DECEMBER 2011 TOP COVERS OF THE MONTH

The most wonderful time of the year is almost here! Nothing can be more festive, more colorful, more opulent than December, as we await for the actual Christmas Day. With Christmas Trees already decked with fancy trimmings, the parol-s hanging from the window for luminescence, Santa Claus costumes everywhere, Yuletide fever is defnitely on a roll! On a similar note, different local magazines are also spreading glad tidings and putting up their versions of holiday treats. Here are my top three covers for the month of December that demonstrate the creative Yuletide spirit:

1st Honor: GEORGINA WILSON for ROGUE MAGAZINE
Oh my, I am lost for words! Georgina Wilson's cover for Rogue is a true holiday bomb! Clad in all red while exposing her twin peaks, this sexy, stunning cover must be on its way to being one of the most intriguing, most iconic, and probably the best ever of what Georgina can show and give to the whole world. This is Rogue's 50th edition, and having a cover of this magnitude holds true to the meaning of this season's merriest celebration.

2nd Honor: Fashion & Music Celebrities for METRO MAGAZINE
Fashion and music combine in Metro Magazine's all-star December issue. It's fashion fantasy galore with the industry's brightest models and the country's most sought-after musicians glamming it all out in Metro's annual Holiday Ball. It's a special gatefold cover that everybody must check out!

3rd Honor: ANGEL LOCSIN for MEG MAGAZINE
Pretty actress Angel Locsin has been amissed, and glad that she takes flight in Meg Magazine's holiday issue. Wearing this season's brightest colors, Angel respreads her wings as she is back on the front cover as one of the industry's agents of change.
