Eek. I didn't even know that they still sold those big wax novelty lips. I finally looked up Amanda Lepore and found out she is transgender... who knew... in any case - one scary looking lady...perhaps that's the point - to stand out... I looked back on other LifeBall opening acts and Amanda Lepore was one..back a few years ago. She's a regular at the Blonds fashion weeks as well. |

I can't make this link work. Can someone bring it over? Very annoying when the link is not the original one. www.kleinezeitung.at/nachrichten/leute/lifeball/3319539/cavalli-kurkova-aufwaermen-fuer-den-life-ball.story I think I posted it earlier today and translated too - but I'll do it again if you missed it. Ins Thema "1001 Nacht" führte Melanie Griffith ein, bevor der amtierende "Music's Sexiest Man", US-Star Adam Lambert als Ali Baba, den offiziellen Song "Love Wins Over Glamour" sang. Er war übrigens der erste bekennende homosexuelle Pop-Künstler, der auf Platz eins der US-Charts stürmte - 2012.

As much money and coordination that were poured into this event, I would be extremely surprised if his costume was not tailored along with the rest of the costumes. In addition to the coat, some one had to make the turban and someone made him some boots to match. He may be wearing his own pants and shirt but I think they probably told him what would be suitable. Nope, I don't think there was any reworking of an old garment for this shindig. Of course, that's just what makes sense to me. ITA, Marchhare!
Plus I don't think the Sleepwalker coat was durable enough fabric for all those crystals..those puppies get heavy. But...??? LMAO..when I posted I didn't think we were having a full analysis of Adam's coat! OK...so he recycled the turban from????_______???  Lessee, got the shoes..whose got the shirt and pants covered? Underwear if any? lol.. Seriously, I was sorry I had to miss the fashion show. Had to leave..anyone know time-wise on the livestream when it might have started? I love fashion shows! Cute Adam dancing..bet he dances tonite..  |

Difficult to say if it's the same coat or not but it looks very similar. It's quite possible to remodel it: open the armpit seam and take in from the lower part. The thing that I'm most dubious about is the material that indeed looks very thin in the Sleepwalker coat. The remodeling takes time, maybe almost as long as making a new one - and a new one could have 'stronger' fabric as material. Also part of the embroidery could be first done to the fabric before the coat is sewn up which makes that part easier and quicker. If it's not the SW coat it surely is made according to it. I think the work was done in Vienna by the arts team / student project like the other costumes. I was believing it's a new one but then came to think about the buttons. Why make so many buttons when they serve no purpose and with the embroidery you cannot even see them, they don't have even a decoration purpose anymore? Also a new one would need a fitting - was there time for that? No worries about that if the piece was used and tried - just give it to them to do their magic. So, probably SW coat after all. Sad to see it go but Adam has done the trick many times over and seems not to be too attached to their sentimental value. I think he is happy to have it renewed. ETA I didn't look the SW video which was the argument against LB coat being SW coat based on the missing armpit holes. Maybe the hole were made later during the tour? I think almost all his stage clothes have the holes. Necessary for this type of coat especially. And I remember now the interview where he said it was in the BM, didn't he say it was about ruined or something to the effect, having sand everywhere. Well, if the SW coat was about ruined, then that would be an argument for the LB coat to be a newly made one in the same style. There is at least 5 pounds of stones on that coat, so if the material was too thin or too week from wear, then it would not hold up with the stoning. If it is the SW coat, then it would have had to be seriously taken in on the back because the LB coat is definitely more fitted to lower on the back than the SW coat. ETA - Next time Adam has a twitter party, or an interviewer asks for questions, we can ask this question. It's the only way we will ever know for sure! |

Which is why it has to be tailored to fit his back closely to the hipline. Ballroom gowns are made the same way - they must be very close fitting through the torso to the hipline in other to distribute the weight of the dress and keep it from sagging under the weight. Otherwise you feel the weight of the gown being carried all in the shoulders and every time you turn around you feel the whole gown move through the torso. |

This makes me so happy. Adam has gotten to do so many amazing things in his career so far that are just so fitting to who he is and what some of his dreams are. (Secret confession. Does anyone else ever daydream about going back in time and showing the teenager he was about all the amazing things he's going to do and become? Probably just me. I'd add a blushing smilie if my phone could handle them)Yes, wouldn't that be fun?!!!  |

Just waiting for your lyrics! "I am coming hard with heavy pockets" figuring out lyrics is fun! The word you are not getting is because it is "rocket" not Rocking. I got my jewels, I got a rocket.My favorite line; "I'm comin hard with heavy pockets" and we need of GIF of the GB grab then! 
The rest of it
But I'm not gonna keep it
That's why I open up my bag and let it goLoad my cash up in a big bag and hit the roadPots of gold won't do, little brotherIf you don't share your love with one another
"Flash" don't matter
Love wins over GlamourWas all alone with all my riches 'round meCouldn't get over all the diamondsI tried to roll in all my gold, but honeyThere was no love that it could shine on, shine onLove was gone out of sightI was un-satisfiedI want to do it rightI need to love tonight! ![]() That's why I open up my bag and let it goLoad my cash up in a big bag and hit the road
Pots of gold won't do, little brother
If you don't share your love with one another
Flash don't matter
Love wins over Glamour
I got the secret code
Stand up! Get a clue from meCold hearts -------
If you get hot then baby come with me
C'mon, Ya!
Oooo little brother, brother, brother, brother << that is electro background (repeat) That's why I open up my bag and let it go
Load my cash in a big bag and hit the road
Pots of gold won't do, little brother
If you don't share your love with one another
Cuz love is the key
So, Open Sesame!
You've got the key, you've got the key, you've got the key, you need the key!
Love wins over glamour!
