Welcome to Teenage Me.

Dear Flist,

Can we talk for a moment about all consuming teenage adoration of bands/singers. I have just re-discovered this in the drawer under my bed (under a special Doctor Who edition of Radio Times from 2005 and a much older book about Prince William with over '100 Full Colour Photos').



This, people, is a project book tastefully decorated by myself and LAMINATED (oh yes, don't think I didn't buy special laminating sheets from W.H.Smiths because I did) and filled with interviews and posters about the band 'Hanson' from such long defunct magazines as Smash Hits, TV Hits, Bliss and Top of the Pops Magazine. When the clippings were too small, I have artfully cut them out and glued them to some top quality white cardboard and put it in there anyway. I did this with posters and clippings of Leonardo DiCaprio too, except I displayed those over the entirety of the left hand side of my bedroom, even the little teeny clips.

Who were you really into in your teenage years?? I would be intrigued to know if anyone else kept a laminated project book :D

ps. Was Hanson's song 'I Will Come To You' about Jesus? Because I'm listening to it now and wondering O_O

pps. Have some Mmmbop on your Friday night.

I was into the Backstreet Boys when I was a teenager. I still like their music. I liked distinguishing their voices so I knew who was singing what line. I was pretty good at spotting that...probably not so much now. It was great to go to one of their concerts some years ago. I have their CDs and other merchandise including a big photo book that's a bit problematic to store. :p

My friend was OBSESSED with the Backstreet Boys! Actually, I think we had a bit of a rivalry going over who was best - BSB or Hanson (I always said Hanson of course!).

My friend and I both shared the BSB obsession. ;) Those were the days. There was a rivalry between BSB and 'N Sync fans since BSB and 'N Sync were the big boybands. Hanson didn't seem as popular here or I just wasn't that interested in them compared to BSB. But I can see the appeal of Hanson.

I remember 'N Sync being called 'N Stink or 'N Suck by BSB fans...oh boy. Such competition. :p
