We started this Salon (blog is such an ugly word, neither Juneau nor Xena would have anything to do with a place of such inelegant appellation) and are open 24/7 to discuss, debate, dialogue, celebrate and percolate On the Meaning of Adam Lambert. Which happens to be the title of a book that wrote itself while we were not paying attention. Huh? From earliest June 2009 through the end of the Idols tour in mid-September 2009, we two women with far too many words in our heads, composed hundreds of web postings about our “Magnificent Obsession”, inspired by our Muse, Adam Lambert, and the wonderful, warm and witty group of women we grew to love. Your obsession as well?
We took the crème de la crème of our own posts along with a few great ones from the other contributors, added some photos, a time line and classic quotes from Adam. How much can two professional women with families and careers write in three and a half months? About 240 pages, after ruthless editing. We then found a publisher who thought we knew what we were doing, to turn all this into a book. A wonderful creative team – Bad Boys Garage. We’re not sure they are all boys, are bad or work in a garage, but they do know how to put a book together! We had the best time working with them and are thrilled with the result.
The journey of Adam goes on – he is a continual fount of entertainment and inspiration for us – and so we will be posting our thoughts and conversations here and we look forward to hearing from you. If you enjoy what we have produced, please help us spread the word – by tweeting, emailing, posting reviews on Amazon, and talking to other Adam fans you happen to meet. We are living Adam’s message, to not be put into a box, to be true to ourselves, to take ownership of our dreams, and we appreciate your readership and support!
Our book can be ordered and shipped worldwide through www.adamlambertbook.com or at Amazon.com.
Our door is always open – Enjoy! And thank you!!

I don’t really know how to navigate this website so i’m just going to post this here. I think it was Bonnie who made the comment to Deedee about not wanting to stir up a comment from me. I just want to tell Bonnie, i am a person and my feelings get hurt just like anyone else. You say you love Adam and all he stands for, then, why are you hurting people?
Your comment hurt. Adam would never do that.
@ Juneau and Xena – I have asked you a few times today why you unfollowed me on twitter and I have received no response. I can only speculate that you were not happy with my outspoken criticism of Monte. Since you didn’t give me the courtesy of a reply, I have no idea. Unfollowing someone should first be accompanied with a DM explaining why. This is just good manners, and might be instructive feedback. How does someone know that they have offended someone without an explanation. I would appreciate one. I always tell a person why I am unfollowing them (Threw a DM, if possible). It’s the right thing to do. It also compels someone to questions the legitimacy of their actions.
Whoa, hold your horses! First, I did not take action to unfollow you. Twitter is very glitchy. I looked at my follow list a few days ago and was surprised to see a number of accounts show up with the follow inactivated. (My DM panel wasn’t working at all either.) Second, I don’t keep track of who’s following me or unfollowing me, or whether people I’m following are following me back. I use Twitter primarily to stay informed and to share information. I follow people who provide interesting and useful information, whether I agree with them or not. I don’t unfollow anyone as a way of making a point (i.e. “you’re not my friend anymore”).
Apologies for the late reply. I was out all day with my family and had very limited access via my creaky old Blackberry.
