Maxim Magazine February 1999 Issue 46 Melinda Messenger Cameron Diaz Nell McAndrew SKU 1495

Original UK Maxim Magazine – Issue 46, February 1999, featuring Melinda Messenger as the principal cover star.

This is a strong late-1990s issue of the British men’s lifestyle magazine, with a bold yellow cover and a full-length studio photograph of Melinda Messenger. The issue combines celebrity features, modelling photography, humour, travel, fashion, competitions, lifestyle articles and the characteristic irreverent editorial style associated with Maxim during this period.

Melinda Messenger Cover Feature

Melinda Messenger is the main focus of this issue and is prominently featured on both the front cover and inside the magazine.

The contents page lists her main feature on page 78, headed “If Only – Melinda Messenger’s on the telly”. Interior imagery shown in the photographs includes additional professionally styled modelling photography of Melinda.

She is also used extensively throughout the contents presentation, making this particularly appealing to collectors of Melinda Messenger memorabilia and late-1990s British glamour/lifestyle magazines.

Nell McAndrew

Nell McAndrew is another major name featured in the issue.

Her feature begins on page 98, and the photographed contents page shows her modelling alongside the caption connected with the feature.

The magazine also gives Nell a prominent mention directly on the front cover.

Cameron Diaz

The contents page confirms a Cameron Diaz feature on page 34, under the heading:

“Fantasy – There’s something about... Cameron Diaz”

This adds further celebrity and film interest to the issue and reflects her major popularity during the late 1990s.
