FHM shifts to Bond mode

Last Nov. 20, FHM Philippines, 20th Century Fox and Warner Brothers presented with GBX - Lifestyle Extreme in cooperation with Pepsi Blue Chilled Cola the gala premiere of the 25th James Bond adventure, Die Another Day. The film celebrates the 40th anniversary of James Bond, showcasing more amazing action, high-tech gadgets, and a red-hot new Bond girl, Halle Berry. Guests who arrived at the Robinsons Movieworld Cinema were treated to a mixed medium art exhibit featuring portraits of FHM 2003 Calendar babe Maui Taylor courtesy of the Saturday Group for the benefit of the Manila Jaycees. Free-flowing cocktails and Finlandia "shaken-not-stirred" martinis served by lovely Bond girls added to the 007 atmosphere.
