At the moment, I have a crush on [D’Arcy](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ludxedSaqf1qc3d79o1_400.jpg) [Wretzky](http://www.female-musician.com/image-files/2.jpg) from the Smashing Pumpkins, in the mid 90s.

So many people, usually.

And I don’t much like it. It can interfere with seeing them as people. At least, I’m afraid it does, and I try to prevent that.

Elvis in the 50’s. He was so, so hot.

Richard Chamberlain in _The Thornbirds_. One of my first crushes- very painful 8th grade unrequited love for me. He was sexy.

Barack Obama. Regardless of your opinion of him as POTUS, you have to admit that he is charming and sexy as hell. If you can’t admit it, then I will. Michelle is a lucky woman.

And many more.

[Don Glover](http://www.ames247.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Donald-Glover.jpg)

[Tupac](http://s3.amazonaws.com/rapgenius/filepicker%2FpUs5zDqZRfimpLE1dMKm_2pac_shakur.jpg) for oh like the last 17 years…wow that makes me feel old and lame, but I love him just as much as I did when I was 14

And [Dr. House](http://img1.findthebest.com/sites/default/files/279/media/images/Hugh_Laurie_2.jpg), for some reason (not Hugh Laurie although he’s extremely talented and cool and probably sexy if you’re into that type of dude)

[T.I.](http://thissongissick.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/T.I..jpg) also as long as he shuts the fuck up and just looks pretty

Sigourney Weaver, circa Ghostbusters. She’s still damned hot, mind you, but back then, she was off the scale.

That’s not true.

I was just watching _The Assassination Bureau_ and I can confirm Diana Rigg was still hot in 1969.

My heart beats faster for foreign men:

Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock  
Michael Fassbender  
Jude Law

And I always have a love affair for Robert Downey Jr and Alan Rickman.

My biggest crush was Barbra Eden from when I was a kid.

Then, in the 90’s, I watched a bio of her on TV and fell in love with her again once I realized what a cool person she was. Not your typical celeb, that’s for sure.

Tiffany Amber Thiessen (or however she spells it), back when she was on whatever show that was in her teens. (Saved By The Bell?)  
Courtney Thorne-Smith, back when she was on whatever show that was in her teens. (Melrose Place?)  
Bridget Fonda, circa 1995.  
Mrs. Kotter, circa 1977. Bralessness was, and remains, a huge turn-on during my pre-teen years.
