The Face

Who remembers The Face magazine?

The Face

I loved this magazine in the 80s, but unfortunately it was very expensive to buy in Australia.

I couldn’t afford it but I had a friend who was well off, and would buy it regularly. After he finished reading it he would give it to me, but if there was an article he wanted to keep, he would not pass it on to me.

This magazine was one of the few magazines I would read from cover to cover. The other one that I would read was House and Garden. I was not just obsessed with music but interior decorating.

I will be your father figure

I grew up with a father that didn’t want any kind of relationship with me.

The only thing he did to me was physically, emotionally, and mentally abuse me.

So I got my father energy from television instead.

Father one was Porter Ricks in Flipper.

Father two was Ed Devereaux in Skippy.

Father Three was Lee Majors in the six million dollar man.

Father Four was Gil Gerard in Buck Rogers.

Father Five was Robert Reed in The Brady Bunch.

Although I was a huge fan of Star Trek, I did not see Captain Kirk as a Father figure.

my favorite will always be Matt Hammond in Skippy. He was both very strict, and loving.

After these shows the father figures dried up completely. very odd.
