Quitting/putting collecting on pause

Hmmm... I was 11 when I saw Jennifer Connelly in Labyrinth and Lea Thompson in Howard the Duck and I remember getting "excited" over both. That was 1986, I was in 5th grade and pretty sure that I hadn't begun to hit puberty yet.

I think that at that age my parents may have legitimately wondered which way I would go because I liked watching pro wrestling so much. :LOL:

In 2nd grade a kid at school told me he used to get excited and rub his weiner on the TV for Vanna White. He said the static felt funny and then he wanted to know why the rest of us didn't do this.when the reaction was less than positive.

And then he said he just made it up to see what we would say.

Sure, Jan.
 
I'm pretty sure my first 'adult woman' crush as a youth was Aunt Becky from Full House. Total smokeshow. Honestly, I think I had a little crush on Uncle Jesse too.
 
In third grade we had a new student. It was Library Day, so the teacher left us in the library to go to the office and get her.

Jessica Cremesino.

When she came into the library entrance she was backlit by the sun through a window. She was blonde. It was absolutely out of a movie where she was in slow motion lit by an aura of sunshine through her golden hair to something like Mr. Big's To Be With You.

She made me not talk so good. Of course her desk was next to mine, and she rode my bus. She lived across the street from my best friend two blocks over.
She had a Nintendo and knew about a third warp whistle in SMB3. We were in the Gifted Program, which meant we also left the class for half the day and had a smaller more non structured thing.

One day she was playing Oregon Trail, and the keyboard wasn't working. So I went to look behind the computer and check the plug, and I tripped over another cord and smashed my face into the wall and got a bloody nose. She went to the nurse's office with me and then she held the ice pack to my face.

She asked if I wanted to go to the arcade to play Street Fighter on the weekend.

There was no label but she was probably my first girlfriend in the most wholesome sense of the concept.
 
Sometime between 6 & 8, I thought the lady truck drivers on BJ & the Bear were hot. Btw, that's not one of the ladies sitting on the door window by the mirror. That's Bear, he would drive around the country with his human, BJ McKay, in their 18 wheeler trying to avoid Sheriff Lobo.

Then there was Wilma Deering (Erin Gray), Princess Aura (Ornella Muti), and Princess Ardala (Pamela Hensley).

I remember seeing Buck Rogers with my father in the theater because the first two episodes were released as a movie before the tv series starting airing. For some reason, I don't remember the special movie version opening. Kind of sexist and cringey looking at it now.

 
Shit.

Kathy Ireland.
Cindy Crawford.
Elizabeth Hurley.
Topanga.
The princess from Neverending Story.
Kimberly from MMPR.
Kelly Kapowski.

My love of the ladies was a wide net.

However, NONE of them compare to Michelle Pfeiffer. Specifically Catwoman Michelle. She might have been my sexual awakening.
 
Here we go, another six pages of discussion bound for the Relationship thread.


The earliest ones I can recall are Linda Carter as Wonder Woman and Catherine Bach's Daisy Duke.

There were at least 2 girls in elementary school who seemed to draw me in, and there were definitely more movie and TV women in my teens.
I remember telling someone during the early years of Boy Meets World that Topanga was going to be drop dead gorgeous when she grew up, and damn was I right.
