re: ADAM LAMBERT was at SPLASH Tonight!

[EugLoven]

What I thought was just going to be a regular night at Musical Mondays at SPLASH Bar turned-out to be pretty exciting.

Around 9:30pm, none-other-than Adam Lambert himself comes strolling in! With about 3 friends, he moved to the back of the bar into a booth.

And... a million cell phones immediately whipped out texting friends and updating their Twitter/Facebook statuses.

I got the balls to walk over and say hi (thanks to a great friend who pulled me into the booth).

He is much skinnier than I thought he would be. Glam black make-up. Black crow hair coiffed to high-heaven. Black fingertip-less gloves, black shirt and pants, long dangly chain around his neck.... (Love child of Liza and Joanne Worley?!) BUT SOOOO SWEET IN PERSON!

I introduced myself and friend as members of the NYC Gay Mens Chorus (we were flyering the tables). Told him I was there when he got accepted at his San Francisco audition (laughed that he went skipping down the street).

Then asked him why he was in-town. He is taping THE VIEW tomorrow but was sad that Whoopi wasnt going to be there. I told him to slap Elizabeth for us. He joked that he was going to be really condescending and call her Lizzie during the interview. Soooo sweet and surprisingly receptive to fans saying hello.

He left around 10:15pm, hugging/kissing fans on the way out.

glad i wasn't there tonight...the sight of him makes me ill.

cool though that he was there among the people...saying hi to his fans. more "celebrities" should do this.

[RentBoy86]

I think he's a cool dude. I like that he's so blunt, and he's def. got talent.

[snl89]

Awww

that's so sweet!

and HAHAHA I hope he really does call Elizabeth Lizzie! :P (frankly I'm just excited to see her head explode over him being there and being all charming and stuff teehee)

[PiraguaGuy2]

I'm really glad this is on the Broadway board.

[snl89]

^haha yeah, much as I love any and all Adam news, wouldn't this really fit better on the off-topic board? :)

[jrb_actor]

Well. It WAS Musical Mondays.

Whoop-ditty-doo. Adam Lambert = flash in the pan. Can't wait for him to be done with his 15 minutes.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

I love this thread.

[snl89]

Whoop-ditty-doo. Adam Lambert = flash in the pan. Can't wait for him to be done with his 15 minutes.

Actually he's awesome and not a flash in the pan at ALL, but.. to each his own I guess :P

[Pgenre]

The only thing this thread is missing is the bejeweled WIZARD OF OZ deluxe collector's watch from the boxset and a Lady Gaga parody.

P

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

To be fair, he's still in the pan, so we can't really say if he's just a flash or not.

[PalJoey]

Did he sing-a-long with any of the videos?

Did you sing Galinda's part with him on Defying Gravity?

[MusicSnob1]

PRS - What does this pan look like? Dare I venture into it?

[luvtheEmcee]

You can't see me, but this is my jealous face. He's too cute.

[TheatreFan4]

Yummy.

[muscle23ftl]

You're so lucky! I'd have told him that I love his CD, it's truly excellent.
This is appropiate for this Broadway board, since he was in musicals.

[StageManager2]

"Black crow hair quaffed to high-heaven."

I think you meant "coiffed." "Quaff" means "to drink heartily."

[luvtheEmcee]

lol.

[mywonderwa11]

I'm sorry, but I don't find him attractive at all. His skin looks weird close up. Too much makeup. Ew.

[snl89]

^ Yeahh he's got some skin issues (not anything he can really do much about), but he has incredible features!





I know makeup is his thang, but I do adore him au natural <3

(nothin' wrong with a little eyeliner though Mostly I just feel like sometimes the face makeup can make his skin look worse rather than better)

[mywonderwa11]

And my "Ew" was to his makeup...not his skin.

[snl89]

^Oh I figured that haha

but yeah, I agree the face makeup really isn't necessary! Though sometimes it does look pretty- I think for every day use he wears Bare Minerals, which is sooo much better than the cakey stuff

But... I am a sucker for freckles, and he has amazing freckles! I wish he'd let them show more often


Eyeliner I will never have a problem with though. He rocks it :)

[MusicSnob1]

snl - how many gay men have you tried to turn straight?

I'm just sayin... You're obsessed with young, attractive, homosexual males. Nothing wrong with that except for the 'obsessed' part (mind you).

[WalkLikeAMan]

[snl89]

I can't help that I tend to be attracted to pretty gay boys! haha

I would never try to turn anyone straight- I just like the eye candy :P

And as for the obsessed part, it really doesn't have to do much with the gay factor. I just happen to love a lot of gay performers and stuff. But like.. I love Adam because I think he's amazing. Nothing to do with the gay factor. And, dude, I'm a Broadway fan! Of COURSE most of my favorite male Broadway actors are going to be gay because, um, there's a lot of gay guys on Broadway! :)
