Esquire Magazine’s June 2013 issue has Sam Pinto on the cover with a tagline “Meet our Muse – Sam Pinto – A Woman We Love.”

The 23-year-old model and actress Sam Pinto is one of the sexiest celebrities in the Philippines. Sam Pinto is also a regular on FHM Philippines and was even voted as the sexiest woman in the world! Sam was photographed here with only a white fabric to cover her entire body. Hhhmmm...that leaves a nice thought lingering in my mind.

“What is it about a beautiful woman that inspires a man to become a creative whirlwind? In this June’s Art Issue, meet our muse, Sam Pinto,” the magazine said as it unveiled the cover on Thursday night on its Facebook page.
