How to Turn the New Adam Lambert Album Cover into a Last-Minute Halloween Costume
Within this Halloween’s predictable costume brigade of Michael Jacksons, Lady Gagas, and “Recession-Proof Sluts,” it may seem daunting to find an original costume by Saturday. Well, I can’t help you with originality, but if you decide to go as Adam Lambert’s new For Your Entertainment album cover, I can ensure that you find all necessary supplies in just one trip to your decrepit hometown True Value.
· Manic Panic in Midnight or Sidewalk Chalk Blue
· A decent Photoshopper (Mom) who understands that the look is half-Taylor Lautner, half-Fairuza Balk. Tell her to comb your hair over like post-out Rosie O’Donnell, because LGBT rights are cool and so is Adam.
· A publicly stated desire to share your candy with a girl, maybe
· A bratty little brother you have to supervise all night, named Kris Allen.
· Constellations (You can reenact this with follicular glitter and a simple flashlight).
· A slightly worn batting glove. Have your parent or legal guardian cut the fingers off. After hole-punching the wrist of the glove, insert a keychain ring attached to several scraps of a dark handkerchief. Remember: the tighter the glove, the more rock ‘n roll the life.
· Madonna’s first album, to be sure you get the spangles, face clutch, bubbling-over carnality, and pain-eyes right. Matt Giraud fans will make fun otherwise.
· Eye shadows in Feelin’ Reflective Black and Banana Bombshell yellow, lipstick in Pink Grapefruit. For authenticity, use Crayola Washables.

You can tell by that look in his eyes, Adam is ready for the Big Dipper to enter his Milky Way.

So I guess a satin catsuit would cover the rest?

That is some exquisitely lovely airbrushing.

The cover is to get people talking and it's doing that.
This is a cover for INTERNATIONAL sales.
Comparing it to his very hot look last night at the This Is It premiere with his red carpet date Katy Perry, where they both looked great, he knows what he's doing and pushing people's buttons.
This cover is getting more press than any other cover this year. He is on more websites, more news articles, more water cooler converstaions than anything out on albums this year (including Lady GaGa)...He KNOWS what he's doing.

For sure, this cover has generated so many thousands of comments since yesterday it's unbelievable!!! One article from Reality Rocks has generated over 11,000 comments alone!!! Some don't like it, but obviously it's generating attention, which is what Adam is all about. Shock value and fabulosity!!! lol
