Late to the party as usual so serious catching up to do......
Gelly and Alek, so, so happy you are back. Missed you so much! :wub: :wub: :wub:
Those on the path of hurricane Sandy, praying for your safety.
On People's Choice, for both song and album, I noticed that the format is song/album followed by the artist's name. I have only been writing Trespassing so I hope those counted. Now I am including Adam's name after Trespassing to make sure my votes are counted.
LOL, on the fan following, I have been writing Glamberts but autocorrect on my iPad keeps changing it to Glam berets. Hey, I kind of like that. Wearing a beret could be our signature. Wasn't there a picture of BB in a beret? (Gelly I am sure you will find that in 1,2,3). We are his Glam Beret Brigade!

My husband has been out of town for work for the past two weeks so I have been insanely busy and am just now finally catching up----SNOL played Trespassing!!! I hope DMG/RCA take note, this is what smart promo will get you. The power of PLL.
And I also have to share, I live in the Chicago area where Adam pretty much doesn't exist. But last Friday, I dropped two high school girls off for practice (older sisters of a couple of my son's friends) and they talked the whole way there about PLL. They had no idea who Adam was prior to this, but they went on and on about how cute he is, and one already bought the CD. My kids are pretty young, so I had no idea how popular PLL is, or how anticipated this Halloween episode was. Anyway, what awesome promo this was for Adam!

Anyway, I just finished stuffing peppers and zucchinis; now they are cooking by themselves on the stove, the smell spreading all through the apartment. Yummy. And now, I'm so in the mood for writing something, but I need inspiration, I'm always inspired by someone's post. So, post away, please  ( I.just.do.not.want.to.vacuum.and.do.the.dusting.  ) #ignoringthechores #pretendingtobeworkingbutactuallyberting #imminentdivorce #homelessnessonthehorizon uhhhh, it's burrito with a lowercase b.

Wow, hard to come up with words when you're half-asleep. Too early in the am for me. #imminentdivorce - sad to hear that. :( |

I'm trying to quote Leenaseyez's comment on the "Brooke Shields" photo but things are misbehaving. So here is my comment without the quote.
All evidence shows he would be a champion drag queen. Remember the short boa action during AI tour? Look at the walk, the hand on the side, the attitude. Wasn't there a red boa also? Can't find it.
And the fabulous runway model strut from Dragon Attack in London at 25 sec. I'm sure you all are familiar with it--feet crossing over in front of each other on each step and knees jutting out front. And, of course, the exotic sideways steps before exiting with Dr. Bri (4:00). Look at the head tilt back and the whole attitude. How does he do these things with his body? I am so in awe of his physicality.
Oh and one minute it is runway strut, and the next minute completely masculine stance and moves.

One of my top Adam pics of all time. This pic and a few others really excited me when I first saw it and realized we were being given the gift of someone who not only had a mind boggling voice but was also willing to dare and go wherever his heart wanted, willing to try it all, and who reveled in breaking out of the boxes, as true artists do. When I saw that he was setting all sides of himself free and went there I simply fell in love. I absolutely could not believe that mainstream America was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to see him on American Idol. How can anyone not fall in love with him? He is a drop dead gorgeous femme fatal in this incredibly hot pic. Love beyond measure that he went there. This pic along with a few others put him on my real deal serious creative artist list. I know there is a lot of pressure on him now to be cool in a safer more pop, more mainstream "acceptable" way. Mainstream acceptance has huge benefits and is easier in a myriad of ways that cannot be underestimated. I do not judge anyone who decides to play it safer. And maybe he has no desire to explore as far but I really hope that he still has the courage to really go there should he want to even in the spotlight because among other things I think the courage to express this kind of freedom excites, intrigues, and pushes everyone to really think about and rethink preconceived notions. Part of what is so great about Adam and pics like this is, here is a really healthy, sociable, loving, down to earth guy and people are forced to think about their comfort zones and fears, what is really so scary about breaking down traditional gender norm behaviors. Really, what is the big deal? Scares some maybe because of their own issues but really is deeply, deeply inspiring. On the other hand I understand there are pressures now, external and internal, that were not there before. He is a wonderful role model for many and he feels a strong responsibility in this position. So, he has a lot more to think about when it comes to public image and presentation. I agree with absolutely everything, Skylar! Coming from the country where any derailment from the socially imposed patterns and approved standards is frowned upon, where homophobia is not only present, but is openly denoted as the thing which endangers the survival of holy Serbian race, I've embraced Adam’s fluidity with love, clutching at it as a drowning (wo)man to a straw. I don't know if Adam wants go there again, Skylar, but I'd like to think he would if he wanted to, regardless of his public image and presentation. I just feel he is on a different path right now, the one which made him express his support for Obama a couple days ago, and the reasons for it. He still plays gorgeous dress-up, though. Quoting here a Russian writer: If you want to be happy, be. It sounds obvious, but it really isn’t. Quoting him again: All happy families resemble one another, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. I completely disagree with this one: I believe that what makes each person happy is individual and so specific, that it is almost rude to compare. Whereas misery always comes from the same source and is basically the same: ignorance and close-mindedness for others and, most importantly, for yourself. Adam’s liberation is his own personal achievement, but it plays a small and essential role in the liberation of others. I appreciate him voicing his political opinion. I followed Barack Obama as a support to my American friends facing an important decision. The impact of their decision will be felt worldwide. US has always been dictating political trends, therefore, human rights trends as well. As it should. So, please, choose right. To end on a more cheerful note: Skylar: We were being given the gift of someone who not only had a mind boggling voice but was also willing to dare and go wherever his heart wanted, willing to try it all, and who reveled in breaking out of the boxes, as true artists do. When I saw that he was setting all sides of himself free and went there I simply fell in love. How can anyone not fall in love with him?Beats me, Skylar. |

Wanted to tell everyone how Adam's music is getting played. Last night I went to a Halloween party my daughter and her fiance had. She had tons of music on rotation for the 75 plus crowd that attended. She told me she put Trespassing, NCOE and Runnin in the mix. For me of course! I have to say the crowd loved his music and when Trespassing came on the crowd went wild and we all started line dancing. When that song is blasted through the speakers it is fantastic! What a beat!!! We think because its not getting a lot of radio play people don't know the song. WE ARE WRONG! It was a wonderful party, I went as a NUN, haha. ;D Can't wait to see the pictures |

Alex, back at you! Love you girl! Knew you were kidding about #imminent divorce. By now I think I understand your sense of humor. But what I love most about you are your insightful and thoughtful posts (When you decide to be serious). You are such a multifaceted person, just like our BB. Enjoy your stuffed peppers and zucchini. They sound yummy indeed! |

Yep to your deduction skills. ;D I only found this on the red boa: he kicks one back to the audience, somewhere in the middle.
