MALE BOLDIE TO MARKET OWN DOLLS

Manila, Dec. 31, 1997 - Sexy female stars posing nude for commercial calendars is nothing new. Sexy male stars posing for calendars of commercial products is kind of novel. A male star peddling calendars that picture him in different erotic poses is definitely out of the ordinary.

According to the Evening Tempo's Earl Blue, bold actor Juan Carlos Castro has a profitable sideline: selling calendars that feature him in very sexy poses. They sell well, although a few complain that the price is too high considering the quality of the paper used.

Inspired by the profitability of his calendars, JC is now thinking of a new gimmick for next year: sexy dolls that look like him.

It could be a first in local showbiz. But people are wondering how bold a bold star's doll could really get. And who would buy them? And for what?
