  • Xanga Challenge: Your Teen TV Crushes (Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down)

    Just for fun, here's a challenge for you. Write about two TV crushes you had as a teen: one that you're still proud of, one that you're not quite sure what you were thinking.

    Thumbs Up: Miss Parker, The Pretender

    Miss Parker was on the TV show The Pretender. I just remember enjoying the nuance of this character. I have a soft spot for tough women (inconsistency intentional). On the one hand, she's a scheming murderess who bullies her subordinates. But she's also presented as a real woman, who becomes fragile when family or love is involved. There's no heart of gold, but there is humanity. It was an honest portrayal of smart, intense womanity, and I appreciate it more over time. For a teen guy, watching an assertive yet fragile woman was an excellent education. Also, the obligatory HOT HOT HOT IF YOU LOOK LIKE HER MESSAGE ME KTHXBAI...

    Thumbs Down: Daniella Deutscher, Hang Time

    I'm pretty sure my thought process went like this. "Duh she shoot hoops, I shoot hoops, what if we were playing basketball together we would have so much fun!" Extremely complex logic, let me tell you. She's cute, but my logic behind my crush was, shall we say, a little limited. I'm still an unabashed jersey chaser, though. Holla, balla!

    That was cheerfully embarrassing. Who's next? I'll tag you on here if you write one. Oh and fyi, realize that these are photos of hot folk, so you may not want to open these in, say, a library. Because if you're like me, my browser instantly picks that time to freeze up, and then I awkwardly blurt out "I was doing research!" to passer-bys. Oops.
