the sea – just you and me.

Where would you like to be in five years?
Five times richer than I am today — haha! I’d like to be financially independent and successful on my own – this is always my goal – but the more I make, the more I seem to want to make.

Tell us a little bit about yourself, Paige.
I grew up in a small town within Los Angeles called Pacific Palisades and I’m the youngest of three children. Family, by far, is the most important thing to me – I am lucky to have two very supportive parents who taught me that I can be anything I want to be in the world. After college I took over a Pilates studio in my hometown that I still own and am able to manage while I travel the world modelling.

What’s the best thing about this photo shoot for FHM Escapes?
Taking the boat with all the girls to Phi Phi Island. My dad is a fisherman and I grew up on boats so it was fun to experience this with all of the girls. Our group shot on the island is my favourite FHM photo of all time.

What is your best asset?
Physically, my cute bellybutton. I used to be insecure about it because it was so high up on my tummy but through modelling and self-love, it has become the best physical thing about me. My best nonphysical asset is my compassion. I try to approach situations with compassion, especially in an argument, and look at what someone’s intention is before I react.

When do you feel sexy?
Right after a workout, when I’m sweaty and my face is red. I think it’s because I feel so accomplished after a workout and stripped down from all the make-up, hair, etc.

What would people be most surprised to know about you?
That even though it seems that I have “resting bitch face”, I’m actually quite friendly.

How would you describe yourself in five words?
Charismatic, conscientious, odd, occasionally manic.

What do you look for in a man?
Kindness is the number one most important thing I look for in a man. How he treats the people around him including his family, friends or anyone in the service industry.

Describe your ideal date?
To walk my dog down to the park near where I live and have a picnic. The ultimate test is if my dog likes you – she’s a very good judge of character.

Would you ever date one of your social media followers?
Of course. Successfully sliding into someone’s DMs is an art and I would date someone who can do this successfully.

Where would you like to be in five years?
I hope to be running a successful business and married with one or two little ones. I believe you really can have it all – just like my parents taught me.
