5.26.13 The day after Live Ball 2013!

Random comments -

I really, really, really like this song.  Where are you, itunes?

On the red carpet, is that an indentation at the third eye where the crystal would later be applied?

The weight of the coat doesn't seem to have slowed him down any.  He strutted down that runway like nobody's business.

I support all three of Lindsay's wishes, not necessarily in that order.

Thanks to everyone who posted all the glamorous photos, tweets and news yesterday!  Deep bow to wal, who apparently never sleeps.

RT @adam_pictures: 16 HQ pictures of Adam Lambert from Life Ball 2013 (May 25) - bit.ly/16XhtOR

Most of these pictures are even higher resolution than the previous one. So, I can tell even more on the costume.

A zoom in on this picture show that contrary to my previous post, the head piece applique does not have any sequin - it is all rhinestones surrounded by gold glass beads. But there are sequin trims going around the head. The turbin appears to be made from various colors (royal blue & silver) of Mystique lycra or Micro-dot lycra (different names for different manufactures). See: spandexworld.com/c3/catalog/product/7696

Also, the collar has blue rhinestones on the top and silver rhinestones on the bottom with some gold, maybe glass beads, in some areas. Note that "silver" rhinestones are what the clear looking ones are called even though they are not really a true silver color. There is a rhinestone trim - a string of smaller topaz or gold rhinestones - along the edge of the collar.



And in a zoom in of this picture you can see that the appliques on the top of the coat has a background of silver rhinestones rather than silver sequins as can be discerned from the faceted faces. (Actually, you could get faceted faces from "cup" sequins turned upside down, but they would not reflect light in this way and you would see a hole for thread in the middle. There are 2 types of sequin - "cup" and "flat".) The green areas are mostly flat sequins.

If you want a mp3 version of the song, Terra's is likely the best quality you can find now.

ETA - Click on "HD720p TS caps recorded by dylwys, courtesy of LaStupenda" and it will open a Mega Beta download link with the 2 TS files and the MP3 file. Right click on the MP3 file and select "download".

ETA2 - OH, just noticed that the TS LWOG file has 4 audio streams in it, which is likely why the audio won't play in Windows Media Player. But in VLC Media Player you can select which audio stream to play. On the top menu bar of VLC, click "Audio", then click "Audio Track". Select "Track 3" for the best quality audio. Terra used track 3 to make the mp3 file. Audio Track 1 (the default) is the 2nd best quality. Tracks 2 & 4 are the same and the lowest quality audio.
