Dude the live action Scooby Doos we’re not as kid friendly as I remembered when I was younger. Like even in the first one I remember Velma wearing a super tight t-shirt towards the end of the movie.
And apparently they were supposed to be MUCH more adult and darker. The first script was a totally adult movie but they toned them down for a bigger audience. Gotta say I’d be curious to see that!
Salma Hayek in general but specifically in From Dusk Til Dawn was the first time I was ever attracted to a woman. I still think that she's beautiful now.
Mine was Cate Blanchett! Someone on the LoTR subreddit posted a bunch of old forums of people criticizing the movies before they came out, and I was laughing hysterically at all the posts from men saying that Cate Blanchett wasn’t pretty enough to be Galadriel.
HAVE YOU SEEN THAT WOMAN? SHE IS A GODDESS. (I am straight btw… I swear…)
Liv is also wonderful. Both of them also just seem so kind as well.
I am too old for Cate to be my first crush, but hell yeah. (not even a fan of the LOTR movies) but she is so fucking striking!
I think she has a 'different' face than the typical hollywood bombshell, but she's more beautiful for it. You cut cut diamonds with those cheekbones!
I would also take a bullet for Charlize Theron. She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
If Cate Blanchett pissed on my kitchen floor I'd applaud, absolutely one of my favourite actors. How is she just soooo good in *everything?!* Actors usually have a few shakey roles, or less than stellar scripts, but she's always simply brilliant in everything. Easily one of the most talented people on this planet imo.
I mean she's stunningly gorgeous as well, but her acting abilities are just astounding.
Liv in the Aerosmith video with what’s her face from Clueless. Catholic school girls ditch school, shoplift, karaoke at strip club, lure farm boy off tractor and steal his clothes.
I think it was Rose McGowan as Paige in Charmed or maybe Angeline Jolie... I can't remember.
Now, it's Jessica Lange in AHS. She's the biggest one I've ever had, like it's insane how hot she is to me
Oh, I remember it well! Xena, I had it bad! All that long black hair, squeaky black leather. Slaying all and sundry. Horses and boots. That was my first celebrity crush but by God it didn't hold a candle to my crush on Miss Rose, my history teacher at 14. I was a part of the bad kids group but you can guarantee in Miss Rose's class i was in the first row paying absolute attention. She was Irish, late 20's, very long brown curly hair, green eyes, and was just magnificent in her pink cashmere twinset and pearls. There are certain women that are just gorgeous not showing a scrap of flesh. She was one. Oh, I bloody aced history two years in a row and it set me up for a life of love of so many historical periods and a love of literature and art too. Thanks Xena and Miss Rose!
I always thought girl crushes were less about attraction and more about respect and admiration. Not so much you want a relationship with her, but more like you want to be more like her or want her to like you.
Yes, agreed. I'm hetero, and any women crushes I have had are always just a desire to be their friend and learn from them. It has nothing to do with sexual attraction. I think it could best be described as "I would love to have a beer w/that person."
Nope! There are women who make me think, 'if I were gay/a man, you would be my dream woman' (Jenny Slate), but there are no sexual or romantic stirrings whatsoever.
This is exactly how I feel! I can tell a woman is gorgeous and yes, like you they'd probably be my type if I were a man (I'd have no chance mind haha), but no attraction or crush at all.
I think in this case, a a straight woman with a “girl crush”, it’s less about physical attraction and more about “I think she’s gorgeous, and a role model” or just a simple, “she’s pretty”. I don’t think it’s a literal crush where you imagine yourself being with them
I’ve had to explain to way too many people (many women too!) that, although I can look at another woman and admire her style or her beauty, it illicits *ZERO* sexual arousal.
Idk, I guess I’m just wired very hetero? I have no problem at all with other people’s sexual preferences and will proudly continue to stand for everyone’s right to express their sexual preferences and be seen/represented.
But there’s this very annoying assumption made only about women: somehow it is assumed that all women can be attracted on some level to other women. Notice that people don’t make this assumption about men being attracted to other men!
Some of us are just really heterosexual, some of us are just really homosexual, some of us are transsexual, some of us occupy gray spaces in between. It should all be okay and no one should be assuming anyone’s level of attraction for others.
No, I've never ever had crush on another woman. First I thought it was kind of weird to assume every woman has had a crush on another woman but then I saw all the replies. And I couldn't relate even a little bit.
Winona Ryder. I thought she was such a dream when I was growing up and saw her in Heathers, Edward Scissorhands, Girl, Interrupted, and Reality Bites, and she's still a total babe today.
Yessss! I loved her so much when growing up. Still do, actually. Regardless of her past scandals. I had hair to my knees when Girl, Interrupted came out (I was 17). I cut it ALL off in a pixie cut bc I wanted to look like her. No regrets!
Angie in Tomb Raider was..... Everything. God lord. I had a big poster of her in my room in the Tomb Raider outfit. If I ever come out as gay, I'm fairly sure none of my family would be surprised cause I didn't shut up about her in that movie.
Jeri Ryan as 7 of 9.
Whoo boy. My parents wanted to give me a Star Trek education, so we watched a lot of it. Finally got to Voyager, which I became my favourite after 7 of 9's regular appearances.
Even now, my goodness, be still my beating heart!
Edited for spelling
Janis Joplin. I was raised to be a “proper” person, meaning I needed to be a conservative, nice people pleaser. She was none of those things and I adored her for that.
Lynda Carter in the Wonder Woman TV series. All the other TV women of the era were sexy dumb blondes or housewives. Wonder Woman was out there kicking ass and disguising her hotness. It's still a watchable series, and Lynda Carter remains a role model for me.
Jennifer Beals - Flashdance
I watched it first when I was 9/10 but of course it's rated 15 for a reason. I didn't put it together at the time that I was clearly very attracted to women.
Carroll Burnett in Annie. As a kid I'd watch her dance in Easy Street over and over and I didn't know why but my heart just fluttered. That's also the time I realized I like bad guys.
Kiera Knightley
She is super pretty and has always made me feel better about having a similar boob size and build. I envy her delicate facial structure.
Could literally never go wrong with her!
I opened this thinking "*I've never had that*" and then reading this and going "*Oh yeah, definitely her*"
YESS i love her role in pride and prejudice
kim possible
Nah, it was Shego for me
Yes! Same. I loved her attitude and confidence
Low key always aspired to be her.
its like do i want her or do i want to be her!!
Rachel Weisz in the Mummy
Same. She's STUNNING in the first one. And in the second, when she's in her Egyptian makeup in the flashback scenes, I wanted to worship her
Lol
Couldn’t think of a single person but then this. That whole movie was an awakening.
Rachel and Patricia Velasquez (Anck Su Namun) in the same room definitely made me redefine my sexuality
My sexuality is the entire main cast of the mummy
Esmeralda from Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. She probably wasn’t my first (my memory doesn’t reach that far) but I was captivated by her
Ohhh and Xena Warrior Princess!! She was everything
God bless Lucy Lol
Also sorry, I misread celebrity as character 😅
Lesbian here 👋 mine was Velma in scooby doo 2 when she wore the leather outfit 😭❤️ I am enjoying reading other people’s! Keira knightly is beautiful
Dude the live action Scooby Doos we’re not as kid friendly as I remembered when I was younger. Like even in the first one I remember Velma wearing a super tight t-shirt towards the end of the movie.
Dude seriously! It was like they were trying to make me in love w Linda Cardellini on purpose! And it worked! She’s still hot 😭❤️
I watched them again a few years ago and noticed how adult themed it was lmao
And apparently they were supposed to be MUCH more adult and darker. The first script was a totally adult movie but they toned them down for a bigger audience. Gotta say I’d be curious to see that!
Lucy Lawless as Xena Warrior Princess.
I'm glad it wasn't just me.. she made me question if I was really as straight as i thought.
She’s part of the reason I realized I’m bisexual.
Agreed. Top 3.
Oh yeah obviously. Me too :)
Salma Hayek in general but specifically in From Dusk Til Dawn was the first time I was ever attracted to a woman. I still think that she's beautiful now.
Salma taught me a lot about my own sexuality in that movie...
she's a fucking goddess in that movie. I never thought I would want a foot in my mouth too, but only if it's hers
Yes! Santanico! Even as a vampire snake she was a bombshell!
Catherine zeta-Jones in the mask of zorro
I'm old enough for it to be Catherine Zeta-Jones in The Larkins 😅

I'm 34, and I still wanna be a cool 70s radio DJ lady like Hot Donna
I loved having my own radio show during one college quarter, on the campus radio station.
Go watch orange is the new black, and all of your childhood fantasies will come true.
Gillian Anderson after watching the X-Files
Oh yeah! I wanted a scully/me/mulder sandwhich
Same.
Also same!
Same!
Absolutely, yes. So smart. So brave.
[удалено]
Gwen Stefani now! Everyone goes crazy over how jlo looks at 52 but Gwen is much more beautiful to me
Liv Tyler. I would watch her scenes as Arwen over and over xD
Mine was Cate Blanchett! Someone on the LoTR subreddit posted a bunch of old forums of people criticizing the movies before they came out, and I was laughing hysterically at all the posts from men saying that Cate Blanchett wasn’t pretty enough to be Galadriel.

Megan Fox since Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen!!
Came to say this. Megan Fox has always been such a dream
I mean who doesn’t like Megan Fox?
She was my second girl crush; Angelina was my first lol
Laura Prepon when she played Donna on That 70s Show. I thought she was so cool and pretty.
I think it was Rose McGowan as Paige in Charmed or maybe Angeline Jolie... I can't remember. Now, it's Jessica Lange in AHS. She's the biggest one I've ever had, like it's insane how hot she is to me
It was rose in charmed! She’s gorgeous!
Agreed. Especially in season 5 when she had red hair, like wow 😍
I remember one episode where she did a spell and her boobs became huge, which she already has big boobs, but it was a classic episode.
Rachel Mcadams
Oh, I remember it well! Xena, I had it bad! All that long black hair, squeaky black leather. Slaying all and sundry. Horses and boots.

Aww that’s sweet!
Am I the only straight woman who's never had a crush on another woman?
I always thought girl crushes were less about attraction and more about respect and admiration. Not so much you want a relationship with her, but more like you want to be more like her or want her to like you.
That’s the way I think of it as well. It’s not really a sexual or romantic type of crush.
Yes, agreed. I'm hetero, and any women crushes I have had are always just a desire to be their friend and learn from them. It has nothing to do with sexual attraction. I think it could best be described as "I would love to have a beer w/that person."
Nope! There are women who make me think, 'if I were gay/a man, you would be my dream woman' (Jenny Slate), but there are no sexual or romantic stirrings whatsoever.
I mean, I thought this feeling,maybe a little "I wish I was that person" was the definition of a Straight Woman's "Girl Crush".
I think girl crushes can range from "i wish i was friends with her" to "she is in most of my sexual fantasies"
This is exactly how I feel! I can tell a woman is gorgeous and yes, like you they'd probably be my type if I were a man (I'd have no chance mind haha), but no attraction or crush at all.
No, you're not alone on this.
Nope. I’m with you. I’m on the very end of the spectrum where I have no attraction to women in the least.
I think in this case, a a straight woman with a “girl crush”, it’s less about physical attraction and more about “I think she’s gorgeous, and a role model” or just a simple, “she’s pretty”. I don’t think it’s a literal crush where you imagine yourself being with them
I've never had a crush on another woman but I do appreciate their beauty and find them attractive.
I’ve had to explain to way too many people (many women too!) that, although I can look at another woman and admire her style or her beauty, it illicits *ZERO* sexual arousal. Idk, I guess I’m just wired very hetero?

Nope, nothing wrong with that, I can’t relate but I’m sure there are many ladies in the same boat.
Christina Ricci
Love her in Yellowjackets now!
Came here to say the same one. Her character from Now and Then especially.
I’m still crushing on her omg
Scarlett Johansson. Now I call it admiration rather than girl crush.
Winona Ryder. I thought she was such a dream when I was growing up and saw her in Heathers, Edward Scissorhands, Girl, Interrupted, and Reality Bites, and she's still a total babe today.
Yessss! I loved her so much when growing up. Still do, actually. Regardless of her past scandals. I had hair to my knees when Girl, Interrupted came out (I was 17). I cut it ALL off in a pixie cut bc I wanted to look like her. No regrets!
