More, February 1999

Are you a dirty dreamer or a brazen babe? Do you prefer to wear your gems in your hair or in your belly button? Have you heard Denise van Outen’s playing the next Bond girl? 

It’s the one you’ve been waiting for… it’s More! Magazine. 

The year is 1999 and it’s Valentine’s Day which can mean only one thing: We’re spicing up our sex lives. But before we get to that, we’ve got to wade through a sea of hair mascara to hear from six women about why being beautiful is actually a terrible burden. Yes, this timeless women’s magazine debate is back, subtly remastered for 1999.

The Hags take a rollercoaster ride through the drugs and booze-fuelled life of a young Robbie Williams, get some frankly insane beauty tips, and we round off with everyone’s favourite piece of 90s magazine nostalgia, the iconic Position of the Fortnight.
