A Place Where Adam Lambert Dared To Go: It's Called A Xanadon't

So, Glambert unveiled his utterly ridonk album cover yesterday. I can't quite form a coherent critique of it, but many things run through my mind when I look at it. Things like...
  • Holy shit. I had no idea that Glamour Shots was still in business.
  • Was it "Bring Your Child To Work Day" at the graphic design studio? And do the graphic designers interpret that as "Let Your Child Do Your Work Day?"
  • Can you buy retinal brushes over the counter?
  • Daddy, why is he so much prettier than me?
  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. *sigh* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
  • I guess people will stop asking if he's gay now. Because that's gayer than the Village People having an orgy with a bunch of Cher impersonators on a pink float driven by Liza Minelli.

LOL forever that just last week after Adam's Details cover spread featuring him bein sexy with a naked chick, many blogs were filled with comments incensed that OH NOES Adam was somehow betraying his gay, selling out to conform, blah blah blah. I think this CD cover answers those concerns with a sparkly rainbow giggle of NOPE. Gotta confess, I just can't help myself, it's so ridiculous that I actually kinda love it. And ya gotta admit, it won't exactly blend in with the rows of earnest serious covers in the racks at Walmart. LMAO. Oh Adam, never ever change.

Egads. I thought for a minute that Pink had changed her name.

Looking at that cover makes me wish you'd bring back the Firecrotch...

He really should have gone with a brown-black mascara, would have softened his look.

That's the cover huh?

Good luck with that. I guess he's counting on the fact that nobody buys CD's or vinyl anymore.

Is it just me or does he kind of look like Kelly Osbourne?

And you're right about the non-mystery as to which way his gate swings. This photo is as queer as a cat fart.

Okay, so I've been ripping on this album cover ever since I saw it, but the more I look at it the funnier it gets. He did say it was purposefully ridiculous. Maybe that's just it. It's meant to be laughed at. Well, if so then color me amused.

Ummm, as a makeup artist I must say that his makup is FABULOUS!

He needed to make the "purposeful" part of "purposefully ridiculous" more evident. All I see is ridiculous. And pretty. A whooooole lotta pretty.

Where is the unicorn?

He shouldn't be allowed to use the "Purple Rain" font for his album title. Nononono.

There is a famous poster from the 80s that looks almost exactly like that. Really Adam, is it necessary to be that gender-bending? Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Ok, I just spent 20 minutes doing every kind of Google image search imaginable to try to find the "famous" poster I referred to and I've come up empty handed. Damn you for reminding me.

Whenever something outrageous happens related to American Idol, or I just need a good laugh, especially when looking for reasons not to go to the gym, I think, "I need to check out what Beckeye's got to say." You NEVER disappoint. This post in no exception. "Glamour Shots" - I'll never look at this album cover again without thinking it!
