Let's hear 'em (and see 'em).

My top 3 would be:

#3 - Lynda Carter. I don't know if it was the super hero get up or what but I know I used to get a funny feeling watching Wonder Woman.

#2 - Alyssa Milano. From Who's The Boss to Commando to Melrose Place, she was a fixture of my private fantasies from age 9 up through college.

#1 - Olivia Newton John - my obsession with her is well documented. When I saw her at the end of Grease,... whoa. The big hair, the tight pants and the cigarette were doing it for me. I might have strayed during her short haircut days (Let's Get Physical), but she has aged well.

Yeah, I was 12 too. What's your point?

The thread did say "as a kid" did it not?

Yeah, it was definitely "as a kid" but I felt kind of weird about putting a pic up of Alyssa Milano at 12 years old.

But Kelly is at least 16 in that pic you poasted.
 
Sheesh, this has turned quite personal. ;)

But no, I didn't say that. I just remember her being one of the first celebrities I had a crush on when I was a kid. Y'all had Lynda and Farrah, we had Tiffani.

Has any boy ever made it to 12 still master of his domain? That would be impressive.
 
I'm having trouble coming up with sexy 80s singers/musicians beyond ONJ. They all had too much hair and makeup. Susanna Hoffs from the Bangles, maybe? I did have a thing for Paula Abdul in the late 80s.

Another vote for Alyssa Milano. She was actually at her hottest in Charmed but that was a 90s show.

Nicole Eggert from Charles in Charge. She also blossomed and became a Baywatch babe. Apparently she has porked out now, but I probably still wood just for the nostalgia.

Last, you can't go wrong with any of the SI Swimsuit models but Elle Macpherson always did it for me.

Jessica Lange in King Kong (I musta been maybe 10)

I never got it with her. She looks like she smells like the store Kirklands (don't ask, I'm not really sure I could explain that comment). Don't get me wrong, I would, of course. But she wouldn't make my top 100.
 
Oh, wow... I forgot...
When I was in 5th or 6th grade, I got a hold of a Jet magazine. I always kinda liked Thelma on Good Times... but, this made me really like her. And, I knew my dad wouldn't be okay with it. My family, in general, would probably have been dismayed. So, I made sure to hide the magazine.

Later on, when I was about 17 or 18 or so, and Lisa Bonet and Robin Givens, and VANESSA WILLIAMS showed up? I was fully aware that I had no color barriers in my brain (or loins).

Good job creating separate but equal poasts.
