Don’t feel too bad. I’ve always had a thing for Elisa Maza, and I was in college when the show first aired. 🙂

Even at age 42, I’d still like to boink Wilma Flintstone.

Interesting. I just tried a few episodes of _Gravitation_ and didn’t quite like it althought I thought some of it was funny. A friend tells me the manga is better but I just don’t like the main character.

How about the Count from _Petshop of Horrors_ ?

My wallpaper is, and has been for some time, a nice drawing of the animated Poison Ivy. Assuming she’s about 5’8", she’s pretty much my ideal.

When I was young and impressionable (I’m talking like 7-8 years old here), I had a brief thing for Lion-O from the Thundercats. :eek:

Yikes! Is that really attractive? I don’t mean to be rude, but that woman is so bizarrely disproportionate that I _really_ don’t get the attraction. _Really._

Oh, what th’ hell. I’d do…

[Sailor Mercury](http://pretor007.tripod.com/sailorleo/mercury_gal/SailorMerc_2.jpg) from _Sailor Moon_.

The incomparably sultry [Enid Coleslaw](http://www.guiadelcomic.com/comics/pix/ghost_world/vinyeta_revista.jpg) from _Ghost World_. (I’d even settle for Thora Birch!)

The lovely [Lois Griffin](http://timstvshowcase.com/famguylois.jpg) from _Family Guy_. (At the risk of crossing some borders that I shouldn’t, let’s just remind ourselves of the famous question posed by Glenn Quagmire: [“Hey, Meg. You eighteen yet?”](http://timstvshowcase.com/famguymeg.jpg))

I’ve also got a thing for [Akane Tendo](http://www.opusgames.com/toys/pics/akaneSmile.jpg) from _Ranma ½_, even though she reminds me maybe a little too much of [Lucy Van Pelt, who is definitely _not_ on my list. And is it so wrong to have a thing for [url=http://www.manga.sk/Informacie/Recenzie/Ranma/RanmaF.JPG]girl-type Ranma](http://www.outsidethelines.biz/lucy.gif)? Probably. Those animé babes, they make me think the wrong thing… My favorite Ranma babe is [Ukyo Kwonji](http://www.to2000.net/manga/images/ukyo.jpg), who reminds me of my real-life, 3-D girlfriend, only Ukyo’s taller.

A friend of mine has craven lust for [Fritzi Ritz](http://www.deniskitchen.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/PC_FR.B.GIF). I completely understand that, although I don’t feel the same way. [Betty Rubble](http://espn-i.starwave.com/media/pg2/2001/1030/photo/brubble_sp.gif)’s more my type.
