I think this picture is hilarious. This was my 12th birthday party (1989), notice the German Chocolate cake (somethings never change). I love our hair-the bangs totally rock! You can't see my shorts, but they make me laugh-I LOVED them! They are black biker shorts (yes, biker shorts!), with black and white checks down the side-and yes, I wore them out in public as regular shorts. I remember wearing them roller skating at the roller rink. So anyways, the reason I picked this picture was because of what I got to do on that birthday. I went to my first concert-NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK! Jill, Julie and I went to the concert at the Marriott Center, their parents drove us up in their van (the really cool one with the mauve interior). That was one of the greatest nights of my life!So yesterday I was getting ready for work, I had the TV on VH1 and I heard this song that I kind of liked so I went to see who it was, believe it or not, it was the New Kids singing their new song Summertime! Then I found out that they are coming to the E Center November 15 (Jill, do you think you will be up for it-you can bring your baby if you need!) It just brought back so many fun memories from growing up, plus they aren't too bad looking still (maybe a little older, but aren't we all).
So if anybody wants to go to the concert with me, I would totally go, I'll even try to do my hair in a pony tail and rat my bangs really high if I need to.

My sister told me about the 'come back' of 'NKOTB' as we used to call them. I about died laughing. Brings back floods of memories of all the dances her and I used to make up to their songs. I really did want to marry Jordan. Too bad he's cut off his little tail braid thingy he used to have. Too funny!!!!
I love it! I love your biker shorts! Don't act like you don't have them anymore! I bet Dee would say you wear them around the house! HOT!
I loved NKOTB too. They were on the Today show a couple of weeks ago. I texted Ryan saying the NKOTB are on the Today show it took him like 20 minutes to figure out NKOTB. La La La La La La Tonight! was one of my favorite songs.
Just last week Ryan and I were talking about biker shorts too. We were driving past an actual biker, and I asked Ry if he use to wear biker shorts. He said yes but he wore shorts over the top but made sure they hung out the bottom. Yuck! I had black with yellow down the side and I bought mine at S&S. Man we were awesome.
oh man, i am totally laughing! I wonder if I still have my flourescent green biker shorts somewhere. That's awsome Mel bought hers at S&S. I bought mine at Enjoy Wear!! haha!! ps...nice bangs!
Oh My!! That HAIR!! I still remember that day like it was yesterday! You're mom was the coolest! I remember on our way to the concert we held up a sign that said, "Honk if you love New Kids!" What a blast...oh to be young again. I don't know about the concert...I will have to wait and see. I can't believe they are coming back!
PS I remember your biker shorts!
PS...check out my sister Emily's blog! Jordan looks so old!!!
I, too, was a New Kids fan--I think it was Joey I was in love with! :) And I had the lovely bangs as well...so fun to take the trip down memory lane!
You may have been at the concert, but did you have a brother who worked for the BYU grounds crew, and helped set up and take down the stage, and while taking down the stage stole a piece of their stage set for you??? Oh snap! Take That!(And yes, that is a true story. Thanks Mike.) I treasured that piece of their stage like it was made of gold....hmmmm....makes me wonder if I still have it somewhere. Maybe I could make some money off EBAY.
Oh yeah, love your hair and bicycle shorts....those are two fashions I hope DO NOT come back in style!
Holy smack. That picture is classic. I'm pretty sure I have one just like it. Wasn't spandex the best. My friends and I went to the concert, too. We had front row seats. Let's just say I was in heaven for an hour and a half. Good times. We should rent a party bus and all of us old fogies should go together!
