Nuts Magazine 7-13 October 2005 Kelly Brook Lucy Pinder Michelle Marsh SKU 1468

Original Nuts Magazine, dated 7-13 October 2005, featuring a major 2006 Calendar Special with Kelly Brook, Lucy Pinder, Michelle Marsh and additional glamour/model photography throughout the issue.

This copy is especially strong for collectors of mid-2000s British glamour magazines because the cover and interior heavily promote the forthcoming 2006 celebrity/model calendars, with multiple full-page and feature photographs rather than just brief mentions.

Cover & Main Models

The front cover is dominated by Kelly Brook, photographed in a tropical-style calendar image with white flowers, alongside smaller preview photographs of other models.

Clearly identified on the cover are:

• Kelly Brook
• Lucy Pinder
• Michelle Marsh

The cover promotes “Sexiest New Calendar Photos” and an extensive look at new calendar imagery for 2006.

Kelly Brook – Calendar Special

Kelly Brook receives one of the most prominent interior sections photographed.

The magazine contains a large “Calendar Bonanza 2006” feature with a substantial full-page photograph of Kelly posed on a beach. The accompanying text discusses her official 2006 calendar and presents the feature as another major year of Kelly calendar imagery.

For a Kelly Brook collector this is a particularly attractive issue because she is:

• the principal cover model
• prominently named on the contents pages
• given a large dedicated calendar photograph inside
• featured as part of the magazine's wider 2006 calendar retrospective/preview

Lucy Pinder

Lucy Pinder is also specifically featured in the calendar section.

One photographed page includes a dedicated Lucy Pinder panel discussing her 2006 wall calendar, with a reproduction of the calendar cover and text referring to photographs taken in Barbados.

This gives the issue a definite Lucy Pinder collectable connection beyond simply appearing in a group photograph.

Michelle Marsh

Michelle Marsh appears prominently in the calendar material and is identified on the front cover.

She is part of the model-focused content surrounding the new 2006 calendars, making this issue relevant to collectors of her early magazine appearances as well.

Additional Model / Glamour Content

The photographed contents also show a feature headed:

“Babes on walls: Kelly Brook, Lucy & Michelle and the Hollyoaks girls”

The magazine therefore contains a substantial collection of model and calendar photography rather than a single cover shoot.

Another photographed feature shows Sophie and Jo Hicks in a beach-themed article, while the contents also include the magazine's regular Girls Next Door, Bedroom Babes and other reader/model sections.

Magazine Contents

Alongside the model and calendar material, the photographed contents show the usual broad mix of Nuts-era features, including:

• 2006 calendar previews
• Kelly Brook calendar feature
• Lucy Pinder calendar material
• Michelle Marsh imagery
• Hollyoaks-related model content
• Sophie and Jo Hicks beach feature
• Girls Next Door
• Bedroom Babes
• fashion/model photography
• entertainment and television
• cars and gadgets
• Xbox 360 coverage
• football and sport
• Steven Gerrard
• Ledley King
• Fernando Alonso
• Michael Schumacher
• Robbie Savage
• comedy and celebrity features
• The League of Gentlemen
• competitions, reviews, letters and TV listings

The issue is a very typical piece of 2005 British lads-magazine culture, with a particularly heavy emphasis on the glamour calendar market that was hugely popular at the time.
