Loaded Magazine January 2005 Issue 129 Dita Von Teese Michelle Marsh Xzibit SKU 1488

Original Loaded Magazine – January 2005, Issue 129, cover price £3.30.

This issue is fronted by Dita Von Teese and contains a strong mix of glamour photography, celebrity features, music, sport, humour and regular Loaded lifestyle content. The photographed contents pages clearly identify it as Issue 129 – January 2005.

The cover has a bold black, red and white design with Dita Von Teese as the main cover feature, supported by several additional celebrity and entertainment stories.

Main Cover Feature – Dita Von Teese

The principal cover star is Dita Von Teese, photographed in a red lingerie-themed shoot.

Inside, her feature is listed on page 94 and described as:

“Queen of the showgirls”

The photographed article opening is headed:

“Queen of the Showgirls”

and features a full double-page glamour photograph of Dita Von Teese.

This is one of the strongest collector points of the issue, particularly for buyers interested in burlesque, fashion, glamour photography and early-2000s celebrity magazines.

Michelle Marsh

Michelle Marsh is another major feature in the issue.

She is listed on page 72 and appears prominently in the contents section.

The photographed interior spread shows a large double-page glamour image of Michelle Marsh, with the feature tied to her 2005 calendar.

The contents describe the piece as an exclusive to Loaded, making this a particularly attractive issue for collectors of Michelle Marsh material and mid-2000s glamour magazines.

Xzibit

Rapper Xzibit is featured prominently on the front cover and contents pages.

His feature is listed on page 106, with the magazine describing it as an interview discussing his life and experiences.

This adds strong early-2000s hip-hop interest to the issue alongside the glamour and entertainment content.

Pierce Brosnan

Pierce Brosnan appears as another major celebrity feature, listed on page 62.

The cover references him with the line:

“Pierce Brosnan – ‘Ciggies are great’”

while the contents present him in a broader celebrity interview context.

This gives the issue additional appeal to film and James Bond collectors.

Sophie Howard

Sophie Howard is also featured prominently.

She is shown on the contents pages as Loaded’s new signing, with her feature appearing in the Ladyland section.

Her appearance is another notable early-2000s glamour feature within the magazine.
