NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK IN THE NUDE – KINDA/SORTA

This is what happens when the boys in a boy band stop being “boys.” They grow a mustache?
Not sure what this photo is about, but I guess the NKOTB are reunited in the heels of a recently announced Backstreet Boy reunion. I totally stole this image from Instinctmagazine.com and I am totally confused by it. I want to say that it is reminiscent of 70’s gay porn, but that would speak poorly of vintage gay sex cinema–unless we’re speaking of bad French 70’s skin flicks. I find this photo disappointing. If you’re gonna go for sexy and play on a little gay for some pay, at least drop those towels a little lower around those hips. I’m getting a very Russian bathhouse feeling here. And I don’t mean that in a good way.
And what’s up with Johnathan Knight not losing his shirt? Why does he insist on always sticking out like a busted limb? He’s the only gay guy in this group photo, so he’s gonna go for modesty when he should be baring those tits and pushing them forward.
New kids and boys from the backstreet are back as full grown men. It’s gottah be embarrassing at this point.
But I totally get it. Money talks. And bullshit doesn’t always walk.
Luv,
Me
