FHM Magazine May 2005 Eva Longoria Desperate Housewives Leann Tweeden SKU 1545

Original FHM Magazine from May 2005, featuring Eva Longoria as the main cover star during the early success of Desperate Housewives. This is a very recognisable mid-2000s FHM issue, combining celebrity interviews and photography with entertainment, television, film, travel, lifestyle, motoring and humour.

The front cover is dominated by a large studio photograph of Eva Longoria, dressed in a white outfit against FHM's bold red-and-white masthead. The cover promotes her as one of the major reasons audiences were watching Desperate Housewives, making the issue particularly relevant to collectors of Eva Longoria, the television series and 2000s celebrity magazines.

Eva Longoria Cover Feature

Eva Longoria receives the principal cover story, beginning around page 114. The contents page describes the feature as focusing on her Desperate Housewives fame and presents additional glamour photography.

This dates from a significant period in Longoria's career, when Desperate Housewives had rapidly become an international television hit.
