My Guy, June 23rd 1979
My Guy magazine launched in March 1978, marketing itself as Jackie's edgier cousin. For just 16p you could get your weekly fix of boys, boys, boys. This issue has a photo stories about an evil doll, an unwanted house guest, and an over friendly friend of the family. Then there's a pin up poster of Robin Williams, a short story about ice skating, and the best advert for Lil-lets.

I've tried a new format this week, mainly because this is a long 'bumper' issue and uploading individual pages was too daunting a task! You can read it as a magazine via Yumpu, or click HERE for a full PDF.
Don't forget to find out whether or not you're sexy! I got 45 which makes me a happy medium, apparently.

I was a confirmed Jackie reader through and through, fun times #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteI haven't got any issues of Jackie - I do have all the annuals though :)
DeleteI haven't read this magazine before :-( I guess my old memories are about magazines that I was able to read back home in Peru. Having said that, this magazine looks super cool!! ;-) Thanks so much for sharing this at #KCACOLS. Merry Christmas to you and your family and Happy New Year 2016. I hope to see you in the New Year! :-) xx
ReplyDeleteI love all the old magazines! I'm slowly selling off my collection though and keeping the digital files instead. I need the space! And you, I hope you have a great Christmas! :D
DeleteA trip down memory lane! It's amazing how many very famous people started off doing photo stories on My Guy etc
ReplyDeleteI know! I'm always sat there thinking, where do I know that face from? :)
DeleteI remember Jackie well! I was in Form Five then and my penpal from UK used to send me the magazines! I was also a big fan of Tiger Beat!
