So to speak.

StarsInTheNightSky · 18/07/2015 21:45

Sorry Wagglebee gotta try to draw people over to the dark side so that I don't feel like such a delinquent! Grin

WaggleBee · 18/07/2015 21:46

Grin I admire your commitment.

Hmm, the eyeliner thing probably explains why I managed to have simultaneous crushes on Billy Idol, Dave Gahan, Dave Vanian, Adam Ant and Siouxie Soux for a brief time in the 1980s. It is the only common denominator.

musicforthemasses · 18/07/2015 21:54

Tim Curry, Adam Ant, David Bowie and OOOOOH Dave Gahan, my awakening!

ConcreteElephant · 18/07/2015 22:01

I adored TC in Rocky Horror. Bogeyface is right though!

I was completely shocked when I saw photos of him recently. The stroke he had has ravaged his health, it's awful.

Woofsaidtheladybird · 18/07/2015 22:02

Ohh yesss.
Tim Curry in RHPS!!!
That bit when he first comes down in the lift and that guitar goes nyyywwwaaaang and Susan Sarandon screams and he's all 'How d'you do....'
My video of this in 6th form back in the 80s got extremely worn out!
And yy to Richard Chamberlain in The Thorn Birds!
Michael Praed in Dynasty!
And any bloke really in a Jackie mag photo love story.
SiiiiighSmile

PerspicaciaTick · 18/07/2015 22:09

Ooh, and Michael Praed as Robin Hood.

StarsInTheNightSky · 18/07/2015 22:32

How about Robert Beltran as Chakotey in Star Trek Voyager, mmmmm Grin

Chesntoots · 18/07/2015 22:37

Michael Praed as Robin Hood. My goodness!! I need a lie down....

Sparklingbrook · 18/07/2015 23:22

Phwoar.

YellowBucket · 18/07/2015 23:22

Ooooo stars had forgotten about Chakotey.

dd is getting to the age waggle where we argue over who gets who. I called Hook first non-sparkly rumplestiltskin has a certain arrogance that I like too

Redglitter · 18/07/2015 23:51

Nah still does nothing for me Twartface I've seen clips etc but no thanks you can keep him Wink

Hamiltoes · 18/07/2015 23:57

Yellow glad its not just me who has a certain something for rumples arrogance. Great character, but hook its just amazing.

Surprised no one has mentioned the lost boys? That film was a sexual awakening. Teenybobs can shove their twilight Wink

Yellow Yes! Blush No eyeliner, although I'm only on season 2 so maybe he discovers the MAC counter later on. Grin Hamil Not just you and also agree with Lost Boys.

WaggleBee · 19/07/2015 00:08

So, arrogance, leather, wafty white shirts and eyeliner seems to be the formula.

And dirty dirty grins of course.

Anthony Head as FnF - I'm having palpitations now! Did the YouTube search as suggested by PP and found this:

I had a massive teenage crush on him when he was the Gold Blend man and went on a school trip to see him in Chess, but he left a couple of weeks beforehand Angry.

As for Guyliner...'nuff said!

Just been reminding myself of TC's all-round fabulousness.

SwedishEdith · 19/07/2015 01:19

Only just realised recently how fanciable Mick Ronson is. Bit late now though.

missingmumxox · 19/07/2015 01:32

Oh my! The Flashing Blade. Badly dubbed French but I didn't care.

JacquesHammer · 19/07/2015 10:20

Manhatten - have you seen a YouTube vid of the Thorn Birds done to Elton John's Original Sin? Oh. MY.

YY to TC - utterly hot. David Bowie also and Johnny Depp.

Long hair, guyliner, skinny black jeans. YUM

Woofsaidtheladybird · 19/07/2015 11:05

Ooooooh just realised....

Patricia Quinn (who played Magenta)'s nephews are in Snow Patrol.

She's also Stepmother to Toby Stephens (Maggie Smith's son) who is married to someone who I used to go to school with.Smile

I remember seeing Tim curry in Pirates of Penzance when I was little and wondering why my mum was so giggly....!
