It's time to share a photo from the (very old) archives. If I only knew then what I know now. If I only had the same young skin I had then, now. Sweet sixteen and I had a Pierrot decorating my cake (made for me by the manageress of the bread shop where I worked on Saturdays).Here is a question, no prizes this time.
Guess who was on my cake the following year?
Clue - teenagers like music.
Answer will be revealed tomorrow.
(No - Mum, Beccy and Fred - you are not allowed to enter!)
Michele sent me.
ReplyDeleteMy guess for the following year's cake...either Olivia Newton-John or Cyndi Lauper. (hard to judge the year there, that haircut was pretty common for quite a while!)
rick springfield?
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Sam. granny sends her love.
ReplyDeleteI would love to give a clue as to your next cake but I wont spoil the fun. Enjoy your day xx
Put my vote in for the Ramones.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY SAM!
ReplyDeleteI don't know for the cake, but you're very cute on that picture!
OH !!! Billy Idol !!! Everyone LOVES Billy Idol
ReplyDeleteOK, it's not too far a stretch from
ReplyDeletePierrot to Culture Club.
Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Molly...it has to be Duran Duran.
Back up guess is Englebert Humperdink, but only because it makes me giggle to say his name...
Happy birthday Sam !!
ReplyDeleteI came via Ang's blog
Joyeux anniversaire !
ReplyDeletemick jagger, kylie minogue, prince, i don't know. though it would probably have been easier for the baker if teenagers liked cartoons, like tom&jerry.
ReplyDeleteGood guesses everyone. I had a laugh
ReplyDeleteThe following would have fitted:
I used to be crasy about Blondie when I was 12. I didn't get into U@ until I saw them in my 30s.
I am also a huge Depeche Mode fan.
I liked Olivia NJ when I was 12 also, but it was really sad, I used to mimic Sandra Dee instead of her 'hot' look. Well, I was only 12.
I don't even know who Rick Springfield is.
I was stubborn about Duran Duran, preferring Spandau Ballet at the time. But now I love Duran Duran in retrospect.
Michael Jackson - NO. Ramones, never. Abba - in restrospect only. Ramones - too American? Lennon and the Human League, I liked, Yaz, no, Soft Cell - not really.
I actually saw Gary Glitter in concert when I was about 19. RObert Smith is cute, I saw him once at Glastonbury.
Mick Jagger, he's ok, but I was never obsessed, Kylie is cute, but I am too old for her,
True - Pierrot/Culture CLub is a good link - I am glad I didn't make it!
I baked the cake myself, which is why no tom and Jerry!
thanks everyone.
-Sam
Rick Springfield. I guess it was a US thing. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday! I'm on 6/6 too.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog! Biggles sent me over here, looking forward to stopping back.
