Quitting/putting collecting on pause

I don't remember who my first celebrity crush was but the longest-lasting was probably Kimberly the Pink Ranger. I didn't mention that when I met her in person last November....I'm guessing every 40 year old doofus has told her that. And though I wasn't as aware of it at the time, Trini was pretty hot too.

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.

Yeah I'm right there with you. Pretty sure they were two of my earliest, if not the earliest, attractions to the female form.
 
Man....seeing some of these early crushes drives home how freakin' OLD I am!!! My first crush, at the ripe old age of 6, was Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia...which I saw in the theater when it was a brand new movie! Other significant crushes were Jacklyn Smith on Charlie's Angels (everyone at the time had a thing for Farrah...they could keep her! I wanted Kelly Garret!), Olivia Newton-John (pretty sure my parents thought I was gay because I watched Xanadu anytime it was on cable), Debbie Harry (my body felt...weird...whenever I saw the video for Heart of Glass), and Erin Gray on Buck Rogers.

You’re still five years younger than I am if I’m doing the math right! 😛

I’ll never forget my mom and grandmother ragging on what a bimbo Debbie Harry was when they performed on the Merv Griffin show in ‘79. They asked me if I thought she was attractive. Of course I pretended like I didn’t. If I could go back in time, I would have said “Yeah, I like bimbos” just to eee the looks on their faces. 😂
 
I seen it much later, but Debbie Harry on Sugarman's Midnight Special from 1979 performing Heart of Glass is always worth a watch. I don't know about the outfit, but she pulls it off and I'm sure she was on some sugar at the time.

I must've been 11 when I saw Blade Runner for the first time, but shout out to Pris and Zhora.

My mom had some weird idea in her head that Olivia Newton-John was a lesbian....no idea what part of her ass she pulled that out of, but she would always make comments if I was watching anything with her in it. My parents were, and still are, Fundamentalists, so if I'd expressed any interest in her whatsoever I would have gotten an earful. Oddly, they never seemed to change the radio whenever her songs came on. Don't know if they didn't know those songs were sung by her, or if they secretly liked them so they bypassed their distaste for her imaginary "lifestyle". It wasn't until I got in my teens that I was brave enough to tell my mom that she had no idea what the hell she was talking about, and showed her a picture in a magazine of her with her then-husband.

"Bimbos" and "Lesbians", man....they made us into the men we are today! :LOL:

Jesus Christ, Debbie Harry's my first, last, and only answer for "celebrity crush." Or ... as I'm sure you'll appreciate, Gill-Man ... Julie Adams.

Debbie Harry's been such a thing for me since high school that basically every friend, relative, and girlfriend of mine has at some point or another commented on it. My first serious girlfriend used to tease me that Debbie was her only real competition.
