Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh The Right Stuff...

When I was six years old, I attended my first concert. Yes, I know my concert obsession started early. Let's just say it got off to an interesting start, I went to see the New Kids on the Block at the Marriott Center in Provo, Utah. I like many young girls, LOVED them! I had videos, posters and all the Bop magazine cutouts of the "Kids"! A few months ago, I heard the group formerly known as NKOTB had reunited and was touring! I seriously was excited! Not because I still love them but the idea of seeing them again was too great to pass up. So I got my tickets, convinced my dear friend Ali to join me, drove to Vegas and prepped for the concert of the year?!?!It was quite the interesting crowd, first everyone was female. It seemed as though all the women were thirtysomethings still trying to live out their dream of being a groupie for NKOTB. (And no, Ali and I did NOT want to hook up with Donny nor Joey.)Seriously though, some girls were crying they were so excited. I, however, was laughing uncontrollably. They were horrible, yet extremely entertaining. At one point, Ali turned to me and asked, "Do you think they know they have been castrated? Seriously, they must tell their kids, 'Well Daddy doesn't have balls, but at least we have a LOT of money!'" So true, they did mostly old stuff, same dances, same guys, just 20 years later! I am very glad I went, I was totally entertained! And their new stuff, its DIIIRTY!!! These old men talking about "Dirty Dancing", "Giving you some Grown Man" and "Sexifying My Love", what is wrong with them?!?! All in all, I am calling it a rite of passage therefore a little less shameful! Also to our defense, we didn't stay the whole time. We met up with Kate and Jessica at Blush in the Wynn and got our groove on! It was a blast and apparently, I have a new boyfriend now! (Thanks Jess!)
