Crushes Then and Now

WELCOME to my 250th post in this blog.

Linking in with Listmania 3 at Home Life Simplified and Kirsty at My Home Truths for Confessions - Crushes Past and Present  :

Past :
I couldn't go past Tom Selleck (Magnum PI) for my last teenage crush - man I loved that moustache of his and the way he used to jump into that little red convertible.  I even named a teddy after him !!!!  I still own said teddy (although now he sits in a black garbage bag along with some other mementos of my childhood).
David Cassidy - oh that hair
Donny Osmond - I was so sure he was singing to me !!!
Bay City Rollers - those clothes and shoes !
Jacques Kallis - I don't really know what attracted me to him but he was just a good overall package
John Travolta - wasn't he also singing to me and whirling me around the dance floor in Saturday Night Fever ?

Present :
Hugh Jackman - who doesn't love Hugh ?  I am so sorry I never got to see him perform The Boy from Oz - I am sure I would have loved it !
Gary Ablett - I love his bald head
George Bailey - has the nicest smile and appears to be very much the gentleman
And, as soppy as it is, I am adding A in here - after being together for 27 years I still have a crush on him !!!!

Here's to a fantastic week everyone.  Just got back from Dr Maxine (at least is what I call her because she reminds me of the cartoon character !!!) - THERE. IS. A. REASON. FOR. WHY. I. FEEL. LIKE. I. DO - and it is treatable - WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-BLOODY-HOOOOOOOOOOO !!!  I cannot tell you how I feel right now and, as she said, it may not fix all the problems but it will certainly go a long way towards helping me feel better !!

    Well I may of been born in the late 70's but I still grew up knowing, watching and perhaps fancying some of those on your list as I grew into my pre-teens watching re-runs.

      I think so many of these programs had re-runs - some of them were so good at the time but when you look at them now you can see the (sometimes) bad acting and lack of continuity at times - but it's all good !!!!
      Have the best day and take care of yourself !

    fantastic news about Dr Maxine! I hope beyond hope that she helps you and puts you on the right track to feeling yourself again! And awwww, so sweet that you mention A! I have to admit, I didn't have a crush on Tom Selleck back then, but have you ever seen Blue Bloods? The latest TV cop drama he's in? I LOVE IT! And love HIM in it! He makes the show! Hope you have a great week L! xo

    The Bay City Rollers!! They lived just a few miles from where I grew up, and we were all mad about them. Well, it was a long time ago.

    Good news - I hope the new information and treatment helps. And I love your list of crushes then and now - Magnum PI was awesome and Tom Selleck always came across as a bit of a cheeky man. I like a cheeky man! Thanks again for linking up with I Must Confess!
