TBT: Cover story with 'the' Megan Fox

So apart from being ridiculously beautiful, actress Megan Fox was a great interview. Colour me surprised! If you've ever seen Megan Fox on chat shows, she's got great banter - a skill set I greatly appreciate esp when tight on deadline and have an intimidating page count to work with. We spoke for hours and she was endlessly entertaining and fun. And yeah, she looks like every pin-up dream at the same time.

The cover story was great fun - she was great fun.

Thirst Traps: Five Hotties Shot in Hong Kong:

So for clickbait, was told to use eyeball catching, inundated with innuendo taglines and titles. Well then...

Five guys shot and featured for magazines and the paper; actor and personal trainer James Wong, model David Oshry, cafe owner and rugby star Jonny Rees, model, stylist and now reality TV star Jeremy Wong and shipping heir Loui Lim.

Shot by Sam Salvador, Ruby Law, Dino Bush, Olivier Yoan and... me!

Thirst traps and Click Bait: Models and Puppies. And Cats.

One of the most fun features to write for online, a look at the pet concerns of our former cover stars. Rifling through their public Instagram accounts, finding the pictures with their dogs and cats - where inevitably they always look happiest - was a joyful day in the office.  

The feature did really well for online stats - it was the perfect recipe for clickbait, gorgeous people and their adorable pets. And we all know the internet was made for cat images to proliferate.  

Some of the past cover stars; Sean O'Pry, David Gandy, Lucky Blue and so many others. Read the full feature and see the scroll of pics here.
