Maxim Magazine May 2000 Cat Deeley Woman Of The Year Issue 61 SKU 1550

Original UK Maxim Magazine, May 2000, Issue 61, with Cat Deeley as the main cover star and Maxim’s Woman of the Year.

This is a substantial turn-of-the-millennium issue of Maxim, combining celebrity features, glamour photography, entertainment, humour, lifestyle, fashion, technology and unusual reportage. Cat Deeley dominates the front cover and is given a major interior feature celebrating her Woman of the Year win.

Cat Deeley – Woman of the Year

The principal feature is devoted to Cat Deeley, who was rapidly becoming one of the best-known British television personalities of the period.

The photographed contents identify her feature as “Top Cat”, beginning around page 98, with Maxim describing her as its Woman of the Year. The interior photographs show Deeley in fashion-led studio photography, including a glossy dark jacket and metallic skirt, presented across a large double-page opening.

For collectors of Cat Deeley memorabilia, late-1990s/early-2000s British television material or vintage men's lifestyle magazines, this is a particularly relevant issue.

Other Magazine Contents

The photographs show a wide range of additional period content, including:

• Alison Armitage – promoted as the “Aussie bra sensation”.
• The Vengaboys / Vengagirls – feature titled “Viva Las Vengas”.
• Malcolm McLaren – article discussing the punk figure and his exploits.
• Charlize Theron – named prominently on the front cover.
• Ricky Tomlinson.

• “What She Wants” relationship/lifestyle content.
• Maxim's recurring How To... section.

• A period technology section featuring items such as Sony electronics and gaming-related prizes.

The contents pages are especially representative of British men's lifestyle publishing in 2000, with the magazine mixing celebrity culture, television, humour, consumer products, fashion and glamour photography.
