Nicki Elson is the coolest author! She wrote the fun & sexy 80's Romp Three Daves, and today is hosting the Tumble 4 Ya Blogfest.
Who was my 80's crush? Here are some hints . . .
"Your ego's writing checks your body can't cash!"
"I feel the need . . . the need . . . for SPEED!"
That's right, my crush is MAVERICK, otherwise known as Tom Cruise.
I think I saw the movie Top Gun like 20 times in the theaters, and I was the first in line at the Blockbuster store to order my VHS tape of the beloved flick.
Hot men in their dress whites? *thud*
And then there's the volleyball scene (ah, Iceman, you freeze me with your charms):
Even though little Tommy comes up to my collarbone, back then I thought he was a dreamboat. Then he got all Scientology on me and bashed psychiatric medication, and I became a bit disillusioned. But my teenage self really fell for that showty with the cocky bravado and charming smile.
Can't wait to check out all the 80's crushes on the Blogfest. And don't forget to enter my giveaway below for the Follower Love Giveaway!

He's an excellent choice and I've seen him pop up one more place so far. As I commented there, seeing Top Gun on the big screen w/ my very best girlfriends is one of my favorite movie memories ever. Large scale volleyball scene, hummina hummina...
Thanks so much for joining the fest and fessing up. (I'm having so much fun!)
PS; NKOTB RULES!!!!
Nicki, it's true a lot of cuties are short or gay, but my all time crush Wentworth Miller is 6'1" *swoons* Great idea for this blogfest, Nicki!
Wow, my head has been in the 80's all day and I kind of like it. :)
Suze, you must right that wrong! I hear Top Gun 3D is coming out soon. It will probably seem total cheeseball now that we're adults.
Susan, to each her own though I think my crush has aged a little better than YOUR crush! Hee hee.
Squid, I'm 5'9" so I feel Kelly's forced-to-wear-flats-and-he-still-needs-a-box pain. ;)
L.G. I loved when Maverick was all angsty after the death of Goose. To my teenage brain, that was some damn good acting! The 80's are a very good place to hang out today. :)

TF Walsh, I appreciate that. Tommy is not for everyone.
Arlee, what are your favorite Tom Cruise films? Besides Top Gun, A Few Good Men is one of the best ever in my opinion.
Catherine, I'm heading over to your blog now.
Theresa, Tom certainly dominated the movie scene in the 80's and 90's. Remember Days of Thunder? *laughs*
Brinda, men in uniform have a special place in my heart.
batman!
the saint!
mad mordigan? (willow)
val kilmer was the dude =)
nice 80s memories!
Tara, ha ha. Obviously we have a Val fan on our hands.
Linda, you don't have to keep your crush secret here. Let it out, baby!
Nancy, eek! Wouldn't be good to crush on a guy who looked like your brother. Gnarley. Thanks for the return follow.
Heather, it's amazing how these actors keep up their appearances. Money (and surgery) are amazing things.
Well cool that you know some of the best DM songs... I've had others say they still like DM, but no one mentioned a song title :)
Although they are *still* my fav. group, I now listen to Trance when writing (which is my main music time) I *love* Oceanlab, Justine Suissa and Above and Beyond :)
He's been good in everything I've seen him in.

Arlee, I wasn't a big fan of Far and Away (too long for my tastes) but it did get to show off his acting chops. I'm now a follower on your a to z blog. :)
