Alright, alright, I admit it ok? I was a New Kids on the Block fan. Yup. Boy band fever threw up all over my walls (and closet) with pictures of Joe, Donnie, Danny, Jon and Jordan. And for the record, that is the order that I liked them in. And no, Danny did NOT look like a monkey and Joey Joe was the cutest thing ever (or so I thought.) And Jordan always drove me a little crazy. Bop magazines were strewn all over, not to mention folders, t-shirts, pins, TAPES (but no CDs-my infatuation ended a little sooner than other's I know) and I am sad to say hand drawn pictures of cutie patootie Joe and attempts of their autographs. Yes, I practiced writing Northsideposse all scrunched together just like...oh I can't remeber who, but yes, I really did that.
I never went as far as the sheets, or the POOFIEST JACKET IN THE WORLD, but you could say that I was a fan. So perhaps I am a little excited about the concert tonight. Yes I understand that these guys are teetering on 40 and are still attempting to sing about picking up girls in the mall during the summer instead of singing about what they are really doing, picking up diapers at Walmart. Sadly I don't have a picture to share of myself from this time period as all my pictures are packed away, but oh wait, maybe I do??
Me back in 1989. I was quite fashion forward with my haricut don't you think? Oh and here is Cassie! And oh my is she wearing the POOFIEST JACKET IN THE WORLD?
I'm really not fooling anyone that these were taken in 1989 am I...
