10 On the 10th

It's June 10. Which means that it is Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh's birthday. He is 88 today. I'm sure Queen Elizabeth is having a fabulous birthday cake whipped up for him. And maybe Harry and William are coming home for dear ole' grandpa's birthday shindig.

But, as interesting as all that is to think about. June 10 means something totally different around these parts. It's a party, alright. But not for royalty (unless you count the princess complex that I'm beginning to get because of my new purple laundry room). Nope. It's a bloggity carnival, hosted by my good buddy, Mer, who is Living It Up @ 7000 Feet.

I was watching one of those goofy vH1 specials the other day; one of the "Greatest ______ of All Time" shows. Anyway. I got to thinking about all the hunkified stars that I crushed on back in the day.

So....here you go. My list of 10 stars that used to grace my walls in poster form and that I watched religiously on tv....because I'm loyal like that.

10. Mark-Paul Gossalaar....as Zack from Saved By the Bell. Oh. He was dreamy. And he always had the coolest stuff, too. Like that awesome cell phone that was as big as a shoebox. I hear that they are talking of a Saved By the Bell reunion show. I will watch. I promise.

9. Luke Perry.....Dylan McKay from 90210. The real 90210. He was so cute in a such a bad boy way. I had a poster of him that hung on my wall where he was wearing a denim cutoff shirt with ripped denim jeans. Back when denim and denim was cool. Hmmmm.

8. Jason Priestly.....Brandon from 90210. I had a thing for that show. Can you tell? I remember his hair. And all the boys at my highschool tried to pull his hair off. And they just couldn't rock it like he could.

7. Fred Savage.....as Kevin Arnold from The Wonder Years. He was so cute. I used to imagine that I was Winnie Cooper, in all her long, dark, flippy hair wonder.

6. Brad Pitt....back when he wasn't all weird and old. I remember watching him in movies like A River Runs Through It and Legends of the Fall, and doing nothing but swoon. He was cute then.

5. Leonardo DiCaprio....as Jack in Titanic. Oh my stars. I watched that movie at least a bazillion times. Now he is all green and driving plug-in cars, but when he "let go" and slipped into that ocean....I'm not sure it gets better than that inside movie magic.

4. Ashton Kutcher....pre-Mr. Demi Moore. I loved That 70s Show. And he was so stupidly lovely. Now he's, well....not so much.

3. All the boys from InSync. Yes. I was one of those girls.

2. Scott Wolf....as Bailey in Party of Five. He was just cute. 'Nuff said.


1. Neil Patrick Harris....as Doogie Howser, M.D. I thought I was going to marry him. And I decided that I was going to be a doctor because of him (we see how that plan turned out. ahem.). Now he is on How I Met Your Mother, and though he's still funny....I'm not really sure what I was thinking back in the day.

So. There you have it. All my crushes in famous form. Who did you crush on back in the day?

And head on over to Mer's place to check out all the other fun 10 on the 10th lists!
