After revealing my first concert of Rick Springfield, I was talking to a friend and made it clear that he was my MUSIC crush. My ACTOR crush was the one and only, C. Thomas Howell (know why he has a C? Because there was another actor named Tom Howell. The more you know). That's right, Ponyboy from The Outsiders. I got him, ya know? Anyway, much to my chagrin, I even wrote him a letter and somehow finagled a stamp out of my mom to actually mail it. And while most of the letter is a blur (yay!) I do remember that I said if he were ever filming in my hometown, you can bet I'd be there watching. Why that didn't get him on the first plane to scout locations, I have no idea. He must have seen a pre-teen picture of me. Braces and perms were cool dammit! Focus: Teenage star crushes. Have any? Content in your taste or wondering what you were thinking? I know to this day whenever I see C. Thomas Howell in anything I do a "Hey! There's Tom!" I know he'd be okay with me calling him that. (He was an FBI agent in Psych and the crane operator in The Amazing Spiderman. You're welcome). I have to say, he's aged rather well.
My teenage crush was Tom Petty. I thought he had the dreamiest voice ever. Then at some point I got ahold of one of my sister's Tom Petty albums. He was sitting on a stool with his guitar and off to the side he had a doggie friend with one blue eye and one brown eye. Poof. And just like that, my crush was over. Bumps, but no humps cuz that man just ain't pretty.
Teen? Eh. I didn't have them. Not as a teen, really. As a KID I thought Michael J. Fox was made of magic. And Kenny Rogers.
Spoiler I can't be the only guy who rubbed one out during Designing Women. Edit: evidently, people actually did.
Dana Delaney, just because of that episode of Moonlighting. That was all well before your time, kids. But, if I hear the Isley Brothers, "This old heart of mine" today, I still get a boner. Damn, that scene.
I had two. The first was Jennifer Love Hewitt as she was the main reason I watched Heartbreakers 15 times. The second crush lasted all through high school. Buffy the Vampire Slayer was my favorite show until I watched The Sopranos. I don't care what anyone says. That show was brilliant and more original than 99% of the stuff ever put on television. More importantly, at least 10 minutes of each episode consisted of Buffy whipping ass, which was hot.
One of the cruelest jokes the devil ever pulled on us was putting Dana Delany's nude scenes in the same movie as a leather clad Rosie O'Donell. Exit To Eden is the only movie played on constant loop in all circles of hell. Focus: Sharon Stone. Everyone was into Pamela Anderson at the time, so I'd get weird looks mentioning the "old chick" who was 34ish at the time. Maybe it was the frank sexual talk in Basic Instinct, or the nudity, but even as a teen I knew there was something weirdly charged about that woman. She's a little evil, witchy, way smarter than you, and unattainable. I don't think she was acting too hard. God, she still holds some serious voodoo. What a fantastic creature. Next time I developed a "damn, that one" thing was not until Emma Watson hit about 17... when I was 26. I'll, uhh, go have a seat over there.
I had all three of these posters on the wall of my bedroom from ages 14 to 19 I had a really hard time finding this one so it's not the greatest, but you can't tell me in her day she wasn't a complete fox.
I know this was my late teens, but dam, did she ever set my teenage balls on fire. I think because of her, I had a thing for older women for quite some time. I remember back in middle school the question was Brittany or Christina. However, Sarah Michelle Gellar was stunning at that time. Spoiler And if no 80s child says this person, I'll be shocked to hell. Spoiler
Some might mock me for these, but I still think about them. (Especially the first one) Spoiler I just find her really attractive, and even her non-singing voice makes me attracted to her, I don't know why. So, yeah, Taylor Swift. Spoiler Olivia Munn is all-around funny, and Attack of the Show went to hell slowly after she left it. And of course, there's now no G4 anymore. Spoiler Olivia Wilde is amazing-looking, to me. Also, excellent actress in my opinion. Spoiler People love to mock Emma Stone's voice for its huskiness, but I kind of have to admit it's not a *bad* tone to it.
So you're still currently a teenager? Focus: I had the hots for Indecent Proposal/Disclosure era Demi Moore. Shit you didn't even get to see TIT in Disclosure and it was still damn hot. Still one of the best PG-13 sex scenes ever. I still love how they had the slave girl masturbate with a candle in The Scarlet Letter she did. She had a slew of erotic thrillers about the time Sharon Stone did. Not surprisingly both appear to be bat shit insane. Spoiler
The real reason I kept making my parents hire The Mask over and over: Spoiler That white tape bikini thing blew my 9 year old mind: Spoiler Probably also that way she said "multipass". Always watched this when I got home from school: Spoiler
I remember when I first started using our dial-up AOL, it didn't really occur to me that there might be sexy photos online. Then, one day, a news headline indicated the latest Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition was out on shelves. So I typed "bikini" into the search bar and never looked back. Spoiler Stephanie Symour
