But I recall Lightning being ok as well, not a patch on Jet mind you. On the subject of Lightning, she did some sort of signing at the height of the Gladiators craze in my home town. I didn't go but a friend of a friend went and he bragged that he'd given her a proper snog. Completely did not believe it, until he showed us a photo two weeks later (film development time!), and in that little snapshot it did look like he was telling the truth but when you factor in its a quick one off pic, the angle was inconclusive, there would have been quite a line of people waiting for a signature and oh yeah I was 10-11 at the time and he was a year younger so I highly doubt it was exactly how he says it was. I don't think Lightning was prepared to potentially out herself in front of a load of watching eyes too! I don't think I have many new ones to add to who has already been mentioned. The likes of Jet, Kylie (who I believe was my first celeb crush), Janine Melnitz (cartoon version) Clarissa explains it all/Sabrina. But I remember watching Labyrinth about 1991 ish, and oh my God, Jennifer Connelly was too cute. In the days before on screen TV guides and the internet it took me ages to realise/find out her name. Probably had to wait a year til the film was repeated on TV. Panther was the thinking mans favourite Gladiator... and by thinking, i mean pulling the head off it.

Paid Members Surf Digby Posted January 4, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted January 4, 2023 I had very early obsessions with Toyah Wilcox (circa 1981 when she used to appear on Razzmatazz), and Barbara Dickson (so I've been told), but the first women that I had any kind of romantic thoughts about were characters, more than real people. The main two I remember are Princess Leia (obviously), and Yori from Tron.  My Grandad used to insist I had a thing for Ilia from Star Trek: The Motion Picture too, and while she was certainly very attractive, I think it was more the curiosity factor of seeing a bald woman for the first time. I think the first real person I had a crush on was Phoebe Cates. She was super cute in Gremlins, but she was also in some late night saucy soap opera called Lace 2, which I discovered when the TV Times was considerate/irresponsible enough to use an image similar to this for it. I still have a load of old annuals and books from this time period, and suspect that the picture is still tucked away in one of them. I did give considerable though to Princess from Battle Of The Planets flashing her pants in the opening credits. It's not like she did it by accident.

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted January 4, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted January 4, 2023 You must have loved Fast Times At Ridgmont High. I mean it's an entertaining movie anyway, but that's not really the point I'm making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra_gordo Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 My first real crush was Natalie Portman, from the moment I saw her in Mars Attacks at the cinema when I was 11, right through my teens and even in to my early twenties. When I was 13 it was Eliza Dushku in Buffy The Vampire Slayer and then Selma Blair in Cruel Intentions when I was 14 so I definitely have a type. Then again, when I was four or five I remember having a bit of a thing for both Dorien off Birds Of A Feather and Blanche from Golden Girls.

SuperBacon Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) My GRANDAD fancied Dorien, what the fuck is the matter with you? She's of an age that she should only be fancied by Grandads....and possibly Thunderplex. Edited January 4, 2023 by SuperBacon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted January 4, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted January 4, 2023 There's definitely something Freudian about it. Presumably it was the suggested sexual promiscuity (albeit probably not at the age of 5) , likewise whoever it was that mentioned Rose from Keeping Up Appearances. Crikey, when I was 5 the women from media in my life were Teela and the Sorceress from off of out of Hé-Man, and Floella Benjamin on Playschool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Coconut Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) I can vouch for the Dorien Effect. For me it was the ’she could teach me a thing or two' side of it. Blanche too. Phwoooooar!

A bit of cleavage on show for any young man is enough. Unless it was the one who went on to play Edna Bitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
