Who's your celebrity crush?

Andreya Casablanca, German musician (Gurr):

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

And watch The Petko Dance:

What's the most valuable lesson you've learned in life, and how has it impacted your journey so far?

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.

Altogether: Her style and her attitude. Wow.

Jennifer Love Hewitt.

What is the reason for the high number of stray dogs in Thailand? What measures are being taken to address this issue?

Cat Deeley

Shaved head, boots. Fierce.

Bélén Vosseberg (water polo):

What is the irony of life according to you?

(Paula Beer, German actress)

Almuth Schult, German football goalkeeper and TV expert:

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…”).

Why do narcissists and especially covert narcissists always play the victim?

(more recent)

Nicolette Krebitz (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!

Are vampires real?

Sharleen Spiteri. Wow.

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.

“Bow down to me”

How would you feel if your friend confided in you that she is cheating on her husband, knowing that he loves her deeply? What emotional and ethical considerations would you grapple with in response to her revelation?

Jasmin Tabatabai (German actress)

Sophie Verbeeck, Belgian actress and singer:

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.

Why did you put a guy’s dick in your mouth the first time?

Some examples:

Carolyn Lilipaly

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

Why do some people tell the girl I like that I don’t like her when I do like her?

Wow.

“Ey, man!!!” (in that voice)

Miriam Stein, Swiss-Austrian actress

How do professional musicians handle their equipment during gigs? Do they bring their own or use the venue's sound system?

Milena Tscharntke, German actress:

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.

Then the second film, where she was 15:

What is the reason behind some people referring to themselves as "nice guys" instead of simply being nice?

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.

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

Klara Deutschmann, German actress.

Why do flat-earth conspiracy theorists believe that photos from space, including those of satellites, are fake?

Well, actresses as well, of course:

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 ;-)

Right, Nora Tschirner, actress and former MTV host:

Are you more of a butt guy or a boob guy?

(from 30:40 on)

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.

Abi Tucker

Why does my girlfriend keep asking me if I love her?

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.”

Just watch a few seconds here:

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

Is it okay or problematic to be both Black and gay in society in the 21st century?

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.

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.

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

Brody Dalle:

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

Liv Lisa Fries, German actress

Um, yeah …

Ekaterina Gamova (volleyball):

(MTV days)

(The reason why I watched Heartbreak High)

(Leonie Benesch, German actress)

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 ;-)

Still so 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.

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.

Susanne Bormann (German actress)

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

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

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

I had to google pictures.

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. …

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

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

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

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).

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:

This album cover by her former band also fascinated me:

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

A force of nature.

Incredibly pretty.

Karen O

Vanessa Paradis

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.

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

Edina Gangl (water polo):

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

Zia McCabe

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.

Kim Kulig, a former German football player.

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

Her eyes. Her style. Her voice.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Starting with: Sara Quin.

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

(Cortnee Vine, Asutralian football player)

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.

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.

Gotta love her as a person as well.

Those were all as a teenager.

(Meike Droste, German actress)

Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Also: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

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

Kim Deal

And Justine Frischmann:

Shirley Manson

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

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?

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

Aylin Tezel, German actress.

This video:

(Alli Neumann, German actress and singer)

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.

Ashleigh Johnson, water polo:

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

Wanda Perdelwitz, German actress:

And, yes, the Aerosmith videos… Alicia Silverstone.

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.

Right, some MTV UK VJanes during the 90s.

Britta Hammelstein, German actress:

Sinéad O’ Connor

Then: Louise Post (to the right):

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

“I’ll feed your obsession”

Itsaso Arana, Spanish 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.

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