Well, thanks for this retrospective @bloghomework @missy @rambo @lyxzen !
Indeed I want to link the topic with the present situation of my celebrity crushes because while I was thinking about it realized what changed. Here we go ♥
When I began to read and watch Harry Potter I felt in love with Daniel Radcliffe, I was 10
I had so much posters of HP… I even had one just above my bed. It was a portrait of Daniel Radcliffe in B&W, I admit that I kissed it once T_T I read every single magazine with his face on the cover !
Then I realised that Ron/Rupert Grint wasn’t bad too.
So i reconnected with my passion for gingers. I already had a crush on a Miss during a Miss France contest when I was 8. I wanted to be a redhead after that but my mother didn’t wanted to let me do it because she found that vulgar L Finally months later she accepted to put in these red highlights but it failed and.. All my hair turned ginger :p
So to continue with redheads/venitian blonde I must admit that the movie of my teenage was The Virgin Suicides by Sofia Coppola. And even if she was a dumb kid, she was the rebel : I fell in love with Lux/Kirsten Dunst (-ginger alert- I loved her in Spider Man too)
I found the perfect gif to illustrate my passion for her, this moment in the movie is so representative (sorry for the dirty fake old effect on the picture)
After that I turned into the really dark side when I saw the first Millenium movie with Noomi Rapace (that badasse name she chosen !) as Lisbeth Salander. When I was 15 to 18 I was obssessed with her and I even made a cosplay that I selfshot in a serie of photo that i unfortunately can’t find right now.
I read the trilogy by Stieg Larsson, then I watched the Swedish movies… I watched the American version directed by David Fincher event if I can’t stand the faculty of appropriation with the film successes which take place abroad… (It’s also a question of white washing, but it’s another story !) The worst is probably with Let me In, Chloe Moretz has nothing to embody the main character (Morse is the Swedish version)…
I liked Daniel Craig as Blomkvist even if is too much a « super man » in comparison to the original hero. But I didn’t liked at all their version of Lisbeth… They just turned her into a weak emo girl :’(
Whereas the original character inspired me a lot in a period of my life where I was fragile, I wanted to be colder and stronger so I wouldn’t be that much affected be the events around me. She helped me to be more independant and silencious about my personal problems (I don’t want to complain all the time)
And I adored her style. She seemed to be invincible. She and Siouxsie Sioux were great stylistic inspirations to me.
Now, I can do a transition with the present about my « celebrity crushes ».
In fact I noticed that before it was always about a mix between a fictional character and the act.o.r.ess who incarnated h.im.er.
And since about 4 years I’m more on musicians !
It began with Bianca Casady from CocoRosie. She’s so unique and free, she inspires me a lot.
Then I discovered her ex bf Devendra Banhart (what a perfect match T_T)
I'd like to add that he made this song about Hildegarde Von Bingen that I like a lot, so chill and dreamyyyyy
In the long haired man style I love Aphex Twin (I’m in a huge fandom with him, it’s so serious that I know almost every secret account he has on soundcloud)
Also Grimes have been really important to me as a free woman making electronic experimental music, drawing, with a crazy style.
Once again she inspired me a lot. I still like her style and all but now I disagree with some things she’s doing (she’s totally a part of different industries now while she seemed to be against at first) and with her music (I just CAN’T listen entirely her last album !)
Wow, there are a lot of pictures. 10 years of celebrity crushes x_x
Of courses the crushes I had when I was a teenager are different from the crushes I had. When I've been older I can explain it more because it's more a kind of admiration (even if find them beautiful :3 ) I have...
And you, with how are you crushing now ?
xoxo
Hildegarde
