Fall may be cooling things down, but our competitions and models are keeping the heat on. This week’s Friday Feature lineup came ready to steal the spotlight—and maybe even snag one of this year’s Maxim Cover Girl crowns. Think you’ve got what it takes to compete alongside them? There’s still time to jump into our Natural Beauty and Euro Summer competitions. Your next stop could be Paris or Milan—two of the sexiest fashion capitals on earth.
