1982- Andy Gibb

i had such a crush on Andy Gibb that I used to sneak out of my room & sit in the hallway adjoining the living room just so i could watch him host Solid Gold. It came on at 10pm & I was five years old. Late into my 20's I admitted to my parents that I have this memory of sneaking behind their backs (literally, as they sat in the living room) just to crush on Andy Gibb. They said, "We knew, we used to pick you up & put you back in your bed when you fell asleep there." *sidenote* Andy Gibb was a pisces who died 5 days after his 30th birthday of a drug related heart attack.

1982- Scott Baio

Oh Chachi, keeper of my 5 year old heart. I crushed on this sweet Eye-talian piece back when he was just the little squirt on Happy Days, then, THEN he went on to be the hottest heartthrob ever (in my eyes) on Joanie Loves Chachi.... Chachi 4eva. *sidenote* I later went on to see an E!TrueHollywood Story that said how in real life he was with Erin Moran aka Joanie & he cheated on her & broke her little irish heart. See. Told you shite taste in men I have.

1984- Danny Zuko in Grease

My most vivid memory of my crush on the character Danny Zuko, which FYI is not to be confused w. the actor John Travolta, although watching reruns of Welcome Back Kotter were in heavy rotation at the same time, is one night after that semi annual showing of Grease on the non-cable days of early 80's major network televisoin. My Dad let me stay up late to watch it, I was about 6 years old somewhere around 1st grade, and I remember getting ready for bed & my Dad coming in to tuck me in & I was crying, and informing my father that I was crying becuase I'm never going to be as pretty as Sandy (Olivia Newton-John) & i'm not blonde & i love Danny Zuko. *sidenote* Danny Zuko was replaced by this duderocker in the not so popular Grease sequel: whose real name is maxwell caulfield. I kinda sweated him too, not as hard as say Chachi, but still a minor crushin', so i changed Barbie's boyfriend Ken's name to Maxwell Caulfield. Pretty gay I know. But he kinda looks like Ken no? Besides being the eldest child fucks you up a bit,i spent a lot of time talking to myself & making up things. We call this creative & vivid imagination. You know "we" being me & the voices inside my head. i kid, i kid.
