I don't know how I ended up seeing this post from Tiffani Thiessen nearly a month late, but I don't mind that I do. Why? It's simple. She's my first crush, she's your first crush, she's arguably the most influential person to ever be on TV. You say the words Kelly Kapowski in the year 2025 and every single person can close their eyes and know exactly who and what we're talking about. Throw in 90210 for those of us that grew up with Tiffani Thiessen and the legend grows even more. Hell, she was great in Son-In-Law too, so she can really do it all.

But this? This is how you do flashback Friday's or throwback Thursday's or whatever the hell is going in with the Internet. She's 51 years old and still that important to all of our lives. It was an important time growing up when you saw Kelly Kapowski and just felt ... different. She was the first for a lot of us to feel that way. If you have holding power this long after your star days were over, you cement yourself as a legend of the game. You have everyone from every walk of life know your real name and your character's name, you cement yourself as a legend of the game. She's done all of that and now just had to throw it back to remind us that she was our first crush and still can pull it off at 51.

We live in a world where TikTok and Instagram girls try to catch everyone's attention. Not me. I remember the days where it was old school Mariah Carey, Kelly Kapowski, Topanga and Aunt Becky from Full House leading the charge for us boys turned men. That's why I was stopped in my tracks seeing this post from Tiffani Thiessen. Perfect trip down memory lane from a legend, an icon and the most influential person to ever hit my TV screen.
