Teenage Heart Throbs
OMG was I a dork. Looking back, I can see it…but back then, I was oblivious, completely blind.
Donny Osmond. He was my number one dream boat when I was 12. I actually saved my allowance ($2 a week) for almost a year so I could buy the Donny and Marie Around the World Tour album. Now, I had others: Bobby Sherman, Christopher Knight (Brady Bunch) and the Cassidy boys to name a few. But Donny was my top guy. And my friends all know it.
So today, I was presented with a custom Donny Osmond CD and I was immediately 12 again. I stomped my feet and laughed out loud. I was so looking forward to this! What a great idea! Jen, Melisa and I immediately popped it into the CD player and waited with bated breath for Puppy Love to queue up. Well, my breath was bated. Melisa was laughing at me and Jennifer just shook her head.
He sounded like a girl. I don’t remember that at all!
Worse, Jennifer was right. He sounded pretty much like Justin Beiber. And you know what, he looked like Justin too! We quickly hit “stop” and busted out laughing. And vowed to stop making fun of our nieces swooning over this boy or that.
Oh well. He’s still pretty cute. And he did win Dancing with the Stars Season 9. So there is that…right?
Come on… ’fess up. I know you had at least one “dreamboat”. Who was it??

Scott Baio … Matt Dillon … Shaun Cassidy … and then I saw An Officer and a Gentleman and totally shifted Geres.
And Justin Bieber does look and sound a lot like Donny, but Donny was and still IS a cutie.
Let’s not forget David Cassidy and the ever so famous “I Think I Love You” from the Partridge Family Soundtrack.Had to have it! Come on’ I know some of you are already singing along! For those of you that forgot the words, this may help:

Looks like I’m not the only one that thought he was a “dreamboat”…almost 950,000 hits on this link alone. 10 days and counting, Marisa!
River Phoenix was my main squeeze!
