Who was your first celebrity crush?
Submitted by Glory.
This is just effing embarrassing.
When I reviewed this question this morning, my answer sprung immediately (and quite uncomfortably) to mind. I wasn't ready to divulge that...so I called my mother to see if I liked her answer any better. The conversation was priceless.
Me: Mom...who was my first celebrity crush, you recall?
Mom: *thinks*...begins humming a New Edition song.
Me: *remembers when New Edition came out, remembers I was in about seventh grade* Ronnie DeVoe? Nah...he was the first big one...but I had one pre-puberty. I know he wasn't the first.
Mom: oh they came out that late? That's right. *thinks again* What about the Reading Rainbow guy?
Me: *has painful images of Geordi LaForge and erupts in laughter* LAVAR BURTON? I NEVER HAD A CRUSH ON HIM!!!! Good GAWD! Reading Rainbow didn't come on until the other two were pre-school age Mom. I was already 12 or so by then. *Mom and I pee our pants laughing for nearly five minutes*
Mom: How in the hell do you expect me to remember this stuff? Oh wait...wait...no, I remember. Who was that guy? Blonde hair, you met him at the car show when you were eight? The guy from the Dukes of Hazzard?
Me: *sighs* Dammit. I knew it. *bangs head on desk* You sure it wasn't anyone else? Anyone?
Mom: Oh no baby. You were ALL over him. Him and Buck Rogers. But I think you liked Buck Rogers style more than anything else.
(*disclaimer* I was EIGHT. Get off my back. I had limited television access)
