What pictures did you have on you bedroom wall as a teenager?

[PhilB]

Didn't have anything on the walls. A no tape no holes in the wall household.

I had a bulletin board over my desk where I could thumb tack all my pictures, cut out of magazines. We had paintings on the walls, but they were framed and carefully hung by the parents, you can be sure we kids weren't pounding nails at random.

No pictures anywhere in the house on the walls. There was one picture hook in the living room, I assume it came from a previous owner of the house. Almost all pictures were in the photo album. There were two table top framed photos. Thinking about it, it's odd, because both sets of grandparents had things on their walls.

None that I can recall. About the only time I spent in my bedroom as a teen was when I was sleeping.

Wrong post... not awake yet.

My parents weren't that concerned about my "individuality" or teenage angst, no way was I going to put holes in the wall in the house they were still paying on.

I once belonged to a ski club on Long Island. We skied several places in New England including Stowe, VT. (I wasn't that good.)

Did you ever get to ski in Colorado or somewhere that had tons of light fluffy snow with no ice...?

I had pictures of the Beatles from the White Album. They put individual pics of each Beatle in the album so you could hang them. And later I had The Marlboro man because he looked like my boyfriend and I thought he was so hot.

Sis stole his hat during a tour event. I crushed it letting the back seat of my car down. She was perturbed.

I had pictures of dragsters cut out from Hot Rod Magazine taped to my wall and also photos from the Apollo space program.

The Dave Clark Five had the honour of being on my wall. Also, an actor called John Smith, from one of the westerns. My mother said he didn't have much of a name, but he was nice-looking.

I had my walls filled with black light neon posters of popular bands. Hendrix, The Doors, Janis Joplin, Canned Heat, Buffalo Springfield, Jefferson Airplane, and few others. At night we would turn off the lights, turn the black light on, and then I made a strobe light out of an old record player. The player turned a disk that had a hole in it. It would spin and flash quick bursts of light.

I don't remember having any posters or pictures on my bedroom walls as a kid, I don't think there were pictures on any walls in my childhood house. Now that I'm living on my own I'm kind of the same way, my bedroom walls are bare but I do have a couple of photos of my kids hanging up in the front room.

I have no recollections of any wall decorations in the room that my sister and I shared.
