Wanting Ideas For This New Site?!!

As per usual, I'm struggling with what to call this new site and I'm looking for ideas?!! I have three ideas so far...

BOYBAND GALORE

See you soon!

Changes to this fan site!!

Hey peeps!

There will be some changes and they will be MAJOR!! After some serious thought and consideration, I have decided to make this site about ALL boy-bands. My MAIN focus will be on the Backstreet Boys and Blue but I am hoping to enlist some fellow boy-band fans to help me out. Other boy-bands include; Take That, 911 or 5SOS... And so on. I'm also thinking of creating a Twitter account for this site and a Facebook page but this will depend on if YOU want it?!

I am a follower of some AMAZING American boy-band fan sites and I hope you can check them out too!

If I have forgotten to link your site, please forgive me. These are my personal favourites and I hope you will support them like I do. I think it's great when fan sites are supportive of each other's sites and perhaps even help one another from time to time. Go and say hi to these sites ^ tell them I dinkykt sent you! 

Anyway I just wanted to let you know what's happening on here so you are aware. Hope to have your support and maybe your input (but this is purely your choice of course!)

Meeting The Backstreet Boys - 5th April 2014

Hello peeps!! I'm back again! I remember in my last post, I mentioned about writing up about my experience of meeting The Backstreet Boys and then watching their show afterwards, so here it is. I apologise in advance as it will be long but I don't want to miss anything out. 

During the late morning, I prepared myself by getting a professional make-over at Debenhams and getting ready back at the apartment that me and my sister were staying in. For weeks/possibly months beforehand, I was really excited and was on countdown mode. 

We had to be at the arena for 3:30pm and when we got to the arena, the lift was out of order. We started panicking as there was no sign saying where to go etc but thankfully we overheard some people talking, so we finally made our way in in another way, through the station.

After queueing for about an hour and half, we were eventually let into the arena. Me and my sister didn't know what or where we should be so just loitered around waiting (just like everyone else there) and a lady came over to me, she had other people with disabilities so we all grouped together following the lady. 

The arena staff took us so we were at the side of the stage for soundcheck, I thoroughly enjoyed the soundcheck. It was so good to be so close although we weren't as close as everyone as we were in wheelchairs and couldn't get through the chairs. The guys came out, Brian first then AJ and then Nick, Howie and Kevin followed. They did a bit of talking, sang a few songs which my two favourites that they sung at this point was Siberia and Madeleine. Trust Me, and 10,000 Promises was sung. Then they answered a few questions from the audience. I would have loved to have asked a question but I was too shy and my mid went blank (I was too busy being in the moment ha ha!). I got a wave of AJ which made me feel very happy, my sister turned to smile at me excitedly knowing how ecstatic I was with him being my favourite! Inside my head was like a little girl jumping up and down doing cartwheels knowing that he had noticed me but I was sat on my own at this point so I knew it was definitely to me! 

Then we saw the band leaving and we ended up having to chase the staff to find out what was happening as we got left behind. We thought that somehow we had missed our time (to meet them etc) even though we did as we were told. But anyway after waiting about 3 hours +, we finally got to meet them. We were the last few to meet them (which I didn't mind and it ended up meaning we had more time with them, I always panic when I don't have much time so yes it was a relief). 

As I went into the room where the guys were, the support act were in there too. I didn't realise who they were until afterwards though. Shaggs smiled and quietly spoke to me, he seemed really nice and kinda eased any anxieties I had. Yes, anxieties, I was about to meet the world's biggest boyband and it's not everyday you do! :-) 

My eyes were everywhere trying to locate the guys and Kevin and Howie were calling me to come closer towards them, I remember Kevin's eyes being intense but kind though. Then Kevin and Howie came over and both asked me how I was and that it was good to see me. 

AJ was the first to pound on me (hehe!) he gave me a proper big hug and knelt down beside me, then all the other guys came and give me a little hug whilst AJ was still beside me. I then gave him my handmade gift for Ava which he opened and his face lit up. He said Ava will love it, which made my heart swell with pride. My heart was bouncing inside. Then Nick briefly came back over whilst AJ put his gift away safely, I manage to tell him that I'm reading his facing the music book to which he was sweet about. Then AJ came around again then disappeared and the next second we were getting told to get in position for photo. 

Nick was stood by the wall with my sister next to him but I was terrified of running him over in my chair and brian came to kneel to the right side of me so I put my arm around him, out of nowhere AJ appeared by my left side kneeling on my left resting his arm on my arm rest, I focused my attention on him putting my other arm around him, ha I then got worried thinking oh no I hope the guy taking the photo has clicked on me looking at AJ but thankfully I wasn't he he!! Brian was funny, he was impressed with my golf ball gear stick on my chair. Nick was sweet, didn't really get to interact with Howie or Kevin and AJ was just amazing. His accent sounded so wow and sexy!! He smelt divine too. :) it was a shame that I never got chat much to Howie or Kevin and would have liked to have spoken more about the book with Nick. I was very very overwhelmed at how lovely, kind and down to earth all five guys were. AJ is such a gentleman and very gracious. I just love how he took the time with me and especially as he kneeled beside me, being at the same eye level as me. 

I came out of the room not able to stop smiling and I felt all dream like. Even my sister enjoyed meeting them too. Now I had the show to look forward to. 

There wasn't a lot of time so had to rush buying my merchandise (due to the bad organisation of the arena) and find my seat. The support groups were good, especially All Saints. My sister is a big fan of them so she enjoyed them more than I did but they were really good. 

Then finally, it was the guys turn to put on a proper good show and by heck they did that alright!! :-D they were never out of tune, the dancing was fantastic and they entertained so brilliantly! You could tell how much they loved performing and their passion was clear to see. They did a good mixture of their old songs and new ones, from Everybody, The Call and Incomplete to Love Somebody, Show 'Em (What You're Made Of) and In A World Like This. There was an instrument part which made the show even more complete and personal, some fans were lucky enough to be able to sit on the stage with them for a song or two!Imagine how amazing that would feel to be able to see what the guys see? spectacular I bet. I managed to stay on my feet through most of the show although I was sore and worn out at the end but it was worth it. With meeting the guys beforehand, i think I felt more with it than I have at other shows, you feel more of a VIP which I was due to the meet and greet. 

I have never felt so much emotion and happiness as I did, meeting and then watching the Backstreet Boys!! It will be something I will treasure forever, deep in my heart and memories. 

I have just been informed by Rochelle (AJ's beautiful wife) that the headband fits Ava perfect! And that I did a beautiful job, thanking me for it. As AJ did say he would post a pic of her wearing it, I hope that I do get to see Ava wearing it sometime. I already feel proud but the feeling of seeing her wearing it, will be truly the most wonderful and acceptance feeling in the world. 

I can't wait to experience this all again soon. Thank you AJ, Nick, Brian, Kevin and Howie... Until next time. <3 

Nick's Snippet & Ro's Interview on BSB Website

I see today we had a snippet off Nick's new record and it is safe to say that it sounds pretty wicked! To me, it has a slight hippyish sound with a hint of pop to it and I quite like that. My favourite genres of music is pop and rock but also like other styles too.

Ooh I'm so excited for our Boys! 

It's almost Saturday and we all know what is happening for those very lucky fans that will be in AJ's new video. Hope everyone involved has a fantastic time especially AJ. 

On the website, they have posted an interview with AJ's wife, Rochelle and what a beautiful person she is. It made me smile reading what she had said in it and I think AJ is a very lucky guy having such a supportive wife. I have so much respect for her and she has always been so kind, relatable and encouraging towards me even though she has never met me. One day, I do hope to meet her and possibly have my photo taken with her. I admire that she has kept her own identity and followed her heart with things that are important to her as I'm sure it must be very easy to lose yourself in the crazy, fickle world of show business, when you are the wife/husband.. Rochelle has a great sense of fashion, and no matter what she is wearing, she always looks lovely. Perhaps a reason why she does look good as much as she does is because she knows what suits her and that she focuses on the areas that she likes. This is something I have learned from her, instead of looking at what I don't like (i.e., my legs) is to focus on another area that I can draw positive attention to. It made me feel sad at her getting negative comments from people who don't know her. The people who are negative are not in her shoes and obviously not seeing the bigger picture. I hope she can take no notice as I for one, cannot say one bad word about her. I really like all the Boy's wives btw. Hopefully, we will see interviews with Lauren, Leighanne, Kristin and Leigh on the BSB website as well. 

I continue to keep looking out for new updates re; the Boys. This may be just rambling to you but seeing and talking about BSB, it's makes me happy and something good to focus on. Anyway, who doesn't like to talk about our favourite Boys?!! :)

Solo Projects!

This week we have seen lots of intriguing clips and photos from AJ's upcoming video shoot for 'Live Together'. It is a very exciting for both him and us, the fans. I really can't wait to see the end result. I believe that it will be a fun shoot to do and somewhat creative, knowing how creative he is as a person. I can imagine that the fashion in the shoot will be bang on trend and cool. It's great that he's giving some of the fans the opportunity to be in it and they will have lots of great memories from it and I admit that I'm a little envious but very happy for those that can take part. The fact that his beautiful wife is working on the shoot is lovely and she is a great make-up artist. 

As soon as the Live Together Foundation was launched, I was straight in there once I saw how nice the t-shirts are and I knew I wanted to donate to a great cause. The money raised through this will go  towards individuals, families or communties that are in need, no matter what the situation may be. It warms my heart to see AJ setting out to help those in need. 

I will post a photo of me wearing my top when it comes in the post, I'm sure it will be far too big but I will use my creativity and imagination to make it fit me. When you get yours, post a photo of you wearing it and tag me so I can see it. The song that came when you order the t-shirt, 'Gimme That' is awesome and very catchy! I can listen to his voice non-stop and can hear his heart and soul pouring out of it. I'm an eager beaver, looking forward to the new album coming out and really hope that AJ gets to tour all over, especially here in the UK. I adored the 'Have It All' album, it had it all for me... the fun, cheeky and energetic to the soulful, beautiful and honest tracks. 

Not only is AJ busy working on his solo projects but Nick is too. He's been working on his album, I'm gathering it's going to have a pop sound to it and if it's anything like his previous records, then it's gonna sound great! I liked 'Now or Never', really enjoy listening to 'I'm Taking Off' and had a good boogie to 'Nick & Knight' and now I'm ready to hear the new one. 

Tonight, I found out that Brian is also releasing an album sometime this year and it's great news. I think it's been a while since he worked on solo music and it'll be lovely to hear his angelic voice once again. 

I'm not sure about Kevin, if he's working on any solo projects so if you know then please let me know. 

Intro To The Site

So here is my new blog site dedicating my love for the Backstreet Boys!! I recently wrote an online review about the Show Em What You're Made Of documentary movie and realised how much I enjoy writing about AJ, Nick, Kevin, Howie and Brian so therefore decided to post all about them here. I did think about writing things for other BSB fan sites but thought it might be better for me to do my own as I can write/post when I feel up to and not worry about deadlines etc. However I do love seeing these fan sites and they are really good! Be sure to check them out!  

I have just realised that I haven't introduced myself yet - doh!! I'm Katie. Some of you may know me as @DinkyKt on Instagram or Twitter. I live in a little town which is approximately 30 minutes from the Lakes District (which is famous for Beatrix Potter, William Wordsworth and even TV chef, Dave Myers (Hairy Biker). I'll be 30 in May although I don't look it. Now if you don't know, my favourite BSB Boy is AJ McLean but they all have a place in my heart. 

 

This is me, Katie.
