My Guy is one of the foundation stones of today’s massive pop – culture magazine genre. It defined what it meant to be young in the 1980s and was a template for the hugely successful gossip mags that came later like “Heat”, “Closer” and “OK!” 

This compilation showcases the best (and a little of the worst!) of the magazines’ content: photostories – featuring many stars before they were famous – including Hugh Grant, Tracey Ullman, Lesley Ash, Alex Kingston and Tony Hadley; pop and film-star pin ups (Sting, Simon Le Bon, George Michael etc); fashion and lifestyle articles; problem pages and hot celeb news.
