> 1. The local NBC station here - WMAQ, now has achieved the Triple Crown of womanhood. A reporter, a weather reporter, and a sports reporter who together are a unified newscast sent from God just for me. Dopers from Chicago know I mean **Anna, Ginger and Paula**. The rest of you, Google and dream. Disclaimer: The station website pictures are horrible. Also, I recently traded e-mails with Anna on an unrelated informational matter and I think she’s after me now. Wished me a great holiday and all, which sounds innocent, but there was a hidden message I think.

Are you able to recite from memory the top news, weather and sports stories without salivating?

My celebrity crush: [http://www.wimp.com/realtalk/](http://www.wimp.com/realtalk/).

He’s amazing! No, _NOT_ Conan.

Celebrities? My newish one is [Jesse Hutch](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1237948/). He’s [handsome](http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1630703616/nm1237948) in the way that the guys I lust after in real life are: dark hair, dark eyes, fit, not _too_ tall…and a few years younger than me, which is true of half my real life crushes as well.

My real life crush doesn’t seem like a good idea at the moment, but we’ll see what next month brings.

On the most recent _Foreign Exchange with Daljit Dhaliwal_, I saw Kavita Ramdas of the [Global Fund for Women](http://www.globalfundforwomen.org/cms/about-gfw/staff/kavita-n.-ramdas.html). She has one of those strikingly off-kilter jaws, which just made her face more fascinating.

I think she fits nicely in my long list of absolutely futile crush objects that make no sense to anyone I know.

Thom Yorke. God, I love that wonky eye of his, too. [http://www.thom-yorke.info/include/photos/thom\_yorke3.jpg](http://www.thom-yorke.info/include/photos/thom_yorke3.jpg)

I would do about a hundred things to him.

Ooh, ooh!

That’s it. This thread is over. I hereby present the French newscaster-turned-goddess: [Melissa Theuriau](http://spartacus.drogers.net/images/full/melissa-theuriau.jpg) (and [more](http://images.google.com/images?q=Melissa%20Theuriau&btnG=Search+Images), possibly NSFW)

She’s:  
[ul]  
[li]Gorgeous :D[/li][li]Into journalism :D[/li][li]French-speaking (a plus in my book… god, there’s no one I’d rather hear speak it ) :D[/li][li]Gorgeous :D[/li][li]Did I mention heart-stoppingly, breathtakingly, pulse-arrestingly drop-dead gorgeous? :D[/li][/ul]

It’s probably bad form, but can I quote myself?

QFT, brother!

I don’t remember what I was doing when I first saw her. I just remember the world disappearing around me, leaving only her eyes and her smile… and I just gazed into that photo for hours and hours and she was all I could think about for days. It was like falling in love for the first time again. And when I finally looked away and closed my eyes, I had only one thought in my head:

There \*is \*a god!

Did I mention that she’s [GORGEOUS](http://www.fanpix.net/picture-gallery/906/9906-melissa-theuriau-picture.htm)? 😃

[Zachary Levi](http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3092025600/nm1157048). Even playing a nerd, he has \*so \*got It!

Yeah, ok, on a scale from 1 to 10, she gets a high 8 or so… but how could an 8 compare to INFINITY ZILLION PLUS TWO?

Utter blasphemy. You should be ashamed.

I would totally do George Bush.

(It’s the hair, the accent, and the smirk. The amalgam that brings forth powerful memories of a handful of lovers from my Texas days… )

I hate myself.

As this thread still seems to have serious legs, allow me to add my crush…

[Molly and her ukulele](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrUwqc0sF7U)

Be sure to check out her other original song “My Hope”

Oh, and I totally second Kari Byron.
