Who's your celebrity crush?
Last Updated: 19.06.2025 00:59
Then the second film, where she was 15:
I had to google pictures.
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.
Why do a lot of autistic people not know how to style their hair?
Just to know that if she wanted to do something like that, she should.
I have found myself not only liking her analysis and her charming ways but also finding her really attractive.
I had that for the first time as a teenager with Mary Joe Fernandez
Starting with: Sara Quin.
(from 30:40 on)
Well, actresses as well, of course:
And Fiona Apple. Such a good artist. And: Her eyes…!
At the same time also: Anat Atzmon. The first Lemon Popsicle film.
“Ey, man!!!” (in that voice)
This decades-old Gmail trick is still my favorite email management hack - Android Police
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. …
Liv Lisa Fries, German actress
(above she has a striking resemblence to German actress Nora Tschirner, another little crush when she was an MTV host)
How do I get over a long-term relationship breakup?
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.
Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes
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…”).
What is the reason for the high rate of unmarried individuals in America, particularly among males?
Seems to me I do not stop having small secret celebrity crushes.
Kim Deal
If I ever have a daughter, she will have to watch this at some point:
The Aging Brain: 6 Things You Should Be Doing to Slow Cognitive Decline - CNET
Her eyes. Her style. Her voice.
PJ Harvey. Just like many of the others here, I admire her as a person and artist.
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.
(Cortnee Vine, Asutralian football player)
I had the following on VHS back then. She was just raw and fierce. Pantyhose, boots, no bra.
Some examples:
Cat Deeley
Just watch a few seconds here:
How can you know if they are your twin flame and not limerence or obsession?
Jennifer Love Hewitt.
“Cool as Kim Deal” is a song by The Dandy Warhols. Yes, yes, yes!
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.
Why are American women so ugly nowadays?
Shaved head, boots. Fierce.
And I must have watched that “212” video by Azealia Banks 10–15 times, for sure.
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.
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.
Also: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes
Right, Nora Tschirner, actress and former MTV host:
Britta Hammelstein, German actress:
Sinéad O’ Connor
Altogether: Her style and her attitude. Wow.
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.
Carolyn Lilipaly
And the short hair. And the style. And coolness.
Edina Gangl (water polo):
Vanessa Paradis
Klara Deutschmann, German actress.
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?
Abi Tucker
(Meike Droste, German actress)
Well, also because I liked the song. But yes, Azealia. Her eyes, her lips, her facial expressions.
Brody Dalle:
Wow.
This album cover by her former band also fascinated me:
Bélén Vosseberg (water polo):
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.”
I watched a few films with her just because I wanted to see her. Here a more recent picture, from when she was 51:
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.
Wanda Perdelwitz, German actress:
With whatever haircut, even though I only give examples of a few here.
Another video where when it came on, I just needed to sit and watch her and admire her.
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.
Andrea Petkovic, a former German tennis player. Funny, charming, smart, nice, very beautiful.
Then also young Lisa Bonet. I liked The Cosby Show, but I could also not get enough of seeing her.
Shirley Manson
Still so pretty:
A force of nature.
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.
Sharleen Spiteri. Wow.
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 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.
“Lick my legs and I’m on fire…” And that interview afterwards.
Polly is just great. You can only admire her as a person and as an artist. She always stays relevant.
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 after that, here some more women I found and find super attractive.
Zia McCabe
Almuth Schult, German football goalkeeper and TV expert:
And watch The Petko Dance:
Miriam Stein, Swiss-Austrian actress
Also, Melanie Blatt and Shaznay Lewis of All Saints, in the end of the 90s. That “Black Coffee” video.
To this day, I would count it among my top 20 favourite albums. I saw them again in Sweden then.
Lovefoxxx
And Justine Frischmann:
(Alli Neumann, German actress and singer)
And they are both just lovely and funny (and very pretty). Gotta love both of them.
But Sara… Gorgeous. And I so love the sound of her voice.
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 ;-)
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 ;-)
Aylin Tezel, German actress.
Milena Tscharntke, German actress:
And, yes, the Aerosmith videos… Alicia Silverstone.
“Bow down to me”
Then: Louise Post (to the right):
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.
“I’ll feed your obsession”
And yes, she does awesome air kicks and the windmill (the Pete Townshend stage move).
Andreya Casablanca, German musician (Gurr):
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.
Karen O
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.
(MTV days)
Ashleigh Johnson, water polo:
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.
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.
Gotta love her as a person as well.
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).
(Klara Bühl, German football player, also seems to be a really cool and adorable person)
(more recent)
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.
Kim Kulig, a former German football player.
Um, yeah …
Ekaterina Gamova (volleyball):
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 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.
Susanne Bormann (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.
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:
Jasmin Tabatabai (German actress)
(The reason why I watched Heartbreak High)
(Paula Beer, German actress)
Nicolette Krebitz (German actress)
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.
Those were all as a teenager.
Shirley, to me, while also a really likeable and cool person, it seems (from interviews), was one thing above all: SEXY.
(Leonie Benesch, German actress)
Sophie Verbeeck, Belgian actress and singer:
Right, some MTV UK VJanes during the 90s.
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 ;-)
God, she is simply just gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.
Itsaso Arana, Spanish actress
