November finds Adam starting out the month with a rather exclusive gig at “Live in the Vineyard” in Napa, California, followed later on in the month by his first concerts in South Africa. Recent information hints that these concerts could be the unofficial start of a potential upcoming Trespassing tour, but we’ll have to wait and see about that.

Had a hard time finding a good photo this month – I’m not a fan of the Glampire pix this year so had to look for other pics. Eventually decided on a slightly pensive look for Adam, from the Arizona State Fair concert. Hope you like it.

Enjoy the chat!

  2. riskylady says:

    Speaking of the possible Kiev gig on 3/18, did we know there is a Mall of Asia concert in Manila on March 1st?
    Anyway, more on the tattoo:

    Adam Lambert‏@adamlambert
    Tattoo has nothing to do w Satanism… That’s stupid. Greek Mythology? Yes. PAN. The Internet loves these foolish Illuminati conspiracies.

    Rachel‏@n0apologies
    @adamlambert But I thought you were in the illuminati Adam. Did they never get back to your application?

    Adam Lambert‏@adamlambert
    @n0apologies hahahha right? Damned paperwork.

    Adam Lambert‏@adamlambert
    “@GulraizMehmud: @adamlambert yo Adam if u r growing a beard or a mastashe, then I think it will make u look ugly man.
    Adam Lambert‏@adamlambert
    I took a few days of of shaving. Not trying to cultivate a ‘mastache’. Wink

  3. riskylady says:

    Haha, well, I prefer the tattoo to a “mastache”…..

  4. ultimathule says:

    Pan? Oh, he’s a bad boy – known for his sexual powers – goat legs and other stuff.

  5. ultimathule says:

    Is the boy on a tour and just not telling us?

  6. cher says:

    lol! Dadbert just coined the term RAMbert for the tattoo!! Grin

  7. riskylady says:

    More from Adam:

    Cell Phone Mary lol ‏@bayoulady60
    @adamlambert your next tattoo needs to represent all of ur fans/glamberts in some way. Good Luck LOL ….. j/k
    Adam Lambert‏@adamlambert
    @bayoulady60 I have the infinity sign which represents our connection and reflection. Wink

  8. riskylady says:

    *sigh* Sooooo many entitled fans. Even still call him “adumb.” They need a “faceslap” button on Twitter for when one is totally ANNOYED.

  9. HK fan says:

    ooh Manila…only 1 1/2 hour flight. Thats the big outdoor arena though isn’t it.
    Still holding out for HK and Singapore..

    There is a Taylor Swift hour or something on channel V at the moment (in the background), I’ve heard about 7 or 8 songs so far….they all sound the same, the lyrics, tempo, music, they’re all just blending into each other.

  10. Ron says:

    Do you mind if I play a little game? Question

    I think we could use some divergence in between concerts and TV appearances and this, and tattoo’s, and that, and other concerts, and more tattoo’s, and Grammy’s, and tattoo’s, and other things here and there …

    Laugh

    In between all those things, the game is called “Guess Who“.

    You’ll know who they are but maybe not right away. Wink

    I’ll post both the before and after photos but I’ll start with the after photo first so that you’ll have to …

    GUESS WHO?

    http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL629/13192141/24146615/404798181.jpg

    This might be the before and after and first and last time that I do this … Laugh

    And with that … I’m off to sleep. Good night. Rose

  11. HK fan says:

    Have no idea Ron, looks like a kinda much older Patrick Dempsey (is that the name of Dr Mcdreamy?).

    a review of Joburg that we haven’t seen.

    new interview too

    http://www.iol.co.za/tonight/music/adam-lambert-kicks-it-live-1.1432289

  12. rs says:

    Thanks HK Fan. I never get tired of seeing how journalists are impressed with Adam, both with his voice and with his personality. That’s our boy.
    People have talked a lot about how “gay” the South African shows were. I wonder how much he will tone it down for his upcoming Asian and European shows as well as for the Tour (whenever it happens). It will be interesting what he brings to the San Fransisco show.

  13. cwm says:

    London’s Daily Mail weighs in on Adam’s tattoo. Well, actually, the article is more about his sexuality than anything else. Grrr.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2239580/Singer-Adam-Lambert-reveals-new-extravagant-unappealing-arm-tattoo–representing-astrological-signs.html

    I like that the comments nicely counterbalance the article. Go Glamberts!

  14. Calgary says:

    Hey Ron
    Is it Davy Jones?

  15. TexasWannaHoldEm says:

    Ron, is it Robert Hayes??

  16. glambotgram says:

    Not sure Ron but he looks very familiar, I had a couple of guesses but they were wrong.

  17. glambotgram says:
  18. turquoisewaters says:

    Ron: Michael Douglas?

  19. milwlovesadam says:

    Yup. Robert Hayes. Airplane.

    ETA: Any relation?

  20. milwlovesadam says:

    rs: I totally agree with your post. I appreciate the campiness of the shows from SA, but do feel strongly that they need to tone it down, or risk losing other international audiences.

    He does appear to be building an international tour.

  21. rs says:

    mils, I loved the campiness of the SA shows and I wish he could just perform whatever strikes his fancy. I didn’t say that he should tone down the show, I just wondered how much he would. I can’t wait for a proper tour, not individual concerts, where he will be able to let go like he did in the GNT shows when he was sure of his fans and that they would accept and love whatever he gave them.

  22. riskylady says:

    Wow, not sure about this Kiev thing. The description says “40 tons of equipment, incredible staging and special effects.” Really? Doesn’t sound like an Adam show – would the label go all-out like that? Would Adam even?
    http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=11558101&l=b70986379a&id=252558399090
    ETA: When you click on the link for ticket sales, it brings up the same article in RUSSIAN. HIGHLY suspicious, remember those fake concert rumors for Moscow before the actual real one?

  23. LadyNorth says:

    riskylady, 20th of March was first rumored to be St. Petersburg concert. I was thinking has it been changed to Kiev… Don’t know.

    cwm, that Daily Mail article was annoying. I know many peeps from my twitter who wrote comments there.

    Has anyone seen the article this is from? Adam saying BE is his favorite song Smile
    https://twitter.com/TaraS101/status/273811360406716416/photo/1

  24. rs says:

    LadyNorth, that quote is from a South African interview that HK Fan posted earlier
    http://www.iol.co.za/tonight/music/adam-lambert-kicks-it-live-1.1432289

    I was glad to read it because BE is one of my favorites, especially when he sings it live. I love the lyrics. I think that all of us who have lived in foreign countries and/or have had relationships where we spoke different languages can especially relate to that song.

    Hi TexasWannaHoldEm!! Kiss

    He and I share the name initials mils but other than that no relation.

    Inexplicably, he misspells his last name! Laugh

    It’s Robert Hays of “Airplane” fame now 65 years old.

  28. Ron says:

    A detailed explanation of the tattoo:

    ~The tattoo artist’s full name is Gabe Shum of the Ace Dragon Ink:
    Gabe is acknowledged as one of the most inspired tattoo artists in Asia. His “Freehand” creative style of work brings delight to his followers and inspires respect among his peers, as he always produces unique 100% freehand drawings. Tracing paper does not exist in Gabe’s artistic mind…

    http://www.acedragonink.com/Ace_Dragon_Ink/Home.html

    ~ The left eye on the tattoo is the eye of Buddha. Buddha’s Eyes, also known as Wisdom Eyes, are a symbol for the all-seeing wisdom.

    Here you can see also the spiral above his eyes, as on Adam’s tat. The Spiral is a common natural form and an ancient mystical symbol. It represents the forces and patterns underlying creation, as well as evolution and self-transformation.

    Random guesses:
    ~ The eye on the right is a woman’s eye on first glance. Assuming that this tat represents a water nymph (a female spirit) which are called Naiads in Greek mythology or, even if Adam didn’t mention it, Ved’avas in Finnish:
    Ved-ava is a water deity, common to several Baltic and Finno-Ugric peoples traditionally dependent on fishing. She is also sometimes associated with fertility. She is generally depicted as a water creature resembling a mermaid, … and is sometimes said to play or sing, seducing humans with her music.

    ~ The right eye could also belong to Adam Lambert, whose eyes are as beautiful – he is a water-bearer by astrology sign, so he can be a male counterpart to a water goddess. a water godSmile

    ~ The hair and eyebrows resemble a classic Roman decoration style. The Roman Vine:
    http://www.gaitainteriors.com/blog/wp-co….-RomanVines.jpg

    ~ Flowers and leaves symbolize Mother Nature or Gaia (Gea) in Greek mythology, her fertility and as a source of all things; Gaia is most commonly represented with leaves and flowers on her hair and face. She was the goddess or personification of Earth in ancient Greek religion, one of the Greek primordial deities. Gaia was the great mother of all.

    ~The horns stand for a ram, since he is an Aries Moon. In pagan symbolism, the Horned God(dess) is associated with nature, wilderness, sexuality, hunting and the life cycle. Also, since I still haven’t found the balance symbol, they seem the most logical choice for it.

    ~ The water coming out of the mouth can represent not only his Aquarius Sun, but also the symbol of the great cycle of life, like water circles in nature.

    Okay. Now I get it. Struggle

    Laugh

  29. luval says:

    Ron, that explanation of the tattoo makes me like it even more! Is it from the artist?

  30. cwm says:

    Cool explanation of the tattoo, Ron. Where did you find it? Is that a fan’s interpretation or from the artist?

    Also, this is an important tweet from the Russian fan group re: the supposed Kiev show:

    Adam Lambert’ fans ‏@AdamLambertRUAB
    Glamberts, we do not trust promoters from Ukraine who are spreading tix into Kiev before confirmation of it. PLZ, do not buy anything now.

    This tweet backs up riskylady’s suspicions that this Kiev gig may well be bogus.

  31. LadyNorth says:

    Thanks rs, I see that I had read that article but missed the end partThinking I like BE too a lot as a live version.

    Ron thanks for that interesting explanation of the tattoo! Whatever you think of it, it’s clear that the guy who did it is a real artist. But I am not so fond of human/face figures in tats.

    Adam is having fun in instagram. Have you seen this? Volcanic Pili Nuts. Do I even have to tell what pili means in Finnish Grin I am sure he knows too. Definitely a snack needed in the corner… Wink

  32. Ron says:

    Hi!

    I don’t dislike the tattoo nearly as much as I’ve been letting on. Wink

    It’s “okay”. Generally speaking, I’m just not a big fan of tattoo’s.

    The interpretation is from a fan who, I suppose it’s obvious, is very knowledgeable about things that are mystical and the symbolism’s they can represent.

  38. rs says:

    Is that a recent photo of Beiber? He looks 12! And how disrespectful that is to his Prime Minister! And to himself. I was recently sent a video of Pitbull at a rally for Obama and he was dressed in a suit! You really have to know how to dress for an occasion, or pay people to dress you. Very uncool. If he is trying to be grown up now, this is a major fail.

  39. AL says:

    What exactly does “pili” mean in Finnish?

    Found this website with a definition…
    http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pili#Finnish

  40. luval says:

    LOL, Al!

    rs…that is a recent photo. Bieber was totally dissed by all the magazines for that stupid outfit. Even some of his fans were not impressed. And he tweeted laughing about it!

    And Pitbull…you almost never see him in anything other than a suit. That’s his signature look. I really like it. A rapper with style, finally.

  41. turquoisewaters says:

    I tried translating it with two l’s. Gives much better results. http://translate.google.com/#fi/en/pilli Oh, I see AL was successful too.

  42. turquoisewaters says:

    re Bieber: Looks like a great outfit to play in a sand box. I’m sure that’s what he was going for.

    Crazy day – spent it chasing nine- and ten-year olds on a school trip over the American Indian Museum in D.C. Three flights between floors – won’t have to run tonight. Might say, some of the visuals there put Adam’s tat in context.

    And to tell the truth – have more pics than I can count with his pale, freckly, pillowy shoulders in view to fall back upon.

    More publicity involved as well – excellent.

    (Nice day – love being with kids that age.)

  50. ultimathule says:

    Checked that Gigwise on Wikipedia, twilight – it’s a U.K./London-based online music mag – 20th most popular. Can’t find out how long this contest will continue. There’s always an advantage in winning things, but do you think this is worthwhile? Or are they just looking for hits? Not sure.

    P.S. I’ve been voting pretty steadily.
