It might not seem the place since it's a blog about conventions, as well as memorabilia purchases, but I thought doing things like these top 15 (or top 20, 10 or 5 or whatever), would give somebody reading this a little taste of who I am, anyway The Objects Of My Affection is a top 15 of the women I most fancy - The list is in alphabetical order and I do not objectify these women, as truth be told their personalities in interviews or whatever have played a big part.
1. Bayley - if you have read this blog in the past, you know that I am in love with WWE superstar Bayley, it was love at first sight when I first saw her in NXT when I got the WWE Network, I smiled massively when the won the NXT Woman's Championship (I know the results are predetermined but it just filled me with so much joy). Now she is on Raw I still make sure I check out any of her segments.
2. Kristen Bell - love at first sight will come up a bit in this list, unsurprisingly it was as the title character in the wonderful Veronica Mars (which I still count among my favourite show) and have been incredibly happy to see her career blossom since then with some cool movie roles (though I still believe an iconic movie role is in her), a voice role in a massive film for Disney (what's it called again) and much, much TV work, that was not forgetting her wonderful chemistry with Craig Ferguson on The Late,Late Show (which isn't the same for me without him).
3. Alison Brie - I think I fell in love with Alison Brie and Annie Edison at the same time, besides been absolutely gorgeous her personality as shown through for me. Apparently she's in an upcoming show for Netflix about GLOW (the female wrestling company) so I am really intrigued about what's coming up for her plus we still need that Community movie.
4. Kat Dennings - Controversial statement coming... I like 2 Broke Girls...there I said, and I'm really not embarrassed by it, I get there is a lot of stereotypes there but her chemistry with Beth Behrs shines through. I followed her career for years drawing attention in The 40 Year Old Virgin and a guest arc on ER, and I can't help but love The House Bunny too.
5. Karen Gillan - The Doctor has never been short on hot, pretty or cute companions, none got my attention as quick as Amy Pond, making her debut in a sexy outfit she went on to quickly become my favourite companion. Since leaving the TARDIS behind she has moved onto Hollywood and roles in the Guardians Of The Galaxy movies.
6. Rashida Jones - I think I first noticed her in the US Office as Karen who was part of the season 3 cast who obviously introduced as a stumbling block between Jim and Pam, it was a testemant to that show that they still made her a likable enough person, after leaving The Office, she not long after went onto Parks and Recreation (by the same people) and became part of what onto become one of the best TV comedy ensembles of the 21st Century so far.
7. Ellie Kemper - another person introduced to me via The Office replacing Pam as receptionist when she quit to join The Michael Scott Paper Company (Pam came back) in the fifth season, she went onto become one of my favourite characters in the last few seasons of The Office simply because of how adorable she was. She's had a film career including Sex Tape and being underused in Bridesmaids but she landed another great TV gig since The Office with Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
8. Jennifer Lawrence - even if it's all an act her all clumsiness and willingness to tell embarrasing stories but she comes across as so damn likable that it feels like she deserves her place as one of the current Hollywood "It" girls. While I liked each Hunger Games films less and less with each installment her work with David O. Russell (and often by extension Bradley Cooper) as been her strongest work.
9. Ellen Page - okay I'm bringing up her sexuality for two points, firstly she was somebody I've liked years and would have made this list before coming out and secondly, her coming out didn't narrow my chances of me ever getting a chance with her (I'd say the same about any of the women here), I liked her in Juno but honestly it was in SUPER that I adored her (if you have seen that film you would maybe question my taste in women).
10. Aubrey Plaza - she stood out in Funny People and some other roles but I don't think it was until Parks and Recreation as the sardonic April Ludgate that I really, really started to like her. She took a character that on paper as been a common staple of many comedies before and since but she brought enough humanity behind that wall to the role. Have enjoyed her in many movie roles since including Safety Not Guaranteed, The To Do List, Dirty Grandpa (was funny in this even if the rest of the film was uneven) and Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates (the females of that movie was very funny).
11. Natalie Portman - 20 years I have liked Natalie Portman, that instantly makes me sound like a massive pervert and should have the police called on me... but hold up she is a couple of years older then me, so in 1997 I was lusting after an older woman technically, she survived the Star Wars prequels and delivered some great roles in Garden State (the film would be lesser without her), Closer and Black Swan among others. My affection is still going strong even after all these years.
12. Rachel Riley - the only person on the list who doesn't make there living playing a character, Rachel Riley was first introduced to British TV replacing Carol Vorderman on Countdown, incredibly smart as well as pretty she has proved she can laugh at herself filling the same role on 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown.
13. Krysten Ritter - Like Kristen Bell she first drew my attention on Veronica Mars playing Gia Goodman in the second season (and later the movie), it was understandable why she wasn't in the third season but disappointing, she was great in TV roles since including Breaking Bad, Don't Trust The B--- In Apartment 23 and more recently Jessica Jones (which got better and better) and as had a cool movie career alongside it.
14. Amanda Seyfried - it's been clear I love Mean Girls by now and this was when I first saw her as the dumb Karen (who was the first Pop Vinyl I brought from the film), I not long after that movie saw her as Lily Kane in Veronica Mars which was damn awesome start of a career for her, since then she has gone from strength to strength with many starring roles.
15. Emma Stone - Drew immediate attention in Superbad she was quickly on my fancy list which was further added to with The House Bunny (2 representations from that movie on the list) but it wasn't until Easy A that I started to absolutely adored, like many of the woman on the list she is so damn irresistible that I would give any film of hers a chance.
Honourable Mentions - honestly there is too many to list, though Rose McIver, Emilia Clarke, Ariel Winter (she has blossomed into a beautiful young woman), Alison Brie's Community co-star Gillian Jacobs, Mae Whitman (awesome in The DUFF and still pissed they dropped her from Independence Day 2) and Mila Kunis.
