Vice Magazine, Volume 12 Number 1 is classic early-2000s Vice at its most provocative, with Terry Richardson shooting the cover and contributing a photo feature alongside Hiromix. The issue leans heavily on shock titles and sex-charged humor, with raunchy essays, and deliberately offensive columns that defined the magazine’s style at the time.

Music and culture coverage runs through the issue, with features on High on Fire and Lady Sovereign, plus Plan B offering an irreverent take on sex education. The usual Vice staples appear—Frankly Speaking, Vice Mail, Tidbits, YO! What Is Up?, VICE Pictures, DOs and DON’Ts, Fashion, and the oddball back-page fillers like Gross Jar, Skinema, and Pockets Dumb Fat.

Overall, it’s a mix of outrageous sex-joke features, underground music, and Vice’s trademark mix of satire and sleaze—very much in line with the magazine’s raw, pre-mainstream years.

The key highlight is the Terry Richardson + Hiromix photo feature, billed as a Vice exclusive. At the time, Richardson’s name carried a mix of underground cred and controversy, and pairing him with Hiromix, known for her intimate snapshot photography, gave the spread an edge that fit the magazine’s style perfectly.

So while the regular columns and music features fill the issue, it’s really these two pieces—the pull-out “guide” and the Richardson/Hiromix spread—that define the tone and make this issue memorable in Vice’s early-2000s run.
