Do you have a crush?

[carebear]

This is my first time on this thread. I was only barely aware of its existence.
All the controversy about Lounge crushes (how anyone could have a crush on someone they never met impresses me -- my imagination is not vivid enough to do that, and it's pretty vivid) aside --

I have a crush.
She's the cutest girl I have ever met ...
Rather chubby, very talkative although inscrutable.
The softest skin in the world.
A swaying walk like a mechanical monkey.
Deep, dark eyes, a ready smile, a most infectious laugh.
She has a tendency to cry, though ...

I have a crush on my 13 month old daughter. My wife has a crush on her too! So do many people who meet her.
Neither my wife nor I can stop kissing her bald little head.
Those little chubby limbs! See picture at left.

Here is to little Dominika and the biggest crush I (or my wife) ever had!

She fortunately appears to look nothing like her father.

It's amazing, babies are perhaps the most common miracle, but each one is insurpassable in its own way. For any father (or uncle ) of a girl or girls, his ability to appreciate any other women than his wife and daughters (or nieces) becomes rather thin rather quickly.

Congratulations, even now, daddy Doran. :eusa_clap

I've never heard of Lena Horne, she's gorgeous.

Well I don't tend to crush on "famous" people very much, but if I had to pick two, I'd go with:

celebrity chef, Nigella Lawson:

Her British accent just sweetens the deal...

A lovely English rose.

A lovely English rose.

Indeed--those looks, that sense of humor, and cooks to boot! If only she weren't...
1. married and
2. of sufficient age to pass for my mother... I mean, the "older woman" thing has some limits, ya know?

Whu...whu...whu...WHAT?!!

For a lot of us, it's based on assumptions--that what we're seeing in text and posted photos is pretty much the real deal. (In my case, it's largely based on high confidence that someone on for something stupid would pick a less-dangerous target that also has more to offer... plus the very limited "pattern-analysis" I do on all of you trying to get a rough sense of people's character. Jack and Feraud weren't the only ones who went on "point" about a certain unnamed "ex-Lounger of 1000 Faces", for example...)

Bottom line, if she has good character and any kind of looks, she's crushworthy in my book.

You can assume whatever you want, but if you don't actually know someone, their words can mean anything to anyone. Everyone sees our words differently. What might be pert to someone, may be highly annoying to someone else. So if you don't know someone, you are just making them into what you want them to be. If someone isn't what you thought, are they a fake, or were you wrong?

 

[Diamondback]

And that's the rub, isn't it, Miss B? To be honest, I tend to believe that if the "threat profile" comes back clean, I can try to work around everything else.

Honestly, you'd be wrong. If someone turns out not to be what you thought they would when you met them, it's not their fault. The problem that I see today, is that people don't have much patience for the little things; things that can be overlooked. Maybe it's unrealistic expectations.[huh]

Betty Hutton!!1!
Goofy, sweet, glamorous, and built!

I second Betty Hutton. She was cute as a button.

My word, she is only about a year older than my crush. All the more for me, I say. My crush is also married.

I absolutely agree!!! One step away from a looney tune but I've had a big crush on her for years!

She gave a really intense interview with Robert Osborne as an old lady. She had a lot of serious hardships over her life and yet was an absolute doll, life didn't break her - even though it tried. You really just wanted to take this old lady and hug her by the end of the interview. It's on Turner Classic Movies occasionally, it's a must see!

Swell! My gal has a tee-vee - I'll ask her to keep an eye peeled...

Well, I'm still on the SandRG-L thread! But he did make quite an effort to make sure I could come out last night--the visit followed a text message and a voicemail that I didn't answer 'cause my phone was off. It was nice and cozy, a jam session with his friends at midnight.

So...maybe. Maybe!!
