Here is an indirect way to help Adam. It has been very difficult for mainstream brands to use Gay spokesmodels because the US Christian Right (usually led by the AFA) starts boycotts of any company who "promotes gay lifestyles". J C Penny selected Ellen to be their new spokesmodel. The AFA (American Family Association) has announced a boycott of Penny unless they back down. J C Penny has not backed down. If the J C Penney support Ellen as a spokesperson results in an sales increase (meaning that people fight against this loud, unrepresentative minority of haters), it will make it easier for Adam to get bigger sponsorships. What Adam did on radio -- prove that it is OK to play a gay artist on US radio and the audience will not flee. Ellen is doing in a mainstream category. Note: There are some successful LGBT spokesmodels in the US -- but they are in the "gay ghetto" of fashion and style. Not the big consumer products or service sector brands. So the punchline -- if you need a plaid shirts (  ) or something else that J C Penny sells -- buy it there and tell Penny that you support Ellen.....more info from Time.com: newsfeed.time.com/2012/02/03/ellen-degeneres-fans-fight-anti-gay-group-over-jcpenney-gig/ >>> END OF MY J C Penny COMMERCIAL <<< >>> BACK TO READING ALL THE GREAT ADAM NEWS <<< I love this idea from Q3 - and may I offer a connected idea. I have mentioned my volunteer work with 1n10 - and there are so many of Adam's fans on board supporting the 1n10 youth. And Adam follows 1n10. 1n10 sponsors one of a handful of GLBTQ youth camps that exist in the world each summer. The stories from this camp would move all of us to tears. And the youth are from all over the US, and also some globally (mostly Canada and Mexico as I recall from last year). And this is the most diverse group of kids, culturally - many of whom are homeless or without a real support system. I could ask Kado at 1n10 the kinds of camp related wear that might be needed. I think J.C. Penney would have bargins on that type of clothing all the time. Even the basics - these kids have very little. If anyone is interested please DM me. May I also say, the hardest thing for me to do is "ask others" to help. I have always been a person who makes things happen but in a quiet way where people typically have asked me later "How did I end up being committed to this?" So please know that I hate being so open about asking for support - I just keep the thought in front of me that all these little gestures made by the Adam fans are saving lives - or if not lives, the gestures are helping grow confidence and a sense that the community cares in some pretty special youth (who love Adam - after all, they each have his CDs :-) _ If anyone is interested, let me know and we can coordinate with Kado. And then do everything else that Q3 said to do about communicating the "why" to J.C. Penneys. Thank you Q3 for your consistently great ideas. |

Vevo views for BTIKM video up to 414,342 views. Do they update this number daily or more often? Curious.

mycharitywater.org/p/campaign?campaign_id=22963Hey Guys- Please remember Adam's birthday charity request. The gifting is now at $37,560 going towards his goal of $100,000. Fingers crossed that we make that worthy goal. 8-) Speaking of spokespersons- Ellen is already a spokesperson for a major makeup company - Covergirl, I think. I see her ads on tv all the time. She is so likeable and cute in them. Was there any backlash against this ad campaign? ETA- Trespassing - #57 on Amazon with a green arrow! YES!

Ok, you can stay. Linda... this is the question from the other guy MikeyCyrusMikey Robinson @michaelcragg Are you now a 'Glambert'? How was it? and this is his answer MichaelCraggMichael Cragg @mikeycyrus Not a fully fledged Glambert (they seem a bit, you know...), but it was good. His voice is ridiculous. MichaelCraggMichael Cragg My favourite bit of tonight's Adam Lambert showcase was when he sung the line "there's no BS in my bag". There is some in mine however. 20 hours ago |

MichaelCraggMichael Cragg Oh dear “@nmemagazine: Madonna: 'My fans should work all year to come and see me play live' bit.ly/xRhvzS”If I ran into Adam Lambert outside of a lift I'd still be there trying to get my tongue loose from the doors. Oh, Madge. Such a diva. I saw her briefly on ET this morning, and she clearly demanded the vaseline on the lens treatment (or they volunteered it, in all fairness) because she was so blurry I went to clean my glasses and discovered they were just fine. I managed to stay caught up yesterday, and let me tell you, as a newbie here, I remain in utter awe of your sleuthing skills, dedication, and sheer determination. Shee-it, y'all are SOMETHING. Thank you! ETA: It's funny...Mr. Easter and I were just talking about JCP and Ellen yesterday and the fact that they have publicly announced their support for her. We agreed that we would now shop there, which we haven't done in years, just because of this. |
