Very First Crush

So I saw this today on Buzzfeed and it sparked memories of my very first celebrity crushes. Innocent and fleeting, they take me right back to a simpler time! Here are mine, in chronological order:

1. Bo Duke, from Dukes of Hazzard. I remember watching it when I got home from elementary school and thinking he was the most beautiful man I’d ever seen. And, John Schneider is still very handsome, indeed.

2. Atreyu from the Neverending Story.Exotic and wild. Also, closer to my actual age at the time, and therefore, more attainable.

3. Uncle Jesse from Full House.  I was a babysitter at the time of this major crush. Totally would have babysat those girls just to get a whiff of John Stamos’ perfect head of hair. I sent him a fan letter when I was 12 or 13 and I got a postcard back with his signature stamped on it. Heaven.
