Nair That Armpit Hair!

Okay, we know you think we're weird, but there IS a method to the madness. It's our little theory about the boys and their armpits. Wanna hear it? Good, cause you were going to anyway.

First of all, we DO literally mean their armpits...it's not a joke. It all started the night the CBS Special aired. Abbie and I were off somewhere together. I think we were off at the mall or eating at our favorite place. We actually didn't get home in time to see the special. Oops! What horrible fans we are! No...my Mom was taping it for me and Abbie has the west channel (she can see anything twice). We did NOT miss it. Actually, it was Abbie watching that special that started this whole theory, which we both came up with.

During one of the tear-jerker moments of "Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely", Nick belts out a Whitney Houston-like note and raises his arm high in the air. This is nothing new, but what we never noticed before is that Nick has no armpit hair. Nope....none. See for yourself! There's nothing there! Smooth as baby's butt! From this strange capture from the CBS Special, Abbie concluded that Nick MUST shave his armpits. But what if there were another explanation? What if Nick didn't do it? There has to be a reason! Hmmm...wonder what I'm talking about? Read on to find out....

Neither one of us thought of Nick as the kind of guy to shave his armpits. The hairless thing drove us both crazy for weeks after the special aired. Abbie just knew he had to shave it...my Mom said it was just so fine and light, you couldn't see it. I decided they both must be wrong. Neither is a logical explanation. (sorry, Abbie) Then, one night, I (Katie) was sitting at my computer just lookin' around on Backstreet.net, as I often am. I found the captures from the CBS Special. I had to look for the picture of Nick with no armpit hair. As you can tell, I found it. (see above picture.) But what I also found was something very strange about our dear friend Howard.

Howard is bald under there too! How could this be? Nick and Howard both with no armpit hair? There was just something too weird about the concept of it all. I gave Abbie's solution another thought. Maybe Howie and Nick both shave their armpits. I thought of my Mom's reasoning. Howie's hair is just too light to see. NO! That can't be it. There was a slim chance for Nick on that theory because he's blonde, but not Howard! That's just not possible for Howard! There HAS to be some reason! I could not rest until I found a reason for thier lack of under-arm hair.

Here we go again! Another Backstreet Boy with no armpit hair! What is going on with these guys? Well, after much thought on the subject, I have finally come up with a reasonable and valid conclusion to why these three Backstreet Boys have no armpit hair. It was all Kevin. Of Course! It was Kevin! "Why?" You might ask? Because of his jealousy. That's it! The mystery is solved! It's so simple. Why didn't I think of it before? Ya know how Nick is always pickin' on Kevin, right? Well, Kevin has finally gotten his revenge. After years and years of being tortured by the rest of the Boys about his furrier-than-normal eyebrows,

Kevin has finally gotten fed up with it. We're not sure about what set him off (one of Nick's practical jokes, no doubt) but one night, while all the Boys slept, cozy on their tour bus, Kevin plotted his evil scheme. With a bottle of Nair and an devilish look upon his face, Kevin went from Nick to Howie to AJ. But why didn't he get Brian? That one's easy! It's because "He's mah cousin. I've known him all mah life." It's all clear, isn't it? When Nick, Howie and AJ woke up from their slumbers that morning, they were greeted with pink smelly Nair all over their armpits and no hair under there. Kevin has finally gotten his revenge for all the eyebrow comments. I guess that taught them not to pick on Kevin for a while. Now, to all you people picking on Kevin...remember the Nair incident the next time you make fun of Kevin's eyebrows. YOU may be next!
And here's a little side note to Kevin: Go Elmo!!....uh....I mean Kevin...oops.... They deserved it! :)
