PETALING JAYA - There has never been a Malaysian nude cover girl. Christy Yow came as close to posing in the nude as she dared.

The actress featured as the cover girl for a movie magazine in Singapore, appearing on the cover of the first issue of F*** (Film, Fame & Frank) that hit the streets last week.

"The cover look amazing! I certainly look amazing - awesome," said Yow, who played the legendary striptease Rose Chan in her new movie Mei Gui Xiang (The charming Rose) and acted in several Singapore Chinese dramas.

Covered in key places

"I am not totally naked at the shoot - I am well 'taped', she said in her blog. Professionally, I think the pictures were done in good taste."

Well-known for her 36C breasts, the 23-year-old Ipoh lass had wanted to look sexy and a little "mysterious" in the photographs.

"Someone just asked if I always have to look so sexy in all my photos and will I not be afraid to be typecast? I guess not! I wanna do things that I still can manage now," she said.

Yow told Lianhe Wanbao that she trusted the crew for their professionalism.

Only the trusted

She said only the photographer, hair stylist, make-up artist and her manager were in the studio during the photo shooting session.

"Although all of them are men, they are those whom I trust very much and work closely with," she said.
