A very typical early-2000s UK men’s lifestyle magazine, combining glamour photography, celebrity interviews, football, music, crime/reportage, fashion, films, games, cars and general entertainment.

Kate Lawler Cover Feature

Kate Lawler is the dominant cover personality, photographed in lingerie across the full front cover.

The contents identify her main feature from approximately page 62, describing her as the issue’s cover star. An additional full-length image of Lawler appears within the opening contents/editorial section.

For collectors of Kate Lawler, Big Brother-era personalities, British reality television memorabilia or early-2000s lads’ magazines, this is a particularly relevant issue.

Original Double-Sided Poster

Importantly, this copy does include the original fold-out poster advertised on the front cover.

One side, clearly shown in the supplied photographs, features Kate Lawler in a large full-length glamour photograph. She is posed standing in black lingerie against a pale neutral background. The image spans multiple folded sections and opens out considerably larger than a standard magazine page.

The cover states that this was originally a double-sided poster of Kate and a tramp. The Kate Lawler side is clearly visible and confirmed in the photographs.

The poster has its original factory fold lines from being stored inside the magazine. It appears to remain attached/present and displays well, although buyers should inspect the images for the exact condition of the folds and edges.
