First Crush


 “Who is the first human you ever had a crush on?” (Film/TV/pop stars included)

I saw this question on Jessica Zafra’s blog last night, and for a brief moment I was transported back to my teenage days, specifically on the day I first saw Christopher Reeve smiling from a Superman movie poster.

I stopped on my tracks, and I could feel this fatuous grin slowly breaking on my face. Frankly, I did not even know what hit me. For sure, that was not the first time I had seen a good-looking (alright, gorgeous) face -- Hollywood has been churning out drool-worthy faces and characters for decades -- and I know how studio shots (read: retouched) shots can be miles away from real life, but when I saw Christopher Reeve it was like I had stepped into a different world.
