The Truth Is Out

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG.

Was that a good or bad OMG-Train, Belinda?

Damn it, Lotus. Must you make me say this?!

I had a Nelson poster on my wall.

ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?!

Whoa. This is cool. Thanks for posting the pics.

I totally should have married Donnie at the end of that summer. I just thought it was going nowhere and he’d be a washed-up bum. But he kind of looks alright.

Donnie, my love, I’m sorry. But I know you’re still loving me and that makes it better.

Hehehe! I loved NKOTB…I went to their concert when I was 11. LOL!

My WW is up too!

OMG, I loved NKOTB!!! And they’re still hotties even today Great post! Happy WW

I have a good OMG, but I have to say – my little sis was the ultimate fan and I was the rolling-eyes big sis (who then developed a healthy he-is-my-next-husband crush on the younger Wahlberg brother).

But SO nicely done, this photo glory. Jonathan was my fave. *sigh*

MG! those were the days *lol* Great post!

Joey has definitely improved with age.

OH MY … Its like still loving donnie osmond for my mom!!! Awe the love of the boy bands

Ah yeah, can I say that I don’t get it? Kthxbai

Happy WW and have a nice day. Many greetings from Germany.

Gunner is hotter, you’re right!

I wasn’t a really big fan of either group but of the NKOTB boys, Joey was my fav. Now, Donnie is definitely the hottie, I think.

Fun post! Happy WW!

WOW! They all aged so well. I venture to say I think they are hotter now than back then. Loved Nelson. NKOTB, not so much! I was into Madonna, 100% back in the day.

However, as an adult I loved ‘nsync and backstreet boys. I think my boy band phase finally caught up with me.

Jordan’s more recent picture looks like a gay Chuck Norris.

Hell, even I liked NKOTB… when I was in the 3rd grade. I had their lunch box.

I missed the whole NKOTB thing – I was a Duran Duran girl (in the heydey of the early eighties). Yeah, now you know that I’m old.

However, must agree that Gunnar is hotter. My son’s name is Gunnar so I have to vote that way.

I don’t remember much about Nelson except a song or two but yes I liked them and yes they are hotter today than they were back then.

I am proud to say I loved NKOTB. I’ll even step it up and admit to loving Michael Jackson for a year or so when I was about 8. Then I discovered Duran Duran, then Wham! and it was all over for MJ. I think that’s what turned him weird.

The Nelson brothers, definitely hot. Have a great WW.

I was a huge NKOTB fan…it was my first concert actually! I was completely smitten by Jordan!

Nelson not so much but they do look better now…

This post was a great flashback!

LOL I have to say I had a crush on Donnie… who wouldn’t even now?!?! This post rocks!!!

I knew I was too old for blogging. Your photos confirm it.

I crushed on Jordan in 1988….*sigh*…

then it was on to Stephen Morrissey..OMG! he was hot!

I was never into Nelson…but I will agree that Gunner is hotter!

Eh, I’m not into Danny or Jordan but the rest are pretty damn hot/cute.

P.S. I loved Nelson. Gawd they look like their daddy–and I watched me some Ozzie and Harriet reruns on Disney Channel all the time.

I gotsta go with Jonathon. Oh, god. I can’t beleive I said that.
Ick. But hot. But ick.

-HH

OMG too! I lived in a tiny teeny city in South East Asia, but when I was little, I LOVED them!

Mum would bring home magazines with their photos for me when she goes out of the country (fyi, no internet nothing, infotainment only came in weekly gossip magazines) and we couldnt get them in the city.

Thanks for bringing back the giddy memory!

You totally caught me. Of course looking at the pics of some of thoe NKOTB from back then – what was I thinking?

you fuck!n’ rule

NKOTB, no. Nelson, yes. Good Lord, yes. I was totally in love with both of them. Wanted to be the meat in a Nelson sandwich. (With clothes on, of course. I was only 12 after all.)

They look good now, too. But I wouldn’t do ‘em. That ship has sailed.

Oh not so much… I must be getting old. And I DID grow up with those! :O

I had a Jordan Knight poster hanging over my bed…*sigh*

ewwwwwwwwww man!!! sorry, but those boys were soooooooooooo wack!! boo on new kids on the block. and their hair! hahaha… (but that jordan was kinda cute back in the day…)

Wow! At least a couple of them stayed hot. That makes it feel less embarrassing that I obsessed over them in the first place.

Johnathan and Jordan are still HOT! I am so glad I didnt name my first child after one of them, cause dude that was so the original plan.

I … ahem … was a little obsessed with Nelson in college. I played “After the Rain” over and over and over … to the point that my roommate threatened to move out.

OMG! NKOTB Rulz! (written all over my folders).. I heart Jordan Knight! I wanted him to father my children….

Well, this post made a very unattractive noise come out of my nose. Was that a snort??? Oh my… I did like me some Nelson. I think I had serious hair envy. My dad thought they were chicks and said something about them being “hot”. I remember being very uncomfortable (I never did correct him).

OMG look at Jordan! He is STILL so hot, but I wish he still had the braid. I loved the braid. And it’s too bad the JK carving in my arm faded.

Wow.

Who knew?

Awesome post! And I just read the POO post on Velveteen. Freaking hilarious! I can really appreciate it because I have a 12 month old. Happy WW – even though I haven’t yet posted anything for WW.

Ps.. I had to add you to my blogroll. I don’t want to miss out on any other great posts!

So Donnie has always been my favorite NKOTB, and boy he’s just gettin’ cuter with age **sigh**
BTW: Which one was Gunnar???

Holy cow Lotus! This is such proof that men better with age. I may have to break out my old walk man and my cassette of NKOTB (back when they actually wrote out their entire name). *sigh*

I came across your blog the other day and I almost wet my pants reading your posts. Oh, I also loved NKOTB; Jordan was my favorite back in the day.

Donnie? Really? I think he hit the wall about five years ago. He’s lookin’ rough. Jordan and Joey, however, have only improved with age.

You’ve Got the Right Stuff … on your blog … on WW.

Still lurve Jonathon.

I’ll be stopping by again — great blog

You guys are hilarious! I love ya’ll, seriously.

Angie – Gunnar is THE HOTTER ONE.
Teehee. He’s the one that is most often in the background.

hahah. one of my best girlfriends was THE BIGGEST KNOTB fan. she though he would really marry joey. i had a rather large crush on marky mark and the funky bunch. mmmm… mark walhberg! but my, those KNOTB boys have grown up nice!

I’m just a bit too old to be a NKOTB fan – my sister was, though, for which I mocked her relentlessly.

OMG, now I feel REALLY OLD!!!
Happy WW!

Ha! I remember how my friends were freaking out about these guys and I was totally unfazed by famous people then until I saw an episode of MacGuyver and totally lost it and bought a swiss army knife.

I desperately wanted to be Jordan. He wore a black hat in one of their videos and I bought one just like it. Even considered getting a tail hair extension but never got it… I’m only 20% kidding here. NKOTB in the 80′s and now it’s just OTB for me. and I still don’t get any tail.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG *faints*

Yeah…they are ALL hot!!! NKOTB was my DREAM!!!

And Danny got HOT when he started working out, didn’t he?!?!?! *lol* Sheesh. *drools*

I am an unrepentant Matthew Nelson fan. And I was a Jon fan, now I’m a Donnie, but that’s just ‘cuz of his acting skillz.

So funny, I actually have a post for later this week that mentions NKOTB. Now I will have to link to your New Kids goodness. : )

seriously….that is crazy. yes, all of it.

WOw, they all grew up quite nicely. Wasn’t a huge screaming fan despite the fact I gew up during the height of NKOTB mania. I can hold my head high knowing that I owned no posters, magazines, dolls or other crap of that nature depicting them.

I did however have a Kirk Cameron poster on my ceiling, possible above my bed. Possibly next to one of the Karate Kid.

Haha! I’m too old for NKOTB — I was Leif Garrett girl — but I always thought Nelson was hot. Although “hot’ is a relatively new word – we said so and so is “a fox” or “a stud.”

Confession: I went to a Nelson concert when I was too young to know better. I wasn’t really a fan but because of family in the music industry my cousins had gotten free tickets and asked me along as a last minute thing. It wasn’t horrible, but by that time I was well on my way into the Depeche Mode/Smiths portion of my teens, so I never told any of my friends about it. Nor did I show them that I had my arm autographed by the lead singer of their opening band Enuff Z’nuff. At least it wasn’t my breasts.
