I’ve been in love this this man since I was a wee freshman in high school. At Flipside festival 2006, I stood in line like a little girly fan girl to get the band to sign my poster. When Emily and I got to the front of the line, he took my hand and made two eyes (like a hand puppet) on both my fist and his. Then he made his hand puppet give my hand puppet a big ol’ smooch.
SWOON

After that, Emily and I continued to run into Shawn at other shows in weird situations. Eventually being able to talk to him, while still always being a little in love.

Most recent Shawn sighting? realizing he was standing directly behind me at Justin Pierre’s Boston stop on the dino trail. A very short exchange of words before Shawn performed brought me back to the olden days of my young love.

alright, alright….I’m admitting this publicly: (the worst kept, non-secret) Shawn Harris, is my one and only musician crush.

Why He’s Hot:

1. Ladies and Gents, say hello to Shawn Harris, who, up until recently was the lead singer and guitarist of The Matches (and we all know how we feel about those lead singers). But with their indefinite hiatus, Shawn has moved on to a new singing venture called Maniac, who, while working on their first album, has been covering Number 1 Billboard hits. Try not to swoon and melt too much while he’s singing Taylor Swift’s “You Belong with Me”, m’kay?
2. Style? The man is the dictionary definition of dapper. Voted the best dressed on Warped Tour ’07, the man can pull off any look you throw at him. Torn up punk? Check. The sophisticated top hat look? You got it. Polka Dots and Stripes? Done and done. Asymmetrical haircuts, short haircuts, fake glasses? He’s done it all. Even as Count Drunkula, the man is hot sex.
3. His eyes. Just take a good, long look into those lovely brown eyes. You can get lost within them. Now, tell me you’re not hooked.
4. Sweet, mischievous and sometimes a little deranged, his smile is a sight to behold. Show me your teeth, babe.
5. His arms are rather fit. Toned with just the right amount of muscle. Who else wants tickets the gun show?
