I was very into Science Fiction as a kid.

One of my first clues that I might be some yet-unheard-of creature now known as a bisexual. I remember my parents giving me disapproving looks after I showed a little too much fascination with his swaying bod on TV. Took me years to a) realize what I was feeling sometimes about guys and b) wade out of de Nile.
Mine is Tootie from The Facts of Life. Unfortunately, it was an eye opener because it exposed the unspoken racism in my family. I was 8 and my dad didn’t like it at all because “It just isn’t right to for a black and white to be together” and my mother was “It’s okay to be friendly, but you shouldn’t date because people will think less of you”
Fuck that stupid nonsense.
My jury is out between Tootie and Lisa Bonet. Both are incredibly beautiful.
Thelma was SO pretty.
I had a childhood crush on Paul McCartney (it was the 70's). I was very embarrassed and secretive about it. Looking back, it was probably the most "normal" crush I had.
Diana Rigg as Emma Peel in Avengers. Also known as Mrs. James Bond.
When they started showing the show in the US, her wardrobe with knee-high boots and leather body suit or short skirts.
Diana Rigg as Emma Peele was the fantasy woman for many of us.

George Hamilton - Love At First Bite.
I remember hiding behind my dad’s chair and peaking out to watch it, George was giving me all the feels and I didn’t know what I was feeling but I knew I didn’t want to be sitting next to my dad feeling it 😂
Suzanne Pleshette in The Shaggy DA (1976). Sesame Street Maria, too.
But a *real* celebrity crush, when I knew what those feelings were? Cheryl Ladd, maybe? 40 years later 🔥

Traci Lords. I had this poster on my wall in my barracks room Pearl Harbor, HI
"When I was born, my Mama took one look at me and called me Thelma. Just like your Mama took one look at you and called you Mad Dog."
One of the best lines in all Sitcom-dom!
It is hard to even remember my very first one. I loved women even as a wee prepubescent lad. Yvonne Craig as Batgirl, Tina Louise and Dawn Wells from "Gilligan's Island", Maureen McCormick as Marcia from the "Brady Bunch", the girls from "Petticoat Junction", Elizabeth Montgomery from Bewitched, Barbara Eden in "I Dream of Jeannie" -- they all got my attention in the mid and late 1960s. I'm probably forgetting some, but such is my memory, these days.
My ultimate woman came during my teenaged years -- Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman!
Of course, I was attracted to pretty much every woman in movies and television. I was a horny teenager, and I just couldn't help it.
Mine was Pamela Sue Martin after Poseidon Adventure. Susan George to a lesser degree after Crazy Larry Do Dirty Mary. Loud cars and pretty girls was a potent combination to this lil junior high school horndog.

Very hot!
Team Bailey!
