Yep, it's one of the artist-designed rooms at the Gladstone, also known as the best place to go for life drawing sessions on a Wednesday night. (I recognized it when you posted, but avoided linking as long as you were in town, because that seemed rather invasive.)

I was 11 in ’83 and I remember having that exact picture of Rob Lowe on the horse (not sure if it was 83 exactly). I also loved C. Thomas Howell …But my absolutely favourite boy was Ricky Schroeder. I actually wrote a fan letter to him and was giddy when his people sent back a form letter and signed (photocopied) picture.

I believe it was the Gladstone, but my internet sleuthing could have been off.

As it happens, I was a 14YO girl for most of 1983, and this was not how I decorated my room, or even the inside of my school locker.

MY hot guys of 1983 were Kevin Bacon and Harrison Ford and Duncan Regehr. (Oh, Prince Blackpool…*swoon*) Geek girls always liked the older men!

I did, however, have posters of unicorns.

Darn, late to the party. As a 13yo in 1983, my room was plastered in Duran Duran posters and cut-out pics from Bop and the like. As I recall, I also had a border near the ceiling of Rolling Stone covers. No unicorns though. That’s so 1980-81 (as were rainbow shirts where the rainbow ran from one arm across the chest and down the other arm).

As another completely random 80′s aside, I’ve had “Stay gold Pony-boy. Stay gold” in my head the past few days.

wtf? No Duran Duran posters? Pfft.

Also you misspelled “Evah” as wirelizard pointed out but I will reiterate.

The room is amazing….I just wish when I went on trips as a kid with my dad the rooms we stayed in were half as interesting as that one.

Have to agree that the pictures of multiple ‘hunks’ are a bit off as most teenage girls i’ve known obsess over only one or two guys.

BTW I was only 5 in 83 my teenage bedroom had Robbie Williams and Tony Mortimer on its walls, mostly ripped from the pages of Smash Hits.
