Zoo Magazine 3-9 April 2009 Danni Wells Kelly Andrews Lily Allen Issue 265 SKU 1552

Original UK Zoo Magazine, Issue 265, dated 3–9 April 2009, featuring Danni Wells prominently on the front cover and throughout an extended glamour feature celebrating Britain’s Sexiest Blondes.

This is a very typical late-2000s Zoo issue, combining glamour photography with celebrity, football, motorsport, wrestling, television, gadgets, humour and contemporary entertainment coverage.

Danni Wells / Britain’s Sexiest Blondes Feature

The main cover story is introduced by Danni Wells, with a substantial multi-page Britain’s Sexiest Blondes feature inside.

Danni is shown across large-format professionally photographed pages, including a full double-page introductory layout. The feature is one of the principal attractions of the issue and is heavily promoted on the front cover.

Other models visibly promoted as part of the blonde-themed feature include:

• Madison
• Kim
• Zoe
• Other glamour models included within the feature

The photography is presented in the bold, glossy editorial style associated with Zoo during this period.

Kelly Andrews

The contents pages also promote Kelly Andrews, described as a new Zoo glamour signing at the time.

Her appearance forms part of the issue’s regular glamour coverage and makes this issue additionally collectible for readers following Zoo’s recurring models and feature series.

Lily Allen Archive Feature

The front cover prominently advertises a Lily Allen “Rude Archive Special”, and she is also listed within the contents as one of the issue’s major celebrity features.

Other Magazine Content

The photographs show a surprisingly broad mixture of period material beyond the main glamour features, including:

• Ricky Gervais
• Cristiano Ronaldo
• Lewis Hamilton
• Top Gear behind-the-scenes material
• WWE retrospective celebrating 25 years
• Steve Claridge
• Liam Gallagher
• Football and Premier League coverage

There is also a sizeable WWE feature, with wrestling imagery visible in the contents pages.

Football & Motorsport

Sports content is especially strong in this issue. Visible features include Cristiano Ronaldo, football statistics and betting material, England-related coverage and Lewis Hamilton discussing his Formula One training regime.

This gives the issue additional interest to collectors of late-2000s football, motorsport and popular culture magazines.
