What would people be most surprised to know about you?
I’m actually incredibly shy and have been my whole life. The only reason I entered pageants was to try and break this. Even today, I’m still more on the reserved side and struggle in certain settings.

What is your best asset?
Kindness – I always pride myself on this one thing. After a person meets me, if they leave feeling only one thing, I hope it’s, “Wow, she’s so nice.” Physically? Well, my dad gave me pretty good legs. Thanks, Dad!

When do you feel sexy?
At the beach in a bikini, tanned and happy. The ocean is easily my happiest place on earth and when I’m happy and laughing in the sun, I feel very sexy.

What have you learnt about men over the years?
Don’t try and change a man.

What’s one thing men should always know about women?
Surprising us with coffee in bed goes a long way.

What do you look for in a man?
Loyalty. When I was younger I was always dating the life of the party. Now I just want someone who is kind, has a good head on their shoulders and only wants me.

Describe your ideal date.
Either a round of golf – a great way to get to know someone quickly – or a night-in watching movies, drinking wine and eating dessert.

Where would you like to be in five years?
Married with a happy, healthy family and a career I love that challenges me every day… and still travelling the world at the same time. ■

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I’m a small-town country girl who’s been studying science degrees and working in bookkeeping and real estate until I became a FHM cover girl a few months ago – this has changed the ball game in modelling opportunities for me.

How long have you been modelling?
I’ve been involved in the industry since I was 15 but only recently started taking it a bit more seriously in the last 12 months. I don’t rely on modelling as I’m also a bookkeeper and studying exercise science. So, there’s never all my eggs in one basket – there are many avenues I’m still assessing.

What is your best asset?
My sweet urge to succeed. I’m very determined and have been since I was a little girl. I’ve learnt to enjoy the journey, and the smaller victories it requires, to reach my ultimate goals.

When do you feel sexy?
When I’ve been looking after my health and keeping fit because it makes me feel strong, confident, unstoppable, bad-ass and beautiful.

What’s one thing men should always know about women?
We want happiness for the ones we love. Our feelings are always very passionate and it’s only because we care so much. Women are incredible.

What do you look for in a man?
I don’t necessarily look for anything – if there is a genuine connection and chemistry I can feel, then that’s all I need to know.

Describe your ideal date.
Anything outdoors and active is always so much fun or… a road trip.

What’s the weirdest thing someone has sent you via social media?
Whilst on this trip with FHM Escapes in Mozambique – you know, Africa, on the other side of the world?! – I get this message, “Hey, are you in Africa at the moment? Let’s catch up, I’m next door.” What?!

Where would you like to be in five years?
Well, one of the things attracting me to modelling is the opportunity it provides me to travel and work with a variety of clients in Australia and abroad. In five years I’d like to be seen as somebody with a diverse portfolio of clients in the fitness/swimwear industry. The world is my oyster!

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I’ve experienced a lot in my short life. These positive and negative experiences have shaped me for the better and wiser woman I am today. Aside from modelling, I have a degree in Clinical Nutrition and a minor in Psychology – I have a passion for preventative medicine and helping others. I love getting the most out of life and I will never stop travelling or learning. This world is such a beautiful place and I want to share this with the world and help others along the way.

How long have you been modelling and what would you do if you weren’t a model?
I’ve been modelling full-time for five years and part-time 10 years. If I wasn’t modelling I’d be a dietitian.

What is your best asset?
Physically, my eyes and smile. Green eyes are pretty rare and people often ask if they are my real eyes. I also like my determination in life – I don’t give up easy when I set my mind to doing something.

When do you feel sexy?
After an amazing workout, oddly enough – I feel alive and endorphins are flowing.

What’s one thing men should always know about women?
We are strong, both mentally and physically, and can handle pretty much everything we are given to do.

What do you look for in a man?
A kind smile, compassionate to others, humorous and goal driven.

Where would you like to be in five years?
I’d love to have a couple of successful businesses and be on a beach somewhere drinking sangria, soaking in the sunshine.

What’s next for you?
I’m working on my own lifestyle channel on YouTube and IG, so come travel and learn with me!

Hello, I’m Ashley – what’s up?! My iconic introduction from the beginning of my modelling career, which has stuck with me from shoot to shoot, is… First Koh Samui, then came Bali and now this FHM Escapes Mozambique – this makes a trio that is sexy times three.

Yes, this is my third FHM trip and what I love the most are the amazing people I meet and the friendships that extend beyond the experience. I can’t tell you how important it is to have besties in the industry – we make each other better, we share much interest and we create awesome energy that shows through the lens. We have power-packed itineraries that are the perfect balance of work and play and I’m sure to bring the sexiest content – I want my viewers to know I have them in mind with every shot.

When not shooting we play on the beach and share amazing life experiences. It is like a huge slumber party but better because sleeping is optional and the party never stops. Out of Africa – FHM Escapes was award-winning just like the movie. Many thanks to the World-renowned producer Belinda Roelofs and photographers that never cease to bring the hottest pics that drives my views and followers on social media through the roof. To the little monkey who swiped my biscuits in the morning, you will be missed. I am beyond blessed and grateful for these FHM experiences and can’t wait for the next stop – Thailand.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I’m from Tyre, Lebanon and grew up on the Mediterranean shore, in a conservative society, where the simple idea of a woman posing for swimwear was considered as obscene. So, this was my daily motivation to pursue my dreams, assert my convictions and be the model for my very own swimwear JK SWIMWEAR. Aside from modelling, I am a certified yoga trainer, teaching in my own yoga studio, JK Fitness Space – vinyasa yoga, yin yoga and aerial yoga.

How long have you been modelling?
Driven by my hunger to prove myself, I headed to the world of beauty pageants, when I was only 18, and piled on one title after another and one exciting participation after another. From Miss Lebanon in 2009 to Miss Bikini Universe and Miss Beauty Arab in 2013. In 2015, I participated as well in the third season of Dancing with the Stars Middle East. With two songs launched in 2014 and appearing in a Lebanese movie titled Zafafian in 2017, I set the bars very high. Yet, I decided to move into the world of entrepreneurship creating my own lingerie brand Marry Jane Lingerie, followed by my own sportswear line JK Sportswear.

What’s one thing men should always know about women?
A strong woman won’t let a man think he has a 100 percent hold on her, and she’ll stand up for herself when he steps over the line. She knows what she wants – she’s feminine flowery on the outside and steel on the inside. She has a presence of mind because she isn’t swept away by a romantic fantasy.

When do you feel sexy?
I feel sexy when I’m being myself and not trying too hard to be what I’m not. Just being natural is sexy and everything is in the eyes! Plus, when I’m shooting for FHM Australia, with amazing people, and wearing Mary Holland Lingerie.

What is your best asset?
My mind. It connects me to riches, wealth, peace, prosperity, internal rest, financial independence and financial freedom. My inner world creates my outer world.

What’s next for you?
I’m currently acting in a new Lebanese series and this is just the start – the best is yet to come!

Tell us a bit about yourself.
Grew up in Newport Beach, California, did varsity swimming and cross-country in high school and I’m currently a certified personal trainer at F45 Newport Beach. I’m an absolute thrill seeker – think swimming with sharks, cliff jumping, hiking in Thailand, etc…

How long have you been modelling and what would you do if you weren’t?
I’ve done some modelling since high school. My dream job outside of modelling would be a publicist at a sports agency.

When do you feel sexy?
When I have salty beach hair and a solid tan.

What is your best asset?
Long legs and a big heart.

What do you look for in a man?
A funny, confident and take-charge kind of guy. Being athletic and tall also helps!

What’s the freakiest thing someone has sent you via social media?
Someone asking for my undies!

What’s next for you?
My Instagram @bikinifitclub is a successful business and I’m a well-recognised business woman in the sports industry. So, up next I’ll be launching @bikinifitclub products and finding my dream job at a top sports agency!

How long have you been modelling?
On and off, from my first shoot with Gucci to now, it’s been eight years! If I wasn’t modelling, I’d be working full-time behind the scenes in event planning and event production, which I currently do in between modelling jobs.

When do you feel sexy?
I’m really into driving sports cars lately and there’s just something about wearing a classy dress with heels and stepping out of a McLaren that makes me feel powerful.

What is your best asset?
I started training twice a day, a month prior, for this shoot and squatting is not fun when you can’t feel your legs – my butt deserves a gold medal!

What would people be most surprised to know about you?
Cherry is my real name – it’s on my passport.

What do you look for in a man?
I used to care so much about being picture perfect, but I think as we mature we just want a person who is our best friend – someone who makes our heart tingle, believes in us, makes us want to try new things and be a better person.

What’s next for you?
After shooting with FHM my mentality really changed – I’m trying to get back into modelling in Asia but don’t let anyone limit you to a frame of what you should be. You can be a boss of a company and still model – modelling doesn’t define you. So, live a little more, make memories and enjoy life.

Tell us a bit more about yourself.
I was born and raised in London, England and I’m a bit of a water baby – I’ve always loved the ocean. I used to be a lifeguard, am a qualified scuba diver and I’ve surfed all over the world. I’m really fortunate as I’ve 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 I went on to launch a fashion label called Aloura London – this inspired me to explore other business opportunities and start up two other companies.

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.

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

Describe your ideal man?
I am a very outgoing woman who knows what I want. My ideal partner would therefore have to be someone who is very confident in their own skin, someone who is driven, hardworking and handsome, but most importantly someone who is thoughtful and puts spending time with me as a priority.

What’s the best way for a man to win his way to your heart?
The small things in life are more important to me than big bold gestures. I love it when a man puts in the time to see how my day was and shows he genuinely knows me for who I am.

What’s one thing men should always remember about women?
Women and men are from different planets and therefore making the task of understanding each other sometimes tricky. A man should never assume that our thought patterns are the same. I think this is where a lot of men go wrong.

What’s next for you?
World domination – just kidding! I would like to have grown into an even better version of myself and for my businesses to be more successful. I’d love to even have a matchmaker television series in the UK.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I grew up in a small town called Pacific Palisades in California – it’s a beautiful place just in between Malibu and Santa Monica. I started dancing (modern and hip-hop) from a young age and still enjoy it a lot. I moved away to college in Washington, DC and when I returned home I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to take over a Pilates studio in my hometown. Now I live in Santa Monica and still own the studio – it’s very fulfilling to me to watch people’s bodies heal and change through Pilates.

Are there any other funny anecdotes you can share about this FHM Escapes experience?
True story: A monkey grabbed my phone when I had set it up on self-timer to take photos so I had to run inside, grab a cookie and trade it for my phone. Monkey 1, Paige 0.

When do you feel sexy?
I feel sexiest when I first wake up in the morning – this is my most natural state – there’s no make-up on my face, no fancy clothes on and no filters. It’s just me in my rawest form.

What is your best asset?
My ability to make people laugh. I try to at least get a giggle out of someone everywhere I go. When someone laughs I feel like they forget about whatever is stressing them out for just a small moment and that’s fulfilling for me.

What do you look for in a man?
True kindness. I think being kind is overlooked these days especially in the wake of social media. You can tell what someone has or what they look like but you’re unable to see who they truly are when the mask is off.

Got a hidden talent?
I can understand Spanish but I don’t look like I understand Spanish so everyone is pleasantly surprised in Mexico when I can help navigate where to go or find out where the bathrooms are.

What’s next for you?
I’m excited to be invited back with FHM Australia to Thailand! I love the team and everyone who works there. I had such a positive experience in Africa and it opened so many doors for me.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I was born in Bournemouth, England and was fortunate to grow up travelling many different countries and places, skiing and boating and I believe myself to be quite cultured. I moved over to sunny Australia with my family when I was 12, which I’m very thankful for. I grew up in Sydney then moved to the Gold Coast where I went to university to become a Dietitian which is what I am today.

What would people be most surprised to know about you?
I always like to keep myself looking and feeling good, dressing up and wearing nice things for dinners and going on nice holidays, but I’m certainly not afraid to get dirty and rough it whether it’s camping out with no showers, going on overnight hikes with all belongings and tent on my back or competing in competitions like the Tough Mudder. I like to think I’m a good mix between classy and tomboy.

How long have you been modelling?
Modelling is a new thing for me – shooting for FHM is only my second photo shoot ever – and it’s always been a huge dream of mine. Although I have an outgoing personality, getting in front of the camera and posing is something that daunted me. The older I get the less I bother about what people think of me and I’m just happy living my life to the fullest and I want the same for everyone around me.

When do you feel sexy?
When I’ve just come off the beach, I’m tanned, music is playing whilst I shower and then slip on a robe to get ready to go out for dinner.

What is your best asset?
My hair as it’s natural and I don’t have to do anything to it. Otherwise, my gratefulness for everything I have had, have and will have.

What do you look for in a man?
Someone who is down to earth, loving and has drive! Someone not afraid of a good time and I value honesty, true happiness and supportiveness. Is that too much to ask?

Wouldn’t have thought so. What’s next for you?
Photo shoots, photo shoots and more photo shoots! I now have lots of goals within modelling I want to achieve with this newfound courage. Alongside this, I’ll be launching my own online dietitian and fitness plans so keep your eyes peeled!
