Two awesome videos from Mika for us today, so totally cool :D! I smiled, and felt loved through both of them :D Do rest up, grab a refreshment, I believe I have the ALMOST perfect way to entice Adam into our home/lair. Well, "almost" is the operative word here, plan would include Sauli and whether he would willingly get into the black van without windows to be driven to our Love Shack or if he would have to be snatched :  Having Adam and Sauli over for dinner and not having to go to jail at the end of the evening is the gray area that needs to be worked out.  Well, luring Sauli shouldn't be a problem - our allies in N.Europe are very trusting - they leave their babies in plastic wrapped prams outside restaurants (an awesome idea by the way). As for easing the whole brief captivity issue - I think ice cream might be key - like a full sundae bar (hot fudge!) - next to a vodka/martini bar and a table of flea market/vintage jewelry. Add some trance music and large floor pillows (maybe a hookah) and you prob. won't be able to get rid of them. |

Since I am totally convinced it will take Sauli being the bait/guest, at our blowout/barn-burner/frolic/merrymaking/romp............nice to know he will be a willing participant. Really was hoping to not have to send a ransom note to Adam for the return of Sauli to get Adam on board with this fab evening I am planning! Does anyone have ANY money left for bail, or, have we donated it all to Charity:Water? :D |

wow!! Just think how exciting it would be to have Adam Fucking Lambert dating your brother!!! (Or son, for that matter  ) I'd sacrifice my husband to the cause, for that matter. Does that make me a bad person? A bad wife? A lost cause? I'll ask him when he gets home in a few days. It's not a telephone kind of question. |

I've pondered why FYE hasn't reached platinum status in the states for a while and I was satisfied with "the industry is down as a whole" and "platinum isn't everything" answers but lately I've come to the conclusion that he hasn't achieved platinum because retailers simply DO NOT KEEP HIS MERCHANDISE IN STOCK (in certain regions/states). With previous posts of B&N selling out and limited supplies at Walmart/BB of GNL I have a strong hunch that retailers don't order any more copies than already provided. Also there's the Miranda Lambert debacle. I mean you'd expect the stockboy to notice the difference between Miranda and Adam Lambert yet he purposely places Adam in her slot. Case in point: I mean I doubt potential new fans of Adam would look in the country section of all places; behind Miranda's stuff. Sorry for venting in post-GNL release day. I guess it's been on my mind for a while now. I'll go back to lurking mode. Actually, there may be many reasons for FYE not being platinum in the US but lack of retail outlets stocking the album is not a problem.It have been stocked at every Walmart*, Target* and Best Buy since it was released. Just in those chains it is in 6,000 retail doors and every market in the US. RCA also had it in Walgreens, CVS, and other retail locations for a total of over 20,000 more locations for the first 2 months. That is not counting B&N, Borders, and the smaller book and music specialty chains. There were no gaps in the US and no market without GNT. RCA did a great job distributing FYE to US Retail. I'm usually not a huge conspiracy theorist, but I'm with reihmer on this one, something was fishy at way too many stores. I don't think it was RCA's fault but something wasn't right. I remember during the Christmas shopping season when there was a call out to all Glamberts to check their local stores the results were not great. Some stores were fine but way too many, it seemed liked more than half, had no FYE or one or two in the wrong place many people reported no FYE for months. I had my sister check out Target a few times and she could only find Take One. Adam was very polarizing at the time and Target and Walmart both have bad track records with the LGBT communities. Who knows what happened, just like radio play we'll never know. Hopefully whatever went wrong with the stocking for FYE will have worked itself out for #2. But I'd rather we keep an eye on the situation from day 1 and if all is well... great, if not we can try and at least bring the problem to light before Chistmas shopping is done. |

Having Adam and Sauli over for dinner and not having to go to jail at the end of the evening is the gray area that needs to be worked out.
