Adam-LunchLA
Having wrapped up the overseas “We Are Glamily” tour, Adam and Glamily are back in LA for some well-deserved rest. Later this month, Adam will be in Miami Beach to headline their Gay Pride event. It seems to be the first of his “a-concert-a-month” series while he works on new music. Above we see Adam enjoying his downtime lunching with Sutan. Photo from Just Jared.
Enjoy the chat!

    Six livestreams and probably none will work! Won’t be around anyway. Will have to wait for the videos.

    That Kent guy is confused. It is not a lifetime achievement award.

    The Davidson/Valentini Award is named after Craig Davidson, GLAAD’s first executive director, and his partner Michael Valentini. The award is presented to an out LGBT media professional who has made a significant difference in promoting equality for the LGBT community.

    AL did you fix my links? TY

    Is anyone else excited about Adam recording for the Opening Gala of Chinese Idol. More and more exposure for him.

    I just heard back from Oksana’s niece:

    She will be missed, we loved her very very much. It was not fair to see her suffer, so she she is at peace now. I’m sure she will always be listening to Adam’s powerful voice, who knows maybe he will show up to her memorial this SundayWink..

    If you would like to make a donation in her name, it would be to the http://www.srfcure.org

    Scleroderma Research Foundation

    I think she would appreciate the help in finding a cure. Thank you for reaching out.
    I appreciate it.

    Oksana’s real name was Izabella. AL, or I can give you her real last name if need it to make a donation in her name.

    Her disease was scleroderma. It is just awful. She must have suffered more than any of us could imagine.

    Poor Oksana/Izabella. RIP

    There’s our answer! Kent thinks it’s himself!

  5. Kradamour says:

    Thanks, mils.

    eywflyer, would you be willing to collect funds to make a donation in our name?
    Or would we rather make individual donations?
    I like the idea of a donation from the blog. I would contribute to it.
    Or will make a separate donation if that is preferred by us.

    Adam mention.

    Amazing what a couple of glasses of champagne and some Queen + Adam do for my mood! Already sent an email to GLADD to volunteer.

  8. Kradamour says:

    On a shallower note, I love that Adam loves leopard.
    Chic
    It is my favorite animal print and I have TONS of it.
    Scarves, sweaters, tops, shoes, jackets, handbags…
    Smile

  9. Calgary says:

    Is anybody getting up for livestream from China?

  10. ultimathule says:

    Is it 7:00 a.m. tomorrow morning EDT, Calgary? Red Carpet 5:30 a.m. for Adam? And 4:00 a.m. for the beginning of the Red Carpet. Think I wrote that down right, but not sure.

  11. ultimathule says:

    Always loved Adam in that black hat, aely – once again, one of the few who could wear it well. Just gorgeous.

  12. Calgary says:

    Yes those are the times. It will be 1 am for me, so I don’t think I’ll be up for it. Hoping for all sorts of great comments from easter keeners!

  13. AL says:

    AL did you fix my links? TY

    Who me? Wink Whenever I see a broken link, I go in and fix it. Hope you don’t mind. If you or others would prefer that I add an “ETA -link fixed by AL” so you are aware that I edited the post, I will do that. I do not edit anything other than link info.

  14. AL says:
  15. ultimathule says:

    Thanks to Calgary and AL – hmmm – 7:00 a.m. doesn’t seem too bad – if the streams work, that is.

  16. AL says:

    I would suggest that we make individual donations to the Scleroderma Research Foundation. http://www.srfcure.org
    The site has a tribute program so the donation can be made in Oksana’s (Izabella’s) memory and a personal message can be sent as well.

    Tribute Program
    Tribute gifts are a way to acknowledge a special person, group or occasion. If you would like your gift to be in tribute, please fill out the following optional information.
    This gift is in: memory of… honor of…

    https://www.srfcure.org/donate?view=donation
    For those who wish to donate, I’ve posted Oksana’s real name in the –>
    Spring-Summer planning thread.
    FYI, Oksana2000 had 1,891 posts on this site. So maybe making donations using either the 2000 (i.e. $20.00) or 1891 or combination (i.e. $38.91)? Just a thought. Or whatever you wish to donate.

  17. ultimathule says:

    Thanks, AL

  18. Kradamour says:

    Thanks, AL – I love the idea of the tribute program. Thank you for the information about Oksana’s posts. Almost 2000 posts…and each one of them thoughtful and articulate, in spite of an illness that is horrific to contemplate.
    She is missed.
    Rose
    ETA: I just went to the donation site and they can send a message to the family member to let them know that the donation was made. Perhaps that information (who to tell about the donation) could also be made available on the planning site? Or perhaps there is another way to let the family know?

  19. ultimathule says:

    Looked at the form – can click on “In Memory” – then there’s a space for “Tribute” – this for Oksana’s name? Then there’s “Acknowledgement” – do we fill this out or leave blank? Bit confused.

  20. AL says:

    Then there’s “Acknowledgement” – do we fill this out or leave blank? Bit confused.

    I believe the acknowledgement portion is filled in if you want to let someone know that you made a donation on their behalf.

    Just need to fill in the “Person receiving the Tribute” part.

    Person receiving the Tribute
    Select title if appropriate and use full name or description as you wish it to appear on the tribute

  21. AL says:

    Perhaps that information (who to tell about the donation) could also be made available on the planning site? Or perhaps there is another way to let the family know?

    mils or I would need to get an address from the niece if you wanted to do that.
    Or I could post the niece’s e-mail address on the planning thread and each person who made a donation can send her an e-mail with the same message that they posted on the SRF site.
    Or you e-mail me if you would like the niece’s e-mail address so that it is available to only those who made a donation. I’ll post my email on the planning thread in that case.

  22. cher says:

    I was so saddened and pissed off by Norm Kent. Just jealous he didn’t get the scoop. Mean spirited. Awesome email galady. Oksana would have blown a fuse if she had read that! I’ll make a donation to the foundation when someone figures out the right way how. She was a special lady and I miss her terribly too.

    Thanks for the red carpet vid Cher!!

    Hope you don’t mind. If you or others would prefer that I add an “ETA -link fixed by AL” so you are aware that I edited the post, I will do that.

    No I was truly glad that you fixed it, When I saw they were all working I knew it had to be you…It had to be you…I’ve wandered around, finally found…. Yes

  32. glambotgram says:

    alidol ‏@glam_alidol 4h

    Adam did not like dancers’ performance…so he decided to cancel dancers

    I wonder what he didn’t like about it.

  33. Ron says:

    I’m watching cher’s Red Carpet link that appears to be the “live” show and Adam is on in 20 minutes at 9:30am EDT.

    Am I on the right track here? Question

    http://music.letv.com/zt/channelv/index.shtml

  34. Ron says:

    Am I all alone here? Neutral

    Did I miss it or is the show running long?

  35. aely says:

    Hi ron just checking in before heading out. Glam_idol said 2230 so another 40 minutes. Watched the red carpet. He looks good! Triangle shirt? Subtle hint or just likes the pattern?

  36. Ron says:

    Thank you aely!

    Another 40 minutes?

    Oh, well …

  37. Ron says:

    I am SO stupid! 22:30 is 10:30am EDT not 9:30!

    My math!! Confused

    Going to sit in the corner with a dunce cap.

  38. TLKC says:

    HI aely! Just wanted to day how much I loved your post on Miami Gay news yesterday. I read it at the office and couldn’t post how thrilled I was by its honesty and simplicity.

    After reading through all the posts here and on that paper, the thing that stands out most to me is the sheer meanness of Kent, to his staff who he publicly humiliated, to Adam and to a segment of the population that the LGBTQ community has to win over in the final phase of a long and often lonely struggle for their rights. The wall is take down one brick at a time and it is all hands on deck at the moment. The bigger the party gets, the less exclusive it becomes. (Quelle horreur!) That’s how things change.

    There were similar take-downs of key figures when the feminist movement shifted from Professors of Women’s Studies to Vice Presidents at General Motors. Certainly, Hilary Clinton and Sarah Palin were both de-railed in 2008 in part by attacks that played on all the negative stereotypes of women. I was upset by all of it because the target didn’t matter. What mattered was that all the negative images of women were vigorously trotted out out BY women.

    This article and the OUT’s open letter to Adam in fall 2009 are fed by the same type of resentment masquerading as high seriousness and justifiable indignation. Not expecting an “OUT-like” forgive-and-forget session between the two parties, though.

  39. HK fan says:

    I’m still here too….
    mmm wonder why he didn’t like the dancers???

    some awful Chinese opera type song at the moment…I can’t stand Chinese opera…

    Just got home and will be home for another hour before I have to go out again. Did I miss anything? Saw the red carpet walk that cher posted. Our boy looks snazzy.

    Have they actually had any awards, or just singing??

  42. Ron says:

    It’s been playing perfectly since I started watching at 9:05am and NOW I’m losing the picture and it’s buffering?!

    Glambert overload?!

  43. Ron says:

    Okay … seems to be stable now.

  44. HK fan says:

    ok, tapping fingers….its 10.35 now……

  45. Ron says:

    Waiting Waiting Waiting

  46. rs says:

    Hi HK fan, It looks like they are handing out awards with singing interspersed, but I don’t know the relationship between the awards and the songs. Tapping fingers is right. Watch Adam come on exactly as I have to leave the house. From the quality of the streams, though, I have no doubtthat I will have goodies waiting for me when I get home if I miss him now. Still…..

  47. HK fan says:

    Come on..bored with this now and want to go to bed! Where’s Adam..

  48. HK fan says:

    ooh, this maybe it..
