Celebrity Crush

Nothing deep today readers. I’ve been thinking about celebrity crushes! Who is your celebrity crush? Come on, you know you have one. We all do.  I’m not talking about the star you admire because of the life they live, their charity work, their brilliant mind, or even their wealth. I’m thinking about the star you find hot, and sexy, and you would think for a few seconds if they said to you, “It’s me or your spouse?”.  I, not having a spouse, wouldn’t even need a few seconds. What time do we leave?

What does a celebrity crush represent? I don’t know for sure. I suppose it represents our ideal in good looks and attractiveness.   Maybe it serves to elevate how we feel about our own looks. Yes, he/she would want to be with me! Maybe it is pure escapism. Every minute I spend thinking about my crush is a minute I don’t have to think about my bills, my health, my relationships, nor the state of our nation.

I’ll confess. My celebrity crush is Scarlett Johansson. I think I may have seen her first in Lost in Translation. She was in an intimate relationship with Bill Murray.  Bill Murray! Heck, I’m better looking than Bill Murray. Well at least I think so. Haha.  Then when I saw her in Match Point, that sealed the deal! Oh my!

I even have a “celebrity crush emeritus”…Marilyn Monroe. Not much needs to be said there. If my male readers were being honest, she would probably be the crush emeritus for lots of them.

I had a celebrity crush when I was six years old. Kathy Lennon from the Lennon Sisters of Lawrence Welk fame. I remember sitting around the TV watching The Lawrence Welk Show with my parents. Eventually, the Lennon Sisters would come on and set my six year old heart aflutter!

Over the years I have had an ever shifting roster of celebrity crushes. Some I can remember are Sally Struthers, Patty Duke, Catherine Ross, Ann Margret, and Mary Ann from Gilligan’s Island (yes, I am on Team Mary Ann… Ginger was just too glamorous).

So what does all this mean? I don’t think it has a meaning, It’s one of the fun parts of being a human being…the chance to dream and imagine.

I hope today’s post made you think about celebrity crushes in your life.  And I hope that gives you a little smile and a nice thought to get you through your day.
