So what are you waiting for? Go grab your copies now!  As for me, I’m off to Cash & Carry Mall to buy mine.

I was so busy in April and May that I forgot to buy my copy of Garage Magazine’s April/May 2009 issue.  And what do I find out? Hot male model Hideo Muraoka is on the cover of that issue!  I have always been a big fan of Garage (loved the Akihiro Sato and Gerald Anderson-Enchong Dee issues!) I scoured the whole of the metro and was quite unsuccessful in my search (so please, if you know where copies are available, please do let me know!).

So anyway, Garage Magazine’s June/July 2009 issue is already out with speed racer Matteo Guidicelli on the cover (PLUS!  My new ultimate cursh Leonardo Corredor also appears in a spread there!). The issue is their back-to-school guide special.  The issue also celebrates teen spirit as they feature star athletes from different sporting disciplines and universities in Metro Manila.

Matteo Guidicelli also invites you:

Over at Garage Magazine’s Twitter account, they have shared with us some behind-the-scenes photos and info about this month’s issue. Now I’m wondering who these guys are:

So grab your copies now before it’s too late!

I love men’s magazines. No, not the kind that has photos of men in various states of undress. I’m talking about fashion magazines for men like Metro Him and Garage.

Garage, on the other hand, is still alive and kicking! And I love it! Garage is presented well and it makes fashion for men easier to understand and to relate with. It is not plastic and while it gives us the latest trends from other parts of the world, it also makes appreciating fashion easier: fashion need not be expensive. What I love about Garage is that it shows us all the expensive and all the affordable brands all on the same page.

Their latest issue features hot young talents Gerald Anderson and Enchong Dee in a double cover special (like the Akihiro Sato one, which I so loved I wanted to buy both covers). So I’m out to get you Gerald! And probably Enchong too! This issue also features my long-time crush John James Uy!

The only issue I don’t have is their premier issue with Jake Cuenca on the cover. I will have to wish myself some luck while I look for a copy of this issue (back issues can be found here).

So if you’re looking for fashion must-haves and must-buys and anything related to men’s fashion, Garage is the best way to go! Buy na!

P.S. Metro Him (published by ABS-CBN Publishing), unfortunately, has already been discontinued (or in the words of Jerome Gomez:”Metro hiM died last week.“). I have purchases all but one (or two) issues of the magazine and have seen it transform – in shape, size, and content. The last issue I bought was their Style Guide special edition issue.
