Subject: Who was on your bedroom walls as a teenager? Sun May 15, 2011 3:33 pm

Hi all,

I rarely had any photos or posters of my favorite entertainers/crushes on my walls when I was a teenager. I would've been (and still would be!) embarrassed if my mother ever found out who I had the hots for.

Who was on your bedroom walls when you were a kid?

Technically...Peter Fonda. I had this HUGE Easy Rider poster. It covered most of one wall. That thing was up for years.

My room decor when I was a teenager was antique. Had an octagonal table with a lamp in Tiffany style glass shade. On my wall was a framed print of Old Ironsides (USS Constitution) and a needlepoint tapestry of a Dutch tavern scene.

I was a weird, Scorpio child - collected coins and stamps, drew, wrote poems and essays and kept a wild mouse in a terrarium.

At one point I had maps from National Geogaphic on all the walls. The ceiling was wall papered black.

Oh yes, my Mercator projection World Map, with Prime Meridian in the center (not that US centric one with two Indias)

Peter Gabriel, Joni Mitchell, Utada Hikaru, Björk.

I made my own posters. Smile

just janet, nothing crazy but quite a few posters

i didnt do the whole "hot guy posters" on my wall thing

o wait, in early 90's 92-95 i had other artist on my wall, keith sweat, aaliyah, 2pac, jodeci, tlc, swv, jade, mary j blige, etc..

during later 90's thats when it was just janet. big grin

Offhand, I remember having had posters of Janet, Paula Abdul, Good Girls, MC Hammer, Snoop Dogg, Freddy Krueger, The Terminator, Yo-Yo, Jade, SWV, En Vogue, the Power Rangers, Beavis + Butthead, etc., etc. But that was more around my 'tween' ten-thirteen years, by the time my teen years got under way I started taking posters down. By age fifteen-sixteen, I don't think I had any posters on my wall.

Wallpaper.

Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen

Paint. I didn't put up posters on my wall when I was a kid like that. Maybe one or two people. I remember MJ being up there. And Nas. But they quickly came down.

For years, my uncle had the Jet beauties of the week covering each wall in his room. I remember my cousin ripping out the pages of Right On magazine and putting posters from there on his wall too. And dammit if it ain't still there.

I also had same of the same posters of those artists. I had Keith Sweat, 2Pac, TLC and SWV.

I didn't do the 'hot guys' thing either, I did people I liked, characters I liked, was interested in, so when I was 13 that was Michael Jackson, and a few years later it became a menagarie of the 3 Stooges, the Marx Brothers, Buster Keaton, Roseanne, Lucille Ball, Twisted Sister, Queen, TLC, Al Capone, Christopher Lambert, several characters from Highlander, Patch Adams, Garfield, Anamaniacs, etc.

I usually had movie posters up, plus a few of whatever band (Duran Duran in the tween years, Warrant in my later teen years) I liked at the moment..
