[D.G.I.F.]

The Deborah Gibson International Fan club (D.G.I.F.) is the only official fan club for Deborah Gibson fans, managed by Deborah's family. D.G.I.F. has been in operation since 1987. At first they sent out one-page photocopied newsletters. In early 1988 they started printed quarterly magazines on glossy paper. These magazines were approximately 20 pages long and contained full-page pictures, exclusive candid pictures, questions & answers, "When I Met Deborah" stories and pen pal listings. Most issues contained a message from Deborah, usually one or two pages in length. Between January 1995 and 1999 they alternated similar 16-page full-color magazines with shorter black & white newsletters. For a while there were four issues each year, but in later years the rate had gone down substantially, and membership was then recorded in terms of batches of four issues, not in calendar years. In July 1999, D.G.I.F. announced they had stopped sending out magazines and newsletters altogether. The official fan club now only exists as a Fans Only area on the Official website, and a hotline.

To give you some idea of what the D.G.I.F. magazine looked like, we have some impressions and pictures from issue 7.4, issue 8.1, issue 8.2, issue 8.3, issue 8.4, issue 9.1, issue 9.2/3, issue 9.4, issue 10.1, and issue 10.2 online.

D.G.I.F. occasionally offers merchandise, such as posters, tourbooks, gift baskets, teddy bears and calendars.
