Who's your celebrity crush?

Right, some MTV UK VJanes during the 90s.

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

Nicolette Krebitz (German actress)

Is using an ambulance really free in countries with universal healthcare, or are there hidden costs like deductibles that people should know about?

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

Cat Deeley

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

How should you handle a situation where your friend tells you they like someone who also likes you? Should you tell them or continue as normal?

Then: Louise Post (to the right):

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.

Almuth Schult, German football goalkeeper and TV expert:

FIFA Club World Cup predictions: Who are tournament favorites? - MLSsoccer.com

Kim Kulig, a former German football player.

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

Karen O

Aaron Judge's 469-Foot Home Run in Kansas City Left Baseball World in Disbelief - Sports Illustrated

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

Incredibly pretty.

Susanne Bormann (German actress)

Why are black people harassed more by police officers?

Wow.

Miriam Stein, Swiss-Austrian actress

Kim Deal

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, 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.

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

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!

What have you learned from your parents' mistakes?

Those were all as a teenager.

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

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

How can one learn to talk frankly?

Jasmin Tabatabai (German actress)

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 ;-)

I had to google pictures.

Why do people believe that global warming is man made?

(The reason why I watched Heartbreak High)

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

Andreya Casablanca, German musician (Gurr):

Woman attacked by rabid cat in Lynchburg, health officials say - WSET

Aylin Tezel, German actress.

“Ey, man!!!” (in that voice)

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:

Why is Eric Clapton so roundly disliked among guitarists?

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.

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.

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.

Why won't Canada build their own fighter jet?

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.”

A force of nature.

Well, actresses as well, of course:

Why do a lot of autistic people not know how to style their hair?

Um, yeah …

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.

Still so pretty:

Scientists stunned as cameras capture footage of 200-million-year-old creature once thought extinct: 'The whole team was euphoric' - Yahoo

(more recent)

Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Altogether: Her style and her attitude. Wow.

Why do some people hesitate to say 'I love you' even after their partners have said it first? How can one interpret this behavior from their loved ones?

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 ;-)

Just watch a few seconds here:

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.

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

Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

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

Some examples:

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

This video:

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.

And Justine Frischmann:

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).

Lovefoxxx

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).

Sharleen Spiteri. Wow.

Sinéad O’ Connor

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

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.

Her eyes. Her style. Her voice.

Edina Gangl (water polo):

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.

(MTV days)

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

And, yes, the Aerosmith videos… Alicia Silverstone.

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.

Milena Tscharntke, German actress:

(Alli Neumann, German actress and singer)

(Cortnee Vine, Asutralian football player)

Starting with: Sara Quin.

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.

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.

Gotta love her as a person as well.

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.

And watch The Petko Dance:

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

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.

Itsaso Arana, Spanish actress

Ekaterina Gamova (volleyball):

“I’ll feed your obsession”

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

Brody Dalle:

Vanessa Paradis

(Meike Droste, German actress)

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

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

(Leonie Benesch, German actress)

Zia McCabe

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

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

Right, Nora Tschirner, actress and former MTV host:

Shirley Manson

Bélén Vosseberg (water polo):

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

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

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.

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

Liv Lisa Fries, German actress

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.

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

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.

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…”).

Ashleigh Johnson, water polo:

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.

Carolyn Lilipaly

Wanda Perdelwitz, German actress:

This album cover by her former band also fascinated me:

Britta Hammelstein, German actress:

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

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

Also: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

Then the second film, where she was 15:

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

Abi Tucker

(Paula Beer, German actress)

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?

Sophie Verbeeck, Belgian actress and singer:

“Bow down to me”

(from 30:40 on)

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. …

Klara Deutschmann, German actress.

Shaved head, boots. Fierce.

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.

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 ;-)

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

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

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.

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