I’m currently writing an essay. Well, two actually, but this first one is on:

Pictorial representations of freedom and desire in the pre-pubescent child

Or:

When you were a kid, what kind of posters did you slap up on your door/walls?

[The first one sounds so posh, eh? You want to use it? Sure, okay.]

The trouble is, I can’t remember exactly what posters I did stick up on my door. I do remember the MAIN one, which is the subject of my piece, but I can’t remember the others. Just who was big in 1989? My memory is a bit shonky – after all, I was only 10. Yet, at 10, I still had a big gallery of stars looking down on me, I know that for sure.

{Looking to my sister for help here, she might recall some names…}

But I look to you – if you were still of ‘that age’ (teen-ish) in 1989 – who did you have up on your wall? Who were your idols? Your dreamboats?
