Gettin' My Poster Geek On

At the risk of exposing my true geekness,

I pose this question to you....
Who did you have hanging on your wall "back in the day?"

Here's who I had...it was the 70's and I was a tween...
Don't laugh!

Oh, all right...laugh!
But don't laugh at my dear sweet David Cassidy!

Bay City Rollers

Rex Smith

I'll even admit to having these too!
I'm gonna let my geek flag fly!

Tony DeFranco (and Family)

Donny Osmond

(In my defense, as a teen, I had
Bono & U2 hanging on my wall.)


This is who Chilly had hanging on his wall...
(Chilly is sitting at his desk right now drooling...
I know you are, Chilly...)



Jacqueline Smith


This is who Chilly has on his wall now...

(Chilly has a man crush on The Rock)

This is who I have hanging on my wall now...

(Long stringy hair...from mythical lands...
lovin' their swords....hmmm)

Now it's your turn to let your poster geek flag fly!

Happy Wednesday!

p.s. Jillene reminded me of Shaun Cassidy! Does anyone remember Bo Donaldson & the Heywoods? What about The Hudson Brothers? How could I forget KISS, Peter Frampton, Andy Gibb? (I'm old and forget things...that's how! lol! Thank you, Raven for reminding me!)

p.s.s. Did anyone read Tiger Beat and 16???? What about Teen?

I am sure your first picture is the exact one I had! I was super cool though, I had a t-shirt as well. There is a picture of me in North Carolina with my parents in 1977, with the t-shirt on. My Mom bought me that shirt???!!!Weird.

To get off topic for a moment - while we were vacationing in NC, my parents let me go to the playground at the hotel by myself. I was six years old. Can you even imagine that today? Different time, I guess.

Okay, now this is where it gets ugly. In my tween years, and early teens I was Michael Jackson, and Boy George crazy~!~

Good times. (sorry for the blog on your blog once again)

Every inch of my walls in my bedroom was covered with New Kids On The Block!

Oh yeah, I was obsessed! Before that it was Milly Vanilly (I know) and Michael Jackson.

I actually slept with a picture of Michael Jackson under my pillow and I'd cry everytime I'd watch his music videos!

And I agree 100% with you now posters--oh man--yum-a-licious!!

I couldn't tell you one particular guy I had posters of... what can I say, I was boy crazy!!! (And still am!) I had a lot of band posters on my walls, as well as Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Andrew Keegan, Devon Sawa... all the heart throbs of the (early 90's?) LOL As I got older they were replaced with posters of Korn, Disturbed, 311, and the Deftones. Awww... young poster love.

This post was so much fun! Talk about a walk down memory lane. I loved Sean Cassidy ("the do-run, run, run,the do-run, run" - is how I think that song went) as well as
Leaf Garrett. I would get my posters from some magazine I think called tiger beat/tean beat??

You should create a Mr. Linky to this post and have everyone post their posters!

I hit tween-ness in the early 80's and I had Shaun Cassidy, Willie Aames, Scot Baio, and anything else that Tiger Beat decided to feature, on my walls.

Ronnica said…
Hmmm, I didn't have posters up, but I really liked Devon Sawa (definitely had to look up his name, I just remembered him being in the movie "Wild America").

Raven said…
Wow,...this brought back the memories. :)

I was born in 1970, but had all the boys hanging on my wall by age 6 since I had an older sister. We loved anyone 'hot' in our Tiger or Teen Beat Magazines! haha
Leif Garrett was my absolute fave, along with Andy Gibb, Scott Baio, Peter Frampton, KISS, Farrah Fawcett, Charlies Angels, Linda Carter as WonderWoman, then Sylvester Stallone as Rocky.
In the 80's Culture Club, Madonna, and Duran Duran ruled, along with all the other New Wave bands from Europe.
My walls were always PLASTERED since I grew up in a small PA town. I had to get my creative juices flowing somehow!

First, I wanted to say I'm sorry I'm so behind on commenting. But, I'll have you know I read every single post from my iphone in bed at night! LOL!

You are one funny and creative lady. The things you come up with are hilarious.

And, I'm thrilled to know someone else who remembers Rex Smith and the movie Sooner or Later. I loved that show. It was so risque for the time.

Bay City Rollers... OMG... I loved all these that you posted. Sweet memories. And, yes, I loved Teen Beat and the other teen magazines. I'd rip those posters out and stick them all over my walls. LOL!

Oh man, oh man...the memories are flooding back!

I was born in '80 so...in the early '90ies it was NKOTB, Johnny Depp (I <3 21 Jump Street!), Jonathan Brandis, Brad Pitt (yummy, yummy *drool*...I had a whole pictorial where he had long stringy hair and had his shirt off, it was all over my room!), Christian Slater (who looks REALLY creepy now!) and Full House galore!

I love this post, thanks so much for reminding me...I have to go find my scrapbook I made when I was a tween and laugh!!!

Hi. I use to love Andy Gibb & Rex Smith. Scott Baio. I remember the Hudson Brothers (1 of them is Kate Hudson's real Dad). I also loved Donnie Osmond. Then I got into Hairbands & my walls were covered with Bon Jovi, Def Leppard & Motley crue. I still love hairbands. I wasn't into NKOTB. I think I was older when they came out. These days 1 of my faves is Sawyer from Lost. I love the long haired guys. Johnny Depp looks good as a pirate.

I was beginning to think I was the only one who remembered Bobby Sherman! Ahh, David Cassidy. And Barry Williams (Greg from Brady Bunch). He began my love of blue eyes and black hair that lives to this day.

OH MY GOD! This so took me back! I can tell we are about the same age! I didn't realize the Bay City Rollers were so geeky looking. They were my first 45 single (remember those!?) S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night.

Good times.

Not Me Monday! I Am NOT Adding More Prizes to My Monster Giveaway..or am I???

NOT ME Monday is brought to you by the fabulous MckMama over at My Charming Kids . Please send your well wishes for her wee Stellan. He needs our love and prayers. Thanks! I did NOT curl up and rock back and forth sucking my thumb in a dark corner for hours last week because of the stupid surge that sent my laptop to the Geek Squad hospital during my MONSTER giveaway. I would NOT act like such a baby. Also, I did NOT cry so hard on Tuesday (and Wednesday) that my right eye was actually swollen shut for a while. I would NOT be so emotional over a computer. My son did NOT tell me I was EMO because I did NOT wear black all week and act depressed. I did NOT stand in the middle of my yard shaking my fist to the heavens and yell (in my Scarlett O'Hara voice) "As God as my witness, I will never be laptop free again!" I also did NOT roll around in agony in my yard screaming.."WHY? WHY? WHY is this crap happening to me!!!!???? Why this week????"" I did NOT feel HO...
