Maxim Magazine April 1999 Issue 48 Emma B Kelly Brook DJ Rap Prince Naseem SKU 1495

Original UK Maxim Magazine – Issue 48, April 1999, featuring Emma B as the main cover model.

A strong late-1990s issue of Maxim with the magazine’s usual mix of celebrity photography, interviews, humour, fashion, sport, travel, technology, entertainment and lifestyle features. The striking black-and-orange cover is dominated by Emma B and carries the headline “Bombshell! Take Cover – It’s Emma B”.

Emma B Cover Feature

Emma B is the principal cover star and receives a substantial feature inside the magazine.

The contents identify her feature on page 90 under “If Only… Emma B – we give her an A+”. The photographed contents pages show several professional studio images of Emma B, including lingerie/fashion photography, while the cover credits identify her as the issue’s cover girl.

The credits shown inside list:

• Cover Girl: Emma B
• Photography: Richard Croft
• Hair: Ruth Warrior @ Carol Hayes
• Make-Up: Britta D @ Mandy Coakley
• Styling: Nicola Huckle @ Mandy Coakley
• Clothes: Bra & knickers by Debenhams, shoes by Patrick Cox

This makes the issue particularly appealing to collectors of late-1990s British glamour, modelling and Maxim memorabilia.
