So, Q3, you're opening that exclusive little bistro when? You have the combined talents of 101 women! and the wine choices, and running the board, and starting a new job requiring a 3-way move. ADAMAZING!!! Perhaps sharing that menu might get you an invite to a certain aerie in Hollywood? I foolishly opened up a restaurant once -- one of the biggest financial mistakes of my life. (I've made a lot of mistakes, I have learned a lot about what not to do!) It taught me the "3 Laws of Life". 1. Never start a land war in Asia. 2. Never open a restaurant. 3. Reread rule 2. NEVER OPEN A RESTAURANT. I still do some catering for causes I care about -- a few times a year. I also do "dinner raves" for 50- to 100- people -- a one-night only event with a theme. Just because I love to cook. Cooking was my first love and my one constant passion. I also love dinner parties -- and every now and then everything works. Last night's dinner was close to perfect --- simple food, interesting guests, great wines and a leisurely pace. If I ever got a chance to cook for Adam (Universe are you listening?), I wonder what I would make? It would need to be something fantastic, yet not overdone. What an interesting question. Whatever else, I know that chocolate, red wine and gold leaf would need to be involved. Oh, so sorry about the tragic foray into being a restaurateur, Q3. :( Though your story reminds me of a running joke my brother-in-law and I have – we always say that one day we're going to open a restaurant and call it Used-to-Bes, because there are always certain buildings (usually in what we refer to as "cursed" that will turn over and over regardless of what goes in there). When you tell people about it, you say, "Have you tried Steve's place? You know, it used-to-be Joe's Fish Shack and before that, it was Dave's Italian Bistro?" And the thing is, it's not necessarily a location that leads to the curse; there can be another very successful restaurant right next door. |

He advertises for a private chef and I get the job, with a little cottage in the grounds of his house! Q3 - I have had 2 restaurants and a catering business and I second your rule, "never open a restaurant" !! Now I just cook for myself and friends, eat and collect cook books ! I would be your assistant and do all the dishes just to be there! ;D |

Am I misunderstanding that we're thinking that these two photos are of the same guy? Did he have a nose job? I dunno.   |

YouTube video by @galechester: ADAM LAMBERT Is Our Hero 2012! Via @glamstarky & @adamlambertruua (RussianUkrainianFans): We have no idea what they are saying but we agree that ADAM LAMBERT is our hero! Made via iHero2012.com with the help of @glamstarky & Tweeted/Shared by @adamlambertruua (RussianUkrainianFans). youtu.be/YGLRezr5eWw English Translation Thanks to @adamlambertruua: "Do you hear me? At such times, we must ask ourselves some important questions. How can you, me, our friends and children really trust anything, that we can see on TV and hear on the radio? Is... this true? How do we know that our decisions are truly our own? Can we count on the fact that even a small voice will be heard and not harassed into silence? I can tell you how. There is a personality, which we are grateful for all that. We can thank this person for providing us with new perspectives. We can thank that person for giving us the opportunity to choose. This person gives us an alternative to the uniformity and short-term thinking. We owe this person for turning an ordinary day into something special, a day when we rise from the sofa watching television, saying ‘I had changed my mind by myself’. Only one word adequately dignify that person - a Hero. 2012 is coming soon! Earth needs a Hero! I love this post!!! Seoulmate I love everything you post. animated your artwork is spectacular and I would be willing to buy a free calendar. I have a question? or two. The nye at the Upright caberet there was someone warbling really loud everytime Adam hit a high note. Do we Know who this was? I always thought it was Drake lol. Also, on AI when Adam sang Tracks of My Tears there was a guy sitting in the audience with Adam's family. He had on an "Olover" scarf. Do we know who he is. Thanks in advance for any answers to these perplexing questions. |

Am I misunderstanding that we're thinking that these two photos are of the same guy? Did he have a nose job? I dunno. The lighting and angle make his nose in the top pic look larger or the slight over-exposure of the bottom one fades out his nose (or perhaps he did have a nose job, who knows?), but it's the same guy. Look at the eyebrows, eyes, jawline and slightly cleft chin. You can also tell when his hair is short that it is curly. Also interesting: the body language with both of them is very close in both pictures. |

Just got another email from Amazon. Subject line: "Adam Lambert's New Album". So, they are still at it. Should I report this to someone in Adam's camp? Forward it to..... who? Also, do any of you know how to respond directly to Amazon about this deceptive advertising? Or, maybe I should just chill. Clicking on the link in the email took me to the page for the MP3 version of BFM, and, with all the promotion, it has soared all the way to #731 in MP3 albums. posted this in the news thread a while ago and I followed this direction and I don't think I ever get the email from Amazon again People seem to still be getting emails from Amazon about BFM. I don't know if this makes a difference or not, but Amazon seems to keep stats/info on everything. When you are logged on at Amazon they give you suggestions of things you might like - when I was at a music page they were suggesting Betray for Money so I clicked the "fix this recommendation" link and clicked on the not interested option. Since doing that, I have not received an email from Amazon about BFM. I don't know if it would help or not, but maybe if enough people do that, the automated Amazon stuff will stop thinking that if you like other Adam stuff you will like this item.
Read more: www.adamtopia.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=daily&thread=562&page=4#120942#ixzz1eprtjjEE You have to login to your account and recommendation Item's usually toward the bottom of the page when you're purposelly search for Adam Lambert.  Click on the "Fix this Recommendation"then Click not interested then close windows I even fixed my recommendation for JD This is what it looks like when I refress the page |
