K hot mama

She didn’t believe FHM would get her to pose on its inside pages. And when K Brosas learned she was doing a pictorial for the men’s magazine, she was dumbfounded. She was at a loss with words. During the pictorial, “my body was trembling, but my spirit was willing. Pangarap ko ito,” she enthused.

A very sexy K is seen on the July issue of FHM magazine. She is proud of this. And she has not done this before. Sometime ago, she called herself manang. In her live shows, she maybe risqué when doing her comic spiels, but K is a typical schoolmarm on the inside. Why pose for FHM? “It’s a personal thing. I am a comedienne and I refuse to be boxed. This is outside my comfort zone and the thought of my posing for FHM has always been seductive,” K explained.

Some people, during her teenage years, have encouraged her to join beauty contests. After all, she has the height and the stance. Kris Aquino in fact, calls her statuesque. “I did once, pero ayoko na.” And to her the FHM story is like winning a beauty title.

“During the pictorial, I told everyone on the set not to laugh at me because it was my first time to pose for a men’s magazine. It was my first time to pose sexy. I don’t even wear a two-piece bikini on the beach. With FHM, I want people to know na hindi lang ako marunong magpatawa pero kaya ko ring magpa-sexy,” she said.

She extensively prepared for her FHM pictorial. “I went on a diet because I gained weight during my short stay in the US.”

What did her 11-year-old daughter Crystal say, when she saw her photos in FHM? “Sabi niya ‘You’re a hot mama!’ Crystal is very mature for her age!”

July is a great month for K. Aside from FHM, she has two upcoming series on ABS-CBN and a birthday concert. “God is good! I have no reason to complain because my cup runneth over,” she said.

The two new ABS-CBN shows come after her remarkable performance on the top-rating series My Girl. These are the primetime teleserye Lovers in Paris starring Piolo Pascual and KC Concepcion and the afternoon light drama Pat is Tin topbilled by Valerie Concepcion.

On July 15, K will turn 34. “I don’t lie about my age. I am happy to have reached this age.” And what are her birthday wishes? “I have big dreams as an artist. Hindi naman masama ang mangarap, di ba? I want to stage a concert at the Araneta Coliseum, to be on the cover of FHM, to have my own show, magkaroon ng sariling pelikula. Gusto kong sumunod sa yapak ni Ms. Ai-Ai delas Alas because she is my idol!”

A birthday concert is also scheduled titled, Ohhh K! at Zirkoh Greenhills on July 18, 9 p.m. Katrina Halili and Lloyd Zaragoza join her onstage as special guests.

“I prepared for this concert kaya lahat ng production numbers ay bago. I want to show audiences that I am evolving as an artist. The concert will have around 15 to 17 production numbers. May tinatawag akong baklang-baklang medley na gusto kong kantahin during my concert. Ito yong Ako Lang Siguro Ang Mahal and Kung Alam Mo Lang. Tuwing kinakanta ko kasi ang mga ito ay nakaka-relate ang mga gays.”

Looking back in her almost two decades in the business, K said, “Ang dami ko talagang dapat ipagpasalamat sa Diyos. Hindi Niya ako pinababayaan dahil lagi akong may projects. I would always pray noong nagsisimula pa lang ako bilang sing-along master na sana dumating ang araw na makilala rin ako bilang isang mahusay na entertainer. I want to make my birthday more memorable with this concert at Zirkoh.”

Beautiful and radiant at 5’8”, K admitted she is dating someone. “It has been four years that I was not in a relationship. I am seeing someone pero nandoon pa lang kami sa getting-to-know-you stage. He’s a businessman. Siya ay guwapo, mayaman, sweet at tanggap ako ng kanyang pamilya. I hope he’s the one.”

The concert’s presentors are La Carmela de Boracay, Café La Carmela and Calayan Surgicentre. Major sponsor is Live Artists Production. Tickets at P500 on a first come, first serve basis are available at Zirkoh Greenhills.
