FRONT Magazine – September 2006 – Issue 100 – 100th Issue Special

Main Cover Model: Anna Taverner

Original UK edition of FRONT Magazine, September 2006, Issue 100 – the magazine's special centenary edition celebrating its 100th issue.

This milestone edition features glamour model Anna Taverner on the front cover and in an extensive interior photoshoot, alongside additional model photography, celebrity features, football coverage, fashion, music and entertainment.

A particularly interesting issue for collectors of British men's magazines, as it celebrates FRONT's publishing history with a distinctive birthday-party theme and retrospective features.

Main Cover Model – Anna Taverner

Anna Taverner is the central attraction of this special edition.

The front cover features a full-length photograph of Anna with long, wavy blonde hair, dramatic eye makeup and bright red high-heeled shoes.

She wears a black-and-white maid-inspired costume and holds a small birthday cake decorated with candles.

The photograph is set inside a deliberately chaotic birthday-party scene, complete with scattered confetti, cakes, decorations and a vintage-style furnished interior.

The large FRONT masthead dominates the top of the cover, while an oversized gold and orange number 100 celebrates the publication's milestone.

The front-cover headline introduces Anna as the star of the magazine's centenary celebrations.

The contents page confirms a dedicated Anna Taverner cover feature beginning on page 91.

A large photograph near the beginning of the magazine shows Anna wearing a bright coral-orange bikini with dark decorative embellishments.

She is photographed sitting on a wooden chair in a party-themed interior, surrounded by decorations, confetti and a champagne-style celebration setting.

The image also incorporates a mock letter from Buckingham Palace, adding to the humorous birthday theme.

The photographs use strong colour contrasts, warm lighting and the highly stylised glamour photography associated with FRONT during the mid-2000s.

The issue's distinctive cover and interior photography make it particularly appealing to collectors of Anna Taverner magazine appearances.

Birthday-Themed Glamour Editorial

Pages 104–107 – Special Centenary Photography

One of the most visually distinctive features photographed inside this issue is a birthday-party-themed glamour editorial.

The contents page advertises the feature on page 104, and the supplied photographs show several pages of the editorial.

The feature includes two female models, one blonde and one brunette, photographed together in a decorated bedroom-style setting.

The blonde model has long, light-coloured hair and wears purple ribbon-inspired styling, while the brunette model has dark hair and wears pale yellow lingerie with pink ribbon details.

The photographs incorporate purple balloons, ribbon decorations, bedding and birthday-party accessories.

Several pages use full-page photography with relatively little text, giving the feature a strong visual emphasis.

The editorial is presented with playful birthday-themed captions and elaborate styling.

This is one of the more substantial glamour photography features visible in the supplied images and adds to the special character of Issue 100.
