100 MAXIM WWW.MAXIM.COM.AU MOMENTS…
2011
1 Issue No.1, August 2011 — Jennifer Hawkins helps launch MAXIM Australia to the world with a sensationally sexy lingerie feature shoot in a Sydney hotel, becoming our first-ever cover girl. Over 500 VIP guests, including Scott Cam, Kyle Sandilands, Jesinta Campbell, The Faders and a swag of TV, film, music, fashion, gaming and sports stars, celebrate into the wee hours at our official launch party held at the Museum of Sydney.
2 In October, long before Batwoman was the first openly gay superhero, former Aussie TV host, DJ and actress Ruby Rose revealed her naked ambition for us in an exclusive cover shoot posing nude in a controversial feature for PETA. Baring all, Ruby only wears an assortment of wigs complimenting her faultless nude figure while showcasing her anti-fur crusade. Still one of her most daring covers to this very day.
3 Best known for her bikini work, illustrious Sports Illustrated and Australian model Jessica Gomes graces our December cover — in a classy topless pose. Revealing her real and perfectly plentiful chest, the Perth glamour over-shares with, “My boobs are growing and they’re not fitting into sample-size tops!” How. Dare. They!
4 In December, the inaugural MAXIM Awards celebrating excellence across hotness, sport, humour, politics, stupidity and heaps more, sees Black Caviar take out Woman of the Year. Giddy up!

6 We go shopping with retired NBA basketballer Shaquille O’Neal which sees him spend $75 of his $848 at Starbucks. Another $167 is spent at Victoria’s Secret.
7 Singer Katy Perry dons the leather and lace for her sexy MAXIM shoot telling us, “I think my curves are something to be proud of.” We simply couldn’t agree more, KP!
During our chat with NBA star LeBron James he asks when his mum can see this interview, adding, “She’s going to be delighted to see her son in the magazine.” We ask if his mum is a big MAXIM fan
