I have a challenge. My Mom (a very young 73 year old) just told me that one of the first things she looks at on a man is his bulge. S0o I was telling her about the glam bulge and she didn't believe me and wanted to see. So my challenge is for those picture experts to post the biggest GB picture so that I can send it to her. It has to be in a format that I can use in an e-mail. I think that Gridlock shot should win that contest hands down. But I don't have a link handy. Lol that we're thinking of the exact same one hah |

The Glambert Nation is well on its way to becoming as much of a significant social force as the U2 fandom has been for the last 30 years. It is so easy for people to dismiss fans of musicians but in reality U2 fans have already paved the way and shown how a fan community can have significant social and political impact. Bono's power and influence is significant because his fans have rallied over and over to things he focuses his attention on and THAT is why he has the ear of pretty much every politician in the world. Adam's fans are well on the way to giving Adam similar power and influence. There is substantial evidence in press coverage that the media and the industry pay attention to Adam when he speaks and that is because of US. Own your power as a fan and wield it wisely. I know this is going to end up on page 15 or 16, but rihannsu your post inspired me so much. I guess it was easy for me to think that Bono and U2 had that power ONLY through their own efforts but you are so right, they could not have done it without an incredibly strong fan base. We are important and I will use that motivation to step out and be vocal even more. Thank you so much. |

Aidan made this ablum cover using my picture. I would love for Adam to see it.  I knew it was your picture (one of my favorites ever btw), but I didn't know it was Aidan who made this cover. I hope you tweeted it to Adam (not that it guarantees anything, but doesn't hurt to try  . |

I haven't seen calls for "activity" either, but I don't have Twitter myself (I just sometimes read other people's twitters online). All the responses to that "apology" blog were beautiful, I thought, but I still felt ticked off about it, so I vented here at Atop. (I did and do suspect homophobia - sorry, I do - based only on the fact that he seemed to feel it okay to tweet what he did in response to a FF request when he's never even HEARD Adam sing. So, why was he compellled? But, ultimately, that's for him to think about.) Adam's tweets about the designer are interesting to me. I thought - oh, good, I actually disagree with Adam (I'm not a mindless, slobbering fan, after all). But, then, I realized (and I hesitate to admit this) - after long, long resistance, I recently added two Chris Brown songs to my iPod. I just really, really, really like the songs. And then there's the airline thing - they're all different situations, I think, but they all go along a similar theme, too. I've always thought one of the most interesting things is when people change their minds about something related to values (for lack of a better a word) - the reasoning, the story, behind that. My apologies, I was just reading this thread, and I think people were just brainstorming/thinking aloud rather than actually planning to further pursue this topic. You are right that we don't know why he felt so strongly about Adam. I had a long chat with another fan about the Galliano issue the other day as we were both feeling conflicted. One thing I realized is that I do often separate the artwork from the individual artist, I consider art to have a life of it's own. Though it can be tainted/flawed by the artist's prejudices, and of course doesn't exist in a vacuum, people's response to it is in part a response to the environment in which it is created. I realized that two of the artists whose work has had a very strong influence on me personally (and the history of Western Art as a whole) and can be seen as intensely spiritual and uplifting, were horrible human beings in many ways. Caravaggio was notorious for violent brawling, wounded a police officer, a knight, and eventual killed a young man over a tennis game and had to run from the law and go into exile. Bernini was no better. His mistress, the wife of one of his assistants, was having an affair with his brother. When Bernini discovered this he attempted to kill his brother using an iron crowbar, and sent a hired thug to disfigure the face of his mistress with a razor. Would I 'forgive' either of these artists for their actions? Probably not. Do I think that there was a loss to the world when they died/could no longer create? Yes. Wagner wrote great music and was an anti-semite..I do believe,I may be wrong, that his music was recently played in Israel.. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I am Jewish and felt a twinge at what Adam said,but I tend to think the remark he made was out of context and I refuse to make a big deal out of it. Adam is proud of being born both Jewish and gay.. Who could ask for more than a person who accepts himself and has a forgiving nature towards others. I just love ADAM unconditionally. |

Ummmm, not Doris. Peggy, some. Think more Billie Holliday, Ella Fitzgerald, Julie London, Sarah Vaughn. Usually jazz/blues ballad, with lyrics about a love lost, an unrequited love, a scorned lover, but can refer to any emotional jazz/blues ballad. Modern torch singers include Norah Jones and Diana Krall. A modern torch song might be "I Can't Make You Love Me", so we know Adam can sing a torch song! Thanks, cassie! Billy Holliday and Ella F I can do... Norah Jones? Not sure... And even tho' Diana Krall is a fellow Canuck, I don't like her singing at all. DNW.  |
