Ahhh - Youth

David Cassidy. I loved him so when I was 12. Didn't every girl my age? I think it was his hair. Just what was the fascination we had in the 70s with hair?
A friend forwarded a story about David's latest project - a book in which he spills all his sex secrets including a hookup with a woman named Barbara the Butter (named thus because she liked to cover her lovers in butter). I'm not one for kiss and tell books and truthfully, the thought of this one leaves me a bit disconcerted. Perhaps it's a great thing to write about one's sexcapades from 30 plus years ago, I don't know... I think it's sort of sad. Writing about your sexcapades from this year - now that's a different story ;)
Sigh - and he's 57. Hard to think of one's teen idol being 57. Not that 57 is old for anyone else - just my teen idol.
Who was your teen idol/heartthrob?

that's so weird. i've been working on a story and keith partridge is part of it.
maybe you can answer a couple of questions for me. the narrator is an adult woman and part of the story is her childhood crush on keith partridge. one of the questions you've already answered...12yrs old. i had her remembering a little older. the other question is would she/did you fantasize about the tv character or the actor?
thanks.
sss
Well, I can honestly say I wouldn't fantasize about him now. At 12 my fantasies were pretty bland. Him being my "boyfriend", kissing him, my friends knowing he was my boyfriend. Simple little girl thoughts.
Dearest Lady Julia,
at my 12 my idol was catWoman, Her power, all HER.
with love
servant john.
oh i know...that's exactly what my character is reminiscing about.(that part of the story is not the least bit sexual) i'm just not sure what will ring more true. at 12 she knew it was just a tv show, but would she be dreaming of david or keith?
Catwoman :) I think many young boys idolized her. Many say she is why they become interested in hypnodomination.
I certainly dreamed (fantasized) about what it would be like to live in the town where he did and do things with them when they were on the road. Remember the scenes where he was always mobbed by the girls? I sometimes thought about stepping in front of him, telling all those girls he was mine and sending them away.
Hmm - I'd forgotten about that :)
