Random bored Wednesday afternoon work discussion...

Just17 magazine used to regularly feature a model called Rufus. One person had his picture all over her wall. Another person thought he was odd looking.

We need to settle who was right! 🤣 (From a teenage girl point of view, not an adult woman perving over a topless young model! Otherwise eww!)

Who was Rufus?
Is he still a model?
Was he poster worthy or odd looking?

Personally I had no opinion on him. If he wasn't David Duchovny, I wasn't interested. 😂

YABU - I fancied him
YANBU - Nah, I'd skip those pages

Aah! I am straight back in 1994 and everything smells of the Bodyshoo dewberry spray. I remember Rufus, I definitely fancied him. I think he had dark curly hair.. and presumably his top off a lot of the time. Not sure I would recognise him in a picture now though..

I'm NOT sure

I remember Rufus! I liked him and my best friend liked Malcolm!

We need a picture else how are we supposed to know?

I'm sure I remember Rufus, roughly what year? I remember Vernon Kay was a model before he became a presenter back in the late 90s early 2000s.
