Hee. This is harder work than I expected!
So, it's backwards*, and poorly indexed, and there's some stuff I wanted to comment on. This will all be fixed...later. Right now I'm going to kick back and watch an appropriately vintage edition of Top Of The Pops.
Aw, boo. Peter Powell got a haircut! He was significantly cuter in the late-70s ones I've been watching. It must be great to be him tho. Don't you think? Everything is super! and fantastic! and yeah! and great! I swear, the dude's neural web is made of candyfloss. But anyway.
Coming soon: An awesome Bunty picture library story about a girl and her ostrich, and a copy of Smash Hits from March '82. Although first I've got to clean up the scans a bit, and figure out how the heck to organise this blog. Watch this space...
*EDIT: Fixed! I messed around with the timestamps. Which felt rather dishonest, but it seems to have done the job.

jackie annual 1981, front cover.
Ladies and gentlemen - yes, gentlemen! We all know you read this kind of stuff on the sly. Don't worry. I won't tell...Je vous presente: THE JACKIE ANNUAL 1981.(It seems as good a place to start as any. )
pages 2-3: your true colours! part 1
You can click on the image to see a hi-res version. Otherwise you won't be able to read it. If you don't read it, you won't find out what colour you should wear in order to attract the boy of your dreams (as determined by TRUE ASTROLOGICAL SCIENCE), and without that knowledge you will die a lonely spinster! Which would not be good. :(An extract (from Taurus):
Be very sure it's a reddish-orange you wear though, not a yellowy one - or you could find yourself just sitting there finding fault with all the boys in the room. Yellow's not a very good colour for you, it makes you too critical. Anything too bright just isn't you at all - but on the other hand, you don't want anything too dull either. Go for natural earthy colours with a splash of orange to liven things up.
Blimey. It's a minefield!
