You’re my obsession…

I used to love Duran Duran. I use to LOVE Duran Duran. I discovered them one afternoon while watching MTV. Remember MTV? The old school MTV that played video after video. MTV with Martha, JJ, Adam, Mark and Nina. I saw “Hungry Like the Wolf” and I was hooked.

I was probably just a little too obsessed with these boys from England. I had a friend that was just as obsessed. She liked Nick, I liked John. We bought magazines, taped everything they ever appeared on and watched it back…in slow motion. We were freaks! When they would come out with a new album or video we would pick each and every word and picture apart. We analyzed and discussed, and were sure that we, out of all their fans, understood what they really meant!

I wore the white shoes they wore, I wore hats like they did, I wore black rubber bracelets. I dyed my hair maroon once, like John had his. I saw D2 3 times over the next few years. I even met them in Atlanta. You would have never known I even knew who they were. I just kinda stood there and smiled. Inside I was screaming, “Pick me! Love me! Marry me!” 🙂

It’s kinda fun to have a star crush. Which is why I completely understand when Kei is insistent that she is going to marry Johnny Depp. I know that one day, she, like me, will look back on this time and remember the excitement of a new movie, a new song, a new interview, a new picture.
