They watched for their money but didn't like it. Yet, I've never really met a woman who didn't love it!<br /><br />And really funny about Doogie Howser! He's very attractive.

Danny Bonaduce was a little punk, and now a Philly punk cum local celeb/cum seeming to be getting his act/life together. I also get all tingly thinking of Kevin Kline, old though he is (as am I, heh heh). Always liked him. And Travolta in Saturday Night Fever...classic.

Welcome Back, Kotter was one of my favorite shows and I thought Vinnie was so cool. <br /><br />I'm thinking I need to check out Colin Firth's portrayal of Mr Darcy. I've never seen it. ( I know- GASP!) I've seen his name listed several times for this award.<br /><br />Okay- I'm going to have to think about it and I will play along. I'm not very conventional either with what I'm attracted to ( hint: I had thing for Doogie Howser, M.D.- and I still love Neil Patrick Harris even though I know I would be barking up the wrong tree, so to speak.)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13882744458676551462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156821579309080273.post-87363596654530555342010-06-05T18:42:42.341-07:002010-06-05T18:42:42.341-07:00Oh, Colin.

Then you have to pass it on to 5 other bloggers!<br /><br />And BLW, hands off on Colin Firth! (My heart is still pitter pattering...)
