Ooh…Mario Lopez…

Did you happen to see his shower scene on Nip/Tuck? Let’s just say that his face doesn’t have the only cheeks on his body with dimples…

Robin from Batman when I was in Kindergarten.

Linda Ronstadt circa 1977, and the same vintage of Stevie Nicks. Mix well.

Many socks were laundered in their honor.

Here’s my list-

[Johnny Whitaker](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/517XBKY2K5L._SL500_AA280_.jpg)- damn I wanted to be Jodie Foster! Loved him in “Sigmund and the Sea Monsters” too.

[Christopher Atkins](http://images.art.com/images/products/large/10103000/10103280.jpg)- yeah, baby…

[Scott Baio](http://www.poprock80s.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/scott_baio1.jpg) in the Chachi era.

And speaking of Power Rangers, I give you [Jason](http://media.photobucket.com/image/jason%20david%20frank/JasonDavidFrank420/My%20Idols/JasonDavidFrank.jpg) [David](http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Boulevard/5870/shrines/red/jason-frank.jpg) [Frank](http://media.photobucket.com/image/jason%20david%20frank/JasonDavidFrank420/My%20Idols/JasonDavidFrank-1.jpg). Holy flurcking schmidt! The guy is Hottie McHot Hot, and I only discovered him when my kids started watching the various Power Ranger series (I think he’s in almost every one of them). And he’s younger than me! Dayum…

You too? Mary Poppins is the first movie I remember seeing as a kid, and I was absolutely, totally in love with Bert!

Damn, the good ones are always taken. You’re handsome, better looking than Mark Lester now, but somehow I thought you’d be blonde.

Thank you, ma’am. I had very blonde hair as a little kid - almost looked Swedish - and it’s darkened over time. Now, of course, it’s going gray!

I’ll admit it. I had a crush on Punky Brewster.

When I was six years old, I had a mad crush on Willy Wonka. Not Gene Wilder, but the Wonka character from the movie. He smart and sarcastic and interesting-looking.

I’m kind of proud of the fact that I liked smart sarcastic guys even at such a tender age. 🙂

After that, it was the Professor from Gilligan’s Island.

Come to think of it, I still have a mad crush on Willy Wonka. 🙂

Mine was Davey Jones from the Monkees. When I was in grade school (probably 10 or so) they were showing the reruns on Nikelodeon. Then they had some special where they had Davey Jones host something or other. I was so disappointed that he had gotten “too old”. ☹

I’m not sure by what logic 1980’s Davey Jones was too old for a grade schooler, but 1960’s Davey Jones was just fine, but there you go.

After that I developed crushes on The Riddler from the old Adam West Batman series, and on Phillippe from the New Adventures of Zorro, both of which were airing on the Family channel at the time.

I can’t believe I’m the first to put in Penny from Lost in Space.

Sure…she was several years older than me…but she was hot!
