My first big boy band crush, like most girls my age, was New Kids on the Block. To this day, there has not been another singer or group that I ever loved as much as I loved (OK, worshiped) NKOTB. I owned everything and anything they made and distributed as merchandise. Bed set (pillowcases, sheets, comforter), trading cards, dolls - both plastic and fabric, clothing, posters, cassettes, VHS tapes, books, magazines, jewelry, buttons... oh, the amount of money my parents must have spent!

My favorite NKOTB was Joey and I never wavered from my devotion to him throughout my adoration of the group. My best friend at the time was a huge Danny fan so luckily we didn't feel like we were in competition with each other.

I outgrew my NKOTB phase but did get a little happy when I heard they had reunited in 2008 and saw a few of my friends were going to their concerts. For me, it just wouldn't be the same. There was something about being a young girl swooning for a group of teenage boy singers that I just don't think could be recaptured.
Keep hangin' tough!
