Who's your celebrity crush?

Incredibly pretty.

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

(Paula Beer, German actress)

Andreya Casablanca, German musician (Gurr):

Klara Deutschmann, German actress.

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

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).

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

Almuth Schult, German football goalkeeper and TV expert:

If James Bond is meant to be the best secret agent in the world, how come all the bad guys in the World seem to know who he is?

A force of nature.

Shirley Manson

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.

How did you get to be a leftist?

Cat Deeley

Britta Hammelstein, German actress:

Just watch a few seconds here:

Aut dolorem voluptates tempore maxime.

And watch The Petko Dance:

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.

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.

“Bow down to me”

And, yes, the Aerosmith videos… Alicia Silverstone.

Ekaterina Gamova (volleyball):

Wow.

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…”).

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.

What is price of the "liberal celebrities" e.g. Bill Maher, Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart, Trevor Noah, Jimmy Kimmel, Desi Lydic etc. to join the great MAGA movement like Stephen Colbert who wanted to European ambassadorship to turn back on "the Left"?

Bélén Vosseberg (water polo):

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.

Brody Dalle:

How do organic ready-to-eat meals compare to conventional ones?

“I’ll feed your obsession”

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

Miriam Stein, Swiss-Austrian 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.

(Alli Neumann, German actress and singer)

(from 30:40 on)

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).

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

Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

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

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.

Well, actresses as well, of course:

Sharleen Spiteri. Wow.

Some examples:

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, some MTV UK VJanes during the 90s.

(The reason why I watched Heartbreak High)

And Justine Frischmann:

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.

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

Susanne Bormann (German actress)

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 ;-)

Gotta love her as a person as well.

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!

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

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.

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.

(Leonie Benesch, German actress)

Carolyn Lilipaly

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.

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

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

Altogether: Her style and her attitude. Wow.

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

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

Her eyes. Her style. Her voice.

Still so pretty:

Kim Kulig, a former German football player.

Also: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

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

“Ey, man!!!” (in that voice)

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.

Those were all as a teenager.

Itsaso Arana, Spanish actress

Then: Louise Post (to the right):

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. …

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

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

(more recent)

Liv Lisa Fries, German actress

Shaved head, boots. Fierce.

Starting with: Sara Quin.

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.

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

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.

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.”

Aylin Tezel, German actress.

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

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

Zia McCabe

Right, Nora Tschirner, actress and former MTV host:

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

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.

Lovefoxxx

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

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

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

Jennifer Love Hewitt.

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.

Jasmin Tabatabai (German actress)

(MTV days)

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

I had to google pictures.

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.

Um, yeah …

This 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.

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

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.

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.

Wanda Perdelwitz, German actress:

Sophie Verbeeck, Belgian 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.

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

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:

Kim Deal

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

Ashleigh Johnson, water polo:

Edina Gangl (water polo):

Milena Tscharntke, German actress:

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

Abi Tucker

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

(Cortnee Vine, Asutralian football player)

(Meike Droste, 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 ;-)

Then the second film, where she was 15:

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

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

This album cover by her former band also fascinated me:

Sinéad O’ Connor
