....................................

don't you just love a slumber party? comfy pjs, silly movies, telling your friends, old & new, your thoughts & crushes & dreams.... such fun! join us! you can catchup with some of our other slumber party fun here: and for today's party question: who are your top 3 TOPSECRET tv crushes?

....................................

good-golly, nicies.
it's been a fabulous 3 YEARS since our first rikrak studio slumber party! in honour: let's celebrate with a redo of our very first get-to-know-you-all-nighter-of-a-question. my current obsessions have changed a wee bit. i'd love to hear yours! in 2009 i confessed my tv crushes: the professor from gilligan's island; & george stroumboulopoulos. here's this year's updated version.... 


.......


i must admit, i'm not such a tv watcher. but over the years, i have had a few spurts of tv - ing - fun! they heyday for my tv watching was really when i was in my preteens. there were a variety of great 1960's and 70's reruns on in that era, that were right up my good-n'-wholesome alley!
and so...
one of my first tv crushes was was born...


crush #1: that dashing pioneer = pa. 
(a.k.a charles ingalls played by michael landon on *little house on the prairie*) 

okay - i know it sounds a tad improbable. he was a little wee bit (ahem...) older than me. but what a loveable guy that pa was! charming smile. devoted dad. all-around-nicey. great log-house-builder. oh-so-settlers-era-crushable. i was smitten. (and i must confess - we borrowed a couple of little house on the prairie episodes to show little rikrak recently, and my love of charles ingalls hasn't faded! sigh. who's with me, pioneer-lovers!?!

............



fast forward to the mid-80's ... tv crush #2.... *sigh* ... remington steele (pierce brosnan) ... to be honest.. i don't think i ever really saw this show about a former conman turned detectivey guy, as a youngin'. (surely i wouldn't have been allowed! it still seems so wonderfully racy!)

but i do recall a glorious full-sized poster of remington steele that my very cool babysitter had up in her bedroom... and i was hooked! everytime i would be @ her place, i would just stare and stare...
crush #2: is it wrong to have a crush on a poster? 

i could just tell from that photo... we should BE together!
he was so dashing, so debonair, so clever and with such spy-ly intelligence! that's tv crush #2.
............


oh deary me.
charles ingalls wouldn't be too happy to hear that more recently i've fallen for ...

crush #3: baddy idris elba. 


i'm thinking this must be more of a pretend-person tv crush, than an actual tv character crush (eek! cause elba's *stringer bell* on the wire sure wasn't such a nice guy!). but at least this one is post-1987! 

idris elba plays all kinds of rotten. 
& yes... it makes him oh-so-SWOONworthy!
....................
 
so there's my 3 not-so-secret tv crushes.
let's snuggle into our cozy sleeping bags, open another bag of sour cream & onion chips,
turn on some cyndi lauper, giggle & whisper and hear yours!
