I can’t believe that the issue that Ellen Degeneres has been talking about all year is finally out. Ellen is covering the December 2009 issue of O with Oprah . I think the covers turned out amazing! This is only the second time in the magazine’s history that Oprah has shared the cover with someone else.
What did Oprah say about Ellen while they were doing the photo shoot?
“When Ellen arrived at the photo shoot for our cover, I didn’t have to ask her how she was doing: it showed on her face,” says Oprah. “She radiated the kind of peace and satisfaction that comes only when you’re living at your highest potential.”
I think Ellen is a great role-model.

Why couldn’t I have had an Adam Lambert when I was growing up? I lived in a tiny, one horse, very hick, Kentucky town, and most people who lived there were very narrowminded and set in their ways. Still are. To this day when I go back home, it’s like I enter a time warp. I was definitely “odd girl out”,did not fit in any box they would attempt to shove me in, and I despised their labels.
I preach, constantly, vigilantly, that people should hold tight to their individuality, be proud of who they are, and not let ANYONE influence that. Adam Lambert and I seem to have that mentality in common.
In an interview with People he said:
“It’s a really, really cool thing,to be able to show people that you can be yourself, and you should be proud of yourself, and you should own who you are and what you’re about, and never make apologies for it.” (View the full article HERE)
He cites that he is a good role model for kids and young adults, I could not agree more if I wanted to.ANYONE who faces the world, full force, not backing down and has the courage to go on to say :
“Conforming is not cool,embracing who you are and what makes you different is actually what’s really cool … The kids that are different and out there and expressive and are bold with those choices, those are the people that grow up to be people we all want to hang out with, that become celebrities or become really successful in what they do because they believe in who they are.”
DESERVES TO BE CALLED A ROLE MODEL.
I was different. My friends were different. None of us are famous (YET), but if we had someone of Adam’s caliber, acceptance and mentality to look up to when we were younger, maybe our lives wouldn’t have been so hard, carving out that niche, learning to accept ourselves, may have been a little less difficult.
If my god daughter, or children I may ever have, choose to have a role model in the public eye, I PRAY that they’re as wonderful as Adam Lambert, because if that is their hero, I could rest assured, they are being guided right, by someone other than myself.
THANK YOU ADAM FOR BEING INCREDIBLE.
