Yassi Benitez - FHM Online Babe January 2014

Yassi Benitez looked so fly in her kicks—a Jordan 11 Gamma Blue—when she arrived for her FHM Online Babe shoot that we elected to ditch all of the sexy stilettos our stylist had prepared in favor of her sneakers.

This girl, we told ourselves, will look better in rubbers. Yassi, a car-show veteran and an FHM 100 Sexiest Victory Party regular, couldn’t agree more. “I’m not really a big [Air] Jordan fan but I really love wearing ‘em. It’s really comfortable and way, way cool,” she tells us. “Besides, I feel a lot sexier when I’m in one!”

And like the many hunches we’ve had the past year—putting Ms. Alice on our cover, favoring underboobs and sideboobs tonakabuyangyang boobs, filling your 2013 with a monthly dose of Abby and Jahziel—our manyak instincts again proved to be correct. Paired with relaxed tops (read: torn- or cut-apart shirts) and skimpy undies, Yassi and her Jordan 11 smoldered in front of our camera.

We can go all day long harping on about how her shoot produced the right combination of curves, a pretty face, legs, and a wonderful pair of… shoes. But we won’t—because we know what you want, and you know that we got it. However, it’s rude to just go drool over a lady without knowing her first, so scroll down for more on sneaker-loving Yassi!

Happy New Year, Yassi! How are you?   
Happy New Year as well! I'm all good! I’m really looking forward to 2014!

Did you have a good 2013? 
Yes, I did actually. I got a lot of new projects like billboards, a couple of endorsements, and I got a part in a movie, too! I’ve also done a couple of international projects/shoots, so I can say that I had a really blessed 2013.

Do you have any New Year's Resolutions?
This year I will be willing to accept more projects! Ha ha! But seriously, if meron lang. Ang resolution ko talaga is to stay fit. Visiting the gym is what really keeps me busy nowadays. I really have to discipline myself, especially when it comes to workouts, because I need to be always fit and healthy. Part of the job yun eh!

So we should prepare for a sexier Yassi this year?
Of course! But honestly, hindi talaga ako naniniwala sa resolutions...because I might not be able to commit myself into fulfilling them, ha ha ha! I just do want I have to do and make sure that I’ll be always happy in every little thing that will happen. That’s it! Ha ha!

How did you spend your New Year's Eve? Nagpaputok ka ba?  
Ako, nagpaputok? Takot ako sa paputok eh, medyo may trauma ako riyan. Don’t ask why! Ha ha ha! I just spent my New Year with my family. We had a typical Media Noche, a simple salo-salo, to welcome the New Year. I really believe that you must start the year spending it with your loved ones.

How do you see yourself this year? Any big plans brewing for 2014? 
Target ko talaga is to become busier pathan 2013. But really, I would like to have a shoot as a bride pero walang groom. Just me being a bride! Ha ha ha! Or sana I can do a commercial that will feature me as the lead model!

We can't help but notice your kicks, are you a big Air Jordan fan? A sneaker-chick, maybe? 
I’m not really a big [Air] Jordan fan but I really love wearing 'em. It’s comfortable and way, way cool! I also feel sexier when I wear one! 

How many pairs do you own?
I only have three pairs, but I’m still thinking of what to buy next.

If you were to choose between a sexy stiletto and a pair of sick sneakers, which one would you wear?  
A pair of sick sneakers! They give me more comfort and I really feel sexier when I’m wearing one! For me, hot kasi yung chicks in kicks compared sa girl na naka-high heels pero hirap na hirap na maglakad.

Are you also a basketball fan?
I’m not a basketball fan really, I'm more into MMA! In fact, may MMA fighter akong crush na crush! Si Carlos Condit.

Yeah, we know him. He lost to GSP, right? Ha! You have an interesting email add, princess_darkspell. Why did you choose that handle? 
I use princess_darkspell because a lot of guys have fallen under my spell! Joke! Ha ha ha! And most of the time when I say something, or “cast a spell,” it comes true! Ha ha ha!

And what other spells have you learned so far, aside from hypnotizing guys with your sexy bod?    
Hypnotizing guys with my tantalizing eyes! Ha ha ha! Yung mata ko kasi, nakikipag-usap!

What do you do when you’re not being a sexy seductress?
I’m eating chocolates! Or nambabasag ng mga haters ko! Ha ha ha!

Scary! Are you also that mataray as a girlfriend?
The opposite, really. I’m very, very sweet as a girlfriend! Gusto ko ako yung nag-aalaga, pero minsan siyempre masarap din na ako yung inaalagaan, yung ginagawa akong prinsesa. Gusto ko yung bina-baby lang ako. Cuddle lang ng cuddle.

What kind of guys are worthy of your cuddles?
Turn-on ko, of course, kapag gentlemanyung guy. I like it a guy who will treat me special and will always be gentle with me.Sobrang cute and astig ng mga guys na kayang magdala ng bag ng girlfriend nilabecause ayaw nila nabibigatan yung girl,lalo na sa tulad ko na palaging maraming laman yun bag. I get turned-off naman sa mga taong mayayabang, yung akala mo sa kanila umiikot yung mundo. I also hate lazy guys and those na puro pa-asa lang.

Pardon our frankness, but how are you in bed?   
If super bango ng guy, aamoy-amuyin ko kahit yun kili-kili niya! Ha ha ha! But if you really want to know how I am in bed, umm, better ask my guy about it!

That's going to be hard. Allow us to rephrase that: When you’re really, really in the mood, what happens next? 
Ang hirap naman sagutin! Ha ha ha! But I think nase-set yung mood ko when he starts saying that I’m so sexy, when he admires my figure, and he keeps on saying that he really, really loves me a lot. Andkapag na-set yung mood ko, it’s more passionate na. Yung tipong mas napi-feel mo na you and your partner turn into one.
