Malaysian model Amber Chia said she is proud to appear in the inaugural edition of Play boy in Indonesia, even though her mother thinks she looked sexier in photos featured by other magazines, a local newspaper reported.
The Star daily said Chia was slightly bemused at the controversy and protests following the release in early April of a toned-down edition of Play boy. Although it contained no nude pictures, the protesters said the publication was a form of moral terrorsm.
"I didn't think it would generate that much interest. In fact, I am so proud to appear in the first issue as the eight pages of photos were tasteful, stylish and sensuous, but not pornog raphic," Chia was quoted as saying.
Chia, the current Guess International ambassador, was not the cover girl but was featured in the "Celebrity" pages, in which she wore six outfits including low cut jeans and a black bra.
"When I showed my parents the proposed pictures, my mum laughed and said I had looked sexier in other magazines while my dad merely asked why they needed so many photos," Chia said.
"My boyfriend said if I believed this is good for my career, then go ahead," she said.
She said Play boy got in touch with her three months ago when she was in Jakarta to promote a fitness center. Initially, she turned down the offer.
"I assumed it would be a typical Play boy issue where I had to bare my bre asts or expose my private parts," Chia said.
But after seeing the sample pictures, "I was surprised ... I secretly laughed as I had posed in sexier clothes before," she said.
