So far I have not seen a single "Napoleon" reference, which was the first thing that came to MY mind. Is that a European thing? BC that pose and fashion is PURE Napoleon to me, only softened by knowing N. was tiny and Adam is tall .... I really get the Austria-German-Prussian royalty vibe here. The thing that stands out to me is that Adam "owns" this very unnatural look and makes it sensual--it's his lips I think. Also that thumbnail with the dark polish seems like a wink to me.  |

How about Merlin the wizard for his ever changing looks while managing to look perfect in all of them. A wizard indeed.

Using "Mel" in the term would make this look a subtype of the original look and I don't think it is a subtype. I think it is its own entity. Humor me for now. With the highly creative minds here I know we can come up with a few completely new terms that truly fits this new style/look. We can always revert or use the mel if we don't find something that accurately depicts.

Thank you! I was going to call and ask since I didn't see it there this weekend! Now I see my email for it! What issue is it again so I don't order the wrong one? Thanks. Is it 23? ETA: My email just said Section 3 because there are 6 sections. But we need to put the right issue, too. |

This is at first glance OTT but I think it has resonance to Adam because like the artist in this article Adam and I think many other true artists have to decide how much of their soul and experience they are willing to trade for popularity, sales and radio play. www.nytimes.com/2012/12/09/opinion/sunday/knaan-on-censoring-himself-for-success.html?hp&_r=1&"Over breakfast in SoHo, we talked about how to keep my new American audience growing. My lyrics should change, my label’s executives said; radio programmers avoid subjects too far from fun and self-absorption. And for the first time, I felt the affliction of success. When I walked away from the table, there were bruises on the unheard lyrics of my yet-to-be-born songs. A question had raised its hand in the quiet of my soul: What do you do after success? What must you do to keep it? If this was censorship, I thought, it was a new kind — one I had to do to myself. The label wasn’t telling me what to do. No, it was just giving me choices and information, about my audience — 15-year-old American girls, mostly, who knew little of Somalia. How much better to sing them songs about Americans..." |
