The contents pages give a particularly good snapshot of late-1990s British popular culture, combining sport, music, cinema, celebrity profiles and Loaded’s distinctive editorial photography. Natasha Henstridge Feature A major reason this issue will appeal to collectors is the extensive Natasha Henstridge content. The photographed interior pages show her in a dedicated editorial spread with large full-page and double-page photography. The imagery uses the stylish late-1990s Loaded aesthetic, including a blue/teal backdrop and carefully staged studio photography. Her feature is clearly one of the headline pieces of the issue and ties directly into the main cover. Amanda Robbins Feature The magazine also includes a substantial Amanda Robbins feature. One photographed double-page spread shows a large reclining editorial portrait, with the heading referencing a “doorstep challenge”. This appears to be a multi-page feature rather than a small sidebar, adding further collector interest for readers seeking issues with substantial model photography. Other Notable Features The photographed contents show additional sections covering: Vinnie Jones A large black-and-white portrait accompanies his entry in the contents, reflecting his crossover profile between football and film/popular culture during the period. Prince Clearly pictured and listed as a major feature, adding appeal for music collectors. Bez Featured prominently among the contents photography. UNКLE Included in the music section, alongside wider late-1990s music coverage.
