If I really wanted to talk about an issue that bothers me, I'd bring up the fact that Adam announced publicly that the backups singers' nickname is the Vajayjays. But I don't want to add more dissension to the board today, and I'm hoping that introduction was a one-time thing. But fair warning to other board members, if he mentions it on stage again, then I'm gonna go OFF!  yeah, Misha, this really bugged me too, but I haven't mentioned it. I am afraid to say that Adam will use this constantly, as much as he introduced Tommy as "Pretty Kitty". I think he thinks it is cute and funny, and apparently the Diva's don't mind. I do, and think it is demeaning, but I am not them. Unless there is a twitter outcry that Adam catches wind of, I'm afraid we will be stuck with it for the tour. Yeah, it's a big hell to the no for me. I don't think I'm a prude. And perhaps I'm a hypocrite because I enjoy a little (certainly the wrong word in relation to Adam) penis talk and photos from time to time. I also think the female body is beautiful. However, I find it degrading to verbally reduce women to a body part on a public stage, especially black women, who are historically sexualized--not to make it a race thing, because I'd be upset no matter who the women were. I'd feel the same way if he called his all-male dancers the Peen. It ain't cute. I think it's tacky and demeaning. I understand where the Vajayjay name may have originated from, given that the singers add another shot of estrogen to the group, and maybe it works in a private rehearsal room. Maybe the ladies even came up with the name, I don't know. But it's a bigger issue than just them and impacts more than just them when he's announcing it on a public stage in front of thousands. If Keisha or Octavia now, or ever, feel uncomfortable with that moniker I hope they know they can approach Adam about it or just ask him to call them by their names instead and not fear that he'd be bothered. I don't think he means to objectify them and I think he'd be the last person to ever take offensive at that request! |

To those of you who encouraged me to custom frame my Adam-walks-on-water poster: A million thanks. I'll admit once I decided to take the plunge I went a little crazy. But not too much. Got double custom mats, the inner one pure white, and the outer a blue that matches the sleeves of his shirt. Used a plain black narrow frame to not pull focus from the print. Got the frame today, put the print in, and it is breathtaking. The only drawback? Now i want to repaint the living room to match that glowing sunset orange/yellow/pink sky. Where is that throwing-away-money miley when I need one? Can you post a pic of the finished product, cassie? I would love to see how the whole thing came out.Thanks  |

I agree, Adam means no disrespect towards Keisha and Octavia. But the nickname cheapens both them and him.

www.pressparty.com/pg/newsdesk/administrator/view/45926/Album Release Gets Adam Lambert Fans in the Party Mood As mid-May approaches, Adam Lambert’s devoted fans around the world are busy organising listening parties to celebrate the release of the star’s long-awaited second album, 'Trespassing'. Fans in the San Francisco area, for example, will be gathering on 15 May (the official US release date) at The Deco Lounge; for more information visit LAMBERTLUST blog. Although UK fans will have to wait until July 2 for the official release of the CD in their territory, they too will be holding a Trespassing listening party on Saturday May 19, almost as soon as the music becomes available to the rest of the planet. The 'UK Trespassing Listening Party' is in central London and is a private event, but open to all fans who register their interest (see below). Starting at 6pm, entry is free, and drinks can be bought from the bar. Fans can come along to listen to the album, which will be playing on a loop, meet other fans and, if they wish, dance, join in with some fun games and quizzes, and maybe even win some prizes. If you would like to attend the 'UK Trespassing Listening Party', please contact the official organisers via Facebook , here or @jeanjenie or @lambritsuk on Twitter. Details of the venue and how to find it will be sent to everyone attending. ... I heard that a bunch of "really famous entertainment industry people" in UK are wanting to attend thisUK party, hope they fall head over heels for Adam, and follow suit with massive air play of Trespassing! A girl can dream big.......................... |
