Fun Monday Prehistoric Crushes
Jo Beaufoix (like Kate Moss. But not) is a new host for Fun Monday. (And, ironically is also introducing her new blog host at the same time. She's courageous.)"Tell me about your crushes." was her command. Oh - she asked for a bunch of other stuff, too - but I can't multi-task anymore. She had me at Crush.
First crush: Spin and Marty.(Yippy A, Yippy I, Yippy O.......:)
Don't ask me what these two young "studs" were doing at the Triple R Ranch. All I recall is never missing the Micky Mouse Club. Spin and Marty were one of the ongoing serials that kept us entertained.
High School Pin UP. Jan Michael Vincent.I didn't have a poster of the hunk although it is possible that I wanted one. I lived a sheltered life and this crush was quietly guarded. Just look at the ooze off that guy.
Here is a LINK to see him in a recent interview. He was once the Hot Fudge on an ice-cream sundae. I believe he has suffered freezer burn. Tsk.
In 1974 I left those immature crushes behind. STARMAN gave me my biggest ever celebrity crush: Jeff Bridges.
I love romance. I enjoy science fiction. He walked out of his space craft au naturale. It doesn't get much better than that. I've enjoyed all of his movies over the years. I still enjoy his "star" power.
You'll notice that I sort of nudged Karen Allen right out of the picture.

Have a Fun Monday!
I loved the movie Starman!!
And Jeff Bridges was/is lovely. Very handsome and with a fabulous presence. I never heard of Spring and Marty, but the picture made me think of Champion the Wonderhorse which I loved when I was a kid.
Thanks for playing. Have a great day. :D
Can't say that I remember Jan Michael Vincent, but that YouTube video is sad. That's not freezer burn; that's being pickled.
Nice work getting Karen out of the way! I'm sure Jeff would look at you just like that!
Jan-Michael was a fine creation for a while. Funny, you got the John Stamoses of the world who never age, then you got the Jan-Michaels, Leif Garrets and Nick Noltes!
This fun Monday is very Um .. entertaining, fun and interesting! Thx for sharing your "crush", mine is up as well! See you!
My brother Sam is a truck driver and I plan on going on a trip with him on day.
Remind me never to send you a picture of myself with someone you might have a crush on...like Mickey Mouse maybe !
PREHISTORIC...**snort, snort**
Don't remember them.
Interesting on John Stamos -- he does not age. Is he the new Dorian Grey?
Jeff Bridges is the "mature" choice...I've never seen "Starman" but you've intrigued me....
It's fun going back and remembering these young "loves".... Just think how different it is today for kids--they can google and click and over-dose on their crushes!
Some things live better in memories.
Jennifer
That youtube video was just plain scary though!
Thanks for the visit today.
Hugs and blessings,
Have a great Monday, Pamela!
Our Happy Happenings
Even though I was 31 when Starman came along and should have been way past my HS crushes, I have to admit, Jeff Bridges was quite hunkalicious.
I've heard Jan Michael Vincent hasn't "aged" well. I'll have to take a look at the interview.

This was a very wicked funny post--enjoyed it a lot.
Hey, Jan Michael has been rode hard and put up run over. Poor fellow. He was a dish.
Great choices and a great post.

Those last two were way too hot for sweet little me...but you know what? I can totally see why your first childhood crush was on Spin and Marty. They showed reruns of the Mickey Mouse Club when I was a kid, and I thought the boy on the right - Marty?- was adorable! I think he was the same teen boy in Swiss Family Robinson I liked too...alas, the one that doesn't get the girl in the end!
Speaking of Disney, thanks for welcoming me back from our road trip there...the continuing story will commence in a few days! :)
I missed fun monday again!!!!!!!!! but I have always had an eye for Sam Elliot!!
Dr. Kiley (James Brolin) on Marcus Welby, MD. in high school.
I had that same crush on Jeff Bridges in Starman... thanks for the reminder! I may have to watch that film again!
Wasn't Starman great? LOVE you in that picture...I think you would have made quite the girl for old Jeff.
I have always found the Bridges men hot. Yup.
Love,
Sue
K E Y . . . who cares why?
M O U S E . . . I've completely lost my train of thought .. . thinking of my own crushes. I also never missed the Circle R ranch episodes. My BIG BIG crushes were Donny Osmond and Speed Racer. And don't laugh too hard: Simba the white lion.
KIMBA the white lion was my other crush. Hey ... I could turn into a lion or something ... or he could just like me the way I was. When I was a little girl, I couldn't picture us doing anything OTHER than running around the forest ... so being girlfriends with a little white lion just wasn't wrong. Lol.
Now, though. OK now it's wrong.
Excellent excellent writing as per usual!
And thanks for the landscaping advice. I have had that SAME feeling about my palms ever since I moved in two years ago. They hide my Christmas lights! But they do look excellent lit up. One time a year. Lol.
What do you think about putting them along the walk way AND in clusters/circles? Or too tall for that, you think?
I really REALLY want ornamental trees ... not palms ... but maybe if I can move them around I'll like them better ... and easier on my budget too. ha. (Not easier on my shoveling arms though!)
