King of Pleasure
By Sharee Twitstein
The Kings of Pleasure are such a cool band, I mean duh everybody knows that, but their drummer has got to be the sexiest hunk since Fred Savage -- and he's a Gemini, so he's like two totally cute guys in one! This baby-faced 29-year-old musician, who says he's been working on his beefcake build for so many years, basing his bod on William Shatner and Adam West (eeew! they wish -- but that's what he says, so, what-EVER), is really into swing dancers. If that's not enough to knock your bobby sox off, he is also totally trying to quit smoking. I don't know about you, but I would SO give him something else to do with those sweet lips. Ohmygod, I can't believe I wrote that, but seriously, you know you would too! Anyway my dad gave me this awesome little tape recorder? Those totally cute ones? With the little mini tapes? So I took it to the last King's show [one of the last ever, ed.] and gave it to Swingin' teen editor MiChelle Drapier and she wrote it all down for me (Thanx MiChelle! Luv U! xoxoxo). I can not believe I got to talk to him in person. You are so jealous, I know -- I totally hate me too, almost -- ANYWAY, here's the interview!
SHAREE: Okay, hi! It's me, Share, and I'm going backstage right now to the 'green' room -- that's what they call the room where the band hangs out -- to meet Kyle Bronsdon in person! [screams] Omigod I'm totally gonna have a heart attack right now, and it's not 'cause I'm out of shape either 'cause I dance ALL the time. Anyway, I'm going in to the [screams] OH -- MY -- GOD!! It's HIM! Kyle I love you so much I swear to GOD I would have your childrenandbethemostawesomewifeandmotherfor therestofmylife --
KYLE: Who the hell are you?
S: Omigod, I am SO embarassed. I'm Sharee? From Swingin' teen magazine? I'm here to interview you?
K: Oh, Sharee, Hi! Pleased to meet you.
S: M-me too. [whispered] he's...touching...my..hand...! OKAY! Let's do me -- I mean this! The interview!
