This is what happens when you are forever 16 years old...

I like many genres of music...rock, oldies, rap, folk... My forever favorite genre of music is pop. Specifically 90's pop/early '00 pop. Even more specifically 90's/early '00 boy band pop.

Yessssss I'm talking about Backstreet Boys, NSync, NKOTB, LFO, 5ive, Soul Decision, 2 Gether...all of the greats.

Backstreet Boys will forever always have a special place in my heart, though. They were my very first boy band love, and I was a loyal fan from the beginning. I've memorized all of the songs and dance moves, I can still break out the "Backstreet's Back" dance at a moment's notice, I even still remember some random facts about the boys (Frick and Frack, anyone?)

I've seen them countless times in concert, even when Kevin left the band for a brief period of time, but now he's back with the band and we are seeing them in concert in June!!!!!

To celebrate this occasion, I knew that we had to go all out. I hate using this phrase, but YOLO. I had the idea that we should make crazy puff paint t-shirts covered in glitter like we used to do when we were in middle school. 4 out of my 5 friends going to the concert were totally into the idea, so I had a shirt making party this past weekend!

First we had to gather our supplies...
