Who's your celebrity crush?

Almuth Schult, German football goalkeeper and TV expert:

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.

Still so pretty:

Why does my ex boyfriend do this?

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.

Ekaterina Gamova (volleyball):

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

What would TERFs do if there weren't such a thing as being transgender? Who would be their target?

Vanessa Paradis

Then the second film, where she was 15:

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

Is Tinder the best dating app?

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. …

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

Observations from Titans Minicamp on Wednesday - Tennessee Titans

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.

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

And, yes, the Aerosmith videos… Alicia Silverstone.

Do you think a lot of sociopaths' parents kill themselves for having brought such disgusting evil into the world? How much shame and disgust must they carry?

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

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

(Cortnee Vine, Asutralian football player)

Having read so much about Archie and Lilibet not actually existing, does anyone have any proof that they not only exist but that Meghan gave birth to them?

Edina Gangl (water polo):

Kim Kulig, a former German football player.

Wanda Perdelwitz, German actress:

What are the best mattress options for a comfortable night's sleep in Pompano Beach?

A force of nature.

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.

Just watch a few seconds here:

What are the pros and cons of living in Male, Maldives?

And Justine Frischmann:

This album cover by her former band also fascinated me:

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.

Has a psychic ever made a crazy prediction that turned out to be true?

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.

Jennifer Love Hewitt.

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.

Is Replika conscious?

Cat Deeley

Also: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

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.

Are female judges more lenient than male ones?

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.

(from 30:40 on)

“Ey, man!!!” (in that voice)

Why did Britain steal Gibraltar from Spain?

(MTV days)

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).

Well, actresses as well, of course:

Did your siblings abuse you growing up? Not your parents, specifically your siblings, or other children in the household you were raised with.

Liv Lisa Fries, German actress

Abi Tucker

“I’ll feed your obsession”

(Leonie Benesch, German actress)

Then: Louise Post (to the right):

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

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

Susanne Bormann (German actress)

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.

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

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.

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.

Sinéad O’ Connor

“Bow down to me”

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

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

Karen O

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

Right, some MTV UK VJanes during the 90s.

Incredibly pretty.

(Meike Droste, German actress)

(Alli Neumann, German actress and singer)

Miriam Stein, Swiss-Austrian actress

Nicolette Krebitz (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 ;-)

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.

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

Right, Nora Tschirner, actress and former MTV host:

Shaved head, boots. Fierce.

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

Bélén Vosseberg (water polo):

Carolyn Lilipaly

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 ;-)

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

(Paula Beer, German actress)

I had to google pictures.

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:

Itsaso Arana, Spanish actress

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 Manson

Some examples:

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

Lovefoxxx

(The reason why I watched Heartbreak High)

Sophie Verbeeck, Belgian actress and singer:

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

“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)

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.

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 ;-)

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!

Andreya Casablanca, German musician (Gurr):

Starting with: Sara Quin.

Gotta love her as a person as well.

Kim Deal

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

Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

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.

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.

Ashleigh Johnson, water polo:

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…”).

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

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.

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

Sharleen Spiteri. Wow.

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

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.

Aylin Tezel, German actress.

Milena Tscharntke, German actress:

Klara Deutschmann, German actress.

Her eyes. Her style. Her voice.

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

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).

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

Brody Dalle:

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

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.

Zia McCabe

This video:

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

Britta Hammelstein, German actress:

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

And watch The Petko Dance:

Jasmin Tabatabai (German actress)

Um, yeah …

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.

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?

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.

Those were all as a teenager.

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