Who's your celebrity crush?

(Paula Beer, German actress)

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

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

What is your craziest/worst Halloween story?

Cat Deeley

Zia McCabe

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

Has your wife or girlfriend ever been felt up in public by a stranger?

Vanessa Paradis

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

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?

How do people move on so quickly? I’m still sprung over someone I was dating and he found someone else so fast. I feel hurt because I’m still head over heels over him while he’s out enjoying his life with someone new

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

“Ey, man!!!” (in that voice)

Those were all as a teenager.

Why do many people think that Japan is not a gay-friendly country whereas 72% Japanese support same-sex marriage (the same number as in the US)?

Shaved head, boots. Fierce.

Wow.

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.

What are the signs of mild autism in a child?

Itsaso Arana, Spanish actress

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

Sharleen Spiteri. Wow.

Why do some people believe that Homelander would be no match for Superman or Thor?

Then the second film, where she was 15:

A force of nature.

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:

Romania in the past was a poor country, but last year the government announced it had 521 billion leu (113$ billion dollars) revenue. Why is so much? What's the reason?

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

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 ;-)

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.

Have anyone had an relationship of any kind with a spirit or demon, such as a succubus? If so, how was it?

Starting with: Sara Quin.

Wanda Perdelwitz, 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).

What are some reasons why men may not want to date a woman who can pay her own bills?

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

Milena Tscharntke, German actress:

Brody Dalle:

What are some creepy bestiality-promoting questions obviously asked for sexual gratification?

“I’ll feed your obsession”

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.

Ashleigh Johnson, water polo:

How do I run away? I'm 15 and live in Oklahoma.

I had to google pictures.

And Justine Frischmann:

(Meike Droste, German actress)

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

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.

Just watch a few seconds here:

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.

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.

Lovefoxxx

Right, some MTV UK VJanes during the 90s.

And, yes, the Aerosmith videos… Alicia Silverstone.

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

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

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.

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

Bélén Vosseberg (water polo):

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

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.

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.

Some examples:

Um, yeah …

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

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

Ekaterina Gamova (volleyball):

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!

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.

Aylin Tezel, 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.

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.

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.

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

And watch The Petko Dance:

Altogether: Her style and her attitude. Wow.

(MTV days)

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…”).

This album cover by her former band also fascinated me:

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

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

Jasmin Tabatabai (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.

Her eyes. Her style. Her voice.

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.

Then: Louise Post (to the right):

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.

Britta Hammelstein, German actress:

(from 30:40 on)

Karen O

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

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 ;-)

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

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.

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

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.

Still so pretty:

Susanne Bormann (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 ;-)

Gotta love her as a person as well.

Sinéad O’ Connor

Shirley Manson

Almuth Schult, German football goalkeeper and TV expert:

“Bow down to me”

Nicolette Krebitz (German actress)

Edina Gangl (water polo):

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

Kim Deal

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.

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.

This video:

Andreya Casablanca, German musician (Gurr):

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

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

(Leonie Benesch, German actress)

Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

(more recent)

(Alli Neumann, German actress and singer)

Klara Deutschmann, German actress.

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).

Carolyn Lilipaly

(Cortnee Vine, Asutralian football player)

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

(The reason why I watched Heartbreak High)

Jennifer Love Hewitt.

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

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

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. …

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

Sophie Verbeeck, Belgian actress and singer:

Kim Kulig, a former German football player.

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

Miriam Stein, Swiss-Austrian actress

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.

Incredibly pretty.

Also: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

Abi Tucker

Liv Lisa Fries, German actress

Well, actresses as well, of course:

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