hello, sailors

heya


nothing too much of interest, look you see. except maybe it is, as point of fact.

recently, as in a couple of months ago or so, i stumbled upon this picture of me, or if you like moi, and did with it what everyone does with such these days. that is, scanned it and threw it to the four winds what are social media.

overall, i would say, it got most favourable comments. very, actually, as i had more than one request for a signed copy of it. and so here you go.

this was taken a little south of 32 years ago. i know this because it was on this trip when i bought the True Blue album by Madonna, on cassette. yes, probably off of HMV. if not HMV Oxford then one near or around the Oxford area. but not Oxford Street, London, innit. actual Oxford. well, there was no current Frankie release, and i quite liked the song Live To Tell.

not that you needed such clarification, for everything about the image says 1986. beyond the pub, my Andrew Ridgeley shorts, dapper trainers and penchant for a sailor's hat all scream, yet scream in a loud and clear way, that magnificent year. also the "tank top", or sleeveless t-shirt thing i have on the go. quite the rage it was, to be sure. and yes i am certain it was as much branded with Adidas as the dapper trainers. or maybe, perhaps, it was one of them Nike ones.

i am not at all sure i would be interested in printing out and signing any more copies of this picture, in truth. but, you never know unless you ask. why someone would want it i cannot imagine, but here i am, giving the people what they want.



be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
