I have not yet attempted to take my husband to see Adam or QAL live. He knows how I feel about Adam, he sees the photo galleries I have saved on my ipad and computer, he sees me streaming the videos, he knows I need not be disturbed when I'm 'Berting'. I did take two of his friends to the second QAL show in Toronto. They were both die hard Queen fans (as I have been for many years), but they were not familiar with Adam. I remember having lunch with them the day before the concert and explaining to them how amazing he is and what to expect at the concert. I have to admit I was nervous as we sat in our seats waiting for the show to start - wondering how they would react. I glanced at them a couple of times during the show and knew they were enjoying it, but as we were leaving the show, my husbands buddy had a grin on his face a mile wide and leaned over and said "BTW you let us know when Adam goes on tour because we're going with you". I was sooooooo happy ! I have been a devoted Adam fan since his audition on Idol, and I have been a Queen fan since I was a teenager. Having them together is like my chocolate and peanut butter colliding !!!!!! I'm enjoying this ride so much. So many great things for Adam right now - he puts a smile on my face every single day. At QAL I had people I didn't know on my left and right. The mother/daughter team on the right were die-hard Queen fans. They had seen QPR and the Tribute show. They were very excited to see Brian and Roger. The girls to my left were Adam fans. When Adam came down the catwalk for the first time all glittery and golden I was beside myself -- you know, seeing him for real and all that. The Adam fan directly to my left was as awestruck as me and we just grabbed each other and jumped up and down. At the end of the night, the girls to the right grabbed me and we jumped up and down because they loved Adam and were so glad they had come. It really does make a difference when you are surrounded by people that are having a great time. It does, indeed. I was next to bamafan at the Chicago QAL concert, and the two young women - Queen fans - were haughty and disrespectful towards us before the curtain rose; as well as through the concert. We were 'Glamberts' and of a certain age; and that was enough for them. Well, so what?? I've tried, as well, to convince my friends that Adam is the icon for the 21st century. Why don't they believe me? I don't get it! I've given them CDs; they've seen the video of IZOD and my ten seconds (it gets shorter every time) singing with AFL; they really are happy I'm happy . . . but they are staying home while I'm heading to London in the dead of winter; wondering why I'm doing this ridiculous thing. You guys - we are of a different breed. We are not going to bring the masses to Adam's feet. He will need to do it himself. He can only do it himself. In the end, when all is said and done, I think he will have the world in the gaze of his beguiling eyes. I have a husband who really, really likes Adam. Almost as much as he loves me. He checks out Adam's comings and goings, in hopes he can tell me what's up before I already know. He does it because he loves me; and I don't forget this devotion for a moment - ever. But I've never converted a soul. Not one. Not one friend out of many friends. They love me still, and allow me my flailing and joy - but they do not FEEL what I feel. Sometimes I think they try! Like I say, we are a different breed. What is it? Just the voice? The eyebrows? The shoulders? The androgyny? The masculinity? The friendliness? The challenge? The sex? The fucking unapologetic glambulge? The intelligence? Those lips? The gauges? The freckles? Just the voice, again? The sweet kindness? The rock edge? The sophistication? The elegance? The joy? Well. It's gotta be the DNA. The communion of something completely organic; surreptitiously organic and perfect that has made me different. Life is just not the same. Hasn't been for almost six years. I won't tell you how the brilliance of life propels me; because I think I'm preaching to the choir. I wish everyone on this earth could feel the inspiration of Adam. But they won't. So - in lieu of spinning with me, I only hope that his voice - which will only reach further into the consciousness of us all, as years go by - will find a way through the clouds; a sad heart; a lonesome life; a shattered dream; a broken soul . . . and create something better than today. |

From Glam Rockers To Tabloid Darlings: A History Of Black Nail Polish
By Sarah Ferguson
Sometime around 2006, Lauren Conrad wore black nail polish on The Hills and everything changed. Well, at least for me. I was a junior in high school and strattling the line between girly girl (I loved fashion and the color pink) and emo kid (my iPod Mini was filled with moody songs by Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional and the like). Lauren Conrad wearing black nail polish was a merging of my two worlds—suddenly the look was both edgy and chic.
I stuck with the color well into college, but once nail art burst onto the scene, the somber hue was quickly upstaged by bright greens, blues and purples.
But if the winter 2014 nail collections are any indication, black is about to have another major manicure moment. OPI, Deborah Lippmann and Givenchy—to name a few—all released new iterations of the shade this season—some glitter-specked, others rich and inky. In honor of the trend's comeback, I've put together a timeline of 12 defining moments in black nail polish history. Click through above to take a walk down memory lane.
2009
Adam Lambert makes a splash on the eighth season of American Idol. He doesn't win the top prize, but he does gain millions of fans that call themselves 'Glamberts.'
Five years later, Lambert fittingly fills in for the late Freddie Mercury while on tour with Queen.

Someone up thread, maybe Q3, said she would like to see Adam sing a holiday song on the Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting show some year. Tonight's show was so bad! IDK! :(

Momtomany......I love You !
We are a different breed.....we're special! Why do I "get it" and others don't...I don't know. I share "The Good News" with a smile and a CD and then let it go. Sometimes I feel like the Universe has chosen me to be a part of this select group that "gets it". I feel honored and very blessed. Being an Adam fan, supporting him and loving him has become the passion in my life. I am grateful beyond words for him and for each one of you like-minded kindred spirits!

I am struck by how many say they were never a fan, let alone Stan of anyone before Adam. I don't understand it but we seem to be linked to each other and dedicated to Adam's rightful claim to stardom. It is an amazing link between all of us.
