Barbies were my fucking life as a kid. Hours upon hours of just sitting in my little fantasy world creating stories based on a pile of plastic toys that were both giving me companionship and a heap of insecurities all at the same time. Of course, there comes a day in everyone’s life when they... Continue Reading →
The Chipmunk Childhood Crush
Later this week we’ll dive into the more innocent side of crushes, and plenty of nostalgia, when we talk to ‘Nineties N Noughties’ host, Jamie Dyer about his childhood crush but first...I had to think long and hard about this one. Not because I lack crushes from my elementary years but because I really wanted... Continue Reading →
The Hot Topic Middle School Crush
When I was growing up, four elementary schools wound up having to funnel into two middle schools. We basically had to choose which school, and what people, we wanted to be around for the most fucked up formative years of our lives. Sadly, the boy I’d crushed on throughout most of elementary school had chosen... Continue Reading →
Hip Hop Crush: I Love You 3000
While Nelly has made my hormones go a little wild since teaching the world about grammar of the country variety, I couldn’t help but highlight a hip hop crush that just seems like an absolute trip to me and that is one-half of Outkast, the one and only Andre 3000. His mouth can move as... Continue Reading →
Small Screen Crush on Aisle 5
Every fall a cascade of new shows try and make their way into our hearts. Of course, some do but that doesn’t mean networks will keep them around for long. That was the case in 2014 when NBC aired ‘A to Z.’ Only getting to the letter “M,” this adorable (and quite frankly educational) show... Continue Reading →

With absolutely no interest in a science that involved math, I headed towards physics and never thought about chemistry again. Ironically... Continue Reading →
’90s Crush Meet World
In the midst of a rewatch, news came out that three of the core-four of ‘Boy Meets World’ treated Trina McGee like shit. Those who don’t know who Trina McGee is...you obviously didn’t watch the show. She played Angela, the only Black character to get an arc and appear more than once or even twice...Wasn’t... Continue Reading →

Sometimes a crush isn’t on the person, but rather the idea of what they represent. This is the case this week as we head back to high school. Nicole and Sarah of The Homance Chronicles podcast discovered they crushed on the same guy back in the day and will talk at length about who could very... Continue Reading →
Please Don’t Stop the Music…Crush: Garth Brooks
During a week where our crush focus is on musicians and the wonders they possess, I couldn’t talk about anyone else other than Garth Brooks. See, there is no real attraction felt towards this man physically. Not even in his prime did I look at him and think, yup - that’s my man! And no,... Continue Reading →
‘American Pie’ Sexually Awoke a Generation
Being from a generation that bridged the gap between a pre and post-internet world, I feel like things like porn and sex were still a wild concept. Those with internet access weren’t gaining too much traction in their sex-ed lessons compared to those of us who just had to depend on a late night with... Continue Reading →
