Who's your celebrity crush?

(from 30:40 on)

Ekaterina Gamova (volleyball):

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.

Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support. I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized. he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that. he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened. he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence. i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction. after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly. things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it. we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe … our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far? this has upset me so much its hard to even function.

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

Also: Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes

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 ;-)

What are your thoughts on Italian nationalist poet Gabriele D'Annunzio, who was the subject of the documentary "Fiume o morte!"?

Those were all as a teenager.

Then the second film, where she was 15:

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

Why do I feel so tired all the time even after a good night’s sleep?

Cat Deeley

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.

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.

Is it possible for doctors to diagnose prostate cancer just by looking at a patient?

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. …

Shirley Manson

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

Andreya Casablanca, German musician (Gurr):

Karen O

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

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.

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.

Where is best free porn?

Vanessa Paradis

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.

Sophie Verbeeck, Belgian actress and singer:

Why is Reagan seen as the best president in the USA when he literally destroyed the American economy with trickle down system and was strongly against worker unions?

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

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.

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.

As a woman, what would be you response to a male friend’s offer of a full body massage?

Milena Tscharntke, German actress:

And Justine Frischmann:

Some examples:

Why are American women so ugly nowadays?

(Meike Droste, German actress)

This album cover by her former band also fascinated me:

Bélén Vosseberg (water polo):

What do you think, TikTok is nothing but another porn site? Do you agree or not? Why?

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

(Leonie Benesch, German actress)

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

Why have cell phones, the internet, and reality TV turned the world into a toilet, as this has not advanced us in any way?

Almuth Schult, German football goalkeeper and TV expert:

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

“Ey, man!!!” (in that voice)

Can I study a master’s in travel and tourism in Sweden within a budget of 5 lakhs INR?

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).

Susanne Bormann (German actress)

Abi Tucker

Right, Nora Tschirner, actress and former MTV host:

Right, some MTV UK VJanes during the 90s.

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

(Alli Neumann, German actress and singer)

Nicolette Krebitz (German actress)

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.

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

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

Ashleigh Johnson, water polo:

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.

Itsaso Arana, Spanish actress

Incredibly pretty.

Miriam Stein, Swiss-Austrian 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.

Jasmin Tabatabai (German actress)

(MTV days)

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

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.”

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 row and Nina Gordon (my friend’s favourite) and Louise Post took off their shirts and played the encore in their bras. Oh boy!

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

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

(Paula Beer, German actress)

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

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

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:

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 ;-)

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

This video:

Lovefoxxx

A force of nature.

Wanda Perdelwitz, German actress:

“I’ll feed your obsession”

Altogether: Her style and her attitude. Wow.

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.

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.

And, yes, the Aerosmith videos… Alicia Silverstone.

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

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

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).

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

Sharleen Spiteri. Wow.

Klara Deutschmann, German actress.

Britta Hammelstein, German actress:

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

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.

Gotta love her as a person as well.

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

And watch The Petko Dance:

Still so pretty:

Her eyes. Her style. 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 ;-)

Brody Dalle:

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.

Jennifer Love Hewitt.

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.

Just watch a few seconds here:

Wow.

Kim Deal

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

I had to google pictures.

Shaved head, boots. Fierce.

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

(The reason why I watched Heartbreak High)

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.

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.

Then: Louise Post (to the right):

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

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

Well, actresses as well, of course:

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…”).

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

Liv Lisa Fries, German actress

Carolyn Lilipaly

(Cortnee Vine, Asutralian football player)

Starting with: Sara Quin.

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.

(more recent)

Aylin Tezel, German actress.

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

Um, yeah …

Zia McCabe

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

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

Edina Gangl (water polo):
