Oh boy!

There were many things we read at high school, some by ourselves and some we shared and discussed at length.

These magazines were shared every week between us, having features on pop stars, usually hunky boys and well as stars of tv and the movie theatre.


The members of Duran Duran were something we sure discussed back then, I can assure you!

We also liked Sting


They also had features on fashion, making out and boys! In the pre-internet age apart from siblings it was the best place to find out stuff from.
Photo romance stories also featured and we talked about the issues they raised between each other.

It has a  good recreation of a 40's big band which something I grew up listening to on record.
Although panned by critics I loved it for the skating songs and feel good factor as it lodged in my head as part of the soundtrack of summer vacation in 1980 so here's an image from it:
