Who's your celebrity crush?

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

Andreya Casablanca, German musician (Gurr):

Still so pretty:

What baseball stories from the early days of the sport seem too bizarre to be true?

And watch The Petko Dance:

(Leonie Benesch, German actress)

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.

Has a cop ever said something to you which was completely unexpected?

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

Edina Gangl (water polo):

This video:

Why am I peeing so much without drinking a lot of water? I checked my blood sugar and it is normal. Could it be something else?

Right, Nora Tschirner, actress and former MTV host:

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.

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

I told my 13-year-old daughter that she should never start a fight, but has my permission to end it. She got suspended for ending a fight that some other girl picked with her by hitting her then retreating. How do I handle the school’s response?

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.

Starting with: Sara Quin.

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).

Why won't biden give a last minute deferred action TO ALL undocumented immigrants so Trump can't deport them? Obama issued DACA, why can't Biden issue something similar that protects ALL undocumented immigrants from deportation?

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

Klara Deutschmann, German actress.

Abi Tucker

Is it okay to pay 12,000 SEK for rent 67m² furnished house for 2 people in Jönköping, Sweden? It also includes electricity, internet, heating, and water expenses.

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

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

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 ;-)

How does gut health affect mental well-being?

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.

Jennifer Love Hewitt.

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.

How conservative the Japanese people really is? And the government?

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.

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

Some examples:

How can a native English speaker say "it was nice talking to you" in French without using that exact phrase?

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.

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

Bélén Vosseberg (water polo):

If you caught a shoplifter at your yard sale, how would you handle it?

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, 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.

Um, yeah …

Why do guys have better skin than women even though women use more product?

Shaved head, boots. Fierce.

Altogether: Her style and her attitude. Wow.

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 did Donald Trump and Melania Trump sleep in different rooms?

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

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…”).

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

“Bow down to me”

Well, actresses as well, of course:

Brody Dalle:

Sinéad O’ Connor

Then: Louise Post (to the right):

Right, some MTV UK VJanes during the 90s.

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.

Milena Tscharntke, German actress:

Susanne Bormann (German actress)

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 ;-)

Carolyn Lilipaly

Those were all as a teenager.

Karen O

Shirley Manson

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

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

Almuth Schult, German football goalkeeper and TV expert:

(Cortnee Vine, Asutralian football player)

Aylin Tezel, German actress.

Wow.

Nicolette Krebitz (German actress)

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

And Justine Frischmann:

Gotta love her as a person as well.

Miriam Stein, Swiss-Austrian actress

(Meike Droste, German actress)

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

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 had to google pictures.

Britta Hammelstein, German actress:

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.

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

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

Her eyes. Her style. Her voice.

Zia McCabe

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 ;-)

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.

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

(MTV days)

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.

This album cover by her former band also fascinated me:

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

Ashleigh Johnson, water polo:

Itsaso Arana, Spanish actress

Kim Kulig, a former German football player.

Kim Deal

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

Ekaterina Gamova (volleyball):

A force of nature.

Cat Deeley

Incredibly pretty.

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. …

Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

Then the second film, where she was 15:

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.

Jasmin Tabatabai (German actress)

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

Sophie Verbeeck, Belgian actress and singer:

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).

(Alli Neumann, German actress and singer)

Just watch a few seconds here:

Wanda Perdelwitz, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

And, yes, the Aerosmith videos… Alicia Silverstone.

Liv Lisa Fries, German actress

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

“Ey, man!!!” (in that voice)

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

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

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.

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

Lovefoxxx

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

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?

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

Also: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

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.”

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

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)

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

(Paula Beer, German actress)

Vanessa Paradis

(more recent)

“I’ll feed your obsession”

Sharleen Spiteri. Wow.

(The reason why I watched Heartbreak High)
