One more month until Spring and we can’t wait! No time for hibernating at UCM and we are as busy as ever planning for the next couple of months. We’ll be shooting 3 all new FHM “Ninja” TV commercials ourselves this month.

UCM Creative Director, Erik Verster will be directing them. One will even be shot in our own office! See if you can spot the FHM Ninja!

Coming up next week is the first UCM pub quiz, to be hosted in Cape Town. We’ll then do one in Johannesburg in early Spring and who knows perhaps even do a quiz off between the two regional winners, just for fun. Then there’s heat Man Watch, the heat Hair and Beauty Awards, FHM Style and Grooming Awards, FHM Lingerie Special, FHM Gadget Special, heat HOT 100, heat Summer Shopping Guide, FHM’s 10th Birthday and FHM Calendar, all before Xmas! So be sure not to miss a single issue of FHM or heat!






In order not to give too much away with regards to the FHM Lingerie Special 2009 shoot, here is a little sneak preview of the location.

Double dealing: FHM September

Not just one of the hottest women on earth on the cover! TWO of them! And they’re SISTERS! The Krupa Sisters, Joanna and Monica! In all their skimpy finery in the September FHM! Plus a massive poster of them, with Springbok legend Pierre Spies on the back! There’s also a feature on people who died while shagging, and a chat with Cassie Booyse, the guy who was Vernon Koekemoer. We show you how to train like Brian Mitchell and be a love god with FHM sex advisor Coralie. Then there’s a chat with extreme swimmer Lewis Pugh, the first ever mafia don, Maradona, Barry Hilton and a few more brand-new super-hotties, especially for you!


heat Man Watch

heat’s going to make one very lucky man famous… Hot South African men have been sending in their best angles to be a part of the first ever heat Man Watch torso competition and now it’s time for the heat readers to vote for their favourite! During the last couple of weeks, hundreds of entries have already been received from hopefuls, their girlfriends, or even from proud mothers! Every week’s issue of heat features a selection of hotties on the new “heat Man Watch” pages, inviting the public to vote for their favourite (by sending a SMS with the name of the guy to 34976). Check out the torsolicious hotties at heat.co.za!


UCM Digital Social Networking

The launch of heat Man Watch seems to be a perfect time to reflect on the very active role FHM and heat are playing in the South African social networking sphere. Apart from Man Watch, heat’s very own community of hot boys, FHM Models 2010 is just around the corner, with a 1 October launch. It promises to be the biggest social networking project we’ve ever embarked on here at UCM, with some really amazing community interaction features – Watch this space! We’re rocking on Twitter and Facebook as well - FHM hit 1500 twitter followers, with heat not too far behind at 1000! Follow us at FHM Twitter and heat Twitter respectively!


If ever you've seen an intimidating photo then this is probably it. This is the barrage that any FHM model faces when she finds herself in front of the camera lens.
