Once upon a time, when I was a teenager, I was ‘crazy’ about certain celebrities. I don’ mean the Celebtiry Worship Syndrome-this is too extreme. Mine was just fantasies about certain celebs. I’d also collect everything I’d find on them; information, lyrics but especially posters and photos from magazines and newspapers. (The internet was too expensive then…hahah!!). Plus, those days, we (since we didn’t even have DSTV at home) were not so exposed to the entertainment world like kids of today are. We only had KBC, Metro FM and KTN later on…no KISS TV or EATV.
Them days (my adolescent and teenage years), I loved 5 Alive like mad-akina Eric Wainaina, Bob Kioko, Victor Seii. I knew almost everything about them. my bestfriend and I collected photos,, music, everything about them.
After this came Aaliyah, wolololo! I knew everything about this one. I dressed like her-even, sang along to all her songs, knew who she was seeing etc.
Next in line was Usher. I actually thought he was the hottest ever! I fantasised about his kissing n makin’ love to me. i sang along to his songs too n’ had plenty of him all over me n my sisters’ bedroom. I even attempted to dance like him.
After this was Kelly Rowland of Destinys’ Child. I wanted her for myself, when everyone else was gagagaga!!! about Beyonce, my choice was Kelly. I loved her personality, her skin colour, her body-she was the real ‘princess’ for me.
Then I got fully into Michael Jackson, this one was too much. I had all his music, lyrics, videos. I even remember dancing to ‘Bad’ as a curtain raiser for a french play at Alliance Francaise in Nairobi.
Over the years, I have obsessed with other celebs not mentioned here (though not to a clinically unfit level).Take Shakira-I still have plenty of sexy photos of her and who could possibly not love her belly-dancing? Plus the fact that (inspite of how blessed she is) there is very little drama about her that gets out to the public (makes her so mystical). I want Shakira. Sexy! Damn!
About two years ago, I started watching The L word, a drama about a bunch of lesbians. I met Bette Porter and Shane and it was so hard to choose my all time favourite.
See, Bette brought out a number of things I totally related to. Here she was, feminine yet very dominant, dresses like a woman, yet she was very much like a man; controlling, hot tempered yet so lovin. Plus sexy, mad, creative…name it! I watched every single episode within a couple of days to understand her character.
Shane, on the other hand, represented a character who I could get attracted to but could never be like. Except for a few instances, eg.at a certain stage when I couldn’t be faithful to one person. And Shane is stil hot, yet boyish. I believe I could fall for her charms! 
- Boyish yet sexy
You won’t even guess who my latest obsession is…. Kaz. The Kenyan Kaz (poet, musician). I had no idea it could ever happen but yea! it did. And I have seen her naked already, and she is probably bisexual. This Kenyan beauty takes a hold of my night dreams and rocks me!
