Celebrity Crush

A recent discussion in the WLBDA Facebook group prompted me to ask this question: who is your celebrity crush and do you have him/her in doll form?

My celebrity crush is Denzel Washington. I have a doll created in his likeness, but my doll doesn't look as much like Denzel as I would like. I wish that I have a 1/6 scale trumpet for my Denzel to play in these photos, but I don't, so this horn will have to do.

I once had a crush on Wesley Snipes back in the early 90's, but not for long. I have a Wesley Snipes doll as his character Blade. My crush on Wesley was gone by the time the movie Blade was released. I thought that both Denzel and Wesley were hot in the movie Mo' Better Blues.

My crush on Denzel began in 1984 when I saw the movie A Soldier's Story. I thought that Denzel's character Private First Class Peterson was super cute, and I admired Denzel's acting abilities. My crush on Denzel has persisted to this day. 

I remember seeing Wesley Snipes' first movie Wildcats and I thought he was very funny, but not particularly attractive. That opinion changed when I saw Mo' Better Blues. As I recall, he had one scene in particular that I found especially pleasing and it really captured my young imagination.

I admire both Denzel and Wesley for their acting abilities. I loved seeing them together in Mo' Better Blues, and I loved seeing them individually in movies that would follow.

My respect and admiration for Denzel Washington extends beyond his acting abilities and his good looks. For that reason, the crush that I formed on him when I was 14 years old is still going strong with me as a middle aged woman.
