FHM Turitsa

Thanks to FHM for the honor of being a "Hot Turista", click Here! Translation... a model from a different country. This comedic title was bestowed upon me on my actual Birthday! Which gave me one more reason to celebrate and demand more presents, which I was told were stuck in customs!
Seriously, Thank you FHM.

Kaki West FHM Norway

No....Way! I'm in FHM Norway!!

I have never been to Norway. But I have been told several times I look Norwegian. Traveling to the Fjords is certainly high up on my wish list.  They look like "Sound of Music" on steroids (pic below). Until then I will bask in the Norwegian sunlight of my FHM Norway pictorial!

My Russian Side in FHM

My inner Russian has finally come to life. In my lineage I have a distant grandparent who was part Russian. Yes that means in my blood runs a cold Russian assassin ready to drink vodka, eat caviar and never laugh at a joke! I also do an amazing Russian accent & have an alter ego named “Svetlana”. So FHM Russia December 2011 issue made my caviar dreams come true. I have a 6 page spread inside FHM with Russian writing all over me...

Lights, Camera, Action FHM!

In August 2011, an inconspicuous limo drove me to the back end of Zuma Beach for my FHM dual cover shoot. Upon arriving the photographer & his assistant had their reflectors set up close to the cliff. Also by the cliff was a rock-climbing club of about 8…awkward!

I walked across the hot sand with my publicist, hair/makeup team & videographer. I was told FHM didn’t pull permits for filming so just “act casual” around beach police! I changed into 5 tiny bikinis behind a reflector & definitely flashed some innocent bystanders. I did my best Zoolander look, got splashed by freezing water, awkwardly arched, squinted into the sun & had sand in all the wrong places.

After 4 hours we wrapped, 2 FHM Covers and inside spreads later the sand in all the wrong places paid off. Watch the video for all the action.
