Original UK Zoo Magazine, Issue 269, dated 1–7 May 2009, a special “Naked Issue” from the magazine’s late-2000s era.

This is a particularly model-heavy issue, with Kelly Andrews and Madison Welch given major coverage, alongside a returning Michelle Marsh feature. Other models highlighted on the cover include Lucy, Keeley, Danni and Seren. The magazine also combines its glamour content with football, movies, cars, gaming, gadgets and entertainment.

Kelly Andrews & Madison Welch

A major part of this issue is the joint Kelly Andrews and Madison Welch feature.

The contents pages advertise “Kelly Andrews & Madison Welch’s two-way strip for our Naked Issue”, and the photographed interior pages show an extensive professionally shot feature of the pair together.

There are large double-page layouts, full-page photographs and further images carrying the Zoo Naked Issue branding. For collectors of either model, this is one of the stronger features visible in the magazine and forms a substantial part of this particular issue.

Michelle Marsh

The magazine prominently announces “Michelle Marsh Returns!” on the front cover.

Inside she receives a sizeable comeback feature, introduced with “Michelle’s Back!” and describing her return to Zoo. The photographed pages contain large-format studio glamour photography, including a prominent double-page feature.

A further Zoo Babe Collection No. 73 page is dedicated to Michelle Marsh, making this issue especially relevant to collectors of her magazine appearances.
