It’s devastating… Zayn Malik is leaving One Direction!!!!!
How could he??!!!!
Lil Princess is devastated!
In her 7 year old world, they were the be all and end all of, well, everything!
I saw the news, and had to bring her in out of the garden to break this earth shattering news to her, and she spent an hour watching youtube clips, announcing the decision, and then watching their song videos, as it made her feel better… !!!
As they were… no more!
I giggle, thinking about it! She only really discovered them a couple of months ago, as one of her best buddies is obsessed with them and I wonder, is it a peer pressure thing? Or does she feel she has to like certain songs or bands, because the others do?
Takes me back to my childhood, and teen years though… When my walls started off being covered by Kylie and Jason posters…
What a pair, Kylie and Jason, aka Scott and Charlene!
Oh how I loved to watch Neighbours, and was overjoyed that my favourite characters were now branching out into music as themselves!!!
But how can I forget??!! It didn’t start there, the first posters to appear were of Wham! And at least I can honestly say, my heart wasn’t broken when it came out about George Michael, well, coming out! I was Team Andrew Ridgely all the way!
Oh Wham-drew!!! swoon!
Then there was the teeny tiny Tom Cruise!!!
Top Gun!!
I’ve always loved the dark looks, rather than the blonde Adonis style, oh, apart from the gorgeous Brad Pitt… Hubba hubba!!
Brad!
But I remember following Bros, that ‘wonderful’ 80’s band of the “When will I be famous?” Song fame… It was because everyone else in my class was swooning over them, buying their Doc Martens and attaching bottle tops to them, like the boys!
Bros… plus one!
It was all about Matt or Luke Goss…which one of the twins did you fancy? No one paid a blind bit of notice to Craig Logan!
Then, from across the pond came New Kids On The Block!
NKOTB!
Ok, so I look at that picture now and think “Why???!!!!” But at the time, Jordan Knight was to die for, well in my eyes anyway!!!
It was always more a case of liking a band, singer or actor because everyone else did, not because I really liked them!
I wasn’t big on idolising any of our punjabi stars, or Bollywood actors at that time.. (Had you seen them?!) the actresses were pretty, I wanted to be like them, but the actors.. Hmmm! But nowadays the youngsters have so much eye candy, buff, lean metrosexual guys who parade as actors, for drooling purposes!!!
Now if I was 25 years younger… I know who’d be gracing my walls!! 😜
Arjun Rampal
Still, I can’t complain, I have my pin up lying next to me every night…
But I Smile Anyway...

I lived through the devastation of having two tweens back when the Spice Girls broke up. I had a roomful of their friends at my house watching it live on Sky News, oh the pain of it all…

Oh God, that must have been painful!!!!! Thing is, I’m sure I must have felt devastation when Wham! Split, and NKOTB decided to part ways, but I don’t remember it as much… But to watch Lil Princess yesterday was comic!!!

Too cute! I guess you can live vicariously through your lil princess and ‘strongly’ recommend who she should pin up on her wall. 🙂

The posters are strictly for the “artistic” value. 😉

Of course…! You know the other reason I had posters was because I hated the paper on the walls… It used to be the spare room before it became my bedroom, and had this paper with time green flowers…all over.. No break. So I covered it up, using posters and bluetak. The tak stained, so I used dressmaking pins…
Once I got over the poster phase, I took em all down, and my Pops walked past that door, and the way the light shone on the walls,must showed all these little nicks in the paper where the pins had been… Boy did I get a telling off, I mean the bed sheets, the curtains, the lampshade had all matched the paper, ( total littke green flower overload, I told you!) and now it looked so awful, we were gonna have to get it redone!!
Still, I got my own choice wallpaper in the end after all!!! 😁😁😁😄😄😄😜😜😜

LOL! Fantastic story! What girls get away with. I remember making the comment that I didn’t like the colour of my room. I got the “It’s my house, I paid for it, it’s my colours” from my dad. So I left the posters up on the walls and even after I moved out. (I didn’t want him to see the walls for escatly what you said.) 😉
