“I love Los Angeles and this is the place where someone’s dreams can come true.” Janet! It is an absolute honor to have you as our May cover, were you excited to shoot for FHM? Thanks. Yes, I was very excited to shoot for FHM. For those that don’t already know you, Janet, maybe you could give a brief history of who you are and what led you to this point? I was born in 09/03/1990 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. I am the second oldest among 4 siblings. I have 3 brothers. I played baseball when I was a child and then played some Volleyball in high school. At the age of 15, I went to a modeling school and participated in a couple of fashion shows. Then I…

One important factor about setting goals is to be realistic. You may want to master a second deal or write a book within three months, but that’s not going to happen. You need to set some smaller goals first and see if you can achieve them. You’ll need to find what kind of time you can invest. Everyone’s schedule is different. So, typically, you’ll need to make adjustments as you go so you can find a balance between your regular day-today tasks and adding in time for these new goals. We all push ourselves in different ways. However, I believe that we all are the same in one way: once we set a goal and achieve it, we’re more likely to continue along that same path. If you’ve done it…

SCOTCH AND SODA If you’ve read the books you’ll know that the scotch and soda mix is an obvious choice of our hero. Also, if the soda has you feeling a little too soft then just leave it out. Be a man! 2oz (60ml) scotch Soda to top up Pour the scotch of your choice into a highball glass, add ice, then top it up with soda and you're ready to go. VESPER MARTINI For those that didn’t know, Bond actually ordered this drink in the books and it is named after the lovely Vesper, yet another stunning Bond girl. The cool thing about this drink is that James himself describes, and in doing so, creates it. You'll need to mix together three parts Gordon’s Gin (or a gin of…

For the past fifteen years, BMW’s hottest 1 Series has been powered by a 3.0-liter straight six sending power to the rear wheels. The only evolution to that format was the introduction of turbocharging from the 130i to the 135i. Looking at the new M135 xDrive, it’s hard to trace it back to its forebears because this is the furthest BMW’s hot hatchback formula has ever deviated, so much so that it’s now a generic facsimile of every other 268hp+ German hatchback out there. The BMW 1 Series used to bring something different to the table What BMW has given us is a similar powertrain to the X2 M35i but with a lower center of gravity and a lower base point, although our tested model made this comparison rather moot.…

TELL US SOMETHING SURPRISING ABOUT YOU? I can bake the most amazing chocolate soufflé! I experimented with it so much until I really perfected it. WHAT INSPIRES YOU? Seeing other people who are extremely driven inspires me. People that stand out, go against the norms and don’t care what other people think. WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO PURSUE A CAREER IN MODELING? I never would have guessed that I would be where I am now based on my past. I was defintely the odd one out when I was younger and much less confident. Now I have really grown into myself and feel like a completely different person. I absolutely love what I do. Being in front of a camera just feels natural to me. I think it’s so much…

I love doing things differently and challenging what is the norm at the moment WERE YOU EXCITED TO SHOOT FOR FHM? I was very excited to work with FHM, and to be a part of such a storied and big US magazine, especially considering how I’m from a small town in Northern Norway. DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN ONE SENTENCE: I’m a hardworking person with large ambitions. WHAT WOULD YOU CONSIDER TO BE YOUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE AS A MODEL SO FAR? Anything that I have found challenging I have only seen as a learning experience. I have done shoots in both extreme cold and extreme heat and went into the experiences head on knowing this is something that will help me grow as a model. HOW DID YOU LEARN TO MODEL? I…
