Do you have a crush?

[pgoat]

I haven't had a crush in a long long time but for about two weeks in 1989 or so I suffered through multiple chain-viewings of this monstrosity just so I could sigh and swoon over this lil minx (Britta Phillips):

She later popped up as the bassist of Luna......

.....where she continued making many a fan boy's jaw drop across the country. Alas for them, she is firmly hooked up with Dean Wareham, and they have made a happy couple for many years (they also loooook maahhhhhvellousss, imho):

If you like reading about crushes/wishes coming true Dean tells his story in the new issue of GQ (? - with Daniel Day Lewis on the cover) I was just skimming the article in the supermarket which reminded me of my youthful obssession and this thread....

Sadly, I did NOT know that Dean left a wife and young son to hook up with his bassist......oh, well.....everything has a price, I guess.....[huh]

After reading these posts and seeing all the lovely ladies here, I think I can say yes, I definitely have a crush going on one of these FL cuties!!!!

It's me isn't it?

Don't forget the best part about Britta Phillips is that she was the singing voice of Jem!

You certainly are very crushable, miss Sally. :eusa_clap

Re: Jem


I've never seen that, but yes, for a long time that was the only thing available on the web about her (Other than ugh- Satisfaction). Now of course there's been a lot of Luna and their husband-wife projects online.

I should point out in addition to being cute as a button, playing a feisty character well in that movie, I was smitten by the fact that she hands-down did the best job of 'fake' guitar playing in any film I have ever seen (I play, so I know). Ralph Maccio and Sean Penn were a total joke in comparison.

Steve Cropper plays the bartender in Satisfaction - and the girl band plays a lot of old Stax stuff, so I thought mebbe Steve coached them in where to put their hands (Trini Alvarado does a decent drumming thing, though Julia Roberts looks ridiculous with the bass....). But it turns out Britta was already playing in bands, hence her obviously knowing what she was doing....

not a big deal in retrospect, but nice to see after cringing through so many awful scenes in films for many years. Actors faking musical instruments and athletic pursuits is a real pet peeve of mine.....get someone who can do it convincingly for God's sake (e.g. I am thinking of Katharine Hepburn in Pat and Mike - she looked totally natural alongside a real athlete [Babe Didrikson] and that made the film so much better imho....)

I'm not sure I would define it as a crush, but I get a bit weak in the knees over Tilda Swinton.

Tilda Swinton is amazing. Orlando is one of my favourite films.

I should also point out the lass on Ashes to Ashes

Somewhat embarrassing

Although I have posted in the WWII section, I thought that I should show a more sensitive side to me, even though it is rather embarrassing; my wife dosen't even know this. I have had a crush on Jessica Rabbit since her movie debut.

Crushes?

Vintage: Lauren Bacall
Modern: Nicole Kidman

And finally, what man could not help but get all gushy given the amazing number of incredible looking woman here in the lounge.

Helen, Zaika, Desi: While I don't share your crush on Jack Black at all, I completely agree that personality can really get ya. I've had a crush on Cab Calloway since I was a little girl because of his stage presence.

 

[MrNewportCustom]

Never heard of the Dollyrots, and she looks awfully young for me. When it comes to singers, I gotta throw in my two cents for Diana Krall. Mr. Costello be damned!

I agree wholeheartedly, Lockdown! The first of her CDs that I bought, I picked up because of her picture on the cover. I bought it because I recognized many of the titles. I've purchased more because of her voice.

And, I must admit, I have a bit of a crush on her.

Why limit yourself to just one? Why not go for the clean-sweep, like some others of us?lol

 

[imoldfashioned]

After much waffling, I've come to the conclusion that yes, I officially do have a crush on Joel McHale.

More his personality and outrageous snark, but really, I think he's great overall.

I could see that actually....

I could see that actually....

an ex of mine was in love with that guy

Why haven't you gone for it yet?

Why ruin a perfectly good friendship with confusions of lust and the heart?

Because...
A- you only get one shot at this life

and

B- what we all want out of our ideal mate is a partner and the best partners are best friends.
