1492 Columbus is bullshit so let’s celebrate this guy instead.

It’s time we talk about 1987, Adventures in Babysitting Vincent D’Onofrio.

I’m a lesbian. I was born in 1983. I did not see Adventures in Babysitting till about 91. By then I’d already discovered my sexuality via Mallory in Family Ties, Lisa Bonet in the ____ Show and of course Carla Gugino as the troubled but beautiful Chica Barnfell in Troop Beverly Hills.

I love a girl in uniform.

The lip bite before Kstew was a twinkle in her mother’s eye.

Split bangs = basically double the bangs. 

** honorable mention to Gabrielle Anwar for single handedly changing dyke fashion with this beanie/beret sitch**

These are not complicated matters. 

The early 90′s really kicked off what would become the genesis of a decades long Elisabeth Shue phase. She had already dazzled me in Karate Kid and for whatever reason my parents allowed me to watch Soapdish on repeat. So no one should’ve been surprised when I cleared my Sunday night plans to watch the ABC (super edited) family movie showing of Adventures in Babysitting. Whatever straight was left in me was gone by the end of the first scene. One of the most glorious in cinema history.

The feathered hair, the t-shirt dress, the 32 year-old jawline on a 16 year old. She was perfection. I was entranced. 

Scene after scene I fell deeper and deeper into a dark gay hole of feelings. 

Every time Elisabeth’s hair grew in circumference, so did the lady wood inside my gay heart. 

Everything was going according to god’s glorious plan until this happened...

Um. What. the. fuck. Where did he come from?? Is that the guy from Mystic PIzza? What is happening? Oh no...

I began to gay panic and gay grasp at all the montages of lovely ladies I had stored in my gay brain. They were whizzing past me, too quick to for my weak jello lady arms. If only I had Thor’s arms..wait no..what? No I don’t want that. I want sinewy Blair from Facts of Life arms. Blair wait... WAIT..

She slipped seamlessly into the void. Along with all the others. All the feathered hair, the bangs, the shoulder pads. All gone. Now all I could see was oily, milky white 80′s muscles (good enough), corn silk soft blonde wig hair that if we just put a hat on it we won’t have to worry if it looks real or not. Tight jeans and man bulge and WHAT WAS HAPPENING.

My body was changing. My heart confused. A young gay girl in crisis. I studied the image as much as I could without the ability to pause. Thank god we were taping it on the VCR. I could come back later I decided. I would have to. Wouldn’t I? WHO AM I NOW?

The chest hair. I didn’t want to touch it but I didn’t not want to touch it? The way he was an asshole about the $5. Was that a lot in 1987 or was he just a sexy asshole? How he gave into Sara so easily, so quickly. I actually almost hated him for it. How he’d allowed the child’s tears to dash out his brawny, sweaty man hatred. Why had he softened for her?? Or was it his true strength coming through. In the end, wasn’t it a better show of power and dominance to allow his city hardened but oily sick arms to reach out and show his vulnerability? Is he tall or does he just seem tall? He’s tall. 

A million tiny little thoughts running through my brain. Can’t pause the thoughts the goddamn technology hasn’t been invented!! Where do I go from here? Do I have a boyfriend now? AM I PREGNANT????

Luckily, this is the only appearance of sexy as fuck, slick armed, bulging Vincent D’Onofrio. I would get a solid 45 minute break from hormones starting with that horrific blues club scene where Elisabeth Shue proves no she cannot sing and kids are annoying as fuck.

But every so often I’d catch a glimpse of him. He was haunting me like a sexy bisexual ghost. I couldn’t escape the chest hair. The tank top. The pants hiked so high I could see his religion. I felt like a Civil War wife longing for the day my sweet Dawson would return. Would life ever be the same? Would I ever be the same? Could I? SHOULD I?

I was snapped out of my bi-sexual crisis by Elisabeth wielding a switch blade and commanding a train car full of West Side Story Reprise Rejects to never fuck with the babysitter. 

Whew. That was close. 

Years later, when I was in Jr. High, he’d cross my mind from time to time. I’d just smile and tilt my head towards the heavens, close my eyes and absorb the fleeting rays of light coming from his greasy biceps. Then when I opened them again, he was gone.  A shooting man star in my lesbian sky. I knew that while I appreciated him, I would never love him, not truly. And I would never know such confusion again....UNTIL...
