Winter Formal reinacting a scene from our play!

This is after a choir concert where we both had solos. Danielle Stori is the one in the middle. Her lovely music is available on itunes. She is an amazing artist. Her and Adam are still best friends.

Look at the magic of a little spray tan and some hair color...and some eyeliner.

Adam Lambert on American Idol

I have to say, Adam was uuuuh-mazing last night! I absolutely loved his cleaned up style. He looked so great and his interpretation of Smokey Robinson's "The Tracks of my Tears" was breathtaking. My husband will vouch I am not a repeat girl (unlike him), but I could listen to that all day. Smokey is such an amazing artist. I loved that he gave Adam a standing ovation. I am a proud Adam fan!

Here's his look from last night...

And here is usual goth rocker look....

As for his version of "Ring of Fire" last week, I really liked it. It was very different from the original no doubt, but it was a very cool rendition that I seem to appreciate the more I listen to it. He absolutely stayed true to his artistic style and that is what a great artist does.

With his crazy range and raw natural talent, he emits the confidence and professionalism an American Idol should have. He takes risks and that is the only way to win the great payout.

My Friends the Reality Stars!

It is not often that I have to flip back and forth between 2 of the biggest reality shows on t.v. to see 2 of my very good friends star during primetime. I am talking about my friend Blaine Cotter who is on this seasons The Biggest Loser. I have know Blaine for a very long time. I think we "liked" eachother for 5 minutes my freshman and his sophmore year. That is where this photo comes in.

This is homecoming my freshman year.

I'm not sure his exact height, but he grew to be somewhere around 6'7. He is the one who later encouraged Lance to give me a call when I moved back into town after I lived in Orange County. So essentially he initiated the romance that started it all for me and Lance! He is married to the sweetest, most beautiful girl ever and we just adore them and their cute kids. Lance and I are really proud of him and the sacrifice that he and his family made so that he could be on the show. (His wife Jenny was 9 months pregnant and due during the taping)! Check out Jenny's link to their blog to read the latest. So far the show has been really inspiring. He has been such a great friend and motivator to the others on the show. He's such a great guy, supported by an amazing wife and a wonderful family! Go Blaine! We can't wait to see your results!

And then there is my friend Adam Lambert who auditioned for American Idol this season... We we will see how his audition goes tonight. I'm so excited! Adam is an amazing vocalist and actor. Not only was I priviledged to work with him in a few plays and musicals we were also great friends. In highschool his natural talent exceeded the talent of most our age. And he was an enviable favorite of both drama and choir directors. I have way too many pictures of us, but here are some of the select few. Now he has dark hair and looks a lot different and he will probably kill me for posting these. But my blog has such a small audience... Most of these were during his Junior year. He has been in the musical Wicked for that last year and a half in LA. Vote for Adam!!!!!!!!!!
