My Guilty Pleasure...

But I really don't feel any guilt over it....  I have a guilty pleasure.  It's one that I don't tell a lot of people about but I really love it.  Most people, when they hear this think "Ugh...are you kidding me?" But I just can't seem to help myself.  What is it?  Oh God, here it goes....

My guilty pleasure is.... BOY BANDS!  OMG, I absolutely love Boy bands.  You know, like N'Sync, 98 Degrees, Boys to Men, One Direction, Backstreet Boys.  I wasn't really a New Kids on the Block person, but the others... I sing that song "What makes you beautiful" to my niece and she loves it.

What the frak is it about Boy Bands?  I love the way they harmonize. N'Sync does an excellent cover of Christopher Cross' "Sailing"...of course, it's not as good as the original, but I love it all the same.  When I'm driving late at night, I spin the click wheel of my iPod to a Boy Band and start belting out the tunes.

Don't get me wrong,  I love my metal, I love the country songs I like and some hip hop and rap (not crap rap) and I love my old music, i.e. Patsy Cline, Billie Holiday, the Platters..and newer, i.e. Beach Boys (the original Boy Band), Beatles, Stones, ELO, Journey, Van Morrison, etc. But I still have this soft spot for Boy Bands.  I don't fantasize about a Boy Band Sandwich or anything like that...  I think it makes me think of slow dancing (some of it) and I love to slow dance, but never got enough of it (the ex hated to dance).

It makes me sentimental and whimsical. It makes my heart lighter and I feel like all things are possible.  Does that make sense?  It also makes me feel younger for some reason.  It is what it is.

So, yes, this is a short blog, but I made a confession that I may not live down...God help me!  Now I'm off to have dinner with a new friend!  Woohoo!  Have a great night Peeps!
