There’s a line in LL Cool J’s song “Hey Lover” that goes, “this is more than a crush.”
Well, the women in this post define the word crush. From young Meagan Good to Topanga from Boy Meets World, these women made young boys in the ’90s go wild.
When Denise Huxtable rebelled on The Cosby Show, Lisa Bonet became our imaginary girlfriend. When Clarissa explained it all, we listened. If Kelly Bundy forgot basic math, we did our own calculations.
These women drove us wild, so we decided to take a look back at the ladies who had our hearts since day uno.
Lisa Turtle! Lark Vorhees made our hearts skip a beat whenever she turned down Skreech.
Meagan Good from Eve’s Bayou: she was young just like us and drop dead gorgeous – even with the mean mug.
Melissa Joan Hart from Clarissa Explains It All: every time Clarissa spoke, we stood at attention.
We first discovered Jurnee Smollett in Eve’s Bayou, but then she got older on the new Cosby, and we were in love.
Who loves older women? We loved them so much that when two geeks made their own in Weird Science, we identified. Kelly LeBrock was the it-girl.
She might be crazy now, but back in the day, Amanda Bynes was a joint. Let’s not forget Christy Knowings either.
Sisters are the bomb! So it’s no surprise that Ashley and Hillary Banks would be on our list. Karyn Parsons and Tatyana Ali are 5 star chicks.
They say there is something about Mary, but there was something about Christina Ricci, who did her thing in The Addams Family 20 years ago.
Married With Children‘s Kelly Bundy (aka Christina Applegate) is still high on our list today! Whoa!
From loners to someone else’s BFF. Six was bad on Blossom, but when Jenna von Oÿ went to The Parkers, our love was renewed.
Then there’s Topanga. Last I checked, Danielle Fishel was the definition of the word crush.
Hey dude! Melody and Lucy might not be as well known as Topanga, but Nick’s Early Show had some hotties.
Denise was not only every man’s crush, she was also Lenny Kravitz’s crush. So much so, he put a baby in Lisa Bonet.
Then Denise moved away to college and we discovered a new lady: Whitley from A Different World. Jasmine Guy’s southern twang had us at hello.
