What is your favorite body part?
We take care of our bodies for various reasons. Some of us are careful with our bodies because we want to look our best, others care for their bodies because it makes them feel good. But whatever the reason, I know that we all admire people who have nice and well-maintained bodies. I asked some famous personalities to share with us what they love most about their bodies. Here’s what I got.
RYAN ATILANO, model: The first thing people notice is my eyes. I can express so much emotion without saying anything, just through my eyes.
JAY-R, R&B singer: My favorite body part would have to be my Adam’s Apple. Let’s face it, it’s my bread and butter. I wouldn’t have my job without it.
DOUG KRAMER, athlete/Bench Body model: My legs. They’re my strongest asset as a basketball player. Having well-developed legs is always a plus for running, jumping and moving about the hardcourt.
MARCO ALCARAZ, athlete/model: It would have to be my abs, because I’ve put a lot of effort into getting them really defined. My abs are a product of discipline and hard work. A guy can’t help but feel more confident knowing that he has well-defined abs.
NANCY JANE, singer/actress/Bench Body model: My eyes, because they’re the windows to my soul. I can convey my emotions and feelings through them. Likewise, I can read other people better just by looking at their eyes.
BRENT JAVIER, actor/model: I like my calves because they’re big and muscular. I don’t think I’ll ever be called chicken-legged!
RAPHAEL KIEFER, model: The part of myself that I like most is my ability to control my emotions, more importantly the reactions that they produce. Even in adversity and in uncomfortable situations I am able to keep my “default” face (as my friends call it). I like this in me because holding a reaction for just a second longer may defuse a tense situation and often opens up the opportunity for an extra angle or idea on tackling a situation, whether business or personal.
ARIEL ATENDIDO, executive director, Blushing Bride/Exuberance Ltd. Co.: I love my eyes because I believe that words cannot describe what my eyes can bring to life.
PETER NORRDELL, model: I guess my legs because they’re long, firm and muscular. They’re directly proportional to my upper body and give me the ideal height.
BIANCA VALERIO, PMAP model, TV host, stylist and makeup artist: We all have body issues, but it would have to be my bum. I take pride in being a curvy woman. I’m no typical skinny model — lots of designers will vouch for that. But at the end of the day, I’d much rather be bootylicious than a waif.
