Oh, Peter

Last Friday, the girls at Drag Race All Stars had to write a song to their celebrity crushes. They choose from Hannibal Lecter to Mr. Rogers. It was fun, in true Drag Race fashion, with double entendres galore and campy references. But what caught my attention was RuPaul herself confessing her crush was Peter Lupus, from Mission: Impossible, the original TV series. And I can totally see why. Can you?

The thing is, when we talk about the man we fantasize about when we realize we LIKE men, that man is usually tied to some kind of pop culture moment. We make the object of our lust or desire somebody who is easily recalled, someone who is part  our daily life, part of movies, TV, sports. Someone who can be summoned at a moment's notice to fulfill a fantasy or two. Hence Ru mentioning Peter Lupus, right? He was on TV and was what we could call famous. And yummy. Beefcake for days. Can't blame her.

Well, when I realized I liked men (very early on, by all accounts) I did not focus on one man, exactly. It was more the idea of a man: a combination of movie star, superhero and man next door. He did not have a specific face, or a specific body. It was mostly the idea of him, somebody who was big and strong (I've never been a big guy, even less when I was thirteen,  so 'big' is very relative) and who could do things with his hands and could make things happen. It was more the concept of a man than a man himself, for me back then. This He-Man who was equal parts real and imaginary was there for the longest time. He was a sex god and good friend. Buddy and fuck buddy. Sadly, he was none of those men whom I enjoyed when I was in my teens, mind you. I can barely remember most of them but they fulfilled their role: they were there when I needed them.

But at the end I guess those long forgotten men made me who I am today, more than my fantasy crush. They were mostly runaway lovers, of course. We've all had them. Like it or not, we get our education from our lovers, basically.  And the thing is that we never get our money back if it was bad instruction. But I'd have to say that my fantasy crush of those years may still be here with me. Just waiting for the right words to come back to life. I don't have to say his name out loud because he hasn't got one. Nevertheless, when Ru, in classic Ru fashion said: "do not Google Peter Lupus naked" that's the first thing I did. And I was not disappointed.

Talk about fantasy.

XOXO

  1. Ummm I had no idea Mr. Lupus was packing. He was the strong silent type on the series. Not the star but a supporting player. The tech guy if I remember correctly.

    And you’re right, a lot of our fantasy men are a conglomeration. Part Brad Pitt, part Latin lover, part Spider-man. And that’s a good thing, I think. We can adjust him to our mood. He can be a top or a bottom as we need him. Yeah in this time I think we draw on our imagination quite a bit.

    XOXO 👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨

    1. Yes, the strong silent type is right. And I agree with the fantasy. I know some men prefer something more tangible, but I'm all for the idea of it.

  5. I too had no idea who it was.. But that ain't bad. I did catch the first two shows. NOT surprised Derrick was gone first. This will be harsh but can not stand him. He refuse to believe he's more impersonator then drag queen. But the one that is a complete cunt is Miz. I can now see why queens use to tell me she can be alone. I have heard the worst things about her from the dressing room. I get the feeling she's a big fake, and my senses very few times let me down. I only hope Alexis eats her with jam. I haven't been impressed with the season at all . the All Stars should be top notch queens. This is not giving 100%. And this week...that lip sych!?!?!? Bitch please,I have seen Alyssa perform.....that was her giving 30%. When she dances there isn't a floor left. I call shenanigans . this is totally set up for Shea or jujubee to win.

    1. Oh, not bad at all!
      And Derrick was there to prove something. And to give 'good tv'. Think Gia Gunn. And Derrick should have shown he's grown. He tried to do that with the impersonations, but it did not work. Remember when I told you Miz Cracker was kinda problematic?
      I am disappointed with Mayhem. Expected more. India is ok. She started strong but along with Blair, she does not give me it. Mariah could go either way. I think Alexis, Shea and Juju are top three. I liked the lipsynch. Alyssa can perform but she's a little repetitive. And remember Shea can boots the house down. She was in the top and lost to those butterflies and to Sasha's sense of theatricality...

  7. My first crush when I was a little guy was Tarzan, I always wanted that loin cloth to flip up and dreamed about running around the jungle half naked with him.

  8. Lupus was unbelievably attractive, unfortunate, he couldn't act.

      Well, a man like that does not need to be a great actor. Also see, The Rock and Vin Diesel.

  9. My first celebrity crush was Burt Reynolds in his famous Cosmopolitan centrefold

    https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/news/a48108/burt-reynolds-cosmo-classic/

    I was 18 years old and had just gone away to university and I found the magazine at my landlady’s house. I had grown up with my Dad’s hidden pile of porn magazines and, unlike my Dad, I was starting to realise that I liked the men in those magazines more than the women.

    When I saw Burt Reynolds in Cosmopolitan he was the sexiest thing I had ever seen. I stole the magazine and hid it in my bedroom and spent many enjoyable hours fantasising about what Burt and I would do together.

    1. Yes!
      We're on the same page here. I think I did a post about Burt. It's somewhere in the blog.
      I loved his body and his mustache. And those eyes!

      XOXO
