Janine Tugonon reacts to her NU Muses photographs

Filipina model and Miss Universe 2012 1st runner-up Janine Tugonon saw her photographs for the NU Muses Calendar for the first time last Sunday at the calendar reveal event in W Hotel South Beach, Miami.

Moments before entering the gallery, the beauty queen said, “My heart is beating really fast. I don't know why... I'm nervous, you guys!”

Janine is among the 12 women who posed for the calendar, which aims to revisit the classic art of nude and "capture the elegance and romance of the female form, worthy of gracing fine art galleries and walls,” according to Magazine's Steve Shaw.

The special calendar is shot by David Bellemere.
