Parade (British magazine)
British men's magazine / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Parade was a British magazine for men. With origins dating back to 1916, the magazine went through a number of different incarnations and different publishers until it went defunct sometime in the mid-2000s. It was originally known as Blighty between 1916 and 1920 and was intended as a humorous magazine for servicemen. Relaunched in 1939, as Blighty Parade, it was turned into a pin-up magazine. Arthur Ferrier, a celebrated British artist, contributed significantly to the magazine with his distinctive pinup cartoons, which were often featured on the cover.[1] Renamed Parade in 1960, by the 1970s content had progressed to topless and nude photos of models, and at the end of the 1990s it went hardcore.
