Stolen from lijahlover ages ago!
I am doing it now to distract myself from the fact I haven't been able to come up with anything for this week's hogwarts365. :((

Anyway, below the cut are my childhood crushes:


Patrick Duffy

(I chose this picture because I loved him in 'Man from Atlantis'. Boy was I bummed when that show ended.)

Starsky and Hutch

(They were my first foray into fanfic. I wrote HORRIBLE Mary Sue fic with me and them *g*)

Valerie Bertinelli

(OMG, I wanted to be her so bad!)

Bay City Rollers

(Men in kilts who can sing? Does it get any better?)

Diana Ross

(Holy cow, gorgeous and with an amazing voice!)

Earth Wind and Fire

(They just looked like they were fun! And can anyone listen to their music and not want to dance?)

David Cassidy

(Good GOD, look at those eyes. *melts*)


So, who were your childhood idols/crushes growing up?
Tell me! Distract me from my no-writing slump!

Also, I tag...lilyseyes, torino10154, sassy_cissa, akatnamedeaster, adafrog, capitu, enchanted_jae, brumeier, and digthewriter. *g*

My mother won a thing to meet the Bay City Rollers!
Also, THAT is Valerie Bertinelli?! The one from Hot in Cleveland and all those food network things? How did I not know this?!

Since I was a teeny-bopper born in the mid-80s (in no particular order): Jonathon Taylor Thomas, Taylor Hanson, AJ from the Backstreet Boys, and a whole bunch of professional wrestlers. Since people tend to think Hulk Hogan when I say 'professional wrestlers': this had pride of place on my wall when I was 12. I may have been slightly precocious!

My teenage idols were in no particular order....The band KISS, Eric Estrada, Freddie Prinze Sr., Cheech & Chong, Freddie Mercury and Cher.

[alisanne]

Ohh, Eric Estrada was a hottie. *nods*
Yeah, looking back is fun. :)

[alisanne]

Ooh lucky lady, your mom! :)

And yes, that is Valerie. And she's still hot, but when she was younger she was STUNNING.

Ahahahaha! Nice poster. And yes, precocious indeed. *g*
I think I'm prolly older then you, J T Thomas is a bid young. (Although I have no problem with Dan Rad, so...)
Backstreet Boys were cute!
The Hansens are from where I currently live. :)

[adafrog]

I had no idea there were so many people in Earth, Wind, and Fire.

Wow, I've forgotten most of them. I remember Val Kilmer. ?

[alisanne]

LOL! Yeah, there are more in the pic than I remember.

Val Kilmer. I vaguely recall him. And of course I'm remembering more people.
The Carpenters, that guy in Airwolf...

[adafrog]

Oh yeah, the Airwolf guy.
I remember watching the shows, and having some pictures on the wall, but apparently they weren't memorable enough. lol
Teen Beat!

[alisanne]

OMG, I remember Teen Beat! I was so excited when it came. <3

[adafrog]

Hee!

[lq_traintracks]

Awwwww! This is adorable, Ali. :D I'm dying over everyone's outfits. Like, at some point we all decided that this was normal and attractive. LOL!

I may have to do this later. I'm already laughing at myself here. Might as well publicize it! :D

[alisanne]

Dude, what are you talking about? Shiny green lamé bell bottoms are all the rage RN! :P
And how about those sexy, sexy white boots? ;)

Hee! I wanna see your list for sure! *g*

[magnetic_pole]

Aw, Earth Wind and Fire! Off to go search youtube for them. :) M.

[alisanne]

Be careful! That can be a black hole from which you may not be able to extract yourself for days! <3

[walgesang]

The Hoff. cringes I was so in love with Knight Rider. Also Jeremy Brett.

[alisanne]

*giggles*
Hey, I was right there with you, sister. The Hoff was HOTTIE!
<3

[gin_tonic]

I had *so* many crushes. Listing them all would take too long, but during my recent cold I watched a lot of day-time TV and was able to re-watch some of my favourites from back when, so I "re-connected" with my old crushes. Here goes:

Charlie Schlatter (in Diagnosis: Murder)
Clarence Gilyard Jr. (in Matlock / Walker)
Randolph Mantooth (in Emergency!)
Tony Curtis (in The Persuaders!)
James Darren (in Time Tunnel)
Alan Alda (in M*A*S*H) <3
Richard Dawson (in Hogan's Heroes)

[alisanne]

I know maybe two of those? LOL.
But you made me remember I had a crush on Trapper John, MD. *sigh*

Nice list! <3

[gin_tonic]

:D Day-time TV during my childhood and youth obviously included a lot of "old" shows. I love(d) them, though!
