So spending these few days at my dad's house going through all of his life that he hoarded in every crevice and corner of the house I grew up in. I couldn't help feeling somewhat nostalgic at times, seeing old posters and artwork and remembering the countless amount of Playboys my dad had and seeing the endless amount of tack holes all over the walls from the various center folds and pictures of models and celebrities I swooned over in my adolescent years.

At first I didn't know where to begin but once I got started I almost couldn't stop..

Now let's start with the amazingly gorgeous Phoebe Cates..I pretty much lost my shit when I saw her in Fast Times at Ridgemont High and I don't think I missed another movie she was in after seeing her in that..I can't help to mention how much I geekily swooned over the awesomeness and absolute gorgeousness of Ms. @rambo when she paid tribute to Fast Times in her set with @darryldarko Seriously..if you have not ogled it yet, do it now..

There's no particular order with the rest of these lovely ladies they all held the same level of importance to me at some point in my life..

Madonna had my heart with her first record and Desperately Seeking Susan and still held through most of my adult years..I still geek out about when I finally crossed off my bucket list the opportunity I had to shoot one of her performances..

I'm so all over the place, being such a movie nerd..working for years in video stores..I have to mention Lea Thompson in Back to the Future as well as the ladies of Mystic Pizza (oh..man..) I can't forget about Winona Ryder in Edward Scissorhands..ahhhh

Two words..Cordelia Chase..Cordelia Chase..Cordelia Chase and honestly..I'm all about Willow and Buffy and Anya as well..but I've always related myself with Xander Harris and he was my absolute hero when Cordelia fell for him although not his best moment when he cheated on her..

Adding another beauty in here, one who probably should've been mentioned earlier on given my level of geekdom but definitely cannot go without having her on this list..Princess Leia!! She was my everything as a boy and I seriously can't believe I almost forgot her!!

Finally I cannot go without mentioning the one who always has been an inspiration for me as a photographer/painter from her early days on as Ms Norma Jean Roy and her Hollywood name, Marilyn Monroe 😍

I'm gonna stop there before I start adding new names because I will..Anyway, who are some of your childhood crushes?
