Any type of crush at all for any reason at all. Do tell.
Well, those on actual girls I knew wouldn't be of much interest here. The women who bent my pubescent soul the hardest were Diana Rigg and Veronica Lake.

A blonde and a brunette? How open minded. ;D. Veronica Lake was before my time, but I remember Diana Rigg - a nice bit of stuff indeed.
This is from a series of compilations that feature soundalike recordings. At the age of eight or nine I was given this copy. Even then I kind of noticed something interesting about the woman on the cover. Years later I recognised her in the TV show 'Are you being served?' Her name is Penny Irving -

Anymore for anymore? Was there anyone who you crushed on because they seemed clever or insightful or inspiring?

Yeah, I remember her in that too. But a while back I happened to see a few minutes of a film I'd watched on numerous occasions, 'The Likely Lads' and realised for the first time that she was in it.

I had to search to find out who that is. ;D. Closest I ever got to having a superhero crush was Margot Kidder as Lois Lane. 8)
The actress name is Amy Jo Johnson. A lot of guys born in the mid 80s developed a crush on her at the height of Power Rangers mania in the mid 90s.
After I replied I realised she looked familiar. Then with you saying now about the time period it clicked into place, because there's another forum where I'd seen her before.
The real ones are more interesting to remember.
My first crush was this very pretty blonde girl named Maša, longhaired, skinny, with slightly slanting beautiful green eyes. I was about ten, she was maybe two years older then me. I met her on summer holiday on Hvar, in Dalmatia, our parents knew each other slightly. For three weeks I followed her around like a puppy, non-stop. It was so obvious that I was teased by everyone about her for next two years at least. She grew up to be rather famous presenter on Serbian TV, but we never met after that holiday.
My second big crush was girl called Tatiana, Tanya for short. I was 13-14 and she was a year older than me. Our parents were friends, but not that close friends and they lived across the city, so I'd see her maybe couple of times a year, at birthdays or such. She was very beautiful, dark haired, pale, with circles around her eyes even as a teen, seemed serious and old for her age. Used to call me 'her little sister', as I had a long hair when I was 13-14, just to tease and annoy me. But she was trouble, big trouble. Self destructive, at fifteen in a fit of rage stabbed her dad with a kitchen knife, had a serious drug problem, string of boyfriends from bad to worse ... We lost touch, no idea what happened with her.
Never had a huge celebrity crush but in late 80s, early 90s when I was of crushable age I did fancy (thanks to Yugoslavian TV rather international programming) Sophie Marceau and Emanuelle Beart (pre duck lips) and Kathleen Turner and Winona Ryder. Today I still might have a slight crush on Kate Beckinsale.
Those are cool and interesting real life crushes indeed. Thanks for the descriptions. :)
And I was with a Tatiana for a few years, but in her case it was Tanika for short.
In real-life I can only remember one woman who was a crush, but not a real crush as such. I saw her and she saw me, but seconds later it was over and I never saw her again. :laugh: I was 20 years old but can remember everything about her like it was yesterday.
It's funny, I've a small number of memories I write down and storyboard that I return to. Those few seconds are one of them. :)
Debbie Harry. Duh. 8)

My first serious girlfriend fits the bill: National Honor Society: high school class valedictorian; a talented piano player; earned a doctorate in psychology. Of course the fact that she was also a cute blonde (at least I thought so) was part of the crush.

Good for both of you! In fact, I never had any pictures or anything else to purge. I was a late bloomer and never dated a girl until I was 26 and in graduate school.
I went out with a grad student twice, dated an undergraduate girl for a few months and thought she was the one (she told me she was NOT the one ;) while we are on the way to a performance of
Der Rosenkavalier at Ohio State), and then a few months after that,
Mrs. Cato came along! 8)

Guys, appreciate what you have at this forum. :-X
If this forum had more millennials or those younger (generation Zyklon is it?) this sort of thread would be deemed too riske and somewhat taboo. The ideological and cultural mores of millenials and those younger can be oppressive.
I guess my major celebrity crush was young Kurt Russell, in films such as The Computer wore Tennis Shoes:
(http://www.cinema52.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/ComputerWoreDexter.png)
Kurt Russell - I just had a look on Wikipedia and found he's on!y 67 years old. Goes to show how young he was when he started working.
Here's another set of crushes that were probably influential. ;D The thing is, it was a bit before my time, but because one of the dogs runs off at that beginning it was shown regularly on those outtakes shows at xmas. That was almost the only time we had a television so I got to see it often.

3) White (safe option)

The thing is, a woman like Kate Jackson is going to kind of almost pall when placed between those two (FWIW Jaclyn Smith even nowadays stands out [check her out - her features remain neat, delicate, relatively symmetrical ] and busts my chops ;D) But I look at that shot with pro eyes and believe it was built around their relative height and in this instance a mistake. Also, KJ has her eyes on camera axis - and that can be a powerful tool, although here there's a number of reasons that picture editors (*furrowed brow* ;D) aren't going to embrace it) But what do I know? I'm just a hack with a long lens. :laugh:
Re: the above post, no need to repeat the picture.
From left to eight, THE HAIR, for goodness' sake!
Interesting, two are wearing belts (that could make a comeback sometime) and the third obviously doesn't need one.
The middle lady can donate her shirt to her brother or son.
Are they praying? And if yes, to WHOM?
As for me growing up, I liked Dr. Kildare (whoops, that sort of pegs my era...)
I didn't really have a favorite Beatle, though.

Like Draško, I think my real crush is a more interesting story than posting pictures of TV stars. I had a crush on a girl for a good 8 or 9 years, starting in the fourth grade. It only grew more intense because my family moved to another state after 2 years, and we started corresponding by email. (This was the early days of the internet, so we used our parents' email boxes and "To (Name) from (Name)" in the subject line!) Distance proved very effective at adding to the mythology of her perfection in my mind - she was as smart as Sarge's crush (now works for a science education think tank), funny, a redhead, a very good writer of emails, also a good piano player...wait are Sarge and I the same person? Nah - the redhead thing.
Anyway, I visited her a few times and counted them as some of the most magical days of teenagerhood. She visited me in college and I tried to lure her into attending the same school (she was a year behind).
And then I visited her at her home when we were adults, 25-year-olds. I was on vacation and agreed to stay on her couch for a night during my road trip.
Guys...I am not a clean guy. My girlfriend tells me when to clean my bathroom. But holy
shit. Never seen a house like hers before or since. The pillow she gave me for the night had brown and black spots. Before I slept on the couch, she had to move pizza boxes and empty Chinese takeout boxes around the coffee table so I would have a place to put my glasses. The table was covered with trash. So was the dining table. Her bathroom did not have towels. Her bathroom
did not have soap.
She expressly forbade me from looking at her bedroom.
During that day, as I gingerly moved empty boxes or asked for soap, she never once apologized or gave any hint that something might be different, or weird.
That crush died
hard.
This one is easy.
Seven of Nine and Kelly Bundy.
Followed by my fifth grade teacher and my 10th grade English teacher.

Sounds like this Friends' episode ;D Ross dates an intelligent woman who unapologetically lives in a mess:

...Followed by my fifth grade teacher...
I had a crush on my 5th Grade teacher too. It was her first year teaching so she must've been 22 or 23. A couple of friends shared my obsession with this teacher. We often found excuses to show up at her apartment after school. She was gracious...usually...and gave us milk and cookies. Here's the class picture. I'm in the first row, fourth from the left in the dark shirt.

She is the tall gal on the right? Even from this picture you can tell she is lanky and pretty. Funny you said you guys hang out where she lived. Had you been 8-10 yrs older she probably would have called the police instead of feeding you.

As for me growing up, I liked Dr. Kildare (whoops, that sort of pegs my era...)
I didn't really have a favorite Beatle, though.
Richard Chamberlain competed against
Vince Edwards (Dr. Ben Casey), who wins, because his mentor was Dr. Zorba (the great

Hahaha ... I have to admit that minor questions like psychotic behavior or indeed questionable ideas about hygiene never really were much of a deterrence for me. :o :-[
When I was 10 years old, I had a huge crush on the actress Patty McCormack. She was also 10 years old and was from Brooklyn as I was.
Now, many years later, I don't see what the attraction was! :D

The woman in the black. Even after all these years I still don't know her name and still don't care that I don't know her name.

Yeah, she's a nice piece of stuff (
he said, objectifying her as much as possible) and I always liked her eyes.

At 1:33 - I'm the guy who starts groping her derriere. ;D At 1:44 the blonde standing behind notices and hopes to receive the same treatment next. :laugh:

I was of the (original) Charlie's Angels generation, so:

(Wasn't much into Kate Jackson, though - at least not compared to the other two.)
I was also into Mork and Mindy's Pam Dawber ...

... and Dorothy Hamill.

Nice choices, all of them, even though I was one of those stubborn idiots who thought Cheryl Ladd was an improvement when she replaced Farah, despite all the scorn I received from die hard first hour Angel-lovers. In my early teenage 'approach', I found Cheryl far more huggable than Farah, and therefore more of an angel. ;)

But despite
Mayté Mateos perhaps possessing a more suitable hint of exotica, I'm afraid that
Ethel Gumperz has already become a name I've grown to become almost tenderly fond of. ;D

I think I'm gonna use that name for the main female character in my still to write novel which will make all other books and publications superfluous, including all Pl@yb0y Calendars (and threads like these).

I'm sure it is. :o But I believe that if your idea has value and integrity, you'll get the job done in fine style. :)
Having said that, if you do get writer's block I'd be happy to ghost write a section for you. 8) Maybe along the lines of 'How to steal Yvonne Craig from Barney Scarpia' or something? ;) ;D

Mmm... for the first chapter I'd have to dug up (in my memories, I'm afraid) the stories I wrote at age 11 or so, about the Swedish pop group ABBA getting lost and ending up in our town, where especially Agnetha needed some comforting et al.

At the tender age of 11, I preferred pictures of Agnetha's face... and, despite the fact that I aged a bit, I think I still do. 0:)
(Which, don't get me wrong, does not mean I have anything negative to say about her precious behind... au contraire.)
