Reply to debm55 (Original post)

Wed May 28, 2025, 02:45 PM

Not sure which one was first. Lori Martin starred in a TV show about Velvet Brown, not sure if the name of the TV show was the same as the Elizabeth Taylor movie National Velvet. Lori Martin was said to look very much like Elizabeth Taylor. This was around 1960 and I was about 10. At about the same time the movie The Parent Trap came out starring Hayley Mills in a dual role as identical twin sisters Susan and Sharon. I was equally smitten by both Lori Martin and Hayley Mills. Those movies National Velvet and The Parent Trap are still among my favorites, but the TV show starring Lori Martin didn't last very long and now it almost no longer exists. I just did a search on YouTube and was able to find only snippets of that TV show, except for one apparently full episode that has been colorized. As for The Parent Trap, it's a Disney movie and I don't think I would be able to provide a link to the full movie for free, only snippets. The Parent Trap shows up all the time on TV, but it's always the remake with Lindsey Lohan in the dual role. Why does nobody ever show the original? That Lindsey Lohan remake is pretty good too, but the original of these classics is always the best version.

When I was 10 or something my Dad took me along on a shopping spree related to a big party he and my Mom were throwing. He took me in to the liquor store where the transaction took way too long for a kid just discovering the joys of adhd. Wandering around I found an early issue of Playboy among the other magazines. Thumbing through it I was a little surprised—though not titillated—by the photographic revelations of ‘lady stuff’ that I wouldn’t become interested in for a few more years. But then I saw the center spread. She was nude, of course, and she didn’t have nipples or a bush. Her image was, in a way, almost chaste. But those eyes! Not only was she super cute, her eyes were both playful and challenging. Love at first sight. I got busted by my dad and the clerk as I was standing there mesmerized, holding the magazine up over my head, staring at her face, the foldout touching the floor. The clerk said something like, “I see trouble ahead!” He was right. I’ve been a sucker for Betty Page types ever since.

I was around 10. I subsequently threw him over for Mark Lindsay of Paul Revere and the Raiders. My entire bedroom wall was plastered with pictures of him. Wow, was he cute. ❤️

David Cassidy was a cutie too, but I was already committed to Mark by the time he came along.

but then he dropped out. I was so disappointed. Now he's auctioning off almost all of his possessions and moving to Hawaii, so my dream of seeing him in concert one more time before one of us is gone is over. Sigh.

I was very young, 5 or 6. The Four Tops appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show. The sound of his voice caught my attention and I was mesmerized. Even at that age I knew my parents were racist. I am surprised that they even let us watch them. I knew the feelings I had for Levi were so different than anything I had ever felt and those feelings never went away. Years later I realized that was the moment I knew I was gay, I just didn't know it!

Thanks for asking and allowing me to share a beautiful memory!

May You Be Healthy, Safe and Happy....AND LOVED!

This is getting WAY OFF TOPIC but here goes! lol

About 2 months ago I heard a song and it brought back that connection to my youth, to Levi and most importantly to Janis Ian. The song was "At Seventeen". SO, I wrote Janis and told her how her song affected me then and how Levi was my first crush. Isn't that silly? WELL, JANIS EMAILED ME BACK! She shared a personal story with me (that I want to keep private). I was blown away! I can't believe I've shared my first crush story twice this year since it's been decades that I've given it any thought and two amazing people responded! Janis and YOU! Makes me feel loved!

Thank you!
Reis

I saw him on Bandstand; Dick Clark interviewed him and he showed how he could take the same melody and rework it in different modes. I was captivated. I also liked his music
