For me it’s part Suicide Girls look, part bubbly personality, and part she looks like an actual, yanno, person one could run into at a bar. And she’s just that age that I find sexy, the mid to late thirties.

And she totally looks like she drinks tequila. Rawr.

He’s not a WTF as far as I’m concerned. Mike Rowe is extremely sexy.

Thanks for that validation **Homebrew**. During his Puddy days is when I first noticed him and you’re right, the voice has a lot to do w/it. I shamefully DVR that stupid TV show _Rules of Engagement_ just for the underwear and shorts scenes, the rest of the show I loathe.

**lissener** the pictures you’ve posted are from Dragonard. Man I love that movie especially when Warburton gets the 100 lashes w/the Dragonard. Gosh after that scene I’m generally just reduced to a puddle of liquid and goo on the floor.

Heck I even get the tingles over Joe Swanson from Family Guy just b/c it’s Warburton’s voice.

It’s good to find others w/the same appreciation. I’ve caught a lot of flak over the years for this crush. Funny thing is that my husband who is the same size/body type, age and has the same hair color as Warburton is the main culprit of this teasing.

My two dirty little secret women are:

[Amanda Plummer](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001625/)

And:

[Joan Cusack](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000349/)

Something about the awkward/goofy chicks that make me want to do dirty, dirty things to them. I’ll even confess my adolescent crush:

[Christine McGlade of You Can’t Do That on Television.](http://www.ycdtotv.com/cast/mcglade.html)

I was a dirty, dirty minded little boy.

You and me both, brother. I remember thinking she was like Lynda Carter, only my age.

Back when The Donna Reed Show was on ,I lusted after her and Shelly Fabraes her TV daughter at the same time. Might be a little sick.

Those with the crush on the Progressive chick may want to look for her in the Lying Glade Lady yoga commercial. She has on a lot less makeup but she still gets to be sassy. And she’s wearing a yoga outfit and doing downward dog.

I came on to post this one too.

I also get WTF looks for Andy Garcia and Paul Newman because they are/were older than my friends and I. When my husband told me Paul Newman died, I shrugged and said, “I’d still do him.” The look of absolute horror on my husband’s face was priceless.

I forgot her name, but she was the woman that played Roseanne’s sister, Jackie. I went crazy over her when she was in the movie JFK, and had that 60s MILF hairdo.  
Also, Courtney Love.  
Also, Sarah/Sandra? Bernhardt.  
That’s it for now.

In Jr. High, all of my girlfriends were crazy about Shaun Cassidy…I much preferred Parker Stevenson (the ONLY Hardy Boy for me.)

I still have a mad crush on Dr. Alex Stone from the Donna Reed show.

Oh, and a huge, huge crush on Baretta (when I was in Jr. High.!)

If all it takes to qualify for WTF is being “old”, then everyone on my list qualifies.

Barry Manilow and Gene Wilder, both in their seventies now? I don’t care!

Alan Rickman, Scott Bakula, Dean Stockwell, Alice Cooper, Steve Buscemi, Harvey Keitel…I’d walk barefoot over broken glass to get a piece of your wrinkled old ass.

Mike Rowe and Weird Al are also acceptable, despite their relative youth.

[Brian Molko.](http://www.brianmolko.co.uk/gallery/briangallery/gallery6/large/614.jpg) Most of my friends don’t agree with me. They just aren’t into the bold elegance of somewhat-gothy men in makeup. I don’t understand it. They’re missing out. _shakes head sadly_

Dude! Not without a Level 4 biocontainment area. :eek:

I am not one of those women who becomes confusedly attracted to homosexual men in real life, yet I have very special feelings for Neil Patrick Harris, Malcolm Gets, and Eric Hyde Pierce. I think it’s because they all played straight in roles I really liked them in. Damn actors! 😃

I have also had sex dreams about Seth Green, Drew Carey, and Seth Rogen. I am not proud of this.

Oh, and Harvey Keitel, for which I blame _The Piano_.

I though that was her!

My WTF crush is Billy Boyd. Yes, Pippin from the LOTR series. I’m pretty sure it’s the accent.
