Who Did You Have A Crush On......When You Were 8?

Punky Brewster.

Yes, I still remember the "Over-The-Shoulder-Boulder-Holder" episode.

 

Yeah, me too. I didn't realize girls were all that important until a classmate, uh, "blossomed" in the fifth grade.

 

Stephanie from "Full House." (That was on in '90, right?)

And a girl named Stanisha at school.

 

Stanisha?

 

No crushes on teachers? I had this teacher in the 2nd grade who's skirt I was always trying to look up...

 

oh yeah!!!!!

I had one on her big time

as well as

 

Sh*t, I think that's what it was. For most of us black folx, any name with more than two syllables was acceptable back in the day.

 

I can't remember how old I was, but back in my Power Ranger phase, I kind of had a crush on the Pink ranger. I always wanted to be the Green/White ranger.

I can't really remember any others.

 

Amy Jo Johnson. She was also in some made for TV gymnastics movie and Suzy Q on the Disney Channel, amongst other things.


I liked her too, but hated the show (damn Voltron ripoff). Plus I was well past 8.

 

Yeah, I remember the name now. I think I saw her in some show dealing with drug overdose or something and I was kind of shocked.

After a while, the power ranger thing wore off on me. Got real stupid and um...dumb. I wouldn't have even watched it if my friends didn't get me in it. My friend said if I wanted to be the green ranger, I was like, "Ok...whatever." I thought it was a cartoon since all I watched was cartoons.

 

Tiffani Amber Theissen from Saved By the Bell (third round man third round )

 

My strange, twisted answer....

When I was 8, I had the hots for the woman who played Electra Woman (from the Syd and Marty Krofft Saturday morning show "Electra Woman and Dyna Girl")

Years later, as a teen, I watched a soap opera: Days of Our Lives.... not because I liked the show, but because I thought that the actress who played Marlena Brady (Diedre Hall) was hot.

A few years ago, late at night, I stumbled across a re-run of Electra Woman and Dyna Girl on Nickelodeon. I was shocked to see that Electra Woman was played by a young Diedre Hall!

So, I have had some strange sexual obsession with Diedre Hall since I can remember.

Elizabeth Shue...Adventure's in Babysitting.

Shutup...I was 8 and I wanted her to be my babysitter.

 

Elisabeth Shue was unbearably hot in the opening scene where she's bouncing around her bedroom in a super-short skirt.

in the rest of the movie, though.... bleh.

I kind of liked the blue Power Ranger.

Oh, that was the guy, wasn't it.

Well he looked sexy in Stargate SG-1.

Actually, wasn't 8 years old like third grade for most of you?!?!

That's when I had a crush on this Russian blonde. (what? she was the only other Jew in the class).

To this day, blondes are number 1, second to none.

I also kind of thought that covergirl from Playboy was hot (I guess I've said too much)...

 

Greta Munchausen
Danielle Edwards


I forget what actresses, but it's never too early to say Jennifer Connelly

 

Definitely Tatum O'Neal - man. And the girl from the Junglebook comic which appears at the end.

 

i had a crush on Jenny Thompson back in 4th grade and even sat next to her in english. she was a gymnast who actually got up to the U.S. national team tryouts for the olympic team and it was on nbc, so i guess technically y'all could know who she is (not as hot as she was at 8). she didn't make it, but oh well. man she could do a ridiculous number of chin-ups whenever they made us do them in gym. strangely enough, kim zmeskal also went to my elementary school, though well before me. i guess we know how to breed gymnasts over here.


for actual famous people, i'm sure i had a crush on tiffany amber theissen. how could you not like kelly kapowski.
