Izzie at the Beach
Izzie took her first little trip to the beach a couple of weekends ago in Santa Monica. This was her first contact with sand.

The Most Awesome Night EVER!!
OH
MY
GOD.
I have never loved the New Kids more than I do right now!! Went to their concert Friday night at the HP Pavilion, and oh my goodness, I had such an amazing time and so did all of my friends, including a straight male friend who went because his wife made him. AAAHHH!! I don't even know where to begin! Okay, my excitement started to build as I was walking towards the arena along with hundreds of other girls, some sporting their New Kids on the Block t-shirts and buttons. One even wore leggings with black lace trim. Totally early 90's. I've never seen such a huge sea of women. I was telling my friend that this would be a guy's paradise. But then decided that girls would probably think he's either gay or some poor schlep that was forced into going... You could just feel the energy in the air. Smiles and excited chatter everywhere. (I'm listening to New Kids on pandora right now and my heart is racing again!!! Oh my god!!!)
So first to open was Lady Gaga. (When I first saw her name, I thought it said "Lady Caca.") I like her music. Lots of dance stuff. And she has a hot pair of legs. Second opener was Natasha Bedingfield! Her songs have always been hit and miss with me, so I wasn't too excited to see her. I've converted after last night. I love her! My new favorite song is Love Like This. It's so happy! I love it! Her voice is so strong, and I love that she's not cutesy. I hate cutesy girls.
Now for the main headliner - The New Kids on the Block. Wow! Okay, the New Kids have always been my favorite group. I was a huge fan when I was a lot younger, but never had the opportunity to go to a concert. So I was super excited to go to this one. It was surreal to be sitting there in the arena along with more than 15,000 other screaming fans. I couldn't even hear their opening song, Single, because of all the shrieking throughout the stadium. Of course, I contributed. I contributed a lot. As a matter of fact, my voice sounds like I've been screaming non-stop for nearly two hours the previous night. They took us back to our teenage years with the most awesome songs ever like Please Don't Go Girl, I'll be Loving You Forever (my favorite!), Step by Step, Cover Girl, My Favorite Girl, Tonight, and so much more! And they also sang some of their newer songs like their new hit Summertime (which is growing on me), Click Click , etc.
The show was one big highlight for me. One big moment of awesomeness. But if I had to choose a wow moment, it'd be when Jordan wore that shirt... unbuttoned. Hubba hubba hubba. Those wild screams from lustful women... what an earful! I just gotta say... Jordan is one hot fella. And Jonathan is soooo handsome and looks so sweet! And Danny looks great! And Donnie and Joey are awesome too, have aged well, and really took the crowd. Jordan did too. :)
They ended the night wearing Celtics jerseys and singing Hangin' Tough. It was a great and appropriate finale. As the music kept rolling, the five of them ran through the doorway and disappeared... and appeared again as they did a little lap around the stage, clearly having a great time. They ran off the stage again for the last time. I so did not want it to end! I couldn't believe I just saw The New Kids on the Block... in the flesh... What a dream come true!
