My First Crushes

1 ~ Hawkeye & Trapper

The hilarity, the booze, the Hawaiian shirts, the sensitivity, the pranks, the anarchy.

2 ~ River Phoenix in Stand By Me

A tanned bad boy in a tight white t-shirt.

3 ~ Christopher Plummer as Captain Georg von Trapp

The uniform made all the difference. I would've answered to that whistle & folk danced over the mountains with the Captain.

4 ~ Uncle Jesse

Even 8 year old girls called bullshit on the saccharine spewfest that was Full House. But we put up with DJ's hair, Stephanie's lisp & Michelle's bratty behaviour for an occassional glimpse of Rock & Roller Uncle Jesse.

5 ~ Macgyver

Macgyver was one of those rare shows that my whole family enjoyed. Even my Ma was drawn to Richard Dean Anderson's mulletted glory.
