GOING TO NEW YORK CITY!!!

Yes, I'm going to NEW YORK on February 11th and staying through to the 14th!!

My incredibly lucky son who seems to have been born under a special star and has a few horseshoes up his you know what has won TWO TICKETS TO SEE ADAM LAMBERT IN CONCERT IN NEW YORK on February 12th at the Highline Ballroom!!!!!

So we couldn't turn down this opportunity, there were only 300 pairs of tickets available, only people who are attending are WINNERS of these tickets, no tickets are for sale. Small intimate venue - aren't you jealous!!! LOL!!!

So we leave on the 11th - it is going to be a long trip, 2504 miles and with the stop over and transfer of planes in Seattle the trip will take 11 hours, getting us into NYC just after midnight.

Then on the 12th we will be able to do some shopping and sightseeing as the concert isn't until 8pm, doors open at 7pm.

Saturday the 13th will be for shopping, sightseeing, getting to know the city.

We have to leave early in the morning on the 14th, again, a very long trip, around 12 hours this time because of another stop over and wait in Seattle.

I can't believe I'm going to NYC!!! I've wanted to go all my life, never thought it would happen. And also going to an Adam Lambert concert in a small venue with only 600 people!! Once in a lifetime opportunity!!!

Staying at the Muse hotel in midtown Manhattan, it's a very nice, modern 4 star hotel.

SO EXCITED!!!!

I truly believe that 2010 is going to be my year. 2009 was a total write off - but things are different this year! New York in February, Seattle for the MUSE concert in April, feeling good, think I'm looking pretty good, business is good, LIFE is GOOD!!!

I forgot my password - just got it reset today

I hate passwords. Everything seems to need a different sort of password, some need to be 6 characters, some 8, some need letters and numbers, some need symbols.

Anything with more than 6 characters, symbols or numbers I will automatically forget.

I know passwords are useful, as a person who's been hacked before because my password was to easy to guess I had to start making more difficult to guess passwords. Problem is that they are too difficult for me to remember. Lolz.

I might start blogging again. I don't think I need to do an Adam blog any more. Adam is all over the web, so easy to find info on him, mine is just another one of many, and others have more time to update properly. So if I add to this blog it will be just my thoughts and eccentricities. And about fashion and makeup - my passions!

I know I promised a makeup tutorial. Except I don't know how to use my new video camera, we have very bad lighting here in winter so it is not easy to see what I'm doing. Plus I don't know how to download the movies...so I've let that go for now. Sorry.

Everything here is going good. Business is slow, but that is to be expected this time of year.

The boy and I are going to see MUSE in Seattle April 2nd. Should be a great time.
He actually won tickets to see ADAM and the others in NYC February 12th - but we still haven't heard back as to if the tickets are valid or not since we live in Canada - most likely not, if they are valid we're going to NYC!!! If not...well, it was a nice dream - maybe another time. Hopefully they let us know before flights get too expensive, if you don't book ahead it is outrageously costly.

The boy is also into fashion even more than before - if that is possible. He's into makeup now too, I bought him his own kit - all MAC products. He looks fantastic.

Here's a few pictures of him.




And one of me, taken on NYE - I took it myself so that's why my shoulder is weird in the photo.

Natural Beauty

Makeup Tutorials Coming after Dec 10th

I'm going to Seattle next weekend and after that will be working on making the makeup tutorials. I will be doing SMOKEY EYES, GLAM EYES, FOUNDATION & CONTOURING, ALL-DAY LIPSTICK and VOLUMIZING HAIR. Figured I better get these up before Christmas! Also I have a new tip to take 10 years off your look. Stumbled upon it accidentally. I didn't notice but my son and all my staff commented that I looked instantly 10 years younger - so I guess it works! If there are any other beauty or fashion questions you have please let me know. No one that reads this has a problem with weight (except for me!) so we won't need to talk about how to look slimmer, but anything else, if I don't know it I'll find out! I spent 15 years in the fashion industry (modeling and working for model agencies) in my teens & 20's so I do have some good tips!

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME on ELLEN.

BEAUTIFUL. EMOTIONAL. PERFECTION.



And the colors match my blog colors. Random, I know. Lol. (still swooning over Adam's performance!)

ADAM ON ELLEN TODAY - DECEMBER 1 2009

Can't WAIT to see him on Ellen! She's so cool, I'm sure it's going to be a great show!!! Not sure what time it's on in other places, but for me it airs at 11am.



Marisa Miller, Victoria's Secret Model, will also be on - love her too! She's going to be wearing a $1,000.000.00 diamond bra!

Adam is ONE OF THE MOST FASCINATING PEOPLE of 2009 (WE KNEW THAT - KUDOS TO B.W. FOR "GETTING HIM" !!!

But but but...its on ABC?!?!?!?

Ok, so Adam isn't worthy of being on GMA, but when one of ABC's POWERFUL ONES (Barbara has got to have a lot of power at ABC, she's an ICON in America!) says that Adam is on...then Adam is on!

Barbara defended Adam on THE VIEW (as did Whoopi Goldberg) when people (especially the nutjob known as Elisabeth Hasselback) were dumping on him. Barbara and Whoopi LOVE Adam - yep, the smart ones do!!!!

For SHAME, ABC!!!!

ABC hosts Chris Brown after canceling Adam Lambert!


Apparently domestic violence is okay with ABC, but a gay kiss? No way.
Just days after canceling Adam Lambert's scheduled appearance on Good Morning America, the ABC show announced it will host Chris Brown for an interview and performance next week.

ABC canceled Lambert's interview following his performance at the American Music Awards last weekend. The network said it was uncomfortable with Lambert's performance, which featured a gay kiss and some face/body grinding with a male backup dancer.

Brown was recently convicted of assaulting his then-girlfriend, singer Rihanna, in an attack earlier this year. He was sentenced to five years of probation and 1,400 hours of community service.

An ABC rep tried to deflect criticism, saying that Brown was booked before Lambert's AMA performance. But really -- that's a weak excuse. An early booking didn't stop them from canceling on Lambert. ABC should step up and admit what was really at play when they ditched Lambert: homophobia.

My response to ABC - and all the narrow minded ignorant people in this world:

If you find the song offensive just comment and I will remove it. I forget sometimes that things that I find humorous may be offensive to others, so if I have offended by posting this please let me know, my intention is not to offend.

NY Times, CNN, others DEFENDING Adam Lambert :-)

TONS of prominent media publications are singing Adam's praises and agreeing that there is a double standard whereby things that are titillating and permitted by straight men or straight/bi females are accepted, yet the same thing done by a gay man is horrendous, obscene and outrageous.

Thankfully most people in the media are intelligent enough to realize that ABC made a very stupid move by banning Adam from GMA and possibly even the network (yeah, can you believe it!?!!?) for doing things that they have others doing all the time. ABC airs a show called Cougar Town in which Courtney Cox performs fellatio on her son's friend. Of course the act is not shown, but she states what she's about to do - and just as she gets started on the boy her son is shown walking in on it. But...THAT'S OK - THAT'S HOT - and Adam kissing a guy and thrusting for a second his clothed lower belly (it was NOT his groin, I have gifs - of course I do - you know how I love my gifs!) into a dancer's face is disgusting and worthy of banning and condemnation.

Here are the NYT and CNN articles:

TWO PERFORMANCE VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MUSIC AGAIN (from the CBS Early Show November 25 2009)



WHATAYA WANT FROM ME (from the David Letterman Show November 25 2009)

DON'TCHA FORGET!!!

Wednesday November 25th Adam will be on THE EARLY SHOW on CBS. Not sure what time it airs, I'm assuming "early" - lol! He'll be performing Whataya Want From Me and being interviewed. Kudos to CBS for not being too "skerd" to have Adam on. ABC missed their chance to mega ratings, CBS is gonna clean up!


Wednesday November 25th Adam and his band are on LATE NIGHT WITH DAVID LETTERMAN - on CBS - airing sometime late at night - lol! Singing TWO songs and being interviewed. This is gonna be GREAT!!!

FYE VIDEO IS HERE!!!!

And it's HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!

The AMA's - COULD YOU HANDLE WHAT HE WAS 'BOUT TO DO? IT WAS FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT!!!

Can we say "CONTROVERSIAL"?????

We knew Adam wasn't going to be playing it safe, that he was gonna have leather and chains, that he was gonna entertain us with an OTT performance, but MAN oh MAN did he ever pull out all the stops!!!

I thought it was awesome. The sound quality was crap, BUT...at least Adam performed it live and real, not like so many others who lip-sync or have their voices worked through the Auto-Tune. Nope, Adam was loud and proud and real - and a bit pitchy, but hey, it's hard to sing when you're dragging around men on leashes, grabbing people's heads and body parts, tripping on a scaffold and doing an impromptu Ninja roll and planting a wet one on the keyboard player! LOL!

Yes, he did trip. It wasn't supposed to happen, but he pulled himself out of it like a pro.

Yes, he did grab a blindfolded dancer and do a crotch - to - face gyrate.

Yes, he did fondle the pole dancer's nether regions.

Yes, he did plant one on Tommy Joe, his STRAIGHT keyboardist/bass player - just for the heck of it!

WILD? Oh yeah. CRAZY? Hell yeah. OVER THE TOP AND BACK AGAIN? Frick yeah.

That's Rock & Roll, baby!

(and if you don't agree with me that's cool too, it's not for everyone, if you were offended Adam didn't mean to offend (he said this in an interview after the performance) and everyone has a right to their opinion.)

Want pictures????















The "finger" was NOT directed towards the audience or his fans, it was mainly directed to Aaron Hicklin, editor of OUT magazine who was whining after Adam did their interview and cover about how Adam is being controlled by his management and not able to make his own decisions and is a pawn in the AI game. Hah - showed that doofus that there wasn't a shred of truth to THAT bit of BS! It was not shown on TV, Adam only did that after the cameras were off.

And then, ABC, who broadcasts the AMA's, abruptly canceled Adam's Wednesday performance on GMA. Yes, the show was racy, but he performed at nearly 11pm - not during the family broadcast hours. And Janet Jackson, Lady Gaga and JLo did a lot of thrusting and crotch grabbing - yet that was ok. In previous years when Madonna passionately kissed Brittney that was ok. When MJ grabbed himself and practically jerked off on stage that was ok. Double standard? Oh yeah.

I'm pretty passionate about people being able to do their own thing without being banned, censored or blocked as long as what "their thing" was is not harmful to anyone. What ABC did to Adam when they abruptly canceled his appearance on GMA was wrong. Everyone is saying it was wrong. Even conservatives like Bill O'Reiley and the Parent's Television Council agree that it was WRONG to ban Adam from GMA. He didn't purposely go out to offend anyone, he was just being PASSIONATE and HAVING FUN with his performance. ABC didn't even bother to talk to Adam, his fans or THE PUBLIC before banning him and canceling his performance, he was just informed that he was canceled. And that he was unsuitable. That they were afraid that he might do something offensive on morning television. They feel he's a loose cannon and a trouble maker. I wanna cry. For real.

Adam takes a LOT of abuse, has for most of his life, about being different. Why are some people so gawd damned afraid of anyone who's different? Why do people who don't fit the mold of "average" get scorned? Ya know, when a person gets blasted over and over again for not fitting into the box that they're supposed to be in it sometimes makes them want to stand up for themselves a bit. To say "hey, I'm still a human being, I'm still valid, I still matter, I still count - and damn it, I'm a nice person if you'd just give me a blasted chance.

Thank god CBS saw through everything and said "hey, we know you're different, but we LIKE different - we ACCEPT you - welcome aboard - we WANT you!

That made me feel better.

End of rant. I haven't ranted in a couple of months. Sometimes it feels good to get things out. Yeah, I'm different too. I don't fit in the box. LOL.

FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE NOW!

MASTER PLAN
You run away from everything that you fear
So afraid, don't wanna be a part of it
You see the fake in everything that is real
You hate the paradox, you put us in a box

We don't define what makes us right or wrong
Waste of time, no we're just living it
I wanna seize you, touch you one on one
Don't stop until we're done, we've only just begun

We are the face of a new generation
We are the ones who have no reservation
Don't give a damn 'bout your cold calculation
Welcome to the master plan
Don't care if you understand
Don't care if you understand
Welcome to the master plan

Your skin is burnin' at the sight of me
Your mask can't hide what you're thinking
Don't ask, don't tell, just take what you need
I'm an open book, so go on and take a look

We are the face of a new generation
We are the ones who have no reservation
Don't give a damn 'bout your cold calculation
Welcome to the master plan
Don't care if you understand
Don't care if you understand
Welcome to the master plan

There's you, there's me, I feel your energy
I hope you'll see
Things ain't what they used to be
Look at the face
Look at the face

We are the face of a new generation
We are the ones who have no reservation
Don't give a damn 'bout your cold calculation
Welcome to the master plan
Don't care if you understand
Don't care if you understand
Welcome to the master plan
Don't care if you under
Welcome to the master plan
Don't care if you understand


WHATAYA WANT FROM ME?
Hey, slow it down
Whataya want from me?
Whataya want from me?
Yeah, I'm afraid
Whataya want from me?
Whataya want from me?
There might have been a time
When I would give myself away
Oh once upon a time
I didn't give a damn
But now, here we are
So whataya want from me?
Whataya want from me?

Just don't give up, I'm working it out
Please don't give in, I won't let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around, hey
Whataya want from me?
Whataya want from me?
Whataya want from me?

There, it's plain to see
That baby you're beautiful
And there's nothing wrong with you
It's me, I'm a freak
But thanks for loving me,
'cause you're doing it perfectly
And there might have been a time
When I would have let you slip away
I wouldn't even try
But I think you could save my life

Just don't give up, I'm working it out
Please don't give in, I won't let you down
It messed me up, need a second to breathe
Just keep coming around, hey
Whataya want from me? Whataya want from me?
Whataya want from me? Whataya want from me?
Whataya want from me?

Just don't give up on me
I won't let you down
No, I won't ya let ya down

LOVING THIS!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

REVIEW of the album FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT

Review: Adam Lambert's 'For Your Entertainment' glams it up greatly

Adam Graham / Detroit News Pop Music Writer

What, you expected subtlety?
Adam Lambert's "For Your Entertainment" is every bit the boffo, glam-rock, disco-pop space oddity you'd expect from the "American Idol" standout. It's a bold, assured, boot-stomping romp, and it's so over-the-top it should come packaged in a mirror ball.

For his fans, this won't come as a surprise. Lambert hit the "American Idol" stage earlier this year like a transplant from the planet Glampire: David Bowie funneled through Edward Cullen. Over the course of the show, he proved to be the most exciting "Idol" contestant in years, with a fearlessness stemming from years of stage experience and a shocking caterwaul that could strip the paint off walls.

He also demonstrated his dexterity across a number of genres, whether vamping through Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" or quietly emoting in a beautiful rendition of Smokey Robinson's "The Tracks of My Tears." In what may have been his signature performance, he gave a psycho-sexual, Middle Eastern-influenced reading of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" that would have had the Man in Black either rolling in his grave or rolling with laughter.

He brings that same go-for-broke spirit to "For Your Entertainment," which despite sharing a name with a national chain of record stores, proves to be an apropos summation of Lambert's M.O. "Let me entertain you 'til you scraaaaay-eeeee-aaaaaaayyy-eeeeeee-aaaYYYYYYY-eeeeeee-AAAYYYYMM!" he bellows on the title track, somehow cramming every musical note into one banshee wail.

If the goal is to entertain, he succeeds, as there's rarely a dull moment on "FYE." Some moments are less effective than others -- "Aftermath" is the kind of "keep pushing on" claptrap every "Idol" album seems to be saddled with, and the album is frontloaded with one too many Gary Glitter clones -- but no one can accuse Lambert of holding back.

Credit Team Lambert for pairing him with a host of top-notch, like-minded collaborators, from Lady Gaga (who wrote the daring "Fever") and Pink (who lent a hand to "Whataya Want from Me") to the Darkness' Justin Hawkins (whose proficiency for arena rock cheese is slathered over opener "Music Again") and interstellar English rockers Muse (lead singer Matthew Bellamy wrote "Soaked").
A-list hitmakers Dr. Luke (the pulsating title track), Linda Perry (the moody, spacey "A Loaded Smile") and Max Martin (potential single "If I Had You") weigh in, as well. And Weezer's Rivers Cuomo proves an unlikely partner-in-crime on the joyful "Pick U Up," a bouncy club-rocker with walls of trickling synths laid underneath the fist-pumping chorus.

Lambert is a pot-stirrer -- the fetching spaceboy album cover is evidence of that -- and the album has an in-your-face, unapologetic sexuality. Plenty can be read into lines such as "Open your mouth and open it wide: Let the freedom begin" ("Strut"). "Fever," meanwhile, opens with, "there he goes, my baby walks so slow, sexual tic-tac-toe," which is bound to raise an eyebrow or two from "Idol's" more conservative fan base.

Lambert's greatest asset is, of course, his crazy vocal range, which can soar to dizzying heights but easily lends itself to overkill.
On the album, he displays control over his voice that he didn't on "Idol," and he doesn't over-rely on histrionics. He stays reigned in at times (such as on the electronic outer space ballad "Broken Open") and lets it go when need be.
"FYE" also sparkles with a welcome sense of humor: "My baby clothes made of leather and lace," Lambert sings amid the wild rumpus of "Sure Fire Winners," the best and most unhinged of the album's T. Rex-style glam throwdowns. And he lets out a gleeful laugh at the close of "Pick U Up," a refreshing reminder that yes, this is all meant to be fun.

It goes without saying that "For Your Entertainment" is the most poised debut from any "Idol" to date. Lambert has a vision and has successfully honed a sound that pays homage to his heroes while carving a niche for himself.

More than anything, "For Your Entertainment" bares the stamp of a born entertainer. So sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

PREVIEWS OF 5 SONGS FROM "FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT"!

Now you can preview 5 of Adam's new songs!!!

These clips are a bit choppy, they start in the middle and then stop and restart somewhere else in the song, but they do give a taste of what the songs are like.

My favorite of these so far is SLEEPWALKER. Maybe if I listen a bit more I'd have a different favorite, but after 2 listens I'm going with Sleepwalker.

What do you think?
