Best NKOTB Moment: WOW... so many. The "Thank You" experience in Auburn
made me very proud to be a BH. Everytime I see one of their shows I get emotional
with the intro when they pop out of nowhere, even though I know it's coming it gives me chills.
Donnie touching my boobs wasn't a bad thing either...just sayin'!
Favorite Movie: This will prove how big of an idiot I am but anything funny that
can make me laugh (although I am easily amused) Dumb & Dumber, Napoleon Dynamite,
Step Brothers..stupid stuff like that but I love musicals &
SINGING IN THE RAIN is one of my all time faves!
Occupation: Assistant Manager @ www.77central.com
Celebrity Encounters: Alot actually now that I think about it... but no one compares
to meeting NKOTB. Although I will say just because it was my first kiss and the guy
is dead now...Jeff Healey of the Jeff Healey band. He gave me a kiss on my 12th bday in Portland, Or.
I was not star struck at all but it was nice LOL I have been next door neighbors to many of the
Seattle Seahawks, some Mariners & a couple former Seattle Supersonics. I keep in close contact
with one of the Washington Redskins that was a former Hawk. That's my only claim to fame.. hehe
Personal Website: Does FB count? http://www.facebook.com/rsangder?ref=name oh and Dori
would be proud if I put this up.... www.marykay.com/rsangder I have yet to sell any of it but I do. :p
BEST NKOTB STORY:
Again this is hard to narrow this down... The cruise was amazing! I got my photo with Donnie (alone) after the photo he turned around and he put his hand up in the air and i thought he was giving me a high 5 which was weird to me but whatever, it's Donnie, he could fling crap at me & I might smile. Anyway, he didn't give me a high 5 he grabbed my hand and interlocked our fingers and gazed deep into my eyes it was like he wanted me to understand his appreciation, that moment seemed like forever. He carefully lowered my arm, we released our hands in a slow motion type manner as he slowly walked away looking into my eyes the entire time, it sort of seemed dramatic put I enjoyed every moment of it!
That same night my friend & I had Jonathan falling all over on us because he was slightly intoxicated. He didn't throw up so we were perfectly OK with that. Jon Knight he IS a freakin' Pimp ya'll!!! I <3 Jon! Probably one of the most sincere people on the planet. He's not bad to look at either...
The next night on the cruise my friend Shawna & I were able to be in the VIP area again that night and Donnie came over to say Hi. My friend asked him to kiss me when she met him first so when she was done getting her Donnie hug he turned around laid  one on me. It was fast and dammit I wish I could say there was more passion in it but it was pretty damn fast but Shawna wanted to get a photo of it but couldn't get the camera to work fast enough. So, I thought well, maybe I could get one of me kissing him. So I planted one on his cheek..........SHE STILL COULDN'T GET THE FREAKIN' CAMERA TO WORK!! After awkwardly planting my mouth on Donnie's cheek for what seemed like forever (btw he has the softest lips and skin, it's incredible) I realized this was not going to work out so well. So, I turned around and posed for a regular photo which seemed like forever again but I was horrified because people were waiting to meet him also. Jackie (the woman that passed away this last year) was the next one to get her photo with him. She was very gracious as I was stealing a lot of his time. Shawna finally got the camera to work but by then it was the worst photo of both me & Donnie because neither of us were sure when the photo would ever happen. I could careless about the photo of course because I just got kissed by 20 year old crush. There were more cruise stories....can't wait for there to be even more this year!
Last one I'll talk about is my first time meeting them in Tacoma, WA 5* I was nervous as hell. I am somewhat outspoken most of the time but I have found that when it comes to Donnie Wahlberg I am speechless. Everyone (well almost everyone) wanted to do something to get more "FACETIME" so we all wrote last min on our cleavage 'FACETIME?' it was our sad attempt since the ping pong idea was gone and we had no Waffle Houses. We did not get MORE facetime that night (they left that night to fly back to Cali for the AMA 's ) but when we went in I don't even remember what order I met them & I know that 2 of the other guys took a "peek" opening up my dress to see what it said also but I couldn't tell you who. All I know is I got to Donnie and I hugged him, then he steps back and looks down at my cleavage and says , "hey...what do we have here? " (as he is sliding his fingers up and down the cleavage line of my dress, then opens it up further to get a better look) He reads it in an undertone, "Facetime" & he does his smirk. I can't talk! DONNIE WAHLBERG JUST TOUCHED MY BOOBS!! He grabs my ha nd and holds it (again he has the softest skin!!), he gives it a little squeez. It did feel like he didn't want me to leave but as the next girl comes up to him and asked him for a hug (as much as I don't want to let go) I do because I want to meet the other boys. I did manage to meet them all and like I said 2 more of them read my boobs but nothing like what Donnie did. Then they say it's photo time, Donnie grabs me and puts his arm around me. I was trembling inside. I hope he didn't feel me shaking. To help me ease up ALITTLE bit I start laughing because first Joey who was right below me says, "say SWEATY BALLS!" I do this stupid courtesy laugh because I was so tense having Donnie's arm around me. Then Jordan says, "say BLOW JOB!" for the second photo. Again I get the retarded laugh. I smile at Donnie and they were quickly trying to get us out of there then suddenly Joey grabs me and gives me a hug. I had one from him already but OK, I don't have a problem getting another one from him! I waited for that moment for many many years and it went by so fast and it was nothing like what I thought it would be but it was MY NKOTB MOMENT. It was amazing. And even as short and as stupid the photo came out and as much as it cost and how cold it was standing out there that day... I wouldn't change that moment for the world!
OHhhhhh and most importantly.... totally AMAZING the huge bond and wonderful friends I have made and continue to make because of this reunion! THANK YOU DONNIE, DANNY, JOEY, JONATHAN & JORDAN!!!!
