I was going to add, “as a kid” to the title, but it occurred to me that friends of mine have unapologetically admitted to being attracted to cartoons, (such as Jessica Rabbit). I can’t say I agree, don’t know if it’s because I know she’s not real, or that I’m not into red heads so much. I know some guys that are into anime women. Women, I would REALLY like to hear from you, if at all possible. Please tell me it’s not just a ‘guy thing’. When I was a kid I had a HUGE crush on Penny from Inspector Gadget. Not sure why HER of all the other toon options I had, but I admit, she gave me the vapors. BTW, this thread was inspired by Your Celebrity Crush That Makes Others Say “WTF?” (How do I “insert link”) ---

I’ve been subscribing to Tina’s Groove almost solely because of the lead character. If that ain’t sad I don’t know what is, but she is cute as hell. ---

Male, 35 yrs old. I had a thing for Daphne from Scooby Doo when I was a kid. I also think Kim Possible’s mighty cute but isn’t she jailbait? ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ---

Jessie from the newer Johnny Quest show. I’m pretty sure the animators were intentionally putting her in alluring poses though, so I couldn’t be helped but to notice. The Irish mechanic girl from Wing Commander Academy. Can’t remember her name though, it’s been forever since I watched that show. ---

Woman, here - do video games count? Cause I have a ton, then. Aarin Gend from Neverwinter Nights, Valen Shadowbreath from NWN: Hordes of the Underdark, Carth Onasi from Knights of the Old Republic, Atton Rand from KotOR II, Sky from Jade Empire… oh yes, and a bunch of player-created mod characters for Baldur’s Gate 2. ---

> [@Pashnish\_Ewing](#): > > My list begins and ends with the pink haired E-surance super spy-girl from the E-surance commercials. Did you see the one where she’s in a dressing room and she takes off her pink hair to reveal plain, brown hair beneath? I actually found myself being a little disappointed that her pink hair wasn’t her real hair… My list definately includes The Little Mermaid. And, if we’re counting comic book characters, Poison Ivy. I’m a sucker for redheads. ---

Go ahead, hit her up!😉 ETA, [this](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Possible_(character)#Age) says she was around 18 when the show ended, so she’s 21+ now. ---

You want the short list? Tygra. Peter Pan. The Joker. The Riddler. There’s many more, but they were mostly aesthetic and/or a desire to mother them (poor poor Jervis…) ---

[/QUOTE] [Tell me about it.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=9164028) I’ll have to admit it, though…Jessica Rabbit? Never did anything for me. Plenty of _other_ bonnie lasses, to be sure. I’ll try and work up the nerve to name some. ---
