Crush of Shame 3: RETURN OF THE LIBIDO!!!

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Honestly, this is going to be the only way to stop me posting random pictures of boys on proper threads. (Well, the Jeff Goldblum pix were all over a non-tthread anyway, so they dont count.)

When I was 19, I had the most shameful crush of them all. I randomly googled in an idol (ha ha, a Freudian slip but I'll leave it) moment and discovered he's still hot!!! Even if he has got short hair now.

― Possibly Kate Again (kate), Saturday, 12 June 2004 19:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh no, and I hit submit and forgot to supply a picture. So that it seems less shameful, I'll post pictures of him pretending to be various members of Spacemen 3:

Look I'm Sonic:

I am so ashamed. But my god, he's still hotttttttttttt!!!!

― Possibly Kate Again (kate), Saturday, 12 June 2004 19:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Kate will well remember my claim of Guns'n'Roses as the ultimate Boy Band, she will...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 12 June 2004 19:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Heh heh, I have just referred my friend Kaliflwr over here so I will post a random picture of Jeff Goldblum (who she refuses to acknowledge the sexiness of) here so she knows that I've gone as far down as I can, so she can post all the goop she likes! Weh-hoo!

Ned, you may be right about that Boyband thing. Check out Boy Crazy USA!

― Possibly Kate Again (kate), Saturday, 12 June 2004 19:48 (twenty-one years ago)

OK, that was five minutes of fun. Bored now. How can broadband get so tedious so fast? I'm gonna go check out the 600 channels of digital TV and see if one of them has Time Team or CSI on.

― Possibly Kate Again (kate), Saturday, 12 June 2004 19:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Be afraid.

Be very afraid.

― Kim (Kim), Saturday, 12 June 2004 20:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Good lord, that's horny teenage boybutt. What are you trying to do to me?

I can remember the exact moment that my libido returned. Cis and Collete and I were sitting in the sun on Broadway Market talking about ... something ... and conversation just stopped as our attention had been completely diverted by this tall, lanky, floppy-blond-haired boy riding lazily by on a bicycle eating a sandwich. Oh good lord.

Tee hee, Kaliflwr, I am *going* to make you post. You are not going to get away with holding up placards that say "Yes, lovely" at me this time!

― Possibly Kate Again (kate), Sunday, 13 June 2004 05:51 (twenty-one years ago)

And BTW, on that TT photo, does anyone else see a kind of Last Supper/Judas thing going on there with Robbie, even at such an early stage? All of the boys have their heads turned one way, while Robbie - THE TRAITOR - has his head turned the other. I'm sure there's a secret Masonic plot behind that somewhere.

― Possibly Kate Again (kate), Sunday, 13 June 2004 06:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Also Gary & Robbie, the talented ones, can confidently show Classic British Pasty Arse, none of this tanned nonsense.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Sunday, 13 June 2004 20:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Heh heh. So true, so true.

Still trying to persuade Kaliflwr to post her Crush Of Shame, but she won't, she thinks people will laugh.

― Apostrophe Catastrophe (kate), Monday, 14 June 2004 07:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Don't know if this really counts as a "crush" since I wake up with him more mornings than not, but still the only one I'm thinking of:

I'm not exactly sure why it's a crush of shame, but:

I don't even think I'm particularly ashamed of this one. I saw the video yesterday at my friend's house, and he kept holding up large cardboard signs going "KATE ST.CLAIRE, PLEASE ADORE ME, CAN I PAINT YOUR TOENAILS?!?!?"

Ah, walking in a Moogie Wonderland...

― Apostrophe Catastrophe (kate), Monday, 21 June 2004 06:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Trying to find a picture of him without a big microphone in his face...

Can you see that sign he's holding up? Can you see it? Can anyone else see it but me and Catty? That big one that says KATE ST.CLAIRE I WANT TO SUCK YOUR TOES!!!

― Apostrophe Catastrophe (kate), Monday, 21 June 2004 07:09 (twenty-one years ago)

OK, I'm going to stop littering up JW's threads on ILM in case he decides to make turnaround fair play...

But just look at these glasses! He's got funny blue ILX glasses, too!

I could have sworn I posted the "pretending to be John Taylor" pictures on this thread. Oh no, where did they go?

OK, this is might be the MOST shameful (I typed MOIST shameful by mistake, whoops, Freudian) one yet, but the GURL on the left clearly wants to paint my toesnails.

I'm really disappointed because he doesn't look that pretty in any other photos I can google up of him.

He was on the cover of some fashion rag though, recently, wasn't he? I remember seeing them plastered all over Shoreditch and thinking "Hmmm!" and then being terribly ashamed when I read who it was. Suck.

― Super-Masonic Black Hole (kate), Friday, 10 September 2004 09:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Somebody please help me! I don't want to have to put up with that racket on the offical site to find photos, but I'm not doing a very good job by myself. What horridible edgy style magazine type thing had him on the cover last month? I'm sure they won't force me to endure drunken Clash fans falling down the stairs.

― Super-Masonic Black Hole (kate), Friday, 10 September 2004 10:10 (twenty-one years ago)

No, it's not my imagination. He didn't used to be that pretty. Maybe it's just a good photo or something. He looks particularly dazed and stupid and dirty. God, help me.

This is really hurting me. I keep finding these intensely homoerotic poses which - if it were ANYONE IN THE WORLD but Cabbage Patch Junkie Kid as the slashee - I would find the ultimate most amazing horny thing in the world, but just the site of his pop-eyes and puffed out cheeks utterly ERASES ANY LUSTFUL IMPULSES FROM MY MIND. Ugh! Ugh! It's just not fair!

You've gone too far this time, Kate. Can't you revive yr prevertalist lust for James Busted instead? Eurgh Libertines slash.

He looks like Alan Cumming in that latest picture - you can fancy him surely. He likes girls as well as boys.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Friday, 10 September 2004 10:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I just can't. He is the living personification of ANTI-LUST. He could deflate a porno set. But he has the prettiest boy in Shoreditch draped around his neck, clutching his mantits. I am in pain!

2) I do *NOT* want anyone at work thinking I'm a ::shudders:: Libertines fan.

But my god, he's hott!

― Super-Masonic Black Hole (kate), Friday, 10 September 2004 11:12 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know what just reminded me of this (hah) but I suddenly just remembered, Joe started quoting The Clash at me yesterday in the middle of one of his big inspirational speech type things. I didn't say anything at the time, but thinking about that, it's hillarious! He freaking HATED The Clash when we got together, and used to take the piss out of me for even owning their albums. And now he's quoting them at me as evidence of his philosophy of life? I don't know why, but that makes me laugh. Like, at least, I had some kind of influence on him. (Though he will never admit it.)

OK I just googles "libertines slash fiction" and one of the hits that popped up is:

My Top Five Favourite Rock'N'Roll Slash Stories...
1. This is what I lost my slash virginity to. It's my favourite... Morrissey/Franz Ferdinand rent-boy scenario!
2. Yummy Suede/Libertines slash goodness... Bernard Butler & Carlos Barat love affair.
3. Carlos and Peter (The Libertines) slash with some leather and mild sado-masochism... *dies*
4. Blur (Damon Albarn and Graham Coxen) slash! From teenage boys to blow jobs and tea.
5. Alex James and Jarvis Cocker build a fort (and get it on)!
Honorable Mentions
1. Libertines (Peter/Carl)... Elevator sex!
2. Morrisey/NME slash!
3. Libertines (Peter/Carl)... In a swimming pool!
4. Mike Joyce/Andy Rourke (The Smiths) slash!
5. Libertines (Peter/Carl)... Before the fame!

Neither! I probably should have posted that on a "separated at birth" thread.

FUCK COOKING A HAT!!!!

"Maybe you should give this whole baking fiasco a rest..."

Jarvis lunges forward into the oven and drags a smoldering-something out from the back of the oven with a spatula. "It was me hat! Not the muffins!" He announces, seemingly satisfied.

"That's your hat?" Alex raises a skeptical eyebrow.

"Yeah."

"Why was it in your oven?"

"Well, I didn't use it really, so I kept all my hats in there. I thought I'd gotten them all, but I guess not, yeah?"

This is just frankly bizarre!

I wish I could find a picture of the Dirty Dronerock one that I got. He really had indierock hair. And a hat. Uuuuuuhhhhh...

That's the "Jammin In Jamaica" version, he's clearly stoned out of his gourd, and the humidity is giving him the edge of a Jewfro.

But yeah, that amp is shite. Even Beyond Pink Barbie had a better amp than that!

You know that when it's hard to find a picture of your crush with clothes on, it's definitely a "crush of shame." Also, her Emmy speech was at the time the most giggly, idiotic thing I've seen on television, and has been eclipsed now only by that horrible travel show with Cameron Diaz. Still, Teri Hatcher. MmmmmmmmMILF!

It's not exactly a crush of shame, but I've developed a sudden thing for Trent Reznor. I've never been that bothered by NIN, but yesterday I was writing a mini-NIN fact file for a WAP site and BANG suddentrentcrush.

― Anna (Anna), Thursday, 21 April 2005 09:00 (twenty years ago)

Trent Reznor? Omigod, that is truly crush of SHAME, but then again, I've heard too much gossip about him from my goff friends in the States.

Nothing wrong with crushing Blue Peter presenters. I crush a Culture Show presenter which is like the grownup version of Blue Peter.

And I know my love for Carlos Barat is wrong, wrong, wrong, but I cannot help it. He mistquotes Voltaire at me and I go all wibbly at the knees.

Though James Busted has been out on £700 drinking binges lately because he misses me so much. Clearly.

I fancy everyone today, Beck, my temporary boss, people I've not seen for four years, one of Bloc Party.

Look, I'm as surprised as the rest of you with my sudden industrial goth love. But, yes, even though most people I go out with are over six foot it might do me good to fancy someone my own height for a change.

Spill gossip this evening please.

there are worse things than fancying trent reznor.
worst possible option is ian astbury during his native american southern death cult phase.
or how about edwina currie. i worked with a bloke who had a thing about her and deial smith - he was my age.
i suppose delia is vaguely understandable in the sense that he was a norwich city fan, you could get shitfaced with her and you'd get a good breakfast the following morning, but edwina currie, really?

― jill schoelen is the queen of my dreams! (Homosexual II), Thursday, 21 April 2005 20:53 (twenty years ago)

No, She is a talking head from MSNBC. I haven't had televison in years, but she used to be on one of the 24 hour news channels when I did. I found her to be embarassingly attractive.

She totally does look like a realtor. I used to do printing work for a company that had real estate ties. I had a long time crush on one of realtors that did regular work with us. I think there is something perverse about realtors; they look so conservative and hooked into consensus reality that you imagine them being completely bananas in the bedroom when the shades are drawn.

Of course, the reality of the situation is that they are completely boring, slight paunchy, middle-aged people with two kids. They are move concerned with gourmet food and getting enough sleep after the kids are in bed than anything particularly lurid or unspeakable. Still, you hope that there is something unconventional going on like bdsm or wifeswapping to make the burbs seem just a little less tedious and respectable.

When one crushes on an actor, does one crush on the actor himself, or the role?

I've been looking at other films Jared Harris was in, and I've seen many of them, and never really noticed him.

It's the way that he raises one eyebrow curiously while lowering the other which produces the right combination to produce an aspect both welcoming and threatening.

OK, time for an update on my recent shameful sexualist crushes:

1) Norma Winstone, the great British jazz singer. Saw her on the Jazz Britannia thing on BBC2 on Friday night. I've always fancied her but at 64 she's still utterly gorgeous, the missing link between Vera Lynn and Roisin Murphy. Sexual without seemingly trying to be.

2) The "Green Goddesses" team I saw on an early morning (4 am!) rerun of Scrapheap Challenge last week, especially the diminutive, cute-but-sneaky leader. I have quite a thing for jolly hockey sticks types (tho' they were actually sexier in their IRL garb of chemists with white coats, oh where's the Xtreme Cheddar...?).

3) I now have a full portfolio of shameful sexualist crushes on GMTV female presenters. Always thought Kate Garraway was the personification of Fenella Frump, but I caught her on Big Brother Little Brother the other teatime. God, she's so much more fanciable when she lets her hair down, gets out of the Primark stuff and smiles knowingly.

It's the way he "...projects his minatory jaw and sinks the sullen mass of his face upon it."

The lines upon his forehead read like the map to a foreign continent... his glowering majesty... his defiance... he just looks stubborn and passionate and... aaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!

― Alec Tea-Skirt (kate), Friday, 5 August 2005 13:48 (twenty years ago)

I watched a bit of it but i nodded off before he came on.

The captain's very first words in the drama are a booming rebuke to Talbot, who has broken the ship's rules by stepping uninvited on to the quarter-deck. "Who the devil is this?" shouts Anderson. "By Christ, am I to be outfaced on my own deck by every ignorant bastard?"

I've grown to like Stephanie Birkett, the foil on the David Letterman show who he calls by various names. For a while she seemed to be not in on the joke (flat delivery of all her lines), but I'm thinking now she is. Kind of a tomboy, but lately she's been wearing make-up and dresses, maybe because she wants to parlay this bit into some kind of career. When she walks away up the aisle she still stomps away like a man, though.

This was meant to go on this thread:

How tall is Boris Johnson IRL?

I swear, his double just came down from the brokers' floor and wandered across our floor looking hott and blond before disappearing back upstair again with a big file folder (hah I originally type bile folder) - except I think he was a bit too tall for the real thing (I suspect. Boris Johnson just looks like he's short.)

Mind you, I'm not sure which I would be more disturbed by. The actual Boris Johnson in our office, or an actual HOTT bloke working in my office.

― Anna (Anna), Monday, 12 September 2005 09:49 (twenty years ago)

I reckon it's because that's when the handsweep is reaching its apex. I can't remember where I read a review of a Moloko single where the reviewer said that he's incapable of reading their name without hearing/seeing Joolz's "And now please welcome!"

I am developing an small thing about the guy who works in the coffee place near my office. He's adorable and he has two small blue dots tatooed on each temple and a hard-to-place European accent. He gives me marshmallows and makes patterns on my take-out bag with the free-coffee-stamp stamper. I put lipstick on to buy a latte. (That is the very shameful bit.)

Obviously I will never do anything (boyfriend is lovely etc), it's kind of like fancying a pop star I can speak to. Plus, I'm not entirely sure he's straight.

― Roxymuzak, Mrs. Carbohydrate (roxymuzak), Thursday, 22 September 2005 15:03 (twenty years ago)

The late fear and the potato fear! It was around the time they were recording the Great Escape and out getting awards for Parklife every night. I remember that - he had to be airbrushed on the cover of the album, didn't he?

(See also M@tt Th0rn3, another hottie gone potato.)

― The Brocade Fire (kate), Thursday, 22 September 2005 15:07 (twenty years ago)

Haha, they airbrushed out his double chin on the liners of Parklife, yes! I think this is during his (years-long) champagne "phase".

Crush of shame revive: it was the Mighty Boosh thread what done it, my squashed down crush on Noel Fielding has bloomed. I know a lot of people fancy Noel Fielding and there's not anything that shameful in it, but the fact (as I mentioned on the Boosh thread) that we share a last name makes it a bit icky. Is there a way of finding out if we are distant cousins or not?

-- Archel (slightlyfoxe...), January 24th, 2006. (later)

I'm not sure about Dr Olivia's origins - although I believe she works at Imperial College, London at present - she veers from a posh (and filthy sounding) English accent to an awful mid-atlantic thing.

Dr Bettany (apart from her other obvious attributes) has cheekbones and a sense of humour, which is good enough for me.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 21 July 2006 03:51 (nineteen years ago)

You're damn right re: "aging did him a world of good". I think he's one of the few males out there who actually didn't look good when he was thin and young and his cheekbones were more prominent. And -- oh my God, Mick Karn needs to have longer hair more regularly.

My current "crush of shame" (not taking into account the sudden fondness I have for Mr. Karn) is of someone who, in the '80s, looked precisely what my ideal male would look like. I'm not kidding you, this is my masculine gold standard personified. What's shameful about having this crush, however, is knowing who he'd end up becoming...

― Phoenix Dancing (krushsister), Friday, 21 July 2006 04:02 (nineteen years ago)

Why do I feel like I should know who that is but can't quite put my finger on it?

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 21 July 2006 04:35 (nineteen years ago)

Because he ended up becoming one of the most famous and critically well-received comedians of this decade? That's all I'm saying about him, though. Saying who he is (even though it's the 1984 version of him that I'm in serious lust with) would be too embarrassing.

― Nunca Llueve (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 21 July 2006 04:46 (nineteen years ago)

OH DEAR GOD NO. I'd have offed myself if that were the case.

You know, come to think of it, there ARE a lot more embarrassing candidates for this slot than I thought, so. That young man was Ricky Gervais from Gervais's New Romantic days with Seona Dancing (the band name partly responsible for my board name). (Though that's because I really do like their music. Swearsies.)

(Besides, I said "critically well-received". Not counting Bubba Joe's Fishin' Hole Journal.)

― Phoenix Dancing (krushsister), Friday, 21 July 2006 05:25 (nineteen years ago)

WOW! who could have guessed that could turn into THAT!

― miele kitty (miele), Friday, 21 July 2006 05:32 (nineteen years ago)

Precisely. There are more pictures of Ricky and his SD bandmate Bill Macrae on what's billed as "the only website dedicated to Seona Dancing". I'd highly recommend it, especially since it features actual SD mp3s. You'll get to hear Ricky Gervais (back when he was a major hottie and a half) sing pop tunes!

― Phoenix Dancing (krushsister), Friday, 21 July 2006 05:40 (nineteen years ago)

Really? I was expecting you to go, 'OHHH. That's why he looked vaguely familiar." But I can completely understand why you'd be as surprised as you are. The boy looked gorgeous at a particular phase in his life, didn't he?

― Phoenix Dancing (krushsister), Friday, 21 July 2006 06:19 (nineteen years ago)

He certainly looks rather nice in that newromo androgynous kinda way yeah! Very suprised, and no not at all who I was expecting. I was thinking itd be Steve Strange or someone, I dunno (and i mean have you SEEN how HE looks nowdays erwgh)

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 21 July 2006 06:43 (nineteen years ago)

Point taken re: Steve Strange, though hopefully he's sorted himself out lately. Come to think of it, isn't Adam Ant looking not that fanciable these days? Thankfully Phil Oakey, Martin Fry, the Kemp brothers, and Tony Hadley hardly aged a bit. So. There you are. I'd post more RG photos ca. Seona Dancing, but I don't want to steal that site's bandwidth, so I'll just encourage you to go to that site post haste.

I now have one of the ultimate crushes of shame to admit to: I have a crush on my realtor. Who's married, with a child. I blame his gorgeous eyes. Which, BTW, I can afford to catch many, many glimpses of, as he's shorter than me by about one to two inches (!). I'm hoping this is just a quick infatuation with someone whom I find gorgeous. I get those a lot. Yeah, it's probably just silly infatuation. I'll just keep on telling myself that.
