hm...paging dr. freud...besides an assortment of
lifeguards and my older sisters' cute friends:
1. Prince Charming from "Sleeping Beauty." No,
really.
2. Brian Henning circa 2nd grade - pretty blue eyes
and very polite, not like the other boys on the
playground.
3. God help me, but Robin Zander on the cover of my
sister eileen's Dream Police lp. Now I realize he
really needed a good conditioner.
4. Michael Jackson circa Thriller. My whole 6th
grade class was obsessed with him.
5. Michael Knight, because of his cool car, and
Remington Steele for the groovy accent.
6. Only one that remains to this day: David Bowie.
First, last, always...was that from "The Hunger," or
"Cat People?" Anyway, I remember looking at elder
bro's LPs for hours, esp. Scary Monsters and Aladin
Sane, and wondering if boys would be like that when i
grew up. They weren't.
I gotta say, there were not many actual heartthrobs
that my heart throbbed for, but David Cassidy was
pretty smoking. I feel, however, that he was a little
before my time, or maybe I just wasn't paying
attention. The Brady boys were all totally lame, and
on Gilligan - well, maybe the Professor, if he had
managed to actually get them off the damn island.
What's your problem, dude? You can make a radio out of
a coconut but you can't find land within a
three-hour-tour radius? Puh-lease: a girl's gotta have
her standards, and you'd never catch Prince Phillip
being so dumb. Oh, and Hogan from Hogan's Heroes was
totally hot, but Richard Dawson was much cuter than
him at that time. Also Grizzley Adams.
Yikes, indeed!
youthfully yours,
--kelly
np: the instructor in the class I'm supposed to be
paying attention to right now.
