Description

I doubt many realised the impact the January 2000 copy of British GQ magazine would mean 25 years later. Featuring the now current First Lady of the Whitehouse, Melania Trump (nee Knauss) entered the public's gaze with a sensationally sexy cover and inside fashion shoot and seemingly the sky was the limit. The then 26 year old had been 'dating' Donald Trump since meeting him at a party in 98. The fashion shoot is in Trump's 727 custom fitted private plane complete with 18 carat gold seat buckles, and the star Melania, (who's fluent in four languages and clearly no slouch), is described as Trump's 'personal hostess'. Prophetically, GQ wryly commented "...Slovenian supermodel Melania Knauss, might just end up as the next First Lady." The then besotted girlfriend gushed re potential future state occasions, and to quote, " I will put all my effort in it and support my man". My my how some things have changed.... This magazine is a gem for the collector and a wonderful historical memoir capturing the power of ego and beauty over talent and hard work. Quite possibly this will be the only First Lady who bares all in such a fashion. Just brilliant. The magazine itself is in well above average condition, intact and undamaged, though has been well leafed in the last while. It's an issue that has become hot property too & is sure to retain its status as the most unique portrayal of when the world, or at least a significant chunk of it, went bat crazy. Love it or hate it, it's a testament to what was and what has become. Could you have even made this up 50 years ago?

Disclaimer: I, as the seller of this magazine express my views independently to the Trade Me platform and with utter & incredulous mirth and wonderment.

NB: the bowl of cat food in the last picture is NOT included. It was a visual prop for a photo i took for a house sitter, so she knew how much food my cat should have while I was on holiday a few years back. The purchaser can be confident of multi use options.
