*Chocolate and Pixie Dust* - An August 2008 TR- 8/29 pg 6: Sort of an update

[Native NYer]

Me neither....everyone loved "Joey!" I read Bop, but only at my friend, Diane's house. I wasn't allowed to read that "trash!" hee hee

I read that trash, as well as a few other magazines. I've matured to InTouch, OK, and People.

Oh the possibilities are soooo endless -- I love the Donna Summer idea the best though.

I totally remember NKOTB -- Hangin' Tough was my favorite song, and I still get excited when I hear it on the radio. I remember a friend of mine was totally obsessed with them and had their pictures all over her notebooks.

Good times, good times.

I'm getting excited about wearing wig. What would Bret say?

I went to one of the New Kids concerts at the Garden. My parents had to sit through that

 

[TarzansKat]

Thanks.

I never have either. Danny was always the 5th New Kid, the one no one thought was hot.

Did you read Bop magazine too?

Was there a mag called Teen Magazine, or am I making that up? If so, I definitely read that. I didn't subscribe to Bop, but like the pp, I read it surreptitiously at a friend's...on the down low if you will. Shhh...don't tell the folks.

Oh, gosh, thinking of that girlfriend's house and the NKOTB just brings back so many teen angst memories. But in a really good way.

Unfortunately, my OCD wins out EVERY time! One time I was in school, checkin' the DIS....did so much DISin' that I stayed later in school later becuase I felt bad I was "wasting" their time....hee hee

Oh, I am totally waiting for one of my students to bust me -- that's why I will only check in between classes.

There was a Teen Magazine. My parents had no problem with me reading trash In fact, they bought the trash and the concert tickets.

I need to find NKOTB music!!!

When I taught second, I told the computer guy that I was using it for a project I was doing on the song "Imagination" I had the kids write the lyrics into their poetry notebooks, and illustrate it. Hee hee!

Yes, there was, and your secret is safe with me...

Me too! But I haven't been friends with Diane since like 1992, so....that's just amazing to me to bring back those memories!

The New Kids toured with Tiffany. Do you remember her? And Debbie Gibson?

 

[KatGarcia]

PM I have a little NKOTB scoop but I don't really want it to get out all over....

BTW- U down for the meet on the 1st??

 

[BrittBritt]

So what songs will the New Kids perform in their concerts?

The standards?
Hangin' Tough, Step By Step...

Or will they bust out the truly embarrassing stuff?
Dirty Dawg, anyone?

YouTube is the best for watching all of their old videos!

I think they may stick to the standards. But I wonder if they're working with a choreographer so they can recreate those old dance steps.

I need to look up some vids on YouTube tonight.

I miss being 10 and thinking that Jordan was hot and Tiffany was talented. Ahhh memories! Now I think Brad Pitt is hot and I'm singing along to Teddy Pendergrass. When did I become my mother????

He would say, "Only wear a wig if it is of the finest European quality."

I need to buy a bandana from the Bret Michaels Private Couture Collection.

That's okay -- when I listen to Nine Inch Nails and the Beastie Boys, Chelsea lectures me about listening to songs with bad words. When did I give birth to my mother???

I want one of the dress-up ones with the sparkly things on it.

That is hilarious!!!

You should introduce Chelsea to the pop gods that are NKOTB

I want one that will match my Saturday Night Fever white suit.

Oh, I totally should! I will download some onto my iPod this weekend -- we can listen to them in the car on Monday. He he he!

I'm downloading lots of music from my teen years. I wish I were younger!

You'll have to figure out how to frame the NKOTB in terms Chelsea will be able to grasp.
Something like, "Now Chel, these were the Jonas Brother's of mommy's time."
