Lets see. I was born in 1962. I firmly remember watching Batman on the black and white TV with my older brothers in first run. And I remember wanting Batman's leotard top to rip open and show me his chest. And we won't even get into watching the Wild Wild West at my grandparents house.
I just knew that if I could get teleported to whatever planet or corner of the universe they were in at the time, that I could be Will Robinson's *best* friend who delivers him from the clutches of Dr. Smith. Ofcourse it was weird because I was 38 at the time. JUST KIDDING...we are the same age. Coincidence? I think not!!!!!
Running home from kindergarten in 1971 to catch the reruns of The Patty Duke Show (because I wanted to be cousin Cathy) and My Three Sons (because I wanted to kill Katie Douglas and have Robbie all to myself).
And then their was that first tingly dream that woke me with a start. Something involving Jack Lord from Hawaii Five-O and some sort of wide black leather belt.
The moment one begins staring at bulges in clothing is a clue..!

ReplyDeleteI think I was around 8 or 9. I was reading Brenda Starr in the comics and suddenly realized I was very attracted to Basil St. john.
ReplyDeleteIn First Grade I had a mad crush on the entire US Olympic Men's Swim team.

ReplyDeleteThe mid-1970's watching Speed Racer cartoon reruns. I was extremely jealous of Speed's girlfriend, Trixie(and not just because of her name!).
