NOVEMBER 2011 TOP 3 COVERS OF THE MONTH

November is the 11th month of the year, and most of us are already planning our Christmas decors at home and gift list as soon as the Halloween festivities have ended. As we move into the colder, biting days ahead, let's see how the top 3 magazine covers in the country have rendered their own version of cool.

1st Honor: NORA AUNOR FOR PREVIEW
We have never seen Ate Guy looking this soft, feminine and fashionable in the longest time. After years of staying in the US, the one and only Superstar is back, as reinvented by Preview Magazine on its latest cover wearing a Joel Escober creation. This is La Aunor's second explosive magazine cover, a follow-up on her much-talked about appearance on YES! Magazine holding a cigarette.

On a side note, Preview also releases a bonus with handsome actor Gerald Anderson for Preview Men:

2nd Honor: IZA CALZADO FOR ESQUIRE
This is the only second issue of the Philippine version of the said magazine, and yet it has created a sizzling sensation with Kapuso actress Iza Calazado baring it all - almost. According to Esquire Philippines, Iza's cover is a tribute to the classic Esquire USA version of Angelina Jolie in July 2007. I bet, happy are the men to see this cover!

3rd Honor: ED WESTWICK FOR GARAGE
Garage seems to know that Hollywood actor Ed Westwick is the coolest guy to have on its latest cover. The dashing star of Gossip Girl and Penshoppe endorser appears on the magazine's art and design issue with amazing cool cover graphics that goes well with Ed's cool dude looks.
