jealous much?

I had actually was saving this for my blog but once I talked to Katelin about guest posting, I knew it belonged here! Oh, this is Jamie, by the way. I'm filling in while the regular keeper of this blog is hanging out in Ohio.

When I was little I was a huge New Kids on the Block fan, just like Katelin. I mean, I had posters, bed sheets and even dolls. My prize possessions though were my NKOTB slippers.

Yes, they were sneaker slippers. Big puffy sneaker slippers with neon pink and green all over them. I lived in those things.

Want to see what they look like?

Of course you do!

Let's check out little Jamie with her amazing NKOTB slippers.



Okay, you got me. That's not really me. I never was a little blond girl. I had a little help doctoring* that photo because it was the ONLY photo I could find of those slippers.

They are awesome though, right?!

So I shared my slightly embarrassing, but still AMAZING, memorabilia with the internets. It's your turn.

I know you have some Menudo shirts or Spice Girls dolls hiding in the back of your closet that you are just dying to share.

Spill it!


* this guest post wouldn't have been possible without Christophr's super cool photoshopping skills.
** dude, while tagging this entry I realized Katelin already had a tag called "Jamie is awesome". This further proves that we should be BFFs. But really, I am awesome so go check out my blog.

From one cool blog to the next.

So I've been bad. Slap my wrists and send me to the back of the classroom. I'm awful.

And why am I so horrible you ask?

happy wednesday!

Whoooa!

While Katelin is off for a midweek jaunt to "North Carolina", she asked me to guest post for her today. Me being Jamie from Oh! How Lovely! Of course, I jumped at the chance to guest post when I got her little email because number one, I love Miss Katelin! Number two, I thought I'd tell you the real reason she is gone.

Now as you noticed I put North Carolina in quotes up there, that is because I don't think Katelin is really in North Carolina with this "Jen" character. I'm choosing to believe that with this whole NKOTB reunion going on, she set up a secret rendezvous with Jordan Knight, because we all know how close they are.

As awesome as it is that Katelin gets to mingle with the New Kids, I can't help but be a little jealous that I never met anyone so dreamy. (Mr. Timberlake, call me!) I know Nicole talked of all her celeb encounters when she guest blogged last time Katelin was gone, but I think I got everyone beat with my celebrity meeting. Seriously.

We all know how fabulous and amazing I am, so of course, you would think I regularly rub elbows with the stars. I hate to break to you, but Chicago isn't really crawling with them. Or never when I am around, I guess. Well except that I once lived in the same building as Robocop. I never saw him, but I totally lived in the same place. That is besides the point though!

The only famous person I have ever met is....

drumroll please!

Yeah, that's right. I met Blossom. At Marshall Fields. My mom surprised me by taking me. This was probably the coolest thing even in the history of the world to 4th grade me. I probably even have a signed 8x10 lying around somewhere. I know you are so jealous right now. I would be if I were you.

I bet you are wondering what Blossom is up to now. Well, I'll tell you. Mayim Bialik (she will always be Blossom to me though) recently got her PhD in Neuroscience from UCLA and is happily married with a 3 year old. She is heavily involved with Conservative Judiasm, so says Wickipedia.

And of course, Blossom is still killin' it with her awesome taste in fashion at 32.

Thanks to Katelin for letting me take over her little part of the internet for a day! I really can't believe I just wrote about a mini "Where Are They Now?" about Blossom. Anyway, should you choose to see the other ridiculous things I come up with on a daily basis, I suggest you stop on by!

Again, this is Jamie from Oh! How Lovely!

Over and out.
