Pop Idols - Your Embarrassing Photos Needed

Mark Ellen's picture

Have any of you got photos of yourself when you were young that look as though you were modelling yourself on some particular rock star? I have a vision of a magazine spread of WORD readers' photos all congregated in their own particular sections - four Richard Thompsons, two Frank Zappas, three Sandy Dennys, five Joni Mitchells, assorted Liam Gallaghers, a Brian May, a Morrissey, a Robert Smith or two, perhaps a Madonna, maybe a Weller, four Ozzys, a Brett out of Suede - you know the sort of thing.

If you'd like to feature, e-mail a scan of your picture to word@wordmagazine.co.uk. Picture resolution should be as high as possible, and be sure to include your real name as well as the identity of the star you're paying tribute to.

Nice to see...

a) a larger than life antimacassar on the chair behind Fraser. Haven't seen one of these in a while...

b) a post from Mark Ellen. Welcome to the website, Mark.

I'll bet...

...he got Fraser to embed the pictures for him though.

Oh the shame

When I was 16 I wanted that David Coverdale shaggy perm. I couldn't find a clear enough picture to take to the hairdresser so I did the next best thing. I looked through a few magazines until I found another star with the same haircut - Goldie Hawn.

Clarification

That hair of mine is no perm - it's 100% natural.

All is explained

We now know why you wear glasses. You spent a significant part of your life squinting out from behind a thicket of ringlets.

I've waited a long time for the right moment...

I have a small photo of Mr Ellen cut out from a very old ish of Smash Hits.

All I need is a scanner....

Is this

some kind of blackmail threat? Let's hope he doesn't bite - it want to see it!

Scanner

The hunt for a scanner commences - the pic is slightly off topic in that it isn't rock-perm-tastic, but he could pass for a member of Menswear...
