Make You Smile

Your naked butt's on billboards.

April 17th 1999

Mark's P.O.V

"Naked? Like fully naked...No one is going to want to see that. What about underwear?" I said with a laugh.

Tom shrugged and gave me a once over pausing on my behind.

"I don't know man. You've got a really nice ass."

I chuckled.

"Thanks man. But do you really think this is a good idea for album artwork?"

Tom laughed.

"Well I mean Janine is going on the front so we'll be on the back or inside. I think it's a cool idea. If people like it we might even get asked to be naked more."

I shook my head.

"I think you're crazy. But I like it...Travis?"

Travis nodded.

"Yeah I think it'll look cool."

Tom grinned.

"It's decided then."

We'd finished recording our album. It'd be released in a couple of months. Our tour in Australia had gone so well we'd been invited back. I honestly couldn't believe how well things were going. I just kept waiting for something to go wrong.

We were doing promotional stuff right now. Interviews, press stuff you name it. The most exciting part of this promotional stuff was we were going to London. I couldn't wait to see her. I was going to surprise her. I'd missed her so much. Hearing her voice and reading her e-mails and letters wasn't enough.

Taylor's P.O.V

"blink - 182 Enema of the State Coming Soon."

Lizzie and I had simultaneously burst into a fit of giggles at the tube station upon seeing a new poster that was currently being stuck up. It was them. It was a promotional poster for their new album. Some of the posters had a very sexy nurse on them. And the other had the boys...in their underwear.

They looked ridiculous. And beautiful. And I missed them so fucking much it hurt. Especially Mark.

"Oh my God. This is hilarious. We need to call them right now." Said Lizzie between giggles.

The posters were getting a lot of attention that was for sure. Whether it was good attention or bad I didn't know. But there were a lot of people looking, smirking and laughing. Some older ladies at the end of the platform looked plain shocked and appalled.

I went up to the guy that was sticking the posters up.

"Excuse me uh would it be possible for me to have one of these?" I asked.

The guy gave me a very odd look and laughed.

"Knock yourself our love." He said letting me take one.

Lizzie and I giggled as we carried our poster home.

"So where are we hanging it?" I asked.

"Right. Here." Said Lizzie pointing to the space above the fireplace.

"Let's take pictures. We'll send them to them." I said with a grin.

Lizzie nodded and laughed as she ran to get the camera and we posed in varying ridiculous and sexual poses with the poster.

It was so much easier to stay in contact with the guys now we all had access to emails and cell phones but I still liked sending them things in the mail. Like photos, letters or funny things I found in England. They did the same for me.
