FHM Magazine April 2002 Shakira Christina Milian Susie Amy Angelica Bridges 1531

Original FHM Magazine – Issue 148, April 2002, featuring Shakira as the main cover star.

This is a strong early-2000s FHM issue with a substantial mix of celebrity photography, glamour features, television personalities, entertainment, humour, sport, motorcycles, fashion and the magazine’s regular lifestyle sections.

The cover is dominated by a large Shakira feature, promoted as one of her major early UK magazine appearances, while the contents shown in the photographs confirm several other notable female celebrity features.

FEATURED MODELS / CELEBRITIES

Names clearly shown in the photographed contents include:

• Shakira – major feature beginning around page 112
• Christina Milian – feature on page 145
• Susie Amy – Footballers’ Wives feature on page 160
• Angelica Bridges – feature on page 184

The photographed contents page describes Shakira as the Latin pop star and promotes an extensive feature with photography and interview material.

SHAKIRA FEATURE

Shakira receives the principal cover treatment, photographed against the distinctive gold/yellow background.

The cover promotes her as “Colombia’s second finest export”, and the contents confirm a dedicated multi-page feature inside. This dates from the early international breakthrough period of her career and makes this issue particularly collectible for Shakira fans.
