FHM Magazine December 2013 Diana Vickers Lauren X Factor #288 SKU 1496

Original FHM Magazine – December 2013, Issue #288, with Diana Vickers as the main cover feature.

This is a particularly model-focused issue, with Diana Vickers dominating the front cover in a full-length studio photograph against FHM’s distinctive orange-and-white December design. The cover promotes her as “The X Factor’s Diana Vickers”, making this a strong collectible for fans of Diana, X Factor memorabilia and later-era FHM issues.

Inside, the contents confirm a substantial Diana Vickers cover feature beginning on page 76, alongside several additional female-model and glamour features.

Diana Vickers Cover Feature

Diana is the clear headline attraction of this issue. The cover uses a bright winter-themed orange layout and shows her posing with decorating equipment, tying into the magazine’s seasonal “Winter Rules” theme. Her name is given large prominence across the lower-right portion of the cover.

The contents page describes the feature as:

“Cover Star – Diana Vickers”

and references her former X Factor background. This makes the magazine especially relevant for collectors of Diana Vickers appearances, British pop culture, reality-TV memorabilia and FHM cover issues.

FHM Girlfriend – Lauren

Another significant model feature is Lauren, appearing in the magazine’s recurring FHM Girlfriend section around page 134.

The photographed spread shows a full multi-page feature with:

• Large full-page and near-full-page photography
• Fashion / lingerie-style modelling
• Bright domestic interior setting
• Several different poses and compositions
• Accompanying profile/interview text

The visible feature identifies her clearly as “FHM Girlfriend Lauren.”

• Danielle – World Wife
• Additional glamour and lifestyle photography
• Regular FHM model-oriented editorial content

Condition

Pre-owned magazine showing noticeable but generally moderate age/storage wear.

From the supplied photographs:

• Front cover remains bright and highly presentable
• Colours remain strong, particularly the orange and white cover design
• Visible rubbing and wear along the spine edge
• Some small scuffs and marks around the lower-left portion of the front cover
• Minor corner wear, including a little rounding / bending
• Light surface marking and handling wear
• Top and outer edges show some mild waviness / curvature
• Bottom edge has light wear and a few small pressure marks
• Internal pages shown appear clean, bright and firmly attached
• Diana Vickers editorial material and Lauren feature pages appear well preserved
• No obvious major tears, writing or large missing sections visible in the photographs

Overall this is a good used copy rather than a mint example, with the expected handling and shelf wear of an FHM issue from 2013. The important model pages shown remain attractive and highly displayable.
