The Pop Culture Fiend Photo Gallery is Finally Here!

The Pop Culture Fiend Archives includes an extensive collection of popular (and obscure) periodicals dating back as far as the early 1980's. My closets house crates and bins with literally hundreds of magazines (from a wide variety of genres) including Time, Newsweek, People, Us, Ebony, Sports Illustrated, Flex, Ironman, Muscle and Fitness, Runners World, Tennis, Men's Health, GQ, Vanity Fare, Cosmopolitan, Elle, Vogue, Glamour, Mademoiselle, Photo and Rolling Stone. The collection also includes defunct titles like Maxim, Stuff, Spin, Spy, Entertainment Weekly, InStyle, Life, U.S. News & World Report, Sport, Parade, Premiere, Movieline and Playboy; along with several short-lived and/or long forgotten ones like Details, Detour, Model, Mouth to Mouth, Code, Bikini, Razor, Inside Sports, and Mirabella.

Now in addition to these full issues that take up far too much of my closet space, there were also scores of other issues that I chose to get rid of... but not before I clipped and saved a ton of their best and coolest articles and photos. These photos now occupy yet another plastic storage container in my humble dwelling and now, after many, MANY years, I've finally gotten around to scanning/digitizing them so they can be preserved and shared. You can scroll to see some of my first batch and I'll also be posting a lot of these to relevant communities on Reddit, including subs like r/OldSchoolCelebs, r/80s, r/90s, r/ClassicScreenBeauties and r/GenX.

Finally, know that many of these photos are extremely rare. I Google image searched a bunch of them and in many instances didn't find them anywhere else on the internet. So I guess props to me for being the conscientious custodian and curator of this content. After all, there aren't many of us who possess such a volume of 30-40 year old magazines and photos, or who would take the time to scan, digitally enhance, upload and publish them online.

I guess that's just what makes me the Pop Culture Fiend.
