Milwaukee Glam Nation Concert- June 15, 2010
Well It finally arrived, the day I’ve been waiting for. I get to see Adam’s "Glam Nation" concert. I got the ticket several weeks ago and have been planning my "glam" look ever since. I went on line and searched for appropriate t-shirts or other apparel, goth jewelry, leather fingerless gloves, shoes, er boots, etc. I found an amazing shirt with the "Eye of Horus" and Adam’s name on it in glitter. Had it made in purple. Found cute black leggings with an awesome design in rhinestones on the left leg. Went on a three day search for the right bling to adorn it with, necklaces, yes plural, bracelets, and earrings. Got these great giant hoop earrings with rhinestones all around. Bought blue hair extensions, dark blue glitter nail polish, purple and blue eye shadow, and found a great eye liner in black with glitter!
So today, I began getting ready for the "big nite". Could hardly wait. Meeting other "glam-ettes" for dinner before the show. So I slowly and methodically put on my glam make-up, fixed my hair and added the blue extension, put on my beautiful purple Adam shirt, and began layering necklaces. Six or seven all together was the final total to make the look complete. Went through my ring collection (I love rings) and picked out the ones that I felt complemented my outfit, filled 7 fingers with bling. Had picked out some glittery thong sandals to wear, but the day had turned cold and rainy, so they did not seem right, besides my feet would get wet and then be cold. I decided I should stop somewhere and find a great pair of boots, which I fortunately was able to do rather quickly. They were knee high black patent leather with that sort of combat look to them. They completed the outfit in my opinion. (I Did get several compliments on them!) I felt like a million bucks, a queen of glam, ready to meet the Glam God of Rock.
I drove to Milwaukee and the Riverside Theater. Found parking not too far away, and then met other "Glamberts" for dinner. They were very nice ladies from all over the place, with the same obsession I have-ADAM. As we finished our meal, one by one, each lady got up and headed for the concert! Including me! It was everything I hoped for and more. Adam has a magnificent voice and it came through loud and sweet and clear. Those beautiful "screams" which are always musical and not just noise were amazing. His outfits, of course, were glitzy and awesome. I stood and sang and danced with my Adam all through the concert. I was fortunate to have two seatmates that stood with me and were as excited as I was. It was a fantastic evening. Then as quickly as he popped on, Adam waved good night and left. He left us all breathless and excited and in total AWE of the talent and timing and poise he possesses. As I left the theater, I was overcome with a sense of extreme joy and a touch of sadness that the night was over. I drove home and listen to FYI all the way pondering the evening.
I went into my bathroom and as I took off all my glam, I suddenly felt like Cinderella after the ball. I had a beautiful evening and now had turned back into the housewife, er, domestic goddess that I am. Thank the universe for computers. I can always see Adam performing whenever I push a few magic buttons.
