Who was the first celebrity that you ever had a crush on? I think the first woman whose sexuality overwhelmed me was Deborah Harry. It was intimidating--the red lip gloss, the bedroom eyes. She just seemed so adult, so nocturnal, so foreign. I knew there was something inherently exciting about her, but it was scary too (and if Deborah Harry made me uneasy, then Grace Jones simply terrified me). I'd probably say Bo Derek was the first sex symbol that I was down with. Lynda Carter was there too, along with Valerie Bertinelli, Daisy Duke, Pam Dawber, Julie Newmar and Agent 99 (re-runs). I was hot for Bailey on WKRP too. Later, the first woman I really fell in love with on screen was Jessica Lange in Tootsie.

What about you? And this doesn't just have to be a straight guy thing.

I am more than a little embarrassed to say that I had posters (plural) of Debbie Gibson up on my wall next to posters of Winfield and Mattingly. I also recall enjoying Gloria Estefan's "Can't Stay Away From You" music video and being disappointed when April was replaced on "Knight Rider". (First!)

Deb Harry and Paulina P both good choices, Yankee fans have good taste.

7 Don't worry about showing your age, I'll top that easily.

I don't know if this was the first, but certainly the hottest of my childhood: Diana Rigg as Mrs. Peel on the Avengers. Oh. My. God.

Victoria Principal from the TV show 'Dallas' was the first woman where I thought "I'd like to get me some of that". I think the first woman I thought was sexy without really understanding it was Stefanie Powers in a guest appearance on The Six Million Dollar Man. It was a 2-part episode where Lee Majors meets Bigfoot. Stefanie Powers had on one of those skintight bodysuits that 2 Erin Grey made famous. Bidi bidi indeed. I also liked figure skater Linda Fratianne's twirling bottom in the 1980 Olympics. That could have been patriotism but I have a feeling if her name was Olga Fratianov I still would have like her.

I guess Alex and I must be around the same age, though I think he is younger.

On Dodger Thoughts, I believe the preferences lean toward Bailey Quarters, I am sure lots of teen age crushes on Valerie Bertinelli, Olivia Newton John. I can remember Jessica Lange in the first remake of King Kong (I did like Naomi Watts in the more recent version).

Of course, today, the Dodger Thoughts poster girl in Jenna Fischer and somehow lots of appreciation for Winnie Cooper aka Danica McKeller (sp.)

5 Erin Grey indeed. Oh my.

7 I was about to say, if Alex is bringing up Bo Derek, then Farrah must also be named. But if one mentions Farrah, one should also mention Cheryl Ladd.

21 Ah yes, the fishnet.

But as for the women of the silver screen... I had a brief yen for Andie MacDowell after "Greystoke" came out, but I moved on to Madeleine Stowe ("Stakeout") and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio ("Color of Money"). But there's always been the soft soft for Michelle Pfeiffer ("Ladyhawke") and Mary Steenburgen ("Time After Time"). And has it really been 23 years since Kathleen Turner appeared in "Romancing the Stone"?

Did anyone see the rumor on MLBTR where it had the Yanks sending Hughes and Melky to San Diego for Peavy? I really hope this is some kind of joke. The Yankees should be forever done with NL pitchers. The chances of one adjusting to the AL are few and far between.

As a child of the early/mid-80s, I'd have to say Cindy Crawford was my ideal. Special honors go to Phoebe Cates who was before my time, but definitely embodies that extremely attractive, "hot but seemingly attainable" look for me more than anyone since.

Since Marty at 14 said my real "first," here's my second: Joi Lansing.

http://tinyurl.com/2g6ry5

I used to watch reruns of "Love That Bob" when I was a real young kid, and on almost every episode, this incredibly voluptuous and sexy blonde would walk onto the set for a few seconds, basically have sex with Bob Cummings and then leave. And then Ann B. Davis would make a wisecrack.

That's what I thought I had store for me when I grew up.

I also was in love with Tina Louise of "Gilligan's Island," Donna Douglas (?) of "The Beverly Hillbillies" and Julie Newmar who was in Bob Cumming's next series, "My Living Doll" before she was Catwoman.

Barbara Eden (Jeanie)... Other notables were Ellie May Clampett and Lynda Carter (WonderWoman).

And I don't know how many here were into pro rasslin during the mid-late '80s but Missy Hyatt was as hot as I thought a woman could get.

So here's something uncanny: For some reason I was muttering the phrase "Pins and needles, needles and pins, a happy man is a man that grins!" and just as I'm saying that, I load up BB only to see "Homina homina homina."

Kind of spooked me for a half a second there.

Cindy Crawford. Kathy Ireland.

My first big crush was Mary-Louise Parker. That woman has aged like a fine wine.

I'm not sure if she counts as a celebrity, but there's a time I remember that the best part of staying home sick from school was catching a Bodyshaping episode with Kiana Tom.

52 Oh, and there was some weird S&M stuff going on that really penetrated the inner recesses of my psyche at a young age: something about Jeannie's catty rivalry with her evil twin, the brunette, and the latter imprisoning the former in her bottle, rendering her absolutely helpless.

That was a whole nother level of sexuality for a sitcom, no?

52 Same with Wonder Woman, actually. THere's one scene etched in my head of Wonder Woman being tied up in a chair, like a barber's chair, but not as Wonder Woman. She had to spin around in the chair a few times to change into Wonder Woman, whereupon she proceeded to break her bonds and kick some ass.

Tina Louise. That's a good one. You know she went with Bo Bolinsky, right?

Debra Winger is a good call. There was something too "real" about her to be a fantasy figure for me, but she was really outstanding in "Urban Cowboy" and "Officer and a Gentleman." I remember my mom taking us to see "Officer" I was 11. I thought I was so grown seeing that in theater.

Actually going back to something I did not see in its original run.

Mary Tyler Moore from the Van Dyke show, very alluring and quite sexy (as much as you could be back then.)

It wasn't until the Nick at Nite reruns of her second series that I realized that Mary was, ummm, a very active single woman during her second show.

I was all about the TV blondes at an early age:

Marilyn from the Munsters...
Wrangler Jane from F-Troop...

I also saw the Mel Brooks classics when I was young, and Madeline Kahn floored me.
Loved Terry Garr in Frankenstein.

Damn, Catwoman was fine... every last one of em.

The one I'll never forget is the one from Kentucky Fried Movie. If you saw it, you know who I'm talking about.

From Boston.com:

Quiet offseason on tap for Sox?
Coming off a World Series title, might the Red Sox be a little less active this offseason? "There's a chance for this to be a little bit different of an offseason for us," Theo Epstein told the Boston Herald. "We feel like the foundation is sound, we like a lot of our players and we like the development of a lot of our young players. We're going to have to be patient instead of trying to make things happen: Be patient and capitalize on just the right opportunities might be the best thing to do. It's kind of a nice feeling." ... Locking up Schilling gives the Red Sox a lot of flexibility. With starting pitchers Josh Beckett, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz, Tim Wakefield, and now Schilling aboard, the Sox can do a few things, perhaps even package a young pitcher in a trade. More from the Globe's Nick Cafardo: Both the Twins and A's are eyeing Boston's young talent. The Twins might entertain a Johan Santana deal, while the A's might make Dan Haren available. Haren is interesting because he is tied up through 2009 at $4 million and then $5.5 million, with an option for $7.75 million in 2010. The Sox would have to part with one of their young pitchers in either scenario, though a Santana deal would be contingent on getting him signed long-term, at money that could reach north of $20 million per season. "We're probably out of the free agent market unless there's a real value there," said Epstein. "As far as the trade market is concerned, if we have a chance to add a real good, young, controllable pitcher, sure. But we're pretty happy with our depth right now. What we needed was quality to protect the remainder of the rotation."

How about IPK for Haren? IPK plus a minor league position player? Would you do IPK + Melky for Haren? You might be able to get Haren for less than Santana and I think Haren might actually be the better deal.

0 My first celebrity that I had a crush on was Alyssa Milano. I think Alyssa and me are the same age, my first crush on her was when she was on "Who's the Boss?".

Even after Carl Pavano ran through her, I still find myself having a crush on her. I ended up reading the book "The Entitled" because she mentioned it on her MLB blog.

I loved Linda Carter, too - I still remember those Wonder Woman episodes and being an overly excited 8 year old. Yes, I've been a pervert since about 3 or 4 years old - at least that's what my mom tells me. Milano is the girl I most remember from my youth because of her age and I actually felt that if I met her I could probably get her.

Now that I'm older, I find myself liking the Paris Hilton and Kim Kardsian types. I like girls that make home videos, something about them I find exciting and fun. I love fun!!! I'm not into the boring types like Jennifer Aniston.

for me, I'm sure there were probably earlier crushes, but the first I can really remember was probably Gillian Anderson from X-Files, like season 3 onwards, once she got a really good haircut. so pretty and sooo focused! later in high school I became simultaneously obsessed with Parker Posey and Justine Frischmann (the singer from Elastica). what can I say, I like a brunette with attitude! I am always appalled by the fact that I've lived in NY for 9 years now and am like the only person I know that hasn't seen Posey walking around the east village
