Apologies if this has already been posted, but it looks like Zoo Magazine is going the way of Nuts...

Three cheers. The "wimmin" have won. I hear FHM is also dead.

**Mal Hombre** · November 17th, 2015, 05:53 PM

It's nothing to do with Wimmin,It's all down to sales,People just aren't buying these titles in enough numbers to make it worthwhile anymore.

Maybe it is because I am older but I don't really care about lads mags anymore, they have had their day in the sun and I think it is about time that a different attitude to women was adopted. Forums will probably be the best place for finding loads of naked babes/models but then the Internet probably helped to kill off the magazine as well as feminists who go around wearing 'Get Rid of Page 3' - well ladies, you succeeded. I think we will just have be content with our past memories of what it was like to buy a magazine off the top shelf of a newsagents.

I haven't brought a lads mag or top shelf publication in years.

Why would I waste my time and money when I can get better stuff for free off the net?

Sadly it might mean less stuff for free if a lot of the models head off elsewhere, but it will never die out entirely... Too many horny guys out there willing to pay for a flash of female flesh..! (trying saying that after a couple of pints of scrumpy)

I enjoyed those magic few years in the late 2000s when you could find knockout T&A mags on sale in sainsburys or tescos .
No need to reach up to the top shelf anymore .
Happy days but all gone now !

**pharoahegypt** · November 17th, 2015, 07:41 PM

Yeah; the days were every couple of months a new one would come out on sale with a stunning pictorial. I still recall seeing Dannii Minogue as a regular in those lads mags; as well as a short lived mag called FRONT whose best capture was the one where Tracey Shaw showed us everything, including her bush through the way too small panties....!

Those were the days.............

Front was great. I remember fondly it's work with the divine Natasha Mealey - when she'd only ever been in The S*n, here she was in a lot more provocative poses. They also used Katie Richmond and Lucy Becker a lot.

Well that'll be leaving a gaping hole in the field of Literary Excellence

To hell with litteracy I just wanted a good tug .
I think this was my favourite ever of those lads mags .
Front from summer 2011 .
Hannah martin and Mel Clarke showing plenty of tits and arse at the beach .
Amazing in hindsight you could just pick it up in tescos .
I even bought the poster version of that centrespread .

I wish the sun would employ fronts photographer for what remains of page 3 !
Always brought something special out in the girls .
And no plastic dolphin in sight !
