friday five: the crush

At RevGals Songbird invites our hearts to go pitty-patty on the subject of crushes. It's been awhile since my memory went down that lane!

1) Did you ever have a crush on a teacher?
Yes. He was my high school English teacher (junior year). He was good-looking, of course, but he was also kind, attentive (in the listening sense), and had a gentle manner. I also remember that his brother played for the New Orleans Saints. Way back when!

2) Who was your first crush?
Close to home, I honestly couldn't tell you. But in the celebrity world there was Bobby Sherman and Donny Osmond. Donny gets pooh-poohed a lot, but after seeing him on Dancing with the Stars I stand ready to affirm that my instincts were right about him. He's a decent, down to earth guy with a great sense of humor.

3) Have you ever given a gift to a crush?
Does throwing a set of love beads to Bobby Sherman on stage count?

4) Do you have a celebrity crush? (Around my house we call them TV boyfriends and girlfriends...)
Ah, now you're talking.
In the acting world: Richard Gere, way back when, but now he's so last year. I enjoy regular doses of Mark Harmon, and especially love the sheepish little smile that masks the affection he has for his team on NCIS. Deeper down, Tom Skerritt is my man. Ever since Picket Fences. The description of his looks as rugged come closer to reality as he ages, but I still find my heart skipping a beat when I see him (even when he plays a rogue).
In the music industry: Ty Herndon (country). Just watch his Steam video and tell me he's not hot.
5) Have you ever been surprised to find yourself the crushee?
A time or two, and sadly, the crusher was of no interest to me. Ah, such is life and love.

I'm trying to remember what Bobby Sherman looked like--that name sounds very familiar. I'm with you on the Mark Harmon, hadn't remembered him. It's the boat building that I like. Oh, those country crooners are something too. I try to not watch too much or I'll be the one throwing beads!

I watched Bobby Sherman on "Here Come the Brides," but I preferred the other brothers: David Soul and especially Robert Brown, who played the oldest.

I listen to country music and you are so right about Ty Herndon--he's gotta be one of the most gorgeous men on the planet. And so masculine--a man's man. The Steam video is great but watch the No Mercy video. All those muscles. And you get to see almost every inch of his naked body. He looks like a Greek statue!
