And, yes, the Aerosmith videos… Alicia Silverstone.
With whatever haircut, even though I only give examples of a few here.
Abi Tucker
What do you think hell is like?
I had the following on VHS back then. She was just raw and fierce. Pantyhose, boots, no bra.
Miriam Stein, Swiss-Austrian actress
At the same time also: Anat Atzmon. The first Lemon Popsicle film.
Sinéad O’ Connor
(Cortnee Vine, Asutralian football player)
To this day, I would count it among my top 20 favourite albums. I saw them again in Sweden then.
Britta Hammelstein, German actress:
Seems to me I do not stop having small secret celebrity crushes.
Shirley Manson
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.
Starting with: Sara Quin.
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.
What discoveries in AI research have changed our understanding of intelligence evolution?
Just to know that if she wanted to do something like that, she should.
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.
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.
Would you let your partner cheat on you every now and again?
Sophie Verbeeck, Belgian actress and singer:
Kim Kulig, a former German football player.
Ekaterina Gamova (volleyball):
What misfortune led to an important discovery?
Susanne Bormann (German actress)
And Justine Frischmann:
Itsaso Arana, Spanish actress
What was your first trans experience like?
Aylin Tezel, German actress.
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).
Jasmin Tabatabai (German actress)
13 Cool New Gadgets to Keep on Your Radar - Gear Patrol
PJ Harvey. Just like many of the others here, I admire her as a person and artist.
Wow.
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.
Which country has the best and strictest legal system in the world?
Andrea Petkovic, a former German tennis player. Funny, charming, smart, nice, very beautiful.
Then: Louise Post (to the right):
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…”).
What are some creepy bestiality-promoting questions obviously asked for sexual gratification?
Those were all as a teenager.
Klara Deutschmann, German actress.
Almuth Schult, German football goalkeeper and TV expert:
How was your JEE Advanced 2024 result?
Zia McCabe
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 ;-)
Ashleigh Johnson, water polo:
Why are leftist movements so popular among young people?
Jennifer Love Hewitt.
(from 30:40 on)
“Lick my legs and I’m on fire…” And that interview afterwards.
What do you think about Matt Gatz as an attorney general?
Shirley, to me, while also a really likeable and cool person, it seems (from interviews), was one thing above all: SEXY.
And the short hair. And the style. And coolness.
Shaved head, boots. Fierce.
How do I run away? I'm 15 and live in Oklahoma.
Altogether: Her style and her attitude. Wow.
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.
Karen O
Bélén Vosseberg (water polo):
This video:
Then also young Lisa Bonet. I liked The Cosby Show, but I could also not get enough of seeing her.
(more recent)
“Cool as Kim Deal” is a song by The Dandy Warhols. Yes, yes, yes!
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.
And Fiona Apple. Such a good artist. And: Her eyes…!
I had to google pictures.
(Leonie Benesch, German actress)
“Ey, man!!!” (in that voice)
If I ever have a daughter, she will have to watch this at some point:
Milena Tscharntke, German actress:
Brody Dalle:
But Sara… Gorgeous. And I so love the sound of her voice.
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 ;-)
Well, also because I liked the song. But yes, Azealia. Her eyes, her lips, her facial expressions.
God, she is simply just gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.
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.”
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, some MTV UK VJanes during the 90s.
“Bow down to me”
(above she has a striking resemblence to German actress Nora Tschirner, another little crush when she was an MTV host)
(Paula Beer, German actress)
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.
Sharleen Spiteri. Wow.
And watch The Petko Dance:
And they are both just lovely and funny (and very pretty). Gotta love both of them.
Liv Lisa Fries, German actress
Also: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes
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.
Carolyn Lilipaly
(The reason why I watched Heartbreak High)
(Meike Droste, German actress)
Incredibly pretty.
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.
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.
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 ;-)
Still so pretty:
I had that for the first time as a teenager with Mary Joe Fernandez
Nicolette Krebitz (German actress)
Gotta love her as a person as well.
Cat Deeley
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.
Her eyes. Her style. Her voice.
Then the second film, where she was 15:
Lovefoxxx
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.
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 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.
And I must have watched that “212” video by Azealia Banks 10–15 times, for sure.
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.
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.
Edina Gangl (water polo):
“I’ll feed your obsession”
Just watch a few seconds here:
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)
I have found myself not only liking her analysis and her charming ways but also finding her really attractive.
Some examples:
This album cover by her former band also fascinated me:
Right, Nora Tschirner, actress and former MTV host:
Another video where when it came on, I just needed to sit and watch her and admire her.
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:
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.
Wanda Perdelwitz, German actress:
(Alli Neumann, German actress and singer)
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.
Well, actresses as well, of course:
And after that, here some more women I found and find super attractive.
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.
Kim Deal
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).
Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes
Andreya Casablanca, German musician (Gurr):
A force of nature.
Um, yeah …
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. …
(MTV days)
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.
And yes, she does awesome air kicks and the windmill (the Pete Townshend stage move).
Vanessa Paradis
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.
Polly is just great. You can only admire her as a person and as an artist. She always stays relevant.
Also, Melanie Blatt and Shaznay Lewis of All Saints, in the end of the 90s. That “Black Coffee” video.
