Same Sex Crushes Yesterday, in the crush thread I knew I had a same sex crush to share but couldn't remember it...→[More:]it used to be Angelina but I am SO over her.

Today, I remembered who she is - DITA VON TEESE.

I just tally all my man crushes on here.

Maggie Gyllenhaal is totally adorable and I love her very much.

I have others but inexplicably can't think of them at the moment.

I second Maggie Gyllenhaal. I also have a girl-crush on Jennifer Ehle.

Lola has excellent taste in women

I have to join many MeCha men in the Alyson Hannigan crushing. It's the hair.

Also thirding Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Oh Alyson Hannigan! For me, it's her frown that says, "It's alright, I still love you."

mine used to be Andie MacDowell, now i'm not so sure but prolly Uma Thurman.

Maggie Gyllenhaal is pretty good tho.

Oh god...DITA! She's so the hotness.

And although I don't particularly like her or her music, I must confess that Xtina looks AMAZING on the cover of Maxim this month.

You ladies have excellent taste in the ladies :) Jennifer Ehle? There's a name I've not heard in a while. I remember, years ago, her doing a series called The Camomile Lawn on Channel 4 in the UK. Google images confirms my memories (NSFW). Ah, the days before teh tubez made all that kind of stuff commonplace.

I also find Dita Von Teese very hot (bad choice in husbands, but she's very hot!). I also love Isla Fisher (from "Wedding Crashers). I used to like Angelina Jolie, but no longer. And, as I seem to have mentioned too much recently, Shakira turns me on.

gah! I thought it would be a mecha-hot thread... but never mind, I'd like to take this opportunity to declare my undying love for Cate Blanchett. Love. Undying.

Ehle is in the movie in my valentine's thread. My appreciation of her is filled out now.

I used to have a girl crush on Melissa Auf De Mar (that may or may not be spelled right) from Hole. I can't think of any current crushes, although I'm sure there's one or two.

My tastes run towards the fleshier celebrity types (not enough of those!). British chef, Nigella Lawson is my latest crush.

posted by hojoki 15 February | 18:20

Amro - do you know Melissa blogs? You won't learn much there - I have it as a feed just to see if there's any news of a new album.

posted by TheDonF 15 February | 18:27

Melissa's dad was a well-loved local politician/writer/barfly in Montreal. He died in 1998. I think just about every Anglo Montrealer has a story or two about him.

OMG Morrissey!!! I ♥ the Moz!!!

...and Jennifer Ehle? I recall watching P&P and thinking, damn, that Elizabeth Bennett must be great in the sack!

danf - I know! You mislinked to her imdb page, and when I clicked on it I had a moment of *yes!*

posted by muddgirl 15 February | 19:45

TheDonF, I think my crush may be rekindled!

There was this girl who had drew barrymore's face but was taller and curvier with darker hair, and she was all supercool and we got along great, except this whole my husband doesn't mind business is weirder than my boyfriend doesn't mind but when it really gets weird is when i ran into her over a year later with new baby and a new boyfriend and a new proposition--
i'm just stopping there.

But ths other girl who looked like a cuter shorter uma thurman--
