To love fangirling

I'm currently fangirling over a male celebrity - so am doing the usual - looking up every YouTube clip of him that's ever been recorded ... Looking up every internet nugget about him.

I was attracted to him cos of his good looks - coincidentally we appear to have had similar upbringings in SOME ways from what I've read!!

Ah there's worse ways to spend a weekday evening !!

Autocorrect at first changed 'similar' upbringings to 'solidarity' upbringings - as far as I know neither of us was brought up by a 1980s Polish political party ....

Back in the day I kept a scrapbook of Eminem Blush

Sting.
Alvin Stardust (early seventies, nothing like adam ant).
I'm over invested in this thread.

Why not? My head's fucked, basically.

WoburnSands · 17/08/2016 22:38

I don't know who it is. But I'm older than you. I go through various crushes. Dave Grohl was one for a while. He's not my current one.

WoburnSands · 17/08/2016 22:39

Whatabout - don't know what you mean!!??

Marilyn.
Boy George. Though the clothes...

WoburnSands · 17/08/2016 22:41

LassWi - I'll now go and Google Dave Grohl as my musical knowledge is not that extensive - I.e I've heard the name - that's about it!!

Dave Grohl is hot. That's true.

IggyPopsicle · 17/08/2016 22:49

Dave Grohl is a stunner but I think I prefer Josh Homme.

I think.

Hmm no, to be fair I think I would let Dave stay over during the week, then Josh could come over at the weekends. Yeah, that would work Grin

raisedbyguineapigs · 17/08/2016 22:50

Dave Grohl is quite hot! As is Paul Rudd! Hmm.. close to Adam Ant. I cant think of who and i loved Adam Ant. He's more '80's too

timelytess · 17/08/2016 22:51

Phil Oakey.

Bathsheba · 17/08/2016 22:52

I do want it to be Shaky...

IggyPopsicle · 17/08/2016 22:55

Is it a Bee Gee? Please say it's a Bee Gee 😵

redisthenewblack · 17/08/2016 22:56

I have VIP tickets to see Boyzlife in October and I'm so excited to get to meet Keith Duffy I feel physically sick when I think about it.

On a normal day to day basis I'm a massive heavy metal fan, tattooed, pierced, etc. You'd never think I fangirl over boy bands to look at me, but I grew up in the 90s so I have an excuse! Grin

WoburnSands · 17/08/2016 22:58

No!! You're all going further away!!!

Close in age to Adam Ant....

OP posts:
timelytess · 17/08/2016 22:58

BeeGees were nothing like Adam Ant.
John Travolta was nearer. But still distant.

WoburnSands · 17/08/2016 22:59

redisthenewblack - Keith was on Celebrity Juice last night and looked great - he's still got it!

redisthenewblack · 17/08/2016 23:00

Woburn they're all getting better with age!

WoburnSands · 17/08/2016 23:01

No much closer than Travolta. Adam Ant mentions him in his book - they emerged from the same scene so if you've got Adam Ant - you're in the right ballpark ...

IggyPopsicle · 17/08/2016 23:04

timely I know, they couldn't be more different. Mind you, weren't they heart throbs as well, back in the day? Hairy chests, medallions, big collars, skin tight trousers....yumm....I mean, bleurgh!!

timelytess · 17/08/2016 23:05

Adam Ant is a little older than me. I know that because when I found out, I thought 'If I'd known that at the time, I'd have gone looking for him'. Erm...
Kevin Mooney. Too close.
