Danielle Fishel: Big Hair is Big Love

Or Topanga Meets Sandwich

Danielle Fishel, best known for playing mega haired Topanga on Boy Meets World, was a great nerd crush. Topanga was smart, quirky (perhaps a bit too granola), and she hung out the venerable dorks like Minkus and Ben Savage. So, we say to ourselves, surely she would want to hang out with Wolf Gnards. If this cute girl likes those geeks, a lesser geek, such as my teenage self, must have looked like I walked right off the cover of Tiger Beat. Every prepubescent little nerd dreams of meeting a nice nerd girl, putting in the work, earning her heart and whatnot, then she accidentally or magical becomes hot, and then she’s stuck with this homely nerd who put in so much effort. Danielle Fishel best believed in predicting her future and experimented several ways for the same. Check this out to know more details about her trials.

Fishel actually dated Ben Savage both on the show and in real life. This wasn’t just following the script. Ben Savage, best known for being a mutant growth of Fred Savage, actually dated Danielle Fishel. He fondled her big hair and other fondlable things. Not only that though, Fishel then turned around and dated Joey Lawrence’s little brother (also on Boy Meets World). Dating Topanga is easy, just trap yourself in a room with her (where you’re one of the few other members of the opposite sex), and constantly explain who your older brother is.

Me: Don’t you know my brother is Ron Gnards.

Topanga: Ron Gnards you say… and I’m trapped in this elevator with you.

Me: Totally.

Topanga: I guess we better make out then.

Me: I guess so.

So, what happened to this hot young star, well she got less hot and less young. But she’s still a fine geek crush. Danielle Fishel hosts The Dish on some lady network, which is kind of like Wolf Gnards for girls.

Topanga’s Weight Gain

Danielle has an inverse hair to body relationship. See as Topanga’s hair on the show decreased, her weight seemed to increase. Perhaps her body compensated for the change in mass. Regardless, Danielle got curvier, and curvy in a very good sort of way. But her hair kept getting straighter and straighter, clearing a pathway for sandwiches.

This doesn’t change a thing.

She’s still cute.
More of her to love.
She’s just becoming more attainable.
Given her shortness and new width, she is roughly the same shape and size as R2-D2 and I love me some R2-D2.

  The most striking thing about Ms. Fishel is her prominent — aggressive, even — bosom. Where the female romantic leads on other teen sitcoms like the Wonder Years and Saved By The Bell were pre-pubescent cute or that asexual acne-medication-commercial attractive, Topanga was a big breasted earth mother of a crush. Dating characters on other sitcoms, in addition to never touching one another other than the occasional audience-woo-inducing-but-still-pretty-chaste smooch, gave the impression of being stored in some sex-free cabinet when not off screen. Topanga, when not cracking wise or acting as the boys’ externalized conscience, was definitely being groped.

  I haven’t seen a comment for the Esquire in quite a while, I’m glad Topanga’s large breasts stirred so much in you.

  Wasn’t Ms. Fishel just on the cover of People or something? She’s been out and about talking about how she loves her curves and is much happier now that she’s not starving herself to stay teen queen thin. But, really, Wolfie? R2D2? No robot has an aggressive bosom like Topanga. Not even Rosie.

  Minkus is where it’s at

  It’s not my place to do it, hampered as I am by my near terminal gravitas, but I’m concerned that there is a Rosie’s robot breasts/motorboat joke opportunity here going unexploited.

  Yeah!!! Danielle Fishel. Still have a crush on her to this very day and will check out The Dish whenever I come across it. Hell, I did a few days ago. I would say I like her more now than I did on Boy Meets World.

  And for those of you who don’t follow, possibly sleeping with a Savage brother is a factor in nerd love:

  I don’t know why this is, but Mr. Feeny, you’re next.

  she was never cute. she still isn’t cute. i submit that she wasn’t even all that nerdy, more of an earth mother, crazy granola chomping flake.
