Today in pulp, as a birthday request for @WonderWhoosh, a few issues of Jackie Magazine!

This may involve nostalgia. And flares. And David Essex.
Jackie launched in 1964 as the magazine for go-ahead teens.

Go ahead, listen to Cliff Richard, if that's your thing.
How with-it was Jackie? Hmm, it was certainly a safe choice for Britain's teenage girls...
...heavy on the wholesome features and the big hair fashions.
Nothing frightful or awful ever happened in Jackie!
Love was always romantic...
...pop stars were always wholesome...
...and hair was always massive!
If there's one thing Jackie loved more than a pop star...
...and it did love a pop star...
...like a lot!
It was a hat! Jackie and hats went together like, well like Jackie and hats!
Even its readers got into the Jackie hat action, with obligatory pop star in the background.
So here's to Jackie magazine: long gone but never forgotten. Twitter salutes you J!
