kali921 tagged me for this.
[1] - List your top 10 celebrity crushes.
I'm following Kali, and and chosing people of historical interest as much as current ones. And I'm completely ignoring point 2, as clearly when Angelina's reading my journal I don't want to upset her. I'm nice like that.
[2] - Put all of them IN ORDER of your lust for them.
[3] - Say which movie/show/thing it was that hooked you.
[4] - Supply photos for said people.
[5] - Tag five people! Ptth. As if I'll do that. Okay - I'd like to see
bustedwonder and
kenix's, because I like giving excuses to my artists to why they're not working.
Initial notes: I'm really shit at this sort of thing.
That'll do.
SARAH NIXEY
Black Box Recorder's silver-spoon-still-in-mouth vocalist, now solo act. I have a nagging suspicion that Moore and Haines actually constructed her in some Frankenstein-esque fashion, so perfect she is for the whole BBR thing. A mixture of practised poise and sex-as-intimidation, she's as English as an affair.
Hell, let's have a large photo of her with her lovely bandsmates Luke Haines and John "Future Husband" Moore.
I'd sleep with Haines, clearly, but he wouldn't reach my list of lust objects.
DONNA MATHEWS
Everyone else went for Justine, clearly, but setting up my career of fancying secondary songwriters in bands rather than the lead, I went for Guitarist/Vocalist/Drug-addict Donna Mathews. Circa Britpop, the ideal model for a girlfriend. The mixture of big eyes and hair-dye is a classic.
ANGELINA JOLIE
There's an old running joke over on the V that my conciousness has somehow been transfered into Jolie's body (Leading to teh memorable poll "Would you sleep with Angelina Jolie if it was Kieron's mind inside it?". The point being, I'd do whatever it takes to get inside Angelina Jolie.
Thankyouverymuch.
Can't remember when I first decided I craved. I think it may have been when she paired up with Billy-Bob and in one celeb-party picture looked the very model of famous decadence and corruption. She's an obvious person to fancy but... well, sex is sometimes all about the obvious. Objecting to Angelina is like objecting to blow-jobs: You're only hurting yourself if you do.
KATE WINSLET
I've dug Kate since I saw Heavenly Creature back in 94, where she took the position of favourite English Rose until my tastes darkened into Sarah Nixey. Also, she was referred to in a letter to Amiga Power, sparked a very minor AP running gag in the form of
"Kinked-eyebrow girl from heavenly Creatures". Eyebrows, eyes, lips and 'tude.
CLARE DANES
Who doesn't do much for me now, but circa and after My (So-called) Life - running into Romeo And Juliet - was the emo-side of my personality's ideal girl.
MARIE DU SANTIAGO
In terms of Kenickie, everyone else went for Lauren - who I only grew into after she became a bloody TV presenter - but I preferred the walking thunder-goddess that is Marie Du Santiago. Dig the heart shaped face, the enormous aggressive playful arrogance and the curves. And how could I not fancy the girl who sang Acetone?
BELINDA CARLISLE
Who, in my youth, takes the position of the first time I ever bought a record because I wanted to sleep with the singer. Which is always the best of reasons. Very early example of my tendency towards anyone who'll turn their hair red.
LUCY LIU
Shame I'm using this photo, really as it *almost* has her smiling in it, which is when I go off Liu hugely. It's like watching a TITANIC DEATH MACHINE trying to crack a grin. THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU'RE FOR. Fits neatly into the category of girls I dig marked "Extremely Intimidating", I've liked her since the period when I started at Gamer, crashed into the shared house I was living in and drunkenly shouted at Ally McBeal on the TV.
JAYNE MANSFIELD
Satanism, nyphomania, decapitation and a bust. What's there not to like?
BETTY BOO
Everyone loved Betty Boo, Scots/Malaysian early-nineties pop-princess. Tuff and funny and just plain beautiful - lips, skin, eyes and a LOT of 'tude. From the "Doin' the Doo" video where she walks into the school in THAT leather outfit, I was hers.
GWEN STEFFANI
Why to like Gwen? Marrying the glam perxoide thing to the ska-punkess works, but managing to cojoin a personality that's both sexy and big-sister (quasi-incest unintended) is quite the achievement too. Also: Devotion to crop tops above and beyond the call of duty/lj-cut>
