No, IMHO it's not photoshoped and that's why I have this big "WTF!?" moment when I saw this photo LOL  She posts a lot of pics like that. I think she calls them "hanging pics" or something. lol You are right, Albiku, It's not photoshopped and it came form her own Instagram. She does photos of herself in weird up in the air places all the time. |

When you look closely you can see it's barely holding her weight and it was my second thought that this is a miracle that she didn't hurt herself or this poor, little shelf  |

Though have to say - have to skip two thirds of the posts, not that I don't value your (collective) opinion, but it really difficult to read most speculations when you live inside the situation. To me a lot of news from US, for example, sounds as bad or even more dangerous and still, when I talk to my friends who live in various parts of US, it all seems exaggerated or out of context or smth else (unless it's shooting). As Adam stays away from politics I follow his example and try not to discuss anything without having real to date experience or first-hand information. Yes, there are facts, but! there are interpretations of the facts and sometimes you can't really say that what you see is what you're told. Hope, it's understandable, 'cause I'm really sleepy, it's almost three in the morning here You're absolutely right and I'm guilty for not mentioning that my son loved St. Pete's, the people, the city and the beauty of it all - Moscow too, and Kiev. And as far as taking the high road, the U.S. has factions that would love to pass the same laws that we're hearing about in St. Pete's and other places. Things are changing here for the better and people like Adam are proof of that - gradual change has allowed him to be so open and his (and others') openness contributes to even more change. It seems like acceptance is gaining momentum now. I still worry that the socially conservative factions could set us back given the power to do so. I, for one, apologize for trying to sound informed on something I don't really know anything about first hand. I love that this board is so international and we can actually learn about other places from folks like you, January Snow, that know what you're talking about. It's been an education, truly. Thanks, Adam, for expanding my world. |

To answer the question, "why was I hostile?"
First, words were put into my mouth that I didn't say.
But mostly, you ladies are wearing me out. This is the 3rd city, this tour, where the "I hope Adam doesn't get arrested meme" started off the day. Can't scroll because that was pretty much every page this morning.
It just gets old, after a while you know? He did fine in Malaysia during Glam Nation, fine in Singapore with the Star Church group, fine in Moscow, and he will be fine in St. Petersburg. Honestly, the angst makes me not want to be here. :-/

Just popping in to throw out a guess about " Na zdorovye!. As a musical comedy freak, I always remember the story of the first time his parents realized he could sing - he was in a production of Fiddler on the Roof and he played the Russian soldier who gets up on a table in the middle of the song "Le Chaim" and gets everyone's attention with a long, high note. Then he sings:
Zachava zdarovia
Heaven bless you both nazdrovia
To your health and may we live together in peace
I'll bet that's why he remembers it - it's the Russian equivalent of "To Life." (also I think he spelled it wrong!)
It seems that this phrase means different things, depending on the language you're using. According to this article, in Russian "na zdorovie" isn't a toast, but it means "you're welcome" or "enjoy it". However, in Polish "Na zdrowie" is a toast, meaning "to your health".
suite101.com/article/na-zdorovie-the-truth-about-russian-toasts-and-drinking-customs-a313468
My family is Polish and my grandparents always used this toast on birthdays. Never realized that it meant something else in Russian. Not sure what Adam was trying to say, but "enjoy it" would be appropriate at one of his concerts. Who doesn't have a good time at a Glamily show?
Commenting in an "easy" topic "На здоровье" -transliterated as "Na zdorovie" is used as "cheers" and the literal meaning of the the words is "to your health". The expression can ALSO be used as "you are welcome" or with the meaning of "enjoy" in some circumstances. |

(Never really been there before.....) |

I really love the way Adam and the Glamily do Cuckoo and I wish I could have seen it performed live! They are having so much fun up there it's infectious! I think the Glamily energy level in Helsinki is going to raise the roof!!
I'm looking forward to the last two concerts. It's going to be a little sad when they are over...Adam and the band have really bonded so well together. They really seem to enjoy working with each other.
But looking forward to album 3 and the new things Adam will develop!!

He was arrested abroad as we all remember (and it had nothing to do with LGBT rights which would be at least a worthy cause) - so we seriously should give a rest to this "OMG what if he wiil be arrested". Nothing bad will happen. This is RPA and serial killer thing all over again.

I know Ashley is tiny, but how is that little shelf holding her weight??? So we now have another 'bendy' member of the Glamily.. "The Bendy Bunch"..lulz.. When you look closely you can see it's barely holding her weight and it was my second thought that this is a miracle that she didn't hurt herself or this poor, little shelf  |
