Who's your celebrity crush?

Right, some MTV UK VJanes during the 90s.

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

(Meike Droste, German actress)

How can I control my daily masturbating habit?

And, yes, the Aerosmith videos… Alicia Silverstone.

Miriam Stein, Swiss-Austrian actress

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

What are the pros and cons of banning homosexuality?

Britta Hammelstein, German actress:

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 watch The Petko Dance:

Can you turn 150 pages into a 5 minute presentation before a meeting?

And Justine Frischmann:

Then the second film, where she was 15:

Susanne Bormann (German actress)

Where do high school kids get weed from?

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…”).

Nicolette Krebitz (German actress)

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

What is the most inappropriate thing your wife has done in front of you?

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.

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.

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.

To a flat Earther, what's wrong with the idea that gravity is simply a force inherent to space which operates only in one dimension? Why do they go further and try to deny gravity rather than just saying it's different than physicists claim?

Then: Louise Post (to the right):

(Leonie Benesch, German actress)

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.

What’s a historical event you wish more people talked about?

Edina Gangl (water polo):

Carolyn Lilipaly

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

The stage is set for Sunday drama at the US Open as Sam Burns leads Adam Scott and J.J. Spaun by one stroke - CNN

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.

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.

Just watch a few seconds here:

Why should you never do drugs? Will this story absolutely shock you?

Incredibly pretty.

Still so pretty:

Ekaterina Gamova (volleyball):

What are the signs that a guy wants to marry you but is afraid of commitment or does not want to get married at all?

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.

Altogether: Her style and her attitude. Wow.

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

How is cultural invasion being carried out by Bollywood?

Some examples:

(The reason why I watched Heartbreak High)

Abi Tucker

Also: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

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

Klara Deutschmann, German actress.

Cat Deeley

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

Itsaso Arana, Spanish 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).

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 ;-)

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.

Well, actresses as well, of course:

(more recent)

“Ey, man!!!” (in that voice)

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

Vanessa Paradis

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 ;-)

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

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.”

Right, Nora Tschirner, actress and former MTV host:

Bélén Vosseberg (water polo):

Shirley Manson

Gotta love her as a person as well.

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

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 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.

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

Shaved head, boots. Fierce.

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.

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.

Wow.

(Paula Beer, German actress)

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

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

Jasmin Tabatabai (German actress)

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

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

Um, yeah …

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.

(MTV days)

Lovefoxxx

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

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

Karen O

Kim Deal

Wanda Perdelwitz, German actress:

(Alli Neumann, German actress and singer)

Ashleigh Johnson, water polo:

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.

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

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

Her eyes. Her style. Her voice.

This album cover by her former band also fascinated me:

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

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.

Liv Lisa Fries, German actress

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

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

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

Sophie Verbeeck, Belgian actress and singer:

(from 30:40 on)

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).

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: 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.

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

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

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

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.

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!

Almuth Schult, German football goalkeeper and TV expert:

Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

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

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.

A force of nature.

Andreya Casablanca, German musician (Gurr):

(Cortnee Vine, Asutralian football player)

Brody Dalle:

Sharleen Spiteri. Wow.

Starting with: Sara Quin.

Sinéad O’ Connor

I had to google pictures.

“I’ll feed your obsession”

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

This video:

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?

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:

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.

Zia McCabe

“Bow down to me”

Kim Kulig, a former German football player.

Milena Tscharntke, German actress:

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.

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

Aylin Tezel, German actress.

Those were all as a teenager.

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.

Jennifer Love Hewitt.
