Category: Magazine Appearance

This month marks the 25th anniversary of Veronika’s first appearance on a magazine cover. There were 3 magazines published that Oct in 1997 …. “Juicy Tits” (from Belgium/Netherlands), “Revelation” (from France) and “People with Pix (from Australia).

Certainly a global beginning to say the least !!!!!

It did not take long for her appearances on magazine covers to explode averaging nearly 4 covers / month for the next 6 years. Certainly the publishers recognized the selling power of Veronika.

Unfortunately her appearances have dried up these last few years but she certainly had a great run which lasted a remarkable 22 years. I bet there are not many other models that can claim the same level of fame as Veronika had and still has today.

It’s only a little over a year and another 100 magazines featuring Veronika have been discovered bringing the total magazine count to 1400!!!!

Number 1400 even featured Veronika on the cover … an issue of Polish magazine WAMP from July 2000.

If you are interested in seeing the full listing of all of Veronika’s magazine appearances you can either visit the Magazine Appearances page of the website or download a PDF of the complete listing here.

I have not reported on this topic in a while, but the magazines found in which Veronika was published continue to be uncovered after all these years due to the tireless efforts of fellow fans like PyroGray and BTA (to name a few) to search the likes of eBay and other hosting sites to find these. Amazingly the count has just topped 1300!!!. This is no mean feat as the fact that her appearance is never documented in any of these recent finds. Worse yet even it you could see the table of contents for the magazines it is highly unlikely that her real name was used to identify the layout. She has been published under hundreds of different names. One of these days I’ll get around to document all of them and publish them here.

It did not seem like that long ago that I had reported that the 1000th magazine in which Veronika appeared was found … the size of the collection continues to increase unabated.

A recently discovered archive of Russian magazines pushed us over the 1300 mark earlier this month. One of these magazines even featured pics which have never been been published in any other magazine before and will be featured in a new Set in the archives shortly.

I wanted to answer the most common question asked to me either via email / blog / forum …

How do you guys keep finding all this new material of Veronika?

The answer is actually quite simple:

MAGAZINES

And if you think about it it makes total sense …

Veronika was in her modeling prime at the time that true broadband internet was still in it’s infancy. The bandwidths were horrible and it was hard to find any website posting images online with resolutions of greater than 500 pixels. At the same time, printed magazines were still very popular and available at every street corner. Publishers were still relying on the sale of magazines as their prime source of income and were using the web merely as an advertising tool to try and get you to buy their magazine. Their strategy as well appeared to be that they would post certain “teaser” pics on their websites and then go publish a completely different set on pics in the magazines themselves. And thus the source for new pics.

Over the years the index contained primarily pics found posted on websites because those were “USUALLY FREE”, easy to find, catalog and post. Finding images in magazines is a whole other issue however. It does require and outlay of cash and knowing exactly which issue Veronika was published in can be a struggle. However in the end the challenges are all worth the reward!!! There are several of us on the forum who are constantly on the hunt for new magazine material and we have been quite successful over the years to find new content (as can be seen from the magazine count in the collection). I suspect that between us we still have several hundreds of new pics which have yet to make an appearance in the index.

However, we do have a plea for finding a Scandinavian based Veronika fan who would be willing to help us track down some issues from Finland, Sweden and Norway … we know that those are as of yet untapped and have been extremely difficult to come by on any of the standard selling platforms like eBay and eBid etc. So if you are willing to help, please drop us and email.
