Happy Valentine's Day everyone ♥
Reading the news last night while I couldn't sleep, I came across two things that I wanted to share with you today on this day of love. The first one is funny. The second is awesome.
The first story made me laugh so hard I thought I was going to fall out of my chair. It seems that British men don't want to be left out of the "Wonderbra" phenomenon that took over the U.S. several years ago. No, they aren't wearing bras but they are wearing "anatomy-boosting underwear". For real. Would I lie to you?
According to the story "The pants work by using a lift and hold feature at the front, like a male version of the cleavage-boosting Wonderbra. "The briefs mean that no man ever needs to feel inadequate again on the most passionate day of the social calendar," said Rob Faucherand, head of men's accessories buying at Debenhams (a British department store that has seen a 76% increase in sales of the underwear in the past week). "However we can't be held responsible for what happens once the pants come off," he added."
Personally I don't notice a mans "package" until after the pants are off...haha! I wish them luck though. Hopefully it won't cause their romantic evening to end short. :)
Ok, sorry, I couldn't help myself. On a serious note though, the second story I read totally made me feel good in an it's-an-awesome-way-to-help way instead of a falling-out-of-my-chair-laughing way.
Stars have united to remake Michael Jackson's We Are The World song/video 25 years after the original to aid Haiti in their time of need. The video is so cool to me. I love how they incorporated rap and Haitian music into it (I'm a big fan of just about ALL genres of music). You can download the tune and donate for Haiti relief. Here's the video. Enjoy it and donate if you can. They need our help.
Much love to all my Blogland friends. Happy Valentine's Day ♥
I found this video this morning and thought it was so cute! It was a little hard for me watch because it flashes between the pictures but the thoughts of the kids are just great. Enjoy!

Adam Lambert wowed me on last season's American Idol (which I'm sure you remember from all my posts about him). I was totally in love with his flamboyant ways and beautiful voice. I would even go so far as to say that I was his #1 fan. Now I'm a little disappointed.
Don't get me wrong, I still love him. I'm just not as wowed.
I know he caused a lot of controversy on the 2009 American Music Awards when he grabbed his male keyboardist and laid a big kiss on him but to me, that was part of who he is. I wasn't one of the people that was bothered by that. As a matter of fact, I cheered because of it.
Now, I'm sure some of you are screaming at your screen and telling me how wrong I am for that, but I'm sorry, I will never believe any different than I do. People are people to me. Black, white, gay, straight...it doesn't matter to me. What you do in your private life makes no difference to me. What matters to me is the person and I believe Adam to be a real talent.
Here's where my disappointment shows up. I was surfing around the web and came across this story about Adam. I immediately watched the video. He sounds wonderful but where is the flash, the glam, the wow? It's missing. To me it's practically boring. If I close my eyes and just listen, it's awesome but that's not what I want to do. I want to see a show. I want to be entertained. I want my Glambert back!!
Ok, that's enough complaining for one day :)
Here's the video. Enjoy his voice. I stand by my statement that he is a real talent.
