It feels terribly annoying that the media in USA refers to Sauli as *a beau* .. as if he had no value at all but is just a playmate for Adam. Why do they underestimate Adam's inteligence so much? .. Is Adam considered some kind of a stupid person in USA??..To live with a beau???.. crap!! ok.. in Europe it means a boy toy:))) Awwww..... I love the word "beau"! To me its one of those sweetly old-fashioned, repectable terms used to describe an obvious significant other even if one isn't [yet] engaged or married. I always think of Laura Ingalls and Alanzo Wilder from the Little House on the Prairie books when I hear it. [grin] Or sometimes the Vanderbilts. I think its one of the nicest terms that could be used to describe each of them, as IMO "beau" has a more serious connotation than the sometime shlocky "boyfriend". More like "novio" in Spanish. Kinda disappointed it doesn't hold the same meaning in other parts of the world. :-/ Well I know the UK has mixed feelings about being part of Europe :  : but beau doesn't have any bad connotations that I have heard. |

Did anyone see it? Came by absolutely accidentally in one of the comments on the article in 'The Hollywood reporter' (if I remember correctly, don't know what possessed me to read it): it was said something about the photos of Adam and Sauli arrested and there was a link - pqrnews.com/News/former-american-idol-adam-lambert-arrested-in-finland-photo/ - but I can't open the photos itself :-( |

Well see thats the problem. You and I see it as two guys "communicating" with each other and others (mostly in the media) immediately see it as domestic violence, where one of them is the abuser and the other the victim. In terms of the media, I'm thankful we are going into the holiday. For me, the difference is that these two guys are in a relationship together. Regardless of what kind of physical contact there was, it seems what is certain is that they were both upset. I'd feel bad about that even if it was just a verbal thing, and the fact that it got physical in some way is unfortunate, at the very least. I see a distinct difference in guys (friends/relatives/whatever) rough-housing or mock-wrestling or even getting into a minor physical altercation, and 2 guys in a relationship whose disagreement devolves into the physical. And for the record, I'm definitely not casting either one of them as the "aggessor" or "victim," since we have no idea how it went down. This, personally I (and my husband) can't relate to the silver lining/street cred/boys will be boys argument because they are in a relationship, so it's a completely different category in our minds for both of them. I'm kind of mostly watching from the sidelines, self-censoring, and waiting for this too to pass. I do think that though it's not fair and it's probably the last thing they want to do, if they decide to share a tiny bit more in the next few days and weeks (pics together, mentions of each other, just being out and about in public together) it could be a positive thing. |

Those Tsaikka glasses bring so many memories to mind . You all here know, we Finns are happy to help with the language as well as we can, we are not perfect but you are very understanding with our mistakes . |

And for the record, I'm definitely not casting either one of them as the "aggessor" or "victim," since we have no idea how it went down. Sibling feuds are not always what I would call rough housing. I've seen brothers take serious swipes at each other. I guess my beef in this entire 'concept' is that we are not talking about a man vs a woman, where there is a distinct difference in strength and ability to kick some serious ass. Here we are talking about 2 men that could no doubt give as good as they get, if it came to a few blows. How would the discussion be different if it was 2 women taking a punch or two at each other. Would this be spun the same way? Or would it just be called a cat fight? I don't condone people fighting, but IMO there is a blurry line between taking a swing or two at each other to make a point and getting into a read knock out, drag out fight. Men are silly sometimes in the way they think.. I'm sure my husband thinks the same thing about us gals. |
