This is maybe going to a controversial post.... I am sorry beforhand. I have been Adam's fan for only half a year but I've tried to watch as much videos and read as much articles about him as I could....I love his voice and his singing and lot of his songs, I love his showmanship... I love his interviews - he is so incredibly well spoken and charming and funny... Not gonna lie I also love the way he looks and that he does not seem to take himself too seriously...Of course there are things I don't agree with him on and couple of songs I don't like but that is normal... But there is one thing I have a very hard time to accept and that is I feel like he does not seem to have a big compassion for animals... him wearing real fur, having fur rug and having parts of animals like decoration, doing the zebra shoot, filming animals who are still alive being grilled etc... Things like this are usually big turnoff for me, I always try not to think about this with Adam because I just really really love that guy and then I alwasy remember and feel sad... I have five cats, I am a big animal lover and hate when animals are used for fashion or decoration. And it's difficult for me knowing that a guy I adore have a very different view on this. Maybe I am too dramatic but it's sensitive topic for me. I get what you're saying! And I often wondered about that myself. Wearing real fur is kind of unsettling for me too. And doing it in public and posting about it is kind of strange. BUT: Adam's instagram with adressing the people eating meat and complaining about him wearing fur is right also. He is wearing the fur of an animal which is being killed for its meat. So his point makes kinda sense too. This whole topic is a very difficult one. Animals only bred for their fur living in horrible conditions is an absolute nogo for me. But I admit that I eat meat, not much because I am a flexetarian, but I do. And I own leathershoes. For me it goes like this, if a animal is killed for its meat anyway it's legit to use its skin. But Adam's post leaves me nevertheless puzzled why he wears it although he knows that he will inevitabely get flack for doing so

Interesting perspective from someone who attended the show in Boston.. Adam Lambert & The Authenticity of Queer Identity (Concert Review)
So I wanted to write a review of the Adam Lambert concert tonight at the House of Blues in Boston, but it being me, I can’t merely write about Adam Lambert without writing about American culture, identity, the music industry, David Bowie, subcultures, queerness, and capitalism. Because I couldn’t talk about the songs or the performance without writing about the context in which they’re being presented, and I had to try to answer the question of why such a fantastic concert is being seen by so few people in the United States. More.. blog.ceciliatan.com/archives/2776That's really a wonderful, interesting and detailed review... And I actually share a lot of the thoughts here. Definitely worth a read

Awwwww - thank you all so very much for your kind words! As a designer or photographer you often don't have the slightest idea if anyone will like the art you create in your little isolated bubble, your workroom. You only can design what you love and what moves you. But it's such a wonderful feeling and a reward if others like it too! And nic, I so loved your beautiful words. And of course I'll edit the pics you'll take in Cologne. This concert will be epic on so many levels

I really love this costume, the only thing that looks odd about it, are the shoes. The harsh black just doesn't fit... maybe he'll realize it and change. And if not, we always can be thankful that we don't stan a WGWG - it's so much more fun stanning this crazy and glittery alien from planet fierce
