My First Crush

On Modern Family tonight it was Gays Night Out. The episode was hilarious as always, but that's not the point of this long overdue blog post.

The guys were talking about their first "boy crush", they drank fruity drinks and discussed which stars were the crush worthy when they were little.

This got me thinking about my first celeb crush. It was long before my NKOTB phase. As a matter of fact the first time I ever saw this person I was wathing Sesame Street. I was a huge fan of Big Bird and the rest of the crew, and if as I child I lived for sweeping the clouds away.

I'll never forget the episode with Savion Glover. I was drawn to him like a moth to light. His feet moved faster than the combined speed of the neighborhood kids chasing the ice cream truck. And that sound...oh that sound....



A few years later I got my first of many pair of tap shoes. They never seemed to make that sound. But, God, did I try. All these years later, my childhood dream of becoming a dancer has long faded. My crush on Savion Glover, however, is just as huge as the day I first laid eyes (and ears) on him.
