Hi everyone! Things have been a wee bit hectic with prelims coming soon. I've read loads of books meanwhile, and hope to post more reviews soon rather than leaving them in Draftsland. Thanks for all your support and encouragement. Authors/publicists: I'm currently not accepting any review requests as stated in the updated policy, but I do so appreciate that you consider this blog a worthy avenue for your books.
I'm a long time fan of Adam Lambert, and so it was with major excitement (and a little apprehension) that I greeted the news of his venture into the unknown. Specifically, Adam's going deep into the forests, where no human has come out alive or sane, to integrate into the Unseelie Court's society.
First, he has to have the suitable disguise. Look at his pained expression! Oh Adam. I adore you more, especially for having the guts to get down and dirty with the fairies. Those spikes are UNREAL. I bet they fit right in. That costume must have been hard to replicate, but then again, who knows how fairies look like?
Except Adam, that is. Kudos. I admire your bravery. Especially faced with unidentified foes that have been caught on tape for no longer than a split second. Luckily, while watching the documentary, I had the presence of mind to take rapid screenshots. And here you go! The first ever documented still of a fairy. It looks like an acrobat spinning hoops masterfully. It is so creepy how they do that: make our minds see things that we can accept.
Adam has chosen to go for one of the most renown fairy practices: the dance. I'm not sure where he found a large enough fairy ring to accommodate the number of fairies he's dancing with, and I don't think the location is going to be disclosed to us anytime soon.
Here are some more stills. I am in awe, ladies and gentleman. Especially to think that Adam has come out unscathed from the fairy ring--one wonders what might have been traded for his safe return. Some say that he's been hired to be Prince Ash's doppelgänger.
Look at him now, and look at Ash smirking. That fairy prince has a lot of secrets; this might just be one of them, and only Adam and Ash will know, ey?
Adam is above, and Ash is below. They are practically indistinguishable! Or perhaps Ash is above and... er. Meghan sure won't like the way that redhead is looking at Ash. Or Adam. I'm confused now. Maybe that's Puck in disguise.
I'm leaving you now with one last look at Adam, surprised at having been caught on tape. Though I'm not sure why he's surprised. (Ash?) Thank you so much for this wonderful documentary. I've learnt more about fairies than I ever did reading about them. A special thanks to the Unseelie Court for giving us this look into their society and cultural practices. I don't know how Adam and the crew managed this uncensored footage, but it's truly amazing.
Thanks to Nicole at Word for Teens for the original idea. Special thanks to Julie Kagawa for her amazing book The Iron King and the other stories set in the same universe. Without her wonderful creations and characters Ash and Puck, this tiny spoof wouldn't have been possible. Most of all, thanks to Adam Lambert for this wonderful video. I love the setting, the atmosphere and the costumes. Most of all, I love you and your music. Fangirl here! And Adam, your cool points have gone waaay up for using a lion from the lion dance in your video (pictured below).
Added: Julie, I found your alien! It's a lion traditionally used in Chinese lion dances!
I'm a lion, here me rawwwr!
My American cousin is above. He went to pursue stardom.

Still looks like an alien. ;-)
Awesome post, btw.
Wait, this is an Adam Lambert song? :O I always wondered who the artist was. I like certain parts of the songs while others fall away every time. x.x
