Maggie Tan - Maxim Singapore, August 2007

Introducing Maggie Tan – model, actress and all round hottie.

Some of you guys may recognise her – she was the girl holding briefcase No. 4 in the local version of the US TV Game Show, Deal Or No Deal (Season 1). I don’t usually watch TV Game Shows, but perhaps I should, especially if they feature girls like her :) Click the wiki link to find out more.

This scan is from the August 2007 issue of Maxim Singapore. Maggie was also the cover girl. It was a smoking hot cover btw, and that was what attracted me to buy that particular issue. Sadly, Maxim Singapore is no more. It closed just as it was finding its footing.

I have released 2 scans of Maggie Tan from the Maxim photoshoot to my dScans WWSA series. There were more pictures in the magazine, but I felt these 2 were the best ones. Check out the bikini scan that I posted here: that’s an awesome lookin’ body and oh that sexy belly button! Smokin’ baby! Maggie has a longish face, and she should really smile more – it really makes her face light up. Not that I’m complaining about this come-hither look shown in the pics. LOL

Rachel Nichols - Maxim June 2001

Well, I just watched the GI Joe movie. I enjoyed it. Checked all the right boxes for a blockbuster summer movie. Big explosions, spiffy special effects, great fight scenes, a truly awesome car chase sequence, nasty villains, beautiful women and of course, square jawed heroes. Oh yeah, a way over-the-top plot to tie everything together. All black and white, good vs evil. No ambiguity here! And the good guys won (sorta). You do know a sequel will be coming along, right? :)

For a supposedly kiddie movie, the body count was surprisingly high - the bad guys seemed to have no compunction killing people, collateral damage be damned! And some are pretty graphic, like the part where the pretty blond female soldier got skewered right in front of her CO by the baddie from behind. But hey, it's all good if you don't see any blood right? :)

I know some reviewers are totally savaging the movie, but I liked it. It was more satisfying to me than the 2 hour snoozefest that was the latest Harry Potter movie (which the reviewers seemed to like). But hey, I'm not a movie reviewer, so what do I know? :)

The 2 leading ladies looked very good indeed. And talk about misleading advertising...Rachel Nichols only appeared in that black skin tight combat suit for only a couple of seconds near the end of the movie - shucks.

As promised, here are the Rachel Nichols scans. I've released 4 for my dScans WWSA series. Hope you like them! As usual, grab the full sized scans from either my Yahoo Groups or Google Groups.

Rachel Nichols - Maxim June 2001

Well, the blast from the past continues. This time we have Rachel Nichols, circa 2001. Rachel, as you may know, is currently starring in the latest action movie, GI Joe - The Rise of Cobra. I believe she's playing the character, Lady Scarlett.

This Maxim photoshoot has her posing in a camo swimsuit in the middle of some jungle. And now, 8 years later, she's acting in a GI Joe movie. Coincidence? :)

Anyway, I'll be catching the movie later tonight. I wonder if she's aged well....

I will be releasing the Rachel Nichols scans under my dScans WWSA series. Watch for it soon!

Felicia Chin

I have just released 2 scans of Felicia Chin. As usual, you can get the full-sized scans via my Yahoo Groups & Google Groups.

So the latest foray into long forgotten corners of my room continues. My room was being repainted, and it was an opportunity to clear through the mounds of stuff that clutter the floor. I unearthed plenty of old magazines. One of which featured Felicia Chin, circa 2005.

I think it's interesting to see the steady progression from her first underwhelming FHM shoot to the current cutie we see today. I don't normally scan "backwards" chronologically speaking, so it's kind of a reverse time warp, or something. Speaking of which, I SHOULD still have that FHM issue around somewhere, but I still haven't found it yet.

This particular scan was from a 2 page magazine spread. I felt that the plain white background was kinda boring, so I decided to draw some patterns using some of the more exotic brushes in Photoshop CS2.This particular brush gives a leaf pattern, and the size varies with the pressure you put on your stylus. The harder you press down, the bigger the pattern. I doodled on the background with a variety of colours, and I think it makes a nice accent.
