LUCY PINDER FEATURE

One of the key attractions of this issue is the introduction of Lucy Pinder’s advice column.

The photographed double-page spread shows Lucy in a black lingerie set accompanying the feature, with the article presenting her as Zoo’s new celebrity advice columnist covering relationships and reader questions.

This is a substantial illustrated feature rather than simply a brief mention, making this issue particularly interesting to collectors of Lucy Pinder and early/mid-2000s lads’ magazines.
