David Cassidy was my first poster pinup, I used to tape all the songs off the TV when The Partridge Family was on. I hung a microphone over the TV and my whole family had to stay quiet! My brother often didn't oblige.
Then I moved onto Roger Taylor of Queen, the hair, his eyes mmm.

I've,already made clear how much I loathed cabbagey old school.

This appealed far more than sing something simple.

The Beatles, Natch!

The French singer Richard Anthony, Paul Newman and Adam Faith.

Robert Horton in my very early teens.

The Kinks marvellous. I saw them a few times and Ray Davies solo in later years. I really should have apologised for being part of a group that chased Ray and Dave Davies around Birmingham.

My sister loved Robert Horton. Gorgeous man.

Mr Horton (is this him?)

Kate1949 Fri 12-Aug-22 22:15:43

That's him. He was younger in Wagon Train.

I shared a room with a youger sister ,I moved out and in with my older sister because I hated all the posters on the walls .ceiling and even inside of cupboard doors .No posters on my walls ever .I always loved music ,not the image of the artist,that wasn't important to me

Mick Ronson. The answer to every maidens prayer. grin I still adore Mick to this day. Bowie also, but he scared me a bit. The androgyny thing was a bit weird, but so wonderfully alluring to my 13/14 year old mind!

Russ Conway! Thought he was gorgeous, but no posters at my house if I remember correctly.

BlueBalou Sat 13-Aug-22 07:53:38

I wasn’t allowed posters, my mum ripped up any I had.

Charleygirl5 Sat 13-Aug-22 07:55:15

I was not allowed posters. My bedroom resembled any hotel room, very impersonal.
