Who's your celebrity crush?

“Ey, man!!!” (in that voice)

This video:

I had to google pictures.

Still so pretty:

And, about a year ago, I saw an old Woody Allen film and saw Shelley Duvall for the first time. And I was amazed. How crazy beautiful that woman was. Her big eyes, the eyelid space (interesting thing to notice as attractive), her paleness (yes, one can like paleness!). Her vulnerable expression and in the next moment that glow, that spark.

With my definition of celebrity crushes, I actually keep having small celebrity crushes even at 46. It’s more that I admire someone when I see them. I wouldn’t do what I did as a teenager, then watch entire films just to admire someone. I’m a bit too old for that.

“I’ll feed your obsession”

Abi Tucker

With whatever haircut, even though I only give examples of a few here.

What's an uncomfortable truth you've learned to accept?

Then the second film, where she was 15:

(more recent)

Lovefoxxx

How can the citizens of Russia accept the enormous difference between people? The richest 500 Russians own more than the poorest 99.8% of the entire Russian population combined. Why don't we see any protests?

But I have also always found her really really pretty. And, yes, sexy. During my college year in the US, I had a huge promo poster of her on my door (“Stories from the City…”).

At the same time also: Anat Atzmon. The first Lemon Popsicle film.

And Justine Frischmann:

Jordan Ott hiring strengthens questions on Suns’ decision-making tree - Arizona Sports

Altogether: Her style and her attitude. Wow.

I really do love Tegan as well. But yeah, Sara… I wouldn’t tell anyone about it and I wouldn’t watch Tegan & Sara videos just to see her, but my Sara fascination will surely last my whole life ;-)

God, she is simply just gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.

Report: New Development in Trey Hendrickson Contract Situation - Sports Illustrated

Also: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

I actually put images of her on many flyers I created when together with a friend I hosted a monthly punk rock club night as a DJ. One week before, we would plaster the city with homemade flyers.

Klara Deutschmann, German actress.

Trans athlete embraced as California track and field champion by peers while adult activists duel - San Francisco Chronicle

Those were all as a teenager.

Well, also because I liked the song. But yes, Azealia. Her eyes, her lips, her facial expressions.

Her eyes. Her style. Her voice.

Rock Icon, 78, Hauled Off Stage in Jaw-Dropping Concert Farewell - Yahoo

And: I have always hated watching football and having female friends comment on which players they find attractive. But … I have to admit that when watching sports, me too, I secretly do pay attention to whom I find pretty … Perhaps that is normal. Anyway, it’s just a little “crush” during the game.

I watched a few films with her just because I wanted to see her. Here a more recent picture, from when she was 51:

Gorgeous. And I love her voice. And she seems to be such an amazing person. She lives in an ecohouse she built herself in some small beach town in Brazil (I saw an interview on YouTube).

Why wasn't Queen as successful in America as in other countries? Then, after Radio Ga Ga, they couldn't even get into the top 40 in America even when these songs were top 10 hits everywhere else in the world.

(Klara Bühl, German football player, also seems to be a really cool and adorable person)

Carolyn Lilipaly

But there’s another aspect, I can also find someone physically attractive. In that respect, among other, I have a thing for plus-size women. And when thinking about it: How many famous actresses would classify as plus size? I cannot think of any right now. I am sure I would have had a crush on a plus-size actress. But there do not seem to be any. At least not a lot, for sure. Which is a bit unfair, I have to say. A bit discriminating. TV and films should show more plus size women.

I see ugly guys dating gorgeous, "hot" women all the time. I, too, am not very attractive but I'm not doing well with the ladies. What's their secret?

Polly is just great. You can only admire her as a person and as an artist. She always stays relevant.

Carrie Brownstein. Same here, I admire her to this day for who she is and what she does. And will always do. And also: My God is she pretty. I’ll always have a celebrity crush on her.

If I ever have a daughter, she will have to watch this at some point:

What are your thoughts about Hulk Hogan at the Republican National Convention in support of Trump and ripping his shirt off? Did he exaggerate?

And watch The Petko Dance:

And Fiona Apple. Such a good artist. And: Her eyes…!

Ashleigh Johnson, water polo:

Is it possible that my TF caused a kundalini awakening in another person? He is famous because He is a singer. We have not met physically yet, but I have gone through kundalini awakening and DNOTS and their ongoing. I have also had soul recognition so I know for sure that He is my Divine Counterpart and I do not have any doubts about it. But it is indeed perplexing that somebody had an awakening at the physical level because of Him. Is it a test for me? I have a mixture of feelings. On one hand I marvelled at Him and empathised with the person and on the other, I doubt if this just a test for me. I would appreciate your pov. Thank you for much.

And I must have watched that “212” video by Azealia Banks 10–15 times, for sure.

I mean, first of all, I love the band. I saw them opening up for Ryan Adams in Philadelphia in 2002. And I was impressed with their music, immediately bought their album If It Was You at the concert.

First row and Nina Gordon (my friend’s favourite) and Louise Post took off their shirts and played the encore in their bras. Oh boy!

Vel expedita omnis impedit modi earum itaque ut.

Right, I also had a Jewel Kilcher poster (which I thought was OK to have because I liked the music as well). First album period. Before her style changed more to glamourous. It was this song and the video to it that got me.

Sophie Verbeeck, Belgian actress and singer:

My very first concert as a teenager was also Veruca Salt then, in Hamburg. Them opening up for Dinosaur Jr. Me and my friend were so impressed that we actually missed Dinosaur Jr. …

What is the potential for "future generative AI software that are like Open AI's Sora" to be fed half-a-page-long "text prompts" to generate fan videos that have "characters, environments, &/or etc" from favorite TV shows, Series, &/or Movies/Films?

(Paula Beer, German actress)

To this day, I would count it among my top 20 favourite albums. I saw them again in Sweden then.

And yes, she does awesome air kicks and the windmill (the Pete Townshend stage move).

Wow.

Seems like I, when watching sports, always find an athlete I find very pretty, where I am waiting for the camera to show her. It’s stupid but it’s true.

Liv Lisa Fries, German actress

Zia McCabe

The first one, as a teenager, was Sophie Marceau. Perhaps my biggest celebrity crush. Seing the two “La Boum” films when I was 13. She was 13 in the first film as well.

Almuth Schult, German football goalkeeper and TV expert:

(Meike Droste, German actress)

I had that for the first time as a teenager with Mary Joe Fernandez

This album cover by her former band also fascinated me:

Shirley Manson

Another video where when it came on, I just needed to sit and watch her and admire her.

Itsaso Arana, Spanish actress

PJ Harvey. Just like many of the others here, I admire her as a person and artist.

A force of nature.

I have found myself not only liking her analysis and her charming ways but also finding her really attractive.

Then: Louise Post (to the right):

Kim Kulig, a former German football player.

I had the following on VHS back then. She was just raw and fierce. Pantyhose, boots, no bra.

Brody Dalle:

Edina Gangl (water polo):

(Leonie Benesch, German actress)

Right, some MTV UK VJanes during the 90s.

But Sara… Gorgeous. And I so love the sound of her voice.

First of all, for me, per definition, “celebrity crush” means a person I find to be very attractive and I can’t stop watching because I find them very beautiful. I don’t mean an obsession. I never had that. Even as a teenager, I could only have that in real life. A real crush. Permanently thinking about someone. Celebrities were never “real” for me in that sense. And hey, as you will see, there are a lot that have fascinated me, more or less (whereas in real life, it hasn’t been very many). But always just when I was seeing them (or, with singers, also listening to them). So, that’s my definition of celebrity crush.

Starting with: Sara Quin.

Sinéad O’ Connor

(Alli Neumann, German actress and singer)

Gotta love her as a person as well.

I had seen this video on MTV Alternative Nation. Not only did I love the song and went to buy the album the next day, I also immediately was focused on Louise Post. I loved Nina as well, but it was Louise.

Then also young Lisa Bonet. I liked The Cosby Show, but I could also not get enough of seeing her.

I’ve read some not so nice things about her though. I’d rather not know more and keep her songs I like in mind. And this video ;-)

Andreya Casablanca, German musician (Gurr):

And check more YouTube videos. This one, from 2:27: I could watch again and again and again (I don’t, but I would enjoy it).

Um, yeah …

I remember having a discussion, one night out when I was 20. Me, my two best friends and the girl I was in love with (but never told her), who had started studying dentistry. She said “teeth gaps are awful, I cannot look at that!”. Me and both of my friends: “Vanessa Paradis!! Sorry, she’s only complete with tooth gap, and very pretty.”

Shirley, to me, while also a really likeable and cool person, it seems (from interviews), was one thing above all: SEXY.

Right, Nora Tschirner, actress and former MTV host:

Shaved head, boots. Fierce.

Back then I have to admit I watched a few of her games only to see her. I liked watching tennis and played myself. But with Mary Joe Fernandez, I more wanted to see her.

(above she has a striking resemblence to German actress Nora Tschirner, another little crush when she was an MTV host)

Wanda Perdelwitz, German actress:

Just to know that if she wanted to do something like that, she should.

And, yes, the Aerosmith videos… Alicia Silverstone.

Jasmin Tabatabai (German actress)

P.S. An interesting thing. In real life, superficially, it’s faces for me. Eyes. And faces. Although I don’t believe that eyes is a superficial thing, actually.

Here it was just the music videos. “Not If You Were The Last Junkie on Earth”: You do not even see her that much, on keyboards and tambourine. But every time the video came on, I had to watch, I was waiting for those moments. Wow. It wasn’t more than that though, really.

Ekaterina Gamova (volleyball):

Susanne Bormann (German actress)

Nicolette Krebitz (German actress)

“Cool as Kim Deal” is a song by The Dandy Warhols. Yes, yes, yes!

I do find this topic interesting, browsing through others’ posts. It really shows one thing: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There is no general standard, really. It’s individual. And that’s quite nice, isn’t it?

And the short hair. And the style. And coolness.

And after that, here some more women I found and find super attractive.

Some examples:

And they are both just lovely and funny (and very pretty). Gotta love both of them.

Sharleen Spiteri. Wow.

Also, Melanie Blatt and Shaznay Lewis of All Saints, in the end of the 90s. That “Black Coffee” video.

And yeah, in more recent years, I still have this, when watching TV or music videos, that I then find someone super pretty and just enjoy watching them. Their faces, their facial expressions.

(from 30:40 on)

Incredibly pretty.

And nowadays I still have this thing when watching sports. Athletes I like to see. I can easily name a few I find very pretty, whom I like to see:

Just watch a few seconds here:

Right, and a few years ago, I watched the Martha & The Muffins’ video “Echo Beach” and was really fascinated by the blonde keyboard player, Martha Ladly.

(The reason why I watched Heartbreak High)

So, this one developed into a really big post, way too much. But I felt like writing this down. If not for anyone else, it’s interesting for me to reflect on this.

Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Gorgeous. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. So my type, looks-wise. So reminding me of a big love in my life, who looks-wise would be in between Shelley Duvall and Fiona Apple, and whom, of course, I admire in a different way because I actually know her ;-)

Seems to me I do not stop having small secret celebrity crushes.

Bélén Vosseberg (water polo):

Kim Deal

“Bow down to me”

Milena Tscharntke, German actress:

Well, actresses as well, of course:

She was really a teenage crush. I had the films on VHS. And I saw as many other films with her as I could. All secretly, I did not want my sisters or anyone else to notice ;-) Would have been uncool, I thought. So no posters or stuff. Interestingly, my first real life big big crush (for 4 years, without trying anything) looked very similar.

“Lick my legs and I’m on fire…” And that interview afterwards.

Andrea Petkovic, a former German tennis player. Funny, charming, smart, nice, very beautiful.

Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

But well, that’s it from me. Yes, I am quite fascinated with female beauty. Mostly, it’s the eyes, definitely. The eyes and the face. But it’s even more fascinating when personality fascinates you as well. That’s the real deal. In real life. And on TV or in videos, you can just admire looks and personality. Without anyone knowing, for my part ;-) I would only share this here, where I am anonymous.

Aylin Tezel, German actress.

Vanessa Paradis

Miriam Stein, Swiss-Austrian actress

Her eyes. Her facial expressions. Her style. "The girl who looks boyish is the intelligent boy's choice," she once said, explaining her short hair.
