Who's your celebrity crush?

(Meike Droste, German actress)

Shirley Manson

Incredibly pretty.

What are some common examples of condescending behavior?

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

Then the second film, where she was 15:

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.

Kim Deal

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.

Edina Gangl (water polo):

Susanne Bormann (German actress)

Still so pretty:

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

I feel so attached and in love with a dead celebrity. My love for anyone else is overshadowed by my love for him. What does this mean?

Nicolette Krebitz (German actress)

Starting with: Sara Quin.

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.

Klara Deutschmann, German actress.

This album cover by her former band also fascinated me:

Right, Nora Tschirner, actress and former MTV host:

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.

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

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.

Milena Tscharntke, German actress:

Right, some MTV UK VJanes during the 90s.

Karen O

How do you deal with neighbors who are always telling you what to do?

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

Wow.

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

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

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.

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

What was your first gay male experience?

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’ll feed your obsession”

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.

Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support. I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized. he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that. he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened. he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence. i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction. after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly. things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it. we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe … our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far? this has upset me so much its hard to even function.

Knicks' Decision to Fire Tom Thibodeau Was Brewing For 'Months' - Sports Illustrated

Aylin Tezel, German actress.

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.

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

Um, yeah …

(Leonie Benesch, German actress)

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

Brody Dalle:

Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

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?

Wanda Perdelwitz, German actress:

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

(The reason why I watched Heartbreak High)

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 had to google pictures.

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

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:

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.

(Alli Neumann, German actress and singer)

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 ;-)

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.

Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Shaved head, boots. Fierce.

Jasmin Tabatabai (German actress)

A force of nature.

Also: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

(more recent)

Andreya Casablanca, German musician (Gurr):

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

Ashleigh Johnson, water polo:

Bélén Vosseberg (water polo):

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

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

Almuth Schult, German football goalkeeper and TV expert:

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.

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 ;-)

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.

Miriam Stein, Swiss-Austrian actress

(from 30:40 on)

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.

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

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

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

(Cortnee Vine, Asutralian football player)

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

This video:

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.

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 ;-)

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.”

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

Sharleen Spiteri. Wow.

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…”).

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

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.

Altogether: Her style and her attitude. Wow.

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!

“Bow down to me”

Liv Lisa Fries, German actress

Then: Louise Post (to the right):

Ekaterina Gamova (volleyball):

Gotta love her as a person as well.

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. …

Those were all as a teenager.

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 Justine Frischmann:

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.

Sophie Verbeeck, Belgian actress and singer:

“Ey, man!!!” (in that voice)

Zia McCabe

Kim Kulig, a former German football player.

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

Well, actresses as well, of course:

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

Britta Hammelstein, German actress:

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.

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

(MTV days)

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.

Abi Tucker

(Paula Beer, German actress)

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

And, yes, the Aerosmith videos… Alicia Silverstone.

Her eyes. Her style. Her voice.

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.

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

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

Just watch a few seconds here:

Sinéad O’ Connor

Itsaso Arana, Spanish actress

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

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

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

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.
