People you really used to fancy in the olden days

[DameDoom]

I was bloody obsessed with Barry Gibb, Dave from Shawaddywaddy, Alvin Stardust and later Richard Clayderman the wet pianist.
To be fair, I still fancy Barry .

Slightly concerned by the people crushing on cartoon foxes!

I had a thing for Wesley Crusher (though I should be clear, I was about 9 at the time), then moved on to Tom Paris, Will Riker and Julian Bashir depending on what was on at the time. So basically, I was just obsessed with Star Trek. Some things never change

The olden days were my parents era, not mine..

Not sure my adult children would agree...

Don Johnson in Miami Vice
Bruce Willis in Moonlighting
Tom Berenger
Patrick Swayze
Richard Gere

All old, bald or dead now.

How could I forget Kurt Russell in Overboard. Jason Donovan too.
My most obscure is probably Jesse Birdsall when he was in El Dorado...bloody awful soap, but it was worth it for him, was absolutely obsessed with him at the time.

Mick hucknell. When he had the dreadlocks.

David Essex
Sacha Distel
David Soul

Post puberty

Jenny Seagrove - a woman of substance
Winona Ryder
Marmalade Atkins ( during puberty I think)
Wendy James - trans vision vamp ( was disgusted when she dated Roland rivron)
Susana Hoffs ( the one with the big eyes in the bangles)
Becky from Roseanne
patsy kensit
And Terry duckworth was an exception to the trend.
I also hated Bros, Spandeau Ballet, and Duran Duran because the girls I liked in school fancied them.

Brings back memories of dreadful sexual frustration as I only learned to “sort myself out”at around 15 and would still take ages.

David van Day!

“Dies of shame”

John Taylor from Duran Duran. Still think he's bloody handsome, too!

Donny Osmond

I had such a crush on Nasher from FGTH, too. Frankie were definitely the band of my teens. My first concert. I can even remember the exact date and I still have the ticket. sentimental
