The thing, that sets Gian apart from the rest of Adam’s dates is, that he „officially“ appears on Adam’s social media. I don’t think, the others mentioned have. Only Adam on theirs. 😉

Guess I'm in the minority, but I think the collar and chain thing is sexy. Not something I'd wear myself (LOL) but I thought he had fun with in onstage with QAL. He played around the chain and I thought it looked kind of hot. This guy may not be his BF or anything. I'm not reading too much into it. LOL! You are not alone. I thought it was just a fun thing and not a message to fans to take seriously. He said in one interview that he dates but hopes to someday be in a serious relationship. Not sure how already there is knowledge of how the relationship (if it is more than friends) is defined. I feel a bit sad for him. Why can't he define his own relationships without a negative spin from fans? I haven’t seen a negative spin on here, only on instagram. If you mean me being uncomfortable with the collar: I never liked it or the chain, was always glad, when he changed costumes. BUT I know, others loved that and that Adam had his fun with it. I never criticized it and if he and his friend like to wear it, I accept that. But I like other outfits definitely more. 😉 And like you said, I would never define his relationship by that. Especially since Adam loves to wear that anyway. On the other hand, after I learned some things about these things today, it’s no wonder to me, that this kind of talk has started. I mean, this picture is all over his social media. How often did Adam post pics with unknown young man on Facebook? It must mean something, I would think.

Audio Game - Day 8 Song: LucyAs I mentioned last Fri/Sat, we have 2 HQ recordings for the 2018 London O2 shows. Each recording has different characteristics. We made a mix of the 2 recordings which we hope is better than each of the 2 recordings individually. To evaluate the success of the mix, we would like to play a little game. Each day I will post links to 3 audio files for the same song, one from each of the 2 recordings and one from the mixed recording. I'm not going to tell you which is which - they will be marked "A", "B", & "C" and it will change daily. I'm also not going to tell you which O2 concert the files are from. What I want from you all is to give me feed back on what you think of each recording. My feelings will not be hurt by any negative feedback on the audio. We are looking for honest feedback so that we can make the processed recordings better. I've uploaded the files in 3 formats: M4A, MP3 & FLAC. (FLAC is the best quality!) Choose which one you like. Each link will take you to that 1 song on Mega with a very prominent download button. For the M4A files only, you can also play the song directly on the Mega page!(Direct play might not work on Macs.) Please give the following feedback in the thread: 1) Which version do you like best & 2nd best? And why? 2) Which format did you listen to, FLAC, M4A, or MP3? 3) Did you listen on a PC or on a Smartphone? 4) Did you listen using speakers, headphones or earbuds? If speakers, was it the speaker on the PC or a better speaker? If you want to guess which recording is mine, Nick's, or the mix, please send that to me in a PM. I'd like to get everyone's reaction to the recordings before saying which recording is which. M4A - Play and/or DownloadLucy - ALucy - BLucy - CMP3 - Download OnlyLucy - ALucy - BLucy - CFLAC - Download OnlyLucy - ALucy - BLucy - CP.S. This is the 8th out of 8 songs in the game. At the end of the game, I will give a full review of the feedback, including which recordings A, B, & C refer to. Today, for this song, Lucy....I actually like C...the vocal centric version in FLAC I like the focus on the vocals here. Background is enough, but not too much. The other two versions are a little "too much". In M4a....I liked A the best. Good balance with the arena sound.

Interesting discussion today, but IMO, unless Adam is in the BDSM lifestyle, the "collar" is nothing but a fashion statement. I don't see how Gian wearing it means anything, certainly not an indication of a "serious" relationship lol.
On the other hand, he certainly seems to like those European boys, maybe it's the accent lol?
Not that it matters, but I don't find him particularly attractive at all, but then I think I have weird taste in men. My nice (25) was drooling over a video of Jason Momoa, says she wants a boyfriend just like him, and I replied ewwwwww.

I looked at a couple Youtubes on pronunciation....and one was the Italian version. Thought maybe it was a common name in The Netherlands. You know many of us had Gelly's pronunciation wrong...calling her Jelly instead of hard G Gelly. I'm glad Adam is dating...or at least trying to date. Seems they met when QAL was in Amsterdam.....and then had another meetup when Gian came over to London during the O2 shows when Gian and Rory Taylor started following each other. So this is kinda a second date. Remember Dana....Adam went out with him in Boston and then took him to Ibiza. Appears that just didn't work out beyond that second date. Then there was William back in 2015.. that didn't work out either. (To me Gian and William kinda favor in looks). That's just a few we know about. There may have been many others. So, we'll just have to see where, if any where, this relationship goes. You never know if you don't give it a try. Adam seems to be attracted to twenty something cute dudes with accents....lol. 6 weeks from today I'll be flying to Vegas! It's really coming quickly. My brain is not bringing up any image of a William. Can you help me out....with even a page in a thread from years back. Merci! I think the choker choice might be as simple as...Adam opening his jewellery drawers and letting Gian pick anything he wanted for the Trashy event. And that was the trashiest thing he liked!

William lived/s in NYC and is from Paris. He's the one that was at the Beverly Hilton Halloween event 2015 and stayed a few days at Adam's house. He provided pics...lol I can't put my finger on the pics he took walking out on Adam's balcony. There was a pic of him and Adam in the backseat of a car where they looked like they were hiding from cameras. I think he and Gian have similar full, curly hair, kinda full/round face and similar eyes. Google William Rootpeter and you'll see lots of pics. Looks like he's shut down his IG account.

Why? That picture is already on instagram. And that „bondage gear“ is Adam’s collar, or not? Had he not worn it even at a Queen concert? 🤔 Or interesting in the way, that Adam is making his relationship with Gian public? Both really. Interesting in that Facebook, his largest SM audience though not most active, is reportedly not run by Adam. It is usually ‘work’ related postings (he very occasionally posts but has said not him posting personally most of the time), also a more older, conservative leaning format at least in the US. Twitter is him most of the time, a mix of both private and work but again not usually the more personal stuff. Instagram, smallest audience leaning more international and younger than the other two formats - his go to place for personal stuff. Yes, it is Adam’s collar, him wearing it is him wearing it, but his date wearing it sends a bit of a different message don’t you think? That screams possessive domination to me. Just not sure a heavily filtered photo of my new beau in bondage gear at a decedence festival is what I would choose to announce a new serious relationship to a fandom that in the best of times is neurotic as hell and the rest of time is batshit crazy. But, hey that’s just me...😂😂😂😂 ahhh, I see your edit. 😂😂 The Bondage necklace was "dress up" for Sunday festival in LA the theme was "tramp' summer tramp.. Sometimes "a cigar is just a cigar" It was a party.. nothing to write home about.. Nobody knows if the handsome guy was even Adam's date... a vivid imagination is just like a good cigar.. just saying.
