Valentine's Day – when everyone's thoughts turn to love...or lust.
From an early age, we are dreaming of a handsome prince to sweep us off our feet and I think this often forms our ideas of what our true love will look like.
The earliest crush I remember having was on Christopher Reeve, as Superman. I know, I know but that lovely dark hair and muscly body was still lovely, regardless of him wearing his pants over his tights. And I was only about five at the time lol
I progressed onto George Michael from Wham, yes I realise now I was barking up the wrong tree but he had lovely dark hair too, before he destroyed it with bleach.
The teenage years saw my bedroom walls covered with pictures of Jordan Knight from New Kids on the Block, and hell, I'm not afraid to say he's still hot!
When Buffy was the hottest show on telly, the dark and brooding Angel was more my bag than Billy-Idol-Lookalike Spike, even though he was the funny one and the loveliest guy in real life. (Yes, I did meet James Marsters and I will boast about it forever more!)
You can see there's a theme developing here – no blonds! I never found myself attracted to one, never dated one and even now when we have the sexy Eric in True Blood, I'd rather watch the tall, dark and handsome, Alcide. Well, you can see why…
So, when I was asked what my perfect man would look like, I always described him with dark hair, dimples and a fantastic sense of humour and lucky girl that I am, my OH embodies all the qualities I ever wished for. And he still lets me drool over Joe Manganiello when I feel the urge :)
So, enough of my dodgy childhood crushes, tell me about yours. As part of the Valentine's Hop, I'm running a competition to win a copy of Pyramid of Passion.
