Drew Barrymore Appraisal

Playboy Magazine - January 1995 (Drew Barrymore Cover)

This item is a copy of 'Playboy' magazine, specifically the January 1995 issue. The cover prominently features a portrait of actress Drew Barrymore, who is identified as the main feature, 'IN THE FLESH'. She wears a white T-shirt with the iconic black Playboy bunny logo, and is pulling the shirt up to reveal her midriff, on which two small tattoos, one appearing to be a butterfly, are visible. She also wears pink underwear. Her hair is short and styled with discernible waves, and she has a calm expression with dark lipstick. The magazine's title 'PLAYBOY ENTERTAINMENT FOR MEN' is at the top in large, bold lettering. Below it, the month and year of publication, 'JANUARY 1995', and the price, '$5.95', are clearly stated. The cover includes a table of contents listing various articles and interviews, such as 'HOLIDAY ANNIVERSARY ISSUE', 'PLAYBOY INTERVIEW Wham! Bam! JEAN-CLAUDE VAN DAMME', 'SEX AND PROZAC THE UNTOLD STORY', 'TOM SNYDER LATE NIGHTS BIG MOUTH', and 'A RIOTOUS YEAR IN SEX' on the left side. The right side mentions 'CLARENCE THOMAS RAGE STALKS THE JUSTICE', 'PLUS BRUCE JAY FRIEDMAN', 'DANNY GLOVER', 'ROBERT JAMES WALLER', 'PLAYMATE REVIEW', 'COLLEGE HOOPS PREVIEW', and 'AND MUCH MUCH MORE'. The magazine appears to be in broadly good condition for its age, though there might be minor signs of shelf wear or subtle creasing along the edges and spine typical of a vintage paper product. The colors on the cover remain vibrant. The lower left corner shows what appears to be a UPC barcode and the issue number '01'. The magazine's construction is typical of a standard gloss paper periodical from the mid-1990s, with a saddle-stitched or perfect-bound spine, not fully visible. The quality of the printing appears consistent with mass-produced magazines of that era.
