This vintage edition of the fortnightly British glamour publication represents a classic example of 1980s adult editorial design under the tenure of publisher Paul Raymond. The cover features a blonde model in a striking red and black lace corset set against a plush background capturing the quintessential girl next door aesthetic that defined the brand during this era.
Highlighting the playful and cheeky nature of the magazine the headlines promise a variety of themed pictorials and articles including a debate on hosiery choices and a travel focused feature regarding sunbathing trends in Spain.
Specific features like the highland fling and roadside romance suggest the narrative style of glamour photography prevalent in the mid eighties while the mention of paint jobs and other double entendres reflect the humorous tone typical of its readership. As a piece of media history from the Paul Raymond era this volume serves as a nostalgic collector item for those interested in the evolution of UK men’s magazines and the specific cultural zeitgeist of the 1980s.
