Innholdsfortegnelse for December 2025 i FHM New Zealand

HALLOWEEN EVENT THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30 2025, THE RAWSON, SYDNEY The absolutely epic inaugural Ultra Tune 2025 FHM Woman of the Year Halloween party was held recently at the awesome Rawson bar and restaurant in Sydney NSW. With a plethora of VIP partygoers dressed appropriately, and not so appropriately, in a mix of scary, sexy and just downright hilarious costumes fit for the October 31 theme, it really was a party to end all parties. Over 600 guests including celebrities, reality TV and sports stars, actors, models, high profile influencers and content creators strutted their stuff as they sipped on champagne and the evening's signature FHM cocktails, enjoyed amazing finger food and danced the night away until the wee hours. A massive thank you to all our partners who made this…

Sweat-Proof Swagger Summer Style That Slays Summer isn’t the time for fashion rookies. When the sun starts punishing the pavement and the temperature tips past 35°C, you don’t rise to the occasion by piling on more gear—you win by choosing the right gear. The mission is simple: stay cool without looking like you gave up. Think sharp, breathable, effortless. You’re not just surviving the heat; you’re owning it. Start with your fabrics. Summer style begins at the fibre level, and if you’re still reaching for denim and synthetic blends, you’re basically asking to be roasted alive. What you need are natural, breezy warriors like linen, seersucker, and light cotton—materials that don’t cling, trap heat, or hold onto sweat. Linen, in particular, should be your new best friend. It’s got a…

The Age of Softness, and the Call to Strength We live in an age of comfort, convenience, and chronic distraction. Uber brings food to your door. Your thermostat learns your preferences. Instagram gives you validation on demand. It’s easier than ever to go soft — physically, mentally, and emotionally. But deep down, every man knows: life isn’t soft. It’s brutal. Unfair. Competitive. And when it comes for you — through a breakup, a business failure, a betrayal, or a death — you don’t need comfort. You need steel in your spine. You need a code. You need the warrior mindset. It’s not about walking around with a scowl and flexed muscles. It’s not about pretending to be untouchable. It’s about knowing who you are, standing firm in chaos, and owning…

One is never short of finding superlatives to describe the new Corvette ZR1, such is its unapologetically raw, sometimes uncouth, nature. It’s a bare-knuckle brawler that takes dead aim and leaves destruction in its wake. That’s the way it’s always been for the ‘Vette; the underdog and the American hero. Its mantra: To do the most, and often with the least. The latest version attempts to stay relevant amid its supercar contemporaries without subscribing to a mix of hybrid powertrains and heavy all-wheel drive systems. That launches it down a unique path and ensures it appeals to a very certain type of buyer. The goal was to extract the most power as possible with the revised LT7 5.5-litre turbocharged engine making 793 kW (1064 horsepower), every day and all the…

“I have a weird habit of being naked the second I walk through my front door — it’s my natural state of freedom.” Hey, Chloe, tell us about your photo shoot. We shot in a stunning beachside villa in Koh Samui, Thailand mixing high-fashion editorial with beach-goddess energy. Every look represents a different side of feminine power – confident, sensual, playful and strong. It was the perfect way to celebrate stepping into 40 feeling the best I ever have, inside and out. Give us a little more background about yourself and your life story so far. I started modelling young, but life took me on a massive journey of rebuilding myself from scratch. After hitting rock bottom five years ago – losing my home, job and sense of self –…

From Average Joe to Alpha Hero We’ve all seen the jaw-dropping before-and-afters. A Hollywood actor goes from wiry indie heartthrob to chiselled, veiny demigod in six months flat. Suddenly, he’s shirtless on every billboard, swinging hammers, dodging bullets, or climbing walls—and looking damn good doing it. You know the look. Broad shoulders. V-taper back. Shredded abs. Thick arms. That hypermasculine, comic-book physique that dominates the modern blockbuster. But here’s what they don’t show you on the red carpet: the 5 a.m. workouts. The carb cycling. The sore joints. The six-day training splits and chicken-broccoli monotony. Because training like a superhero isn’t just a few sit-ups and some extra protein shakes. It’s war. In this deep dive, we’re pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to get a movie-star…

Hey, Noni, welcome to FHM. Tell us a bit about your shoot. Thank you for having me! The shoot was down at one of my favourite spots in Miami Beach on the Gold Coast. I love the rock formations between sand and sea there, so I thought the shoot would give off “siren energy”, which was sort of the look we were going for. When do you feel sexy? I feel the sexiest after I’ve pushed myself to do something new and out of my comfort zone, especially when it comes to modelling. Every time I push myself to be that little bit extra confident or bold I feel like I’ve levelled up a little and I’m starting to realise how limitless I really am. What is your best asset?…

“At 100,000 people, the MCG’s capacity is the biggest in the country and the second-largest cricket ground in the world.” Melbourne Cricket Ground Address: Brunton Avenue, Richmond, Melbourne, Victoria Date Opened: 1853 Capacity: 100,000 Sydney and Melbourne have an infamous long-standing rivalry: come up with a topic and both will decide they’re better than the other at whatever it is. It’s an odd flex, and one the rest of the country rolls their eyes about: ‘Oh, god, they’re at it again.’ In terms of cricket grounds, it’s pretty safe to say the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) has it all over the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). Sure, the SCG came first – by just a few years, mind you – and it still has elements of yesteryear in some of the old…

So good to have you join the FHM family. Tell us a bit about yourself. Being featured in FHM feels like such a dream come true. It is something I’ve quietly hoped for over the years. I still can’t believe it’s real. I come from a small agricultural town in California’s Central Valley, where life was simple and community meant everything. I’ve really manifested the girl next door gone global vibe. Living in places like Sacramento and Los Angeles has been such an adventure; opening my eyes to so many new experiences, people, and possibilities. Modelling is still pretty new to me I only started about two years ago but it’s already taken me places I never imagined. I am so grateful for every step of this journey and for…
