Zia McCabe

Milena Tscharntke, German actress:

What do teens do at night?

Andreya Casablanca, German musician (Gurr):

Karen O

Liv Lisa Fries, German actress

Why did my ex move on so quickly?

(MTV days)

Cat Deeley

Jennifer Love Hewitt.

So I’m getting piano lessons and my teacher wants me to get an upright piano instead of a keyboard. An upright piano is way above my price range, so what do I do? And what’s the difference between an upright piano and a keyboard?

Some examples:

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 ;-)

Brody Dalle:

Does the interpretation of the Book of בראשית create in all generations the Chosen Cohen People יש מאין?

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

Wanda Perdelwitz, German actress:

Almuth Schult, German football goalkeeper and TV expert:

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

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

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

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

Then: Louise Post (to the right):

Well, actresses as well, of course:

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

Why do liberals and Democrats think it’s “ironic” for Donald Trump to say “We have to get back to law and order”?

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

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.

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

What was your worst experience while living with roommates?

Altogether: Her style and her attitude. Wow.

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

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

Have you ever been instructed/forced to crossdress for the benefit of others?

“Ey, man!!!” (in that voice)

Starting with: Sara Quin.

Wow.

Would you date/marry a guy younger than you? If no, why not?

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).

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.

(more recent)

How can I navigate a romantic relationship as a trans person, and what are some common challenges that I might face?

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.

(Paula Beer, German actress)

Those were all as a teenager.

Is there such a thing as "left wing fascism"? If not, what is an example of a political ideology that is often mistakenly labeled as "left wing fascism"?

Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

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 ;-)

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

Britta Hammelstein, German actress:

This album cover by her former band also fascinated me:

What do you think of Obito Uchiha?

Sophie Verbeeck, Belgian actress and singer:

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…”).

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.

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?

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. …

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.

(Leonie Benesch, German actress)

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.

Shirley Manson

Carolyn Lilipaly

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.

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.

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.”

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

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.

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

Um, yeah …

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:

Gotta love her as a person as well.

Bélén Vosseberg (water polo):

A force of nature.

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

Klara Deutschmann, German actress.

Edina Gangl (water polo):

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.

(from 30:40 on)

Sharleen Spiteri. Wow.

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

Jasmin Tabatabai (German actress)

“Bow down to me”

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

Aylin Tezel, German actress.

Shaved head, boots. Fierce.

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

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.

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.

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 ;-)

Kim Deal

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

This video:

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

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

And Justine Frischmann:

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

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.

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!

Nicolette Krebitz (German actress)

Kim Kulig, a former German football player.

(The reason why I watched Heartbreak High)

(Alli Neumann, German actress and singer)

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.

Then the second film, where she was 15:

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

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

Susanne Bormann (German actress)

Incredibly pretty.

Sinéad O’ Connor

Ekaterina Gamova (volleyball):

And, yes, the Aerosmith videos… Alicia Silverstone.

Right, some MTV UK VJanes during the 90s.

And watch The Petko Dance:

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.

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

Right, Nora Tschirner, actress and former MTV host:

Ashleigh Johnson, water polo:

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

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.

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.

Lovefoxxx

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.

Just watch a few seconds here:

“I’ll feed your obsession”

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

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.

Her eyes. Her style. Her voice.

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

(Meike Droste, 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).

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

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

Abi Tucker

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

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.

Miriam Stein, Swiss-Austrian actress

(Cortnee Vine, Asutralian football player)

Also: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

Still so pretty:

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.

I had to google pictures.
