Glam Nation Round Two!

It was Adam Lambert concert night numero dos and this time I was taking my girl friend Shaina (the blonde bombshell in the pictures) and Dave and Mike, Tommy's room mates and close friends.

It has become my unofficial job as hair stylist make up artist and stylist to all of my friends, even the boys. So of course Mike came over and got his hair and make up done. He combed though a few of my feather earrings and picked out a blue and rhinestone feather earring. I said "are you suer, its a little feminine, and he said Chantala, "Im a little feminine" haha! I love Mike. Ive known Mike for about 5 years and hes great, we get along really well.

After Mike, Shaina came running into my house saying "oh my god, my hair is hopeless!!!" I pulled her hair back and stuck a bunch of hot pink feathers in her ponytail, it looked so cute!

I decided that if i was gonna do it again i was gonna match my first night and dress up again, so i donned another Black dress and Heels. This was round two in 6.5 inch heels. I am superwoman, sometimes.

Dave rolled up in his giant car and immediately Shaina and I had a million requests!
We stopped by the Market to get a bottle but we saw a deal on a handle so we got that instead.
Mike saw someone walking out of the market with Jamba Juice so our booze run turned into a mission.
Mike got his smoothie, we had rum and we were ready to hit the road.

Dave drove us responsibly as me and Shaina partied in the backseat.
We got stuck in bizarre traffic at the exit and by then and hour had passed, meaning and hour of drinking for me and shaina.
We had to pee so bad we almost peed on the side of the free way

but then i remembered the pattern of my luck
and i knew that traffic would pick up and we would be abandoned at the side of the road.
 Dave went to McDonalds, and me and Shaina ran into a park bathroom and then pushed a homeless man in his wheelchair down the street while waiting for Dave and Mike. No one else was helping him.

We hung out in the parking lot for a little bit before meeting up with Tommy. We took pictures and ate our McDonalds fries.parking Lot party.




We met Tommy at the bus and because hes such a big Rock Star I screamed, cried and threw up all over his shoes. ....

We sat on the bus and had a beer and hung out for a bit. I had to pee (again) and i was informed of all the bus bathroom rules. I walked out of the back room on the bus, and Liz said..."Wait! Do you know the rules?"

I came out and sat down with Liz and introduced myself. Time to start networking *knuckle crack*
I started taking out my jewelry for her to look at and it ended up being passed around the bus. David stepped in and said "wow this is really cool, do you make man feathers?" haha I said yea sure I can make some man feather.

I gave Liz a single Peacock Feather Earring and true to her character she was very grateful and very friendly!
I told her I admired her ability to wear her kind heart on her sleeve, she looked surpirised.
After talking with Liz I met Longineu -- does that man own a shirt?
And Monte. Monte was holding his little daughters hand while his wife stood behind him proudly, strangely Attractive Family.

We walked of the bus and found our seats. Shaina and I made sure to dance as ridiculously as possible and to scream loud to embarrass Mike and Dave. I think it worked! It would be a miracle of they ever take us anywhere again

The Concert was amazing! The set was even better the second time around!

After the show we met up with everyone and said good bye! I really wanted to meet Adam and say hi and thank you to Camila Grey for all the promotion she has done for me but I'm not sure where they went after the show.

Glam Nation Round One

On my first night at Glam Nation I went with my best friend Theresa. I got the tickets from a nice lady that found me on Twitter name Alana. She sent me 2 tickets for the Cost Mesa, Ca show on the 27th and four for the 28th!

We left to the show around 4:30 and of course made pit stop to fill up our flasks before the show! I packed my purse full of Feather Jewelry from my website www.HideYourFeathers.Etsy.com in hopes that i might pass out my cards and make some sales! I thought it was a good idea and the perfect opportunity to promote my business but some of my friends were calling me gypsy for trying to sell things out of my bag, I call it good business! hehe

I had a world of trouble trying to figure out what to wear. First i had on my knee high flat boots but they made me look so short with the dress I had on. I was determined to wear a skirt or a dress even though my legs were all green and bruised a car accident prior that week.I ended up wearing a plain black strapless dress and black pumps. As long as you have a flask in your purse, you can wear pumps anywhere!

I dressed up my black dress with a pink Feather Hair extension and a Black Rose and Feather Necklace I made especially for the show. I made Theresa a pair of copper and Turquoise Earrings, they looked amazing with her red hair! Theresa and I pumped ourselves up for the show in the two hour traffic jam we were stuck in by rolling down our windows and singing along to What Do You Want From Me, because it is the only song we have on disc that was in Thesesa's car!
We finally got to the show and walked around a bit passing out my business cards and meeting people! Most of the people that i talked to knew who i was from Twitter, i was really flattered and very surprised! I took a few pictures with some very sweet girls and sold a few pieces.


Here is a picture from one of my Twitter people, she was so sweet, everyone was!

We got to our seats and watched the ending of Orianthi's set, she was really freaking talented!
We walked around some more waiting for Adam to play, we went through an entire box of business cards! In all honesty i loved being able to pass out my card at a concert and say that the band is rocking my gear, because its the truth! Yesss! hehe

Adam came on around 9 and the opening number blew my mind! The stage set up and and the performance was amazing. My favorite songs are Music Again and Fever! The Fever outfit was absolutely insane, I wanted to steal that hat! The cover of Ring of Fire was more incredible than i can explain for so many reasons. I was floored to not only be watching Tommy finally get the break he deserved, but there he was on stage playing a Johnny Cash cover!!!! Knowing how much he loves Johnny Cash, it was all pretty amazing.

Theresa and I had had a few drinks by the time Adam came on, so to say the least we were ready to dance and we did! In fact, a lady told me to sit down, I said "everyone is standing and having fun except you" and then I turned around and got down with my Other Half! (Theresa :p) I was not about to sit down at my friends show! I screamed so many times i had no vioce by the end of the night! Out section was a bit dead, i wont lie. When Adam licked Tommy I screamed and hollered and got into it! haha! I screamed for Tommy and Camila and probably looked insane! Camila was wearing her feathers, that also made me pretty happy.

Once the show was over, I joined the herd and left. I figured I would have plenty of time to see Tommy the next night, and I was not about to take on the crowds surrounding the buses. I had so much fun! I couldnt wait to do it again!
