Posters on your bedroom wall

climaxer

So who were you're "pin-ups" growing up. Who had the privilege to be stuck on your bedroom wallpaper

Here's just some of mine:

Madonna (my Idol)
Bros
East 17 (fav was Brian Harvey)
Brother Beyond
Take That (only for Robbie though )
New Kids on the Block
The Cure (for some reason I thought Robert Smith was sexy! - loved their music though)
Technotronic
Betty Boop (she was so sexy we all wanted to look like her)
Neneh Cherry (got a spiral perm to try look like her)
Milli Vanilli
Prince

That's all I can think of now...

Pamela Anderson.

I wasn't much into pop music, and preferred to spend my money on sweets. I had Iron Maiden posters on my wall. You can't really call Eddie much of a pin-up

Sleipnir

The Blues Brothers.

Had a full length poster of Danni Minouge(!), as well as a B2 stealth bomber and an a F14 Tomcat. When Playboy first came out I tried my luck putting up the centrefolds, but the mother wasn't having any of it.

i thought Bros were cool as a lad, i had a Bros jumper. I loved it till my next door neighbour said that Bos were 3 gays! I was so angry and was like "THEY ARE NOT!! :mad: haha!

Back to posters, i had a lot of WWE posters, Bret Hart and Mr.Perfect. Thats all i can really think of right now. I believe i had a Madness one also.

quick question, what do/did you use to keep the posters on the ceiling?

bloody blue tac kept loosing it's grip tumtacks...**** to keep in

littleninja

I used blue tac - I would hammer it up with my fists and the posters would usually stop falling off after a while....

Taking them down was a bitch though because the blue tac had hardened and it was like trying to peel wallpaper off the ceiling.

I had Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves all over my walls after Dirty Dancing and Point Break. Before that I had All Dogs Go To Heaven and I think I had a few posters of Alf- legend!!

Steven

I was just cleaning out my house and I found a found an original "Sonic The Hedgehog" release poster folded up in the dustiest megadrive box in history! It's in fantastic condition except where it was folded some of the seams have, erm, decomposed with age but a little tape will fix that right up. Nostalgic goldmine!
I've just got an Akira poster up atm.

DO NOT PUT SELLOTAPE ON ANYTHING!!!

You will decrease the collectors value of the poster / book / game box etc.
Leave it as it is... it'll be worth more in the future if you ever go to sell it.

i was a drawer full of manutd posters, books and magazines at home
