FHM Magazine June 2005 Mariah Carey Imogen Bailey Models SKU 1472

Pre-owned / used original magazine.

Please study all supplied photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description.

This copy shows noticeable signs of previous reading, handling and storage and should not be considered mint or newsstand-fresh.

The front cover remains bright and highly presentable overall, with the Mariah Carey cover image and FHM masthead retaining strong colour. However, there is visible age and handling wear across the cover. Most notably, the upper-right corner has a pronounced diagonal crease/fold running down through the blue border and into the red FHM masthead area. The top edge is also slightly uneven/curled in this area.

There is additional rubbing and wear along the spine, including small scuffs and whitening, particularly towards the lower section. The lower-left corner and bottom edge show further rubbing and softening from storage. Light surface marks and minor creases can also be seen across the cover.

The internal pages photographed remain bright, readable and securely held, with normal page curvature and handling wear. The contents pages and Mariah Carey feature shown retain good colour and presentation. Some page edges show mild age-related waviness/softening, but no major internal damage is apparent in the supplied photographs.

The rear cover remains attached and shows general edge and corner wear, particularly along the spine and lower edges.

No obvious large tears, detached sections or major missing areas can be identified from the photographs supplied, but this is a 20+ year-old pre-owned magazine with visible handling wear, so please use the photographs as the final guide to condition.

Description

Original FHM Magazine – June 2005 UK edition.

A very recognisable mid-2000s issue of FHM, fronted by Mariah Carey, who dominates the cover and receives a substantial multi-page feature inside.

The front cover carries the large headline:

“Crikey, It’s Mariah Carey!”

and promotes her return to FHM with a full-cover glamour photograph.

This is a particularly attractive issue for collectors of Mariah Carey memorabilia, early-2000s FHM magazines and celebrity magazine appearances.

Mariah Carey Feature

The contents page confirms the principal cover story begins on page 140, with Mariah Carey returning for an FHM feature.

The photographed feature opening is headed:

“Play it again!”

and presents Mariah in a large full-page / double-page editorial layout, photographed in a light-coloured outfit with pearl jewellery.

The feature is credited on the photographed spread to:

Words: Lee Coan
Photography: James White

The magazine's contents describe the feature as Mariah returning to FHM with a new shoot, making this one of the most significant celebrity features in the issue.

Imogen Bailey – Girls of FHM

Another major model feature visible in the supplied photographs is Imogen Bailey.

She is prominently pictured on the contents page under:

“The Girls of FHM – Imogen Bailey”

with the feature beginning around page 70.

The contents describe the Australian model in a dedicated FHM pictorial, making her one of the strongest additional female features in this issue alongside Mariah Carey.
