Who's your celebrity crush?

Carolyn Lilipaly

Lovefoxxx

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?

Did Leonardo da Vinci paint two Mona Lisas? Where are they?

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

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.

Susanne Bormann (German actress)

What is the difference between the Bible and the Qur'an?

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

(more recent)

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

What were Sauron's powers in The Lord of the Rings (LOTR)? Did he have any magic or anything like that?

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.”

Her eyes. Her style. Her voice.

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.

What do you do when your family doesn’t care about you?

Almuth Schult, German football goalkeeper and TV expert:

Then: Louise Post (to the right):

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

Are there legal obligations to report the known whereabouts of a missing person that doesn’t want to be found?

Still so pretty:

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

(The reason why I watched Heartbreak High)

Who has experienced what they called a happy accident (bestiality)?

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.

Wow.

Starting with: Sara Quin.

Pediatric flu deaths surge in Michigan: 'These are children' - The Detroit News

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

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

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

Overthinking is killing me day-by-day. What should I do?

(Cortnee Vine, Asutralian football player)

Altogether: Her style and her attitude. Wow.

Klara Deutschmann, German actress.

Could the guys here tell me how their first experience with a trans woman was? Who was the lady to you? ( I mean girlfriend, one night stand, etc.) I just had my first experience recently and I would like to know about others?

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. …

Abi Tucker

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

Why do I feel sleepy after massage?

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

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

Well, actresses as well, of course:

Why aren't U.S. prisons more like Marine Corps boot camp, were every second of the day there are mandatory activities so that at night everyone is so tired they go to sleep until wakeup at 5:30 am? Would this make prisons safer for all?

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

Aylin Tezel, German actress.

Shirley Manson

What was the most inappropriate thing your parent caught you doing as a teen? Was in the bedroom, I thought nobody else was home. My sister and I shared that bedroom but I knew she was gone. I didn’t know my dad was home though.

This video:

Ashleigh Johnson, water polo:

Jennifer Love Hewitt.

What made you stop being an addict?

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

Shaved head, boots. Fierce.

Bélén Vosseberg (water polo):

Al Pacino Meets Pope Leo XIV, Becoming First Movie Star to Get an Audience With American Pontiff - The Hollywood Reporter

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…”).

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.

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

Can you write a letter to your first love without mentioning his/her name?

Kim Kulig, a former German football player.

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.

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

Just watch a few seconds here:

Milena Tscharntke, German actress:

Gotta love her as a person as well.

Liv Lisa Fries, German actress

Edina Gangl (water polo):

Britta Hammelstein, German actress:

“Ey, man!!!” (in that 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.

Zia McCabe

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.

Jasmin Tabatabai (German actress)

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.

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

Sinéad O’ Connor

“Bow down to me”

(Paula Beer, German actress)

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

Miriam Stein, Swiss-Austrian actress

Incredibly pretty.

(MTV days)

Um, yeah …

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

And Justine Frischmann:

Then the second film, where she was 15:

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 ;-)

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.

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

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).

And, yes, the Aerosmith videos… Alicia Silverstone.

Itsaso Arana, Spanish actress

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.

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.

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.

Andreya Casablanca, German musician (Gurr):

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

Karen O

Some examples:

(Alli Neumann, German actress and singer)

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.

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

And watch The Petko Dance:

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:

(Meike Droste, German actress)

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!

Right, Nora Tschirner, actress and former MTV host:

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.

Vanessa Paradis

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

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 ;-)

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

(from 30:40 on)

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.

Cat Deeley

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.

“I’ll feed your obsession”

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

Nicolette Krebitz (German actress)

Those were all as a teenager.

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

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.

Ekaterina Gamova (volleyball):

Kim Deal

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

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.

Right, some MTV UK VJanes during the 90s.

Sharleen Spiteri. Wow.

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

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.

Wanda Perdelwitz, German actress:

A force of nature.

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

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.

Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

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

Also: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

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

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).

I had to google pictures.

Brody Dalle:

Sophie Verbeeck, Belgian actress and singer:

This album cover by her former band also fascinated me:

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 ;-)

(Leonie Benesch, German actress)

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.
