I finally get to ask this question, I'm so psyched. Just answer the question. Can be an actor, pop star, person you know that none of us know, it's all good. Just answer it, because I really need to know.

Ally, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Oooohhhh... can we make this a "ten people we wouldn't kick out of bed" thread?

masonic boom, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I'll just stick to celebs rather than listing all the unrequited crushes I've got/had...hmmm...I've really got this thing for Liz Barker who presents Blue Peter, and Willow form Buffy...*sigh*

james e l, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

That's exactly what I want this thread to be, Kate.

Ally, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I wouldn't really want ten people in my bed, it'd be kinda uncomfortable.

james e l, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I'm gonna make it five, cause, well, I don't wanna bore you all too much. And gosh, I hope Paul doesn't read this. ;-) Oh well, he already knows.

People I wouldn't kick out of bed...

1) Peter Holmstrom of the Dandy Warhols. OK, despite the fact that idol-worship is invariably *ruined* by getting to know your idols, every now and then, I still see a picture of him, and just go "uuuuhhhh..." 2) Sonic Boom. Living proof that dirty dronerock boys from Rugby can have cheekbones, too. 3) Damien Hirst. Brains can be as attractive as looks. Besides, you just know he'd be absurdly *dirty* in bed. 4) Jeff Davies out of BJM/Smallstone. Uuuuuuhhhhhhh... 5) DanandOllie out of the Channel 6. This isn't even a crush any more. In fact, I don't actually want to sleep with either of them, either. It's not actually about *them* - as evidenced by the fact that I no longer distinguish between the two of them. It's just one of those things that has been going on for so long that it's become one of my personality quirks. Kate fancies the C6. I mean, if I *didn't* say something about them it would be odd, you know?

OK, just a general list of other boys I think are pretty: Nicky Wire (well, duh!), the keyboardist out of Sigur Ros, Nick out of Fonda500, posessor of the "Best Fringe In Rock", Mark Gardener (yes, still, even bald!), errrmmmm... gosh, I really must be sick if I/m having problems raising a flush of hormones about anyone. Most shameful boy I find attractive is probably Crispian Mills. If only I could tape his mouth shut and just have him stand there looking pretty. (hmm, kind of the way I feel about Nicky Wire. Wonder if there's something to that?)

Will probably add more boys who want to adore me as I think of them.

masonic boom, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

My sister thinks Crispian was hot, but he looks so much like Princess Diana AND Ellen DeGeneres.

You're totally on the money about Mark Gardener. I got involved with college radio because the boy in charge looked exactly like him.

Nicole, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Crispian really isn't bad looking, he's just an idiot. If there was some way to deprogram him...It's like my mom says, she'll see a guy like Brendan Frasier (WHO SHE LOVES), and she'll go to the tv while he's in an interview, "Shhh, don't speak, no words!" Right, let me answer this:
1. Richey. DUH. Hello? Don't any of you read my posts?
2. Jarvis, but only if he loses those ugly glasses he sports now with the yellow tint, and washes his hair. He's looking like a homeless man these days, he really needs to go back to the Different Class look.
3. Christian Bale. If you disagree, you are wrong.
4. Britney Spears, but only if she loses that awful orange fake tan.
5. Russell Crowe, partially because I fancy him but also partially because I want to find out if it's true that he shouts out "RUSSELL! CROWE!" during sex.
6. James Dean Bradfield, but only if he went back to the way he looked back during Gold Against the Soul / The Holy Bible. His new "middle-aged dad" look doesn't work for me.
7. Aaliyah, even though her singing annoys me.
8. This guy I work with that none of you know and I'm not putting in his name because I have a sneaking suspicion he has gone on Google and done searches on my name.
9. Alex James, and Damon Albarn too, but only if I can tear out Damon's tongue first.
10. Richey again, because he's worth two spots. People I will never sleep with: Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey, Brett Anderson, Ramon.

Ally, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Argh, I forgot Johnny Depp! He looks too much like someone I know, so forget it. It's the same thing with Keanu Reeves, Keanu looks like my cousin, so fancying Keanu is like fancying my cousin which is just plain wrong where I'm from.

Ally, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

okay, in no particular order...

britney -- like i said that one night, it's like screwing america. and who hasn't wanted to do at least once?

beyonce -- i can only hope that she is my destiny.

nelly furtado -- but only if she promises not to rap or chant or whatever she does on that missy remix.

penelope cruz and salma hayek -- um, they're hot?

julianne moore -- because she was without makeup for almost all of safe and still looked great.

winona ryder -- fucking beck, man. he got her when she looked her best in years. beck's almost enough to put me off entirely. but not quite.

laetitia casta -- we'd speak the language of love.

thandie newton -- though i imagine dan and i would have to fight for her affection, and a menage a trois, with dan, is OUT OF THE QUESTION.

mila kunis -- some days, it's donna; some days it's jackie. today it's jackie.

fred solinger, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Katie Couric. GOd would I love to have her.

-- Mike Hanley, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

nelly furtado -- Why not just say Courtney Cox? Cause they're the same woman, except Nelly is more tan.

mila kunis -- My sister looks a lot like Mila Kunis. You are quite welcome to her. Please. Take her to New Jersey, or out of my neighborhood at least.

Nicole, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Tear-the-tongue-out makes this too easy.

1: Axl in a skirt (assuming still skinny& evil...) 2: Joan Jett (complicated somewhat by fact that I'd prefer to BE her) 3: Thurston Moore 4: Kim or Kelley Deal (forget which now, and the other didn't do it at ALL) 5: Angel&Spike 6: Faith (obviously Willow is my favourite character too but puh-LEASE: how indie- girlie wide-eye Hello-Kitty T-shirt can you get, sexwise? Even Evil Willow is only abt Goth Cleavage, and I concur with Anthonyeaston on cleavage...) 7: Marc Bolan c.1972 8: Doris Day c.1952 9: John Cage c.1932 10: Kym Marsh

mark s, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

because courteney cox is old and is married to david arquette.

and your sister likes these animal men. OUT OF THE QUESTION.

fred solinger, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

because courteney cox is old and is married to david arquette.

But she has money, and basically the same face regardless of age. Nelly will be hosting a show on the cbc within a couple of years, and then where would you be. and your sister likes these animal men. OUT OF THE QUESTION.

But that shows she has a lack of taste, so she'd probably really be into you. If she liked Crispian and Johnny Dean, it's likely...

Nicole, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Sleeping with people is dead, it's tired, it's played out, I want to sleep with the characters they play. Josie and Melody, Dylan in Charlie's Angels, the sexual care package Anna Paquin plays in Hurly Burly, Madeleine in Masculin-Feminin, Buttercup in the Princess Bride. Britney and the three girls in Mensen are the only people I'd let play themselves.

Otis Wheeler, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Nicole, your sister looks like Mila Kunis? What a coincidence, SO DOES MY SISTER. Rather strikingly.

I am so not talking to Fred anymore.

Ally, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Oh, and Mr. Wheeler, doesn't Melody remind you of....STEPHANIE?

Ally, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

why am i not being spoken to anymore? your sister looks like katie holmes. she did not make the list. your sister is like jackie, the character, but she doesn't look like her.

fred solinger, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

oh, and mark: aren't kim and kelley twins? how do you tell them apart? kelley looks a bit sluttier, but kim has a better voice. tough call. why not take both?

fred solinger, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

K&K = twins, yes. Can tell apart, can't remember which is which. One = hot; other = both = not. A mystery to me, also.

PS: Have realised no-tongue only applies to Angel.

mark s, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Melody is like Stephanie except cute and lovable.

I would've put Katie Fuckin' Holmes on the list if I liked the characters she plays. I would've put Ally's sister on the list if she still looked like Katie Holmes, but now that she looks like Mila Kunis, I don't care.

Otis Wheeler, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Okay, my sister looks NOTHING like Katie Holmes, everyone else agrees with me, except Otis saw one photo of her that looked like Katie Holmes vaguely, but then he saw some more and he's all, what the fuck, Fred is a crackhead, she looks nothing like Katie Holmes. Not only that, but EVERYONE who has seen recent photos of her (ie her prom photos, for example) thinks she looks just like Mila Kunis!

So, yeah, go away, thanks, we are so thru, how disturbing is this? "Yeah, here's my man, he wants to shag women that look suspiciously like my sister". U. G. H. Where's Richey when I need him?

Ally, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

So, Otis, you admit you want to shag women who are like Stephanie, then? Intriguing, do I smell hook up? I mean, granted, you two hate each other, but so did my mom and dad.

Ally, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Jarvis Cocker? UGH!!! Most UNSEXY man alive!!! You know, given a choice between Jarvis, and complete celibacy, I would become a nun. Disgusting. Not only is he hideous, he has the more repulsive voice I've ever heard. And he gargles when he speaks or sings.

Alex James... hmmmm... in about 1993/4, in a heartbeat. No questions asked. Oh yes. In fact, Ally, have you read The Deep Field? (mwah hah hah). But now... no, it's just too awful. I mean, it's not bad enough that he got all fat and furry like a giant teddy bear, but he CUT HIS FRINGE OFF!!! I mean... forget it! No fringe, no Alex!

Oh, and I forgot. Bobby Gillespie. He was the man who awoke my teenage sexuality in 1985, and I will never forget it, no matter how skanky he might get, he is still forever lovely and leatherclad and sweeping his fringe out of his face in my mind.

Sorry, Christian Bale is just not attractive. Nope, just can't see it. Next you'll be trying to convince me that Jude Law is anything but an ugly mug. However, Johnny Depp? Yes, indeed. Loveliness, even though I don't fancy actors at all. Well, OK, excepting maybe Ewan McGreggor and Gary Oldman.

Sorry, I could talk about cute boys all night. I often do. Heh.

masonic boom, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Dude, Kate, if you had better taste in men, I'd be so down with you. This is such a shame.

Actually, now that I've thought it thru, this is the best thing ever. We should totally be hanging out with each other because we'd go to a club, see two guys, and we wouldn't have the issue of the mini-fight over which one goes with whom - we'd like different ones. This would be such a fantastically good thing, a change of pace, you see.

I've seen no recent pictures of Alex James, nor do I want to. In my mind, he looks exactly how he did on the promos for Great Escape still, damnit.

Actually, Blur as a whole aren't bad at all. My former neighbor looked like Graham, he was quite tasty.

Ally, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Johnny Dean?!?!? Bwah hah hah! OK, Menswe@r were utter crap, but when they first started out, all fringes and cheekbones, my lord were they lovely. Like if Louis Perlman started an indie boyband, that is exactly what they should look like. But then they shaved their heads and grew beards and started dating Elastica and become uglier than dogs. Oh well.

masonic boom, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

i don't know what's more disturbing: your necrophilia or the fact that you want to do guys who look strangely like me.

and disturbing isn't picking someone who looks like your sister; disturbing is picking someone who looks like my sister. which is why jenny mccarthy couldn't even be considered.

and i took it for granted that we meant characters. who wants to sleep with people with emotions and feelings that go deeper than those expressed in videos and sitcoms? that's why models rule because they represent objectification at its best.

fred solinger, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Why would anyone consider Jenny McCarthy anyway? Not cause she's ugly or anything, but because she's so completely irritating and always pulling those horrible faces. Thank god she's washed up now.

Hmm, based on your current picture I wouldn't say you look like Richey at all...

Nicole, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

*THAT'S* what Fred looks like? Good god, it's *really* a shame about his taste in music, then! ::ducks::

It's good if you and yer female friends don't agree on taste in men, cause then there's never fights over boys. I used to have a best friend who had the exact same taste in men, and she always pulled the boys I fancied, and it SUCKED!!! Now I'm mates with Jane (bassist for Lollies) there's never any trouble. She always likes the singer and I always like the bassist... with a few rare exceptions. (She thinks Damon is hot. I think he's a twat, and far prefer Alex... oh, and BTW, he was already being airbrushed by the Great Escape. Modern Life era Alex is the loveliest, by far... mmmm...)

mark s, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I think you have it a bit backwards, dear, on the whole men- that-look-like-you thing. I pick men that look like Richey, not the other way around.

I only sleep with men anyhow because I hate men and want to control them and abuse them, so the more emotions they have to fuck with, the better. Though I decided to go celibate today to make Ramon obsess over me.

Ally, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Erm... I'm not sure about wanting to shag people who look like your siblings. I mean, my mum claims that *I* always do, pointing out the number of blond-haired, blue-eyed, large-nosed boys I fancy. Crispian Mills looks a bit like my brother when he was about 8 or 9, so maybe she has a point there. Peter Holmstrom doesn't look like my brother, but people often used to mistake him for *being* my brother when they'd see us together, or see pictures of us. Which is kind of scary in and of itself. Maybe I'm just a total narcissist and like boys that look like *me*?

masonic boom, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Pff, Kate, the only reason I'm so in love with Richey James is cos he's exactly like me, so what other reason is there to fancy someone besides narcissism?

Wanting to shag your siblings or your SIGNIFICANT OTHER'S SIBLINGS is sick though, really.

Ally, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I don't find any blond men the slightest bit attractive. I blame Ken, he ruined them for me.

Nicole, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I'm not a big fan of blondes either, if it makes you feel better.

Ally, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

1/ Selma Hayek (way hotter than Penelope Cruz)

2/ Louise Loughman (Irish TV presenter who's kinda gawky looking and has horrible taste in clothes, PVC pants and such, but I still find her gorgeous)

3/ Teri Hatcher (whatever happened to her?)

Michael, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Salma Hayek IS way hot, I don't know why I didn't think of her. Everyone agrees, she was just voted sexiest woman alive by some Spanish magazine or another, I really don't know which one because it was just one of those things I read on Yahoo!.

Ally, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Stephanie is neither cute nor lovable, so she's NOTHING like Melody.

I do not want to shag your sister, Ally. Like I said, she looks like Mila Kunis, so I don't care.

Otis Wheeler, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Look, Kate, Jarvis DOES NOT GARGLE. I wouldn't want to sleep with him though. He looks just a wee bit too pointy and he's probably want to keep his grim specs on. Alex James used to be OK when he kept quiet, but you'd have to get Damien Hirst away from him first which would be quite tricky as he's a big bugger. As is Mr James nowadays. I saw a really disturbing picture of him in Time Out a couple of weeks ago in which he looked even chubbier around the chops than I do now.

Richard Tunnicliffe, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Kirsten Dunst in The Virgin Suicides. And the rest of the Lisbon sisters thrown in except the *really* young one, of course.(!) Debbie Harry in the video for 'Atomic' Lauren Lavern - okay, so shes a bit gawky, but... sometimes personality *does* matter! Beth Orton (see above). Miki from Lush. She's got that *look*. Y'know? Cate Blanchett. esp. in 'Elizabeth' and 'Oscar & Lucinda' Claire Danes (make a decent film soon pleeeaase!)

Oh, and my first pop-star 'crush' - Clare Grogan in Altered Images singing 'Happy Birthday' on TOTP. A ten year olds idea of a REAL girl.

Err... alex James *hasn't had his fringe cut off... has he?

DavidM, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Okay, Otis, I never said you wanted to shag Megan. Not everything is about you, pssh.

Nobody on tv or in bands does much of anything for me. I like my girlfriend and that is the fuckin' troof. Occasionally I will get turned on by some tv pixels in a generic sort of way, but not enough to remember anyone's names or wait for the next time they're half naked on my mtv.

Nude Spock, Monday, 11 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

1. Faith from Buffy (as with Mark and Joan Jett, this is complicated by the fact that I also want to *be* her).

2. Jared Leto/Ewan McGregor (the first when he's not on drugs and the second when he is... but fix those teeth Ewan)

3. Stephen Dorff

4. Short-haird Rob Lowe in The West Wing (a bit old for me, but I bet that job pays well)

Yes, Alexander the James has banished the fringe and got fat. It is terribly unfortunate. However, RickyT, who says we'd have to peel him away from Damien Hirst first, anyway? Go back and look who else is on my list!

I don't know why I like blond men so much. It must be the incest thing. Especially blond men with glasses. Glasses make any man about 10 times more attractive. Watched _Stand By Me_ last night and was having hideous impure thoughts about a pre-pubescent Cory Feldman. Save me!

mookieproof, Saturday, 26 September 2020 03:12 (three years ago) link

i think crushes are important.

if you saw things with total objectivity--if you saw people as they are, like really as they are--you would be overwhelmed with the weakness and folly of humanity. we are smart enough to understand, or maybe formulate, ideals, but we are way too limited to realize them. if you dwell too much on them, you become a misanthrope.

admiring, and even feeling "crushed," by the beauty of another, even romanticizing them to a point that isn't really warranted, that is distorting, is a way to ward off misanthropy.

it will make you, personally, miserable of course. you're never gonna "get" the object of your affection. even if you do enter a relationship with them, you'll soon learn they're just another sinner like you. to love them you will need to let go of the ideal in your mind, that construct that had "crushed" you. but being personally miserable is a prerequisite of having faith in humanity.

so I would say the AT&T girl

Yeah, good stuff, treeship.

I never understood the appeal of talking about one’s crushes to others, for me it takes the bloom off the rose. Unless the idea is to get the voteword out, like Mr. Barkis in David Copperfield.

Well, he's a Brit so that's problematic and colonialist.

Kinda in love with Maya Rudolph tbh.

I constantly have more crushes than I can count, but I'm happily married and they don't mean anything.

Maya Rudolph though, is a Very Serious Crush. I went back and forth on whether I liked Big Mouth, but I hung on just to hear her say "bubba baff."

I have a coworker who I like but never fancied before. Recently, she got a short haircut (I like ladies with short hair)and I started finding her to be cute. Found out yesterday that she got braces (I'm fascinated by women with braces). But I can't see her braces because we're all masked up for quarantine and whenever we're talking I'm thinking about what's behind her mask which creates a tension which makes the mask exciting. Weird times.
