Exhibit A: Ralph Macchio
I distinctly remember an argument with another little girl in the neighborhood about who was going to marry Ralph that resulted in me taking my stash of My Little Ponies and going home. In case you were wondering, neither of us married him.Exhibit B: Kirk Cameron
Oh, how I loved Kirk. I used to write Sarah Cameron on all my folders and watched Growing Pains regularly. I cut his pictures out of TeenBop. My mother would not let me thumb tack them to the wall, but we compromised. I was able to get a large bulletin board and hang the pics on that. Sigh. He was dreamy.Exhibit C and D: The Boys of 90210
When I was in Junior High these boys replaced Kirk on my Wall of Fame. I never could decide who I liked better, but I knew for sure that I hated Shannon Doherty.Exhibit E: Dean Cain aka Superman
Oh, yeah. I tuned in every week to watch this man in his tights. Come on, who wouldn't? He filled the suit out very nicely.Maybe I was being too harsh of today's little girls and their Jonas Brother paper. I definitely could have seen myself begging for presents wrapped up in any of these guys way back when.
So tell me, Who were YOUR Jonas Brothers?

I am embarressed to say, I would have loved "Bobby Sherman" wrapping paper. I had a life sized Mark Spitz poster on the back of my closet door. He was wet, and in a red/white & blue speedo with his metals. ohhhh.
I am old. But I guess you're right, You Go Little Jonas Lovers!

Michael J Fox

Jon Bon Jovi (still love him)
I have a 5 year old who would just die if her presents were wrapped in the Jonas Brothers! Thanks for the idea!
I started going to a church youth group in high school. Kirk Cameron's church. He went on a water ski trip with the group. And? I went out to breakfast with him and some other members of the group. It was awesome.
I am with your mom on this one, since we are around the same age. I loved Bobby Sherman, David Cassidy and Donnie Osmond. I had a poster of all these dreamy guys. Cute post! And quit with the buying of the wrapping paper!

I had that same picture of Ralph on my wall! The others were Michael J. Fox, and Kirk Cameron. My girls aren't into the Jonas Bros. They are more the cute animal lovers and would rather have their gifts wrapped in paper with dogs on it. The oldest is into her guitar and if I could find Fender paper I WOULD wrap all of her gifts in it!
I would like to say something perfectly respectable like, "oh, my Jonas Brothers were Al Pacino and Sir Lawrence Olivier." Unfortunately, I distinctly remember having a David Cassidy poster on my wall. At least it wasn't Shaun, that hack.
(Ahem. Also, The Fonz.)
Fun post! I have way too many old crushes to even begin to list here, but I will say that Kirk Cameron was one of them. He was dreamy! I think I may have to do a retro Friday Eye Candy post with all my old crushes.
