Who's your celebrity crush?

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.

Right, some MTV UK VJanes during the 90s.

Karen O

Eric Dane Shares Update on His ALS Diagnosis - The Cut

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.

Kim Kulig, a former German football player.

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

What are some of your shocking stories?

Then: Louise Post (to the right):

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

Susanne Bormann (German actress)

How can you tell if someone or someone's is trying to recruit or at least test you for a secret organization?

Gotta love her as a person as well.

Sinéad O’ Connor

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

Which race of women are the hottest?

Then the second film, where she was 15:

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

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.”

Kim Deal

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

Well, actresses as well, of course:

☆ what's the thing that made u fell in love with your bias?

“Bow down to me”

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.

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.

Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support. I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized. he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that. he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened. he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence. i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction. after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly. things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it. we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe … our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far? this has upset me so much its hard to even function.

Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

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.

Edina Gangl (water polo):

Why are you a Muslim? Why is it Islam for you and not something else?

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

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

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

Do airline pilots try to avoid turbulence? How can you tell if your flight has been rerouted due to weather conditions or other factors?

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:

Ashleigh Johnson, water polo:

This video:

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

Abi Tucker

“Ey, man!!!” (in that voice)

What was your worst experience while living with roommates?

(Leonie Benesch, German actress)

Right, Nora Tschirner, actress and former MTV host:

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?

Klara Deutschmann, German actress.

Sophie Verbeeck, Belgian actress and singer:

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

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

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.

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).

Zia McCabe

Also: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

Jennifer Love Hewitt.

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

Itsaso Arana, Spanish actress

This album cover by her former band also fascinated me:

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.

Andreya Casablanca, German musician (Gurr):

And watch The Petko Dance:

A force of nature.

Miriam Stein, Swiss-Austrian actress

Sharleen Spiteri. Wow.

“I’ll feed your obsession”

Incredibly pretty.

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.

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.

Lovefoxxx

(more recent)

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.

Almuth Schult, German football goalkeeper and TV expert:

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

Jasmin Tabatabai (German actress)

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

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 ;-)

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

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

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.

Some examples:

Liv Lisa Fries, German actress

(The reason why I watched Heartbreak High)

(Alli Neumann, German actress and singer)

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.

I had to google pictures.

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

Ekaterina Gamova (volleyball):

(from 30:40 on)

Altogether: Her style and her attitude. Wow.

Milena Tscharntke, German actress:

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!

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

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.

Bélén Vosseberg (water polo):

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

Nicolette Krebitz (German actress)

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.

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…”).

Her eyes. Her style. Her voice.

Um, yeah …

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).

Just watch a few seconds here:

Cat Deeley

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

Britta Hammelstein, German actress:

And, yes, the Aerosmith videos… Alicia Silverstone.

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.

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

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.

Carolyn Lilipaly

Vanessa Paradis

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.

Those were all as a teenager.

Brody Dalle:

(MTV days)

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

(Paula Beer, German actress)

(Meike Droste, German actress)

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.

Still so pretty:

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

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.

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

Shirley Manson

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

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

Shaved head, boots. Fierce.

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.

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

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

(Cortnee Vine, Asutralian football player)

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

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 ;-)

Wanda Perdelwitz, German actress:

And Justine Frischmann:

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 ;-)

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

Starting with: Sara Quin.

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. …

Wow.

Who's your celebrity crush?
