Who's your celebrity crush?

Aylin Tezel, German actress.
Miriam Stein, Swiss-Austrian 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.
What are some cool confidence hacks?
Still so pretty:
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.
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:
If I ever have a daughter, she will have to watch this at some point:
Liv Lisa Fries, German actress
With whatever haircut, even though I only give examples of a few here.
Jonathan Joss, ‘King of the Hill’ and ‘Parks & Recreation’ actor, dead at 59 after shooting - CNN
Karen O
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 ;-)
Milena Tscharntke, German actress:
How do you deal with neighbors who are always telling you what to do?
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.”
Also, Melanie Blatt and Shaznay Lewis of All Saints, in the end of the 90s. That “Black Coffee” video.
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.
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.
And Justine Frischmann:
The Ocean Is Getting Darker, Threatening All That Lives Within - ScienceAlert
Ekaterina Gamova (volleyball):
Klara Deutschmann, 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.
Why should the law care about what I do behind closed doors?
And Fiona Apple. Such a good artist. And: Her eyes…!
And after that, here some more women I found and find super attractive.
Shirley, to me, while also a really likeable and cool person, it seems (from interviews), was one thing above all: SEXY.
Almuth Schult, German football goalkeeper and TV expert:
Wow.
Starting with: Sara Quin.
Do Republicans want to ban books and decide what your kids can and can’t read?
I had to google pictures.
Andrea Petkovic, a former German tennis player. Funny, charming, smart, nice, very beautiful.
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.
Have your parents ever walked in on you?
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.
Um, yeah …
Another video where when it came on, I just needed to sit and watch her and admire her.
Then also young Lisa Bonet. I liked The Cosby Show, but I could also not get enough of seeing her.
Jasmin Tabatabai (German actress)
To this day, I would count it among my top 20 favourite albums. I saw them again in Sweden then.
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.
Itsaso Arana, Spanish actress
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.
Then: Louise Post (to the right):
Well, also because I liked the song. But yes, Azealia. Her eyes, her lips, her facial expressions.
(Cortnee Vine, Asutralian football player)
(Alli Neumann, German actress and singer)
Sophie Verbeeck, Belgian actress and singer:
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.
Kim Deal
Vanessa Paradis
(MTV days)
Zia McCabe
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!
Cat Deeley
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.
Altogether: Her style and her attitude. Wow.
“I’ll feed your obsession”
Seems to me I do not stop having small secret celebrity crushes.
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.
Some examples:
Lovefoxxx
“Cool as Kim Deal” is a song by The Dandy Warhols. Yes, yes, yes!
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 had the following on VHS back then. She was just raw and fierce. Pantyhose, boots, no bra.
Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes
PJ Harvey. Just like many of the others here, I admire her as a person and artist.
And I must have watched that “212” video by Azealia Banks 10–15 times, for sure.
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.
(from 30:40 on)
Just to know that if she wanted to do something like that, she should.
(Klara Bühl, German football player, also seems to be a really cool and adorable person)
And, yes, the Aerosmith videos… Alicia Silverstone.
Right, Nora Tschirner, actress and former MTV host:
A force of nature.
Just watch a few seconds here:
Also: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes
(Leonie Benesch, German actress)
Her eyes. Her style. Her voice.
Incredibly pretty.
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).
Right, some MTV UK VJanes during the 90s.
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.
At the same time also: Anat Atzmon. The first Lemon Popsicle film.
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.
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).
(The reason why I watched Heartbreak High)
(above she has a striking resemblence to German actress Nora Tschirner, another little crush when she was an MTV host)
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…”).
I watched a few films with her just because I wanted to see her. Here a more recent picture, from when she was 51:
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.
Sharleen Spiteri. Wow.
And they are both just lovely and funny (and very pretty). Gotta love both of them.
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.
This video:
Kim Kulig, a former German football player.
Andreya Casablanca, German musician (Gurr):
(Paula Beer, German actress)
And yes, she does awesome air kicks and the windmill (the Pete Townshend stage move).
Those were all as a teenager.
(more recent)
Then the second film, where she was 15:
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?
Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Shirley Manson
Susanne Bormann (German actress)
Sinéad O’ Connor
I have found myself not only liking her analysis and her charming ways but also finding her really attractive.
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.
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.
“Lick my legs and I’m on fire…” And that interview afterwards.
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. …
“Bow down to me”
“Ey, man!!!” (in that voice)
Abi Tucker
Carolyn Lilipaly
Nicolette Krebitz (German actress)
Britta Hammelstein, German 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.
Well, actresses as well, of course:
Wanda Perdelwitz, German actress:
Gotta love her as a person as well.
Brody Dalle:
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 had that for the first time as a teenager with Mary Joe Fernandez
(Meike Droste, German actress)
God, she is simply just gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.
But Sara… Gorgeous. And I so love the sound of her voice.
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 ;-)
Bélén Vosseberg (water polo):
Edina Gangl (water polo):
Ashleigh Johnson, water polo:
And watch The Petko Dance:
This album cover by her former band also fascinated me:
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 ;-)
