Who's your celebrity crush?

(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.

Britta Hammelstein, German actress:

Why can't we send flat Earthers to space and show them the shape of Earth?

Um, yeah …

(MTV days)

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

Ekaterina Gamova (volleyball):

Susanne Bormann (German actress)

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

I am glad you enjoyed my pictures. Do you have any photos to share?

Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

Some examples:

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

Is it true that schizophrenia can sometimes be a demonic attack or black magic?

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

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

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).

Miriam Stein, Swiss-Austrian 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.

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

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 ;-)

Sharleen Spiteri. Wow.

What is your favourite summer outfit? Why?

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…”).

Wanda Perdelwitz, German actress:

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.

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

Still so pretty:

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 ;-)

Why does Islam give a bad vibe?

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

(from 30:40 on)

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:

Pokémon Go Serene Retreat Collection Challenges and rewards - Eurogamer

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.

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?

Then the second film, where she was 15:

Why do unattractive men assume that a pretty woman like me want them?

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

Her eyes. Her style. Her voice.

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).

Sinéad O’ Connor

Carolyn Lilipaly

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

Why do people love to live alone in a house?

Edina Gangl (water polo):

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

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. …

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

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 ;-)

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.

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

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

Cat Deeley

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

Aylin Tezel, German actress.

(Meike Droste, German actress)

A force of nature.

(Leonie Benesch, German actress)

Well, actresses as well, of course:

I had to google pictures.

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.

Andreya Casablanca, German musician (Gurr):

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.

Altogether: Her style and her attitude. Wow.

“Bow down to me”

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.

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.

Bélén Vosseberg (water polo):

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

(more recent)

Jennifer Love Hewitt.

And, yes, the Aerosmith videos… Alicia Silverstone.

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

(Paula Beer, German actress)

Shirley Manson

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

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

Wow.

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

Itsaso Arana, Spanish actress

Starting with: Sara Quin.

Right, Nora Tschirner, actress and former MTV host:

Incredibly pretty.

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.

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.”

Ashleigh Johnson, water polo:

Shaved head, boots. Fierce.

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.

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.

(The reason why I watched Heartbreak High)

Milena Tscharntke, German actress:

Liv Lisa Fries, German actress

“Ey, man!!!” (in that voice)

Just watch a few seconds here:

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

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

(Cortnee Vine, Asutralian football player)

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

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.

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.

Kim Deal

Jasmin Tabatabai (German actress)

Also: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

Lovefoxxx

Almuth Schult, German football goalkeeper and TV expert:

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

And watch The Petko Dance:

Right, some MTV UK VJanes during the 90s.

Those were all as a teenager.

And Justine Frischmann:

Sophie Verbeeck, Belgian actress and singer:

This album cover by her former band also fascinated me:

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!

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.

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.

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

Klara Deutschmann, German actress.

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.

Vanessa Paradis

Then: Louise Post (to the right):

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

“I’ll feed your obsession”

Brody Dalle:

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

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

Kim Kulig, a former German football player.

This video:

Zia McCabe

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.

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

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

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.

Nicolette Krebitz (German actress)

Gotta love her as a person as well.
