I wasn’t really thinking in those terms when I was younger. Nobody was a “dream” they where all just people and celebs where all just actors who I understood where putting their best public faces forward. There was nothing to judge or get hook on them them by other than their looks and how well they could please a crowd.
My first childhood crush was Bowie as the Goblin King in Labyrinth. Later on as a teenager, I had a thing for Tim Curry as Dr. Frank-N-Furter of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. What do these men have in common? Arrogant sneers? Cool accents? An ability to artfully lounge or charismatically work a room full of weird degenerate creatures? A riding crop?
Is it any wonder at all that I am now who I am, and doing what I am doing?
I also really liked the vampires in some of the films of the time, Gary Oldman as Dracula, several of the characters from The Lost Boys (but especially Michael when he vamps out at the end)...Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt and in Interview With a Vampire.
And I had celeb-crushes on a few ladies, but Catherine Zeta-Jones was always my favorite.
I had a weird assortment of celebrity crushes as a teen. Christina Aguilera. Michelle Pfeiffer. Catherine Zeta-Jones. But the person I ended up with looks like Tupac meets Dwayne Wayne.
As a teenager, it was the smart guys in school...before that, in my tween years, I remember I wanted to marry either Parker Stevenson, Storm Field from the news (meteorologist), or Mike Nesmith from The Monkees.
I had no "dream woman" as a teenager (which I'll interpret to mean "in high school"). Even back then, I already knew where I stood league-wise, so I'd have been happy with any girl who showed interest in me, regardless of how she looked or what she was into. I used to call it "flexible", but in reality, I was simply desperate . My only requirement was having a guaranteed date for outings and school events (like homecoming or prom).
I did like teenage actresses on shows I watched at the time, like Melissa Joan Hart on "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch". But I understood they were celebrities I'll never meet, so I was never infatuated with them. They were just characters I found attractive and thought were cool.
I eventually found my first girlfriend freshman year of college. She fulfilled that requirement. But me not being attracted to her and us lacking compatible interests put a damper in the short-lived relationship we had.
