ome at 2.15 am


I went shopping yesterday and as is my thing I went to some Charity shops.
I love Charity shops. The original recycling plants with
that added thing that others will benefit along the way.

I hit lucky. I found a 70s book and a couple of 80s ones.
I asked the girl behind the till whether they get much stuff like this in.
She said '
oh yes all the time' .. so I have left my number with them for future finds. ( Note to self- I must get some cards printed and a new bookcase).

The 70s find was about the teen magazine 'My Guy' and it cost me 20
p (gawd you can't even buy a bar of chocolate for 20p here now !)

It first came out in 1978 and ran into the early 80s.
I remember buying it the late 70s as it was a bit 'ladette' not the 'cutie' Jackie stuff I was used to. It excelled itself with dramatic photo stories and gritt
y problem pages about losing your virginity etc.. (I do know my Mum gave it a big 'tut tut' rating at the time.)

Many 'stars' of later years had their debut in My Guy's photo stories......it must have been great fun to do

Here are a few ... can you name t
hem??

Not sure about the first two but that looks like Alex Kingston, George Michael (what a chubster) Hugh Grant (nice hair!) and Tracey Ullman to me. How amazing! Never heard of that magazine - what a brilliant find.

Diane knew the one's that I recognised!!! - not fair!!!!

Anyway, about your lost virginity - have you looked under the sofa? .... it might be a tad dusty by now of course.
