NKOTB Baby!

New Kids on The Block

I have been meaning to write about this for awhile now,

but who (besides my own lil' self) is soooooo excited

that the New Kids on the Block are making a comeback?

(Insert girly-12-year-old scream here)

I LOVED growing up in the 80's!

Unfortunately, I was born too late to fully capitalize

on all of the amazing high waisted-acid wash-torn up-denim jeans

and other delicious plastic, florescent, and/or lacey fashions

that my small town's high schoolers enjoyed so thoroughly,

but I must say I DID love the music!

Other generations before us had The Beatles and The Osmonds...

and we ended up with NKOTB... but it was wonderful while it lasted!

I remember saving up my allowance so that I could

buy any and all NKOTB merchandise at my school's book fair.

I had posters, and stickers, and "tell all" books about their favorite foods, colors,

and what "their idea of a perfect date would be,"

and saving my allowance wasn't easy -mind you-

since Swedish Fish and other delectable penny candies

were practically screaming my name from the local drugstore

each Saturday when those 2 whole allowance dollars hit my pocket!

I remember sleepovers with friends who had the latest and greatest

"New Kids" pillowcases and pajamas...

Loved it! So I just wanted to say YAY and I want to hear your super sweet

80's memories if you feel up to sharing them - write them in the comment

section of this entry!

Tell me about your favorite clothes,

accessories, boy bands... what have you ; )
