If you're still reading the blog, you know that didn't quite work out for us.
But one of my girls,
1/3 of the NKOTB Super Sleuths (aka D-Dub's Angels)
did get to go on that fabulous cruise!
And since there are lots of rumors goin' round that
there will be an SS NKOTB in 2010,
(please let it be so... please!)
Miss EJ herself
has put together a special
guest blog for us
to give it to us STRAIGHT UP....
So, (drumroll, please)...
Here's EJ!
(Yeah, that's us posing with Danny's Bawls!
Curious?
You'll have to wait for Desiree's blog!)
But first, a little bit about our friend EJ....
"It's ya girl EJ!
I'm sure no one really gives a damn about my background but I will say this....
I'm a straight up city girl who tells it like it is.
I don't candycoat anything for anyone and never will!
I've had the time of my life over the past year since New Kids reunited and I'm looking forward to more memories to keep with me for a lifetime in the near future!
Follow me on Twitter for updates on my summer adventures!!
It's poppin' off! Maybe I'll see some of ya'll at a few shows. ;)"
Tips for the New Kids on the Block Cruise 2010
(pending it actually happens)
1. Check your hater ass at the door!
Easy enough right? WRONG! Females, please, lets get this clear….EVERYONE is on that boat for the same damn reason.No one paid bookoo money to float around in the ocean for a weekend on THAT boat when they could have done it for a fraction of the price sans NKOTB.With that being said, check the hateration at the damn door. ENJOY yourself.Because you know what? Once you dock back in the states it is back to reality….Do you want to remember your weekend giving stank face to every female on the boat or do you want to remember the weekend of a lifetime? Think about it!
2. Dress appropriately
I’m ignorant so I can say this…….if you are shaped like an apple...do not wear a bikini.If you've got cellulite that resembles cottage cheese on every inch or your body……don’t wear lingerie to the pajama party.If you've got rolls poppin’ out of every possible part of your body…….PLEASE do not roll around in a bikini trying to look sexy in the hot tub in front of a New Kid…..if they are like any other male, I doubt they are impressed.You CAN look fly at any size…but dammit have respect for yourself ladies!! Don’t be known as that busted b*tch on the boat!
3. Leave the groupie sh*t at home
This is self explanatory.Stop f*cking and sucking to get to NKOTB. It’s not going to work. The ONLY thing you are going to secure is a nasty ass reputation and a ton of people looking at you sideways for being a triflin’ ass female and putting yourself on blast the entire weekend! Keep your ass under control and if you ARE a freak…..keep it behind closed doors. The general public appreciates it!
4. Have common sense
If you run into one of the guys and they are with their family or if they just look like they don’t want to be bothered, or even better…..if they TELL you they don’t want to be bothered…….then dammit, LEAVE THEM ALONE.It’s not rocket science ladies! What more do you need them to do? Body slam your ass into the pool? Throw your camera overboard?Let’s be serious here.Don’t initiate yourself into the psycho fan group because you can’t take no for an answer.
5. Drunk Sailing
This is the ONLY thing I will admit to being guilty of. I was getting it IN on that boat from the moment I got in my bunk.I was drinking all day, all night, & not sleeping. And you know what? By Monday morning I was a damn zombie.All zoned the hell out, didn’t know what the hell was going on. I was so tired I damn near started to cry for no reason. I was a hot mess, and on top of that………sea sick.So yes, this is a vacation, you should enjoy yourself…….but damn… the aftermath is NO JOKE. It took me a week to get myself back together!
6. ENJOY YOURSELF
YES, the caps are necessary!Because you know what? When you get 2000 females on a boat and 5 guys that everyone is trying to get near/with/whatever…….you get an overabundance of f*ckery.Drama, drama, drama.Ladies, who cares?First and foremost, EVERYONE got a meet & greet. So regardless of if you got into VIP that weekend, you got to meet them.You got a concert. You got events to watch them. (Some of you even had a chance to participate.) What more do you want? This is a vacation!Enjoy it! People do go on cruises every other year nowadays. This is something you worked hard and saved up for. Don’t flush it down the drain because you wanted to walk around mean mugging and giving people your best stank face all weekend. ENJOY YOURSELF!
So....
Have fun this summer!
Keep your mean muggin’ to a minimum,
enjoy the concerts,
and above all ENJOY life!
The last year has been absolutely bananas but like all good things, its going to come to an end at some point. Enjoy it while its here, everyone!
Cherish it! THESE are the memories that will stay with you forever!

Stay tuned...
for more adventures, stories, and anecdotes from the
NKOTB Super Sleuths,
including an intro and recap of the ATL experience from our other girl,
I’ve let Christy do most of the work and most of the talking to express our love for NKOTB, but it is time I stepped in and helped do the talking.
I am all about positivity, so I am sorry to start out being less than cheery, but something has made my mind not right…
WHY ARE SOME PEOPLE SURPRISED THAT WE LOVE NKOTB?
FURTHERMORE, WHY DO PEOPLE CARE THAT WE LOVE NKOTB?
Let me start with an example. Over the weekend I went to dinner with a group of people. Some of them are friends of mine and others I met for the first time. One of my friends asked if Christy and I won the tickets to the Today Show and a conversation ensued. Someone (who I had obviously just met or she wouldn’t have responded as she did) asked what we were talking about and my friend filled her in. When he told her I loved NKOTB, she started LAUGHING.
In her defense, she changed her tune when she found out I really do love them (she didn’t even know they were back together), but I still wonder why people are so surprised.
How about another example? A few months ago, I had a status update on Facebook that led someone I know to tell me how stupid it is that I love NKOTB, and he went as far as to tell me that my husband thought it was dumb (which isn’t true because my husband has been very supportive). But once again, I am compelled to ask: why the hell does this person care?!?! I don’t feel the need to point out the sports teams or bands that he likes that obviously suck. It’s his decision, and I respect that.
So, if you’ve had this experience of someone giving you a hard time about your love for NKOTB, the next time it happens remind the rude person of the ways you’ve been considerate of his/her personal choices:
·you don’t comment on his/her bad fashion decisions (tops 3 sizes too small, tennis shoes with business attire, knee length denim shorts, or any other heinous fashion crime)
·you kept quiet when he/she went to see Bret Michaels in concert...recently
·you did not (you didn’t, right?) make a twitter post to announce to the world that this person once again got drunk at the last office party and proceeded to show everyone her ill fitting thong
·furthermore, you did not post pictures of this event on Facebook (even though you have them....)
·you have never pointed out that this person consistently picks the loser on American Idol, the Super Bowl, the Biggest Loser, the World Series, or any other such event
·And finally....you can always tell the person you don’t really give a flying f*ck how he/she feels about your musical tastes. This is certainly the least creative option, but it does make the point quite succinctly.
I like to talk, workout, dance, perform, laugh, cry, drink wine, listen to good music, watch good movies, and more. I love NKOTB, all things 1980s, and people that do what they can to make a positive difference. "We must be the change we wish to see in the world." -Gandhi
