Jackie Dating Guide 1969
What a different world it was back then! Reading through this little booklet which came free with Jackie magazine in 1969 reminded me of the angst of those young teenage years when many hours were spend with friends discussing how to get a boyfriend.
I found this in a box of old books I had stored away at the back of a cupboard. I suppose I kept this because it would have been the "dating bible" of its day! My friends and I devoured each edition of Jackie magazine, plastering our bedroom walls with pictures of the latest heartthrob from Jackie.
Cathy and Claire were the agony aunts who answered all the teenage problem letters. That page was a must read!
The little booklet is so sweet now - and actually quite sensible in many ways. But then that's the opinion of an oldie - wonder what today's teenagers would make of it????!!!!!
Did you read the Jackie?
Love, Liz
