Inspired by another thread love songs it got me to thinking about posters I had on my bedroom wall when I was a teenager. I had David Cassidy and the Biba poster
Who did you have

I had David Cassidy too - the one from Jackie that came in several parts so you had to make sure it was properly aligned!!
Well I had several poster/ pictures of him - he was such a beautiful young man!
I also had a couple of the Osmonds and a David Essex one too after I met him at Godspell.
They are all in a scrapbook now

Unfortunately I wasn’t allowed to put up anything on my bedroom walls. (And I was an only child)

James Dean in the late fifties., when I returned from honeymoon in 1960 it had disappeared!!

I wasn't allowed; it would damage the wallpaper.

Donny Osmond when I was 14 and was fortunate to actually meet him at a local hotel when I was 55 .(he was friends with the owner)
He gave me a kiss on the cheek. A signed photo with a lovely message on.

The title made me laugh - because it made me think of posters... on GN.

Honestly, didn't really have posters in the 50s and early 60s ...

Martin Kemp, Roger Taylor (Duran Duran) and U2. When i was 5 i did have a poster of Rod Stewart and a Showaddywaddy poster with my Wombles lampshade!

Cat Stevens, David Essex and a random one Henry Darrow who played Manolito in the High Chaparrel tv programme ! Think I liked his Mexican hat !

Sparklefizz Sun 25-Jul-21 07:41:05

I was away at college.
Far from my parents' predictable tiresome comments, if TOTP was anything to go by, of things like-
ooh, he looks like girl with that hair
