I think Adam leaves his "Queen" money in Europe - as in the Euro. The dollar's value is not what it used to be. Look at any clothes or cosmetics from Europe and the cost in dollars is very high. So he gets the beautiful European fabrics/materials and designs for a much better price than if he bought them here with dollars. His look is part of his celebrity/identity. Now, the last time I saw those boots, the sole on one of them was flapping like a tongue. He is good at having clothes, etc. redone/repaired. As we have noticed, most things reappear sooner or later. Not the turqoise board shorts, however. Hmmm. Wonder where they are? The money is worth the same whether he converts it to dollars or not -- except for modest currency fluctuations. His share probably is paid by LiveNation to one of Adam's US-based corporate entities. **** On the comments about Brian and his Adidas -- Adidas sponsored Queen for many years. I do not know if they still do but it is possible. At one point the whole band wore Adidas on tour. |

Man, Adam looks stunning! ...and Roger! I love the way he dresses!.... Brian definitely has his own "look". I always giggle at his white sneakers (didn't think anyone wore white sneakers anymore)... the man can do whatever he wants as far as I'm concerned. He's fabulous! I agree 1000% on all counts! |

The Adidas factoid is interesting. |

I am pretty sure that I have posted this before, but it is an interview with Helen Mirren where she talks about movie stars and how while they may look ordinary, they feel wonderful because the quality materials of the t-shirt, or sweatshirt in our case, is so much more luxurious. This is how I imagine Adam now, normal but in a luxurious way. Starts about 2:10 ... thedailyshow.cc.com/videos/pw55ko/helen-mirrenThere is no way around it = we must now touch Adam's clothes  Please may we have Adam in them when we do. :D |

Roger used to be very fashion forward....and he has worn purple velvet or velour jackets before. He wore one to an interview in 1989. I can't find a picture of it. Here is Roger in a purple velvet jacket from 2006, Toronto, Canada.  He must like purple -- from 1978:  And he has been known to rock some leopard print....(Live Killers Tour 1979):  ETA: Here he is in a purple suit. Roger Taylor (C) and Sarina Potgieter (R) attend the Julian Macdonald show during London Fashion Week SS14 at Goldsmiths' Hall on September 14, 2013 in London, England.  |

Roger looks great in pink! But I think Brian topped everyone: Brian May and Roger Taylor from rock group Queen pose together at the Video Music Awards in Los Angeles, USA on 9th September 1992  Sorry Bri --- but that looks like something my mother-in-law would have worn when she was 82 and living in Delrey Beach, FL. |
