Maxim Magazine Hot 100 2005 Eva Longoria Jennifer Love Hewitt Sara Foster

Original Maxim Magazine Hot 100 2005 special publication, featuring the sixth annual Maxim Hot 100 countdown.

The cover has a striking metallic/ice-effect design, with large transparent-looking “HOT 100” lettering formed to resemble blocks of ice. The blue, bronze and silver photographic treatment gives this special a very distinctive mid-2000s Maxim look, with “MAXIM HOT 100 2005” printed along the bottom.

Inside, the introductory page describes this as the sixth instalment of Maxim’s Hot 100, presenting the magazine’s annual ranked selection of models, actresses, singers and other celebrities.

The overall No. 1 position is Eva Longoria, who is shown in the supplied photographs in a pink striped bikini. Maxim’s archived 2005 list confirms the leading positions as Eva Longoria at No. 1, Evangeline Lilly at No. 2, Jennifer Garner at No. 3, Lindsay Lohan at No. 4, Jessica Alba at No. 5, Rachel Bilson at No. 6, Angelina Jolie at No. 7, Brittany Murphy at No. 8, Jessica Simpson at No. 9 and Sara Foster at No. 10.

The photographed contents show numerous other entries and large glamour features, including Sara Foster at No. 10, Cameron Diaz at No. 11, Eva Mendes at No. 12, Ashanti at No. 13, and a substantial Jennifer Love Hewitt feature at No. 32. The adjoining ranking column also visibly includes Salma Hayek at No. 34, Ciara at No. 35 and Avril Lavigne at No. 36.

The feature is heavily image-led, with many entries receiving full-page or substantial photographic presentations rather than simply small ranking photographs. Jennifer Love Hewitt is particularly prominently presented in the supplied images with a full-page portrait, while Sara Foster receives another large-page feature.

Other names confirmed in Maxim’s complete 2005 ranking include Charlize Theron, Christina Aguilera, Beyoncé, Jessica Biel, Paris Hilton, Uma Thurman, Katie Holmes, Kate Beckinsale, Scarlett Johansson, Sofia Vergara, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Anna Kournikova, Halle Berry, Natalie Portman, Keira Knightley, Pamela Anderson, Shania Twain and many others.

This is a particularly appealing period Maxim collectible because it preserves the complete 2005 Hot 100 countdown rather than being a standard single-celebrity issue.

CONDITION

Pre-owned / used condition with visible age and handling wear.

The front cover remains bright and highly presentable, with strong colour and clear artwork, but there are visible surface scratches, rubbing and handling marks across the darker and metallic areas. The cover also shows light edge wear and some minor corner curling/bending.

The spine has noticeable rubbing and small stress marks consistent with previous reading and storage. The outer corners show moderate wear, particularly around the lower corners.

Internally, the photographed pages are generally clean, colourful and fully readable. There is some natural page curvature, slight waviness and occasional light edge/corner wear visible from use. The binding appears intact in the photographs and the displayed pages remain securely attached.

The rear advertisement cover shows some light rubbing and general storage wear around the perimeter.

Overall, this is a good used collector's copy, showing normal cosmetic wear for an approximately 20-year-old magazine/special but retaining attractive covers and strong internal imagery. Please study all supplied photographs carefully as they form part of the condition description.

No separate poster is visible in the supplied photographs, so no poster is included in this description.
