The Fly on set (Smash Hits! Magazine 1990)

Whilst having a clear out last year, I found a few magazine clippings from UK publication Smash Hits!. (a British equivalent to Tiger Beat.).

The Fly was a small cartoon strip featured in every issue. The Fly is literally a fly on the wall interviewer who annoys his interviewees. This particular edition has him donning a foot clan headband and visiting the set of the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.

None of the boys ever admitted to having that saucy affair with ‘Kids in America’ singer Kim Wilde. What could have been the basis of such infidelity? :). Gotta love Kim! <3
The same issue of Smash Hits! also featured a hair-do workshop from Mr Ninja Rap himself – Vanilla Ice! I scanned and shared the article on my personal blog last summer for which Van Winkle himself plugged on Twitter.

More ‘attic clear-out’ stuff to come. It gets better from here.
