FHM High Street Honeys 2003 Magazine 100 Hottest Girls Next Door SKU 1520

Original FHM High Street Honeys 2003 special publication featuring “The UK’s 100 Hottest Girls Next Door”, presented as a nationwide reader-voted selection of models discovered through FHM’s High Street Honeys competition.

Date: 2003. The publication itself does not show a precise day/month publication date in the supplied photographs, so I have not invented one. Internal editorial information confirms the competition voting was scheduled to close on 18 September 2003.

This is a substantial standalone FHM special rather than a standard monthly FHM cover issue, with a distinctive black cover patterned with repeated female silhouettes and a large metallic-style FHM High Street Honeys 2003 panel.

HIGH STREET HONEYS 2003 FEATURE

The opening editorial explains the concept behind the publication: FHM searched across the UK for undiscovered women and compiled 100 entrants into the 2003 High Street Honeys competition.

Readers were invited to vote for their favourite entrant, with the overall winner due to receive:

• a substantial cash prize
• an FHM cover appearance
• promotional appearances
• the High Street Honeys title

The photographed pages show the publication arranged as a large numbered showcase, with individual profiles and photographs for the entrants.

One photographed example is:

No. 56 – Ailsa Smith, age 22, Liverpool

The page gives her location and nomination details alongside her individual feature photograph.

Another photographed spread shows Carrie Scott, age 23, together with additional contestants presented in the same numbered competition format.

100-CONTESTANT DIRECTORY

A particularly useful collector feature is the photographed “Hunt The Hottie” page, which displays a large visual directory of the entrants.

This page contains numerous small numbered portraits with first names, essentially acting as an index to the women appearing throughout the publication. It reinforces that this is a dedicated 100-model competition special, rather than simply a short feature inside an ordinary FHM issue.

The format makes it an interesting piece of early-2000s British men's-magazine history, particularly for collectors of:

• FHM
• High Street Honeys
• early-2000s men's magazines
• glamour-model competitions
• UK magazine specials and supplements
• reader-voted magazine features
