Zoo Magazine 9-15 October 2015 Casey Batchelor Lindsey Pelas Rita Ora Charlotte McKinney SKU 1481

Original Zoo Magazine from 9-15 October 2015, centred around a large “2015’s Sexiest Selfies” feature presented by Casey Batchelor.

The front cover is highly model-focused, with Casey Batchelor occupying the main central image holding a smartphone, surrounded by additional celebrity/model selfie photographs. Clearly named on the cover are:

• Casey Batchelor
• Lindsey Pelas
• Rita Ora
• Amber Rose
• Miley Cyrus
• Kylie Jenner
• Charlotte McKinney

The main cover headline reads “Casey Batchelor Presents… 2015’s Sexiest Selfies”, and the supplied interior photographs confirm that Casey has a dedicated feature beginning on page 34.

The photographed opening spread is headed “Casey Batchelor Presents… 2015’s Sexiest Selfies – Exclusive New Shoot” and shows Casey as the central presenter/model for the feature. The contents page confirms this as one of the magazine’s main Girls features.

Charlotte McKinney receives particularly prominent secondary billing on the front cover, with a large beach/swimwear photograph and her name in bold lettering. The contents page also specifically lists her in the upfront section.

Other recognisable women named directly on the cover include Lindsey Pelas, Rita Ora, Amber Rose, Miley Cyrus and Kylie Jenner, all connected with the selfie theme.

Beyond the model content, the issue contains a varied mix of Zoo’s later-era humour, entertainment, sport, motors and current-affairs material. The photographed contents identify features including:

• Charlotte McKinney
• Assassin’s Creed Syndicate
• 20 Tim Vine gags
• WTF! Piggybacking Porsches
• Zoo girls’ brilliant baking tips
• Tesla Model S P90D
• 40 Funniest Blokes of 2015
• Feature on James “Whitey” Bulger
• Ray Parlour
• Jamie Vardy
• Mark Webber
• Nico Rosberg
• WBO lightweight champion Terry Flanagan
• Super League Grand Final material
• Reviews covering films, games and music
• TV Essentials
• Quiz & Fanzone

The issue is therefore a particularly strong example for collectors interested in Zoo’s model/celebrity photography from its final publishing era, especially due to the combination of Casey Batchelor, Lindsey Pelas, Charlotte McKinney and several major celebrity names on one cover.

Condition

Condition has been assessed from all four supplied photographs, including the front cover, contents page, Casey Batchelor feature and exterior/rear view.

This is a used copy showing noticeable general handling and storage wear, particularly around the spine and lower edges.

The front cover remains bright, colourful and visually strong, with Casey Batchelor’s main photograph and the numerous surrounding model images displaying clearly.

There is visible rubbing and whitening along the left-hand spine, with a number of small horizontal stress marks caused by opening and handling. The lower spine area shows more concentrated wear.

The bottom-left corner is rubbed and slightly softened, with some whitening and light creasing. Additional rubbing is visible along the bottom edge.

The top-left/spine corner has light wear, while the top edge shows some minor handling marks.

There are light surface scratches, scuffs and handling marks across the front cover, particularly noticeable in some of the darker printed areas. A few minor creases and ripples are also visible.

The cover retains its overall shape reasonably well and there is no obvious major front-cover tear in the supplied photograph.

The photographed contents page appears clean and readable, with good colour and no obvious major staining or page damage.

The Casey Batchelor double-page feature appears intact, with strong photography and print. There is normal curvature through the centre fold from the magazine being opened, but no obvious major tear or detached page is visible.

The rear/exterior photograph shows further spine-edge and bottom-edge rubbing, including several small white stress marks and light corner wear. The magazine nevertheless appears to remain structurally together.

No obvious handwriting is visible.

Overall, this is a presentable used copy with moderate spine, edge and corner wear plus general surface handling marks, while the important model feature pages shown remain clean and visually strong.
