Adam Lambert attends the GLAAD awards with his mom!

Adam Lambert brought his mom to the GLAAD Awards!

While some of us may have sent our mom a box of half-eaten chocolates for Mother's Day (It was an accident!), Adam Lambert went above and beyond to thank his mom for being the most amazing parent in the world by taking her to the GLAAD Awards! Now, please stop EVERYTHING you're doing and pay homage to the woman who created our prince of glam. Without Adam's mom, we wouldn't have things like Adam's expert smize and neck porn! (Anyone else feel a little weird having the words "mom" and "porn" in the same sentence?)

The "Never Close Our Eyes" singer attended the 24th Annual GLAAD Media Awards in San Francisco with his mom and shared the photo on Instagram along with the caption "Mom and I at the #glaadawards both rockin Alexander McQueen on the carpet." Not only was Adam looking FOINE, but he also received the Davidson/Valentini Award which celebrates "a member of the LGBT community who has made a significant difference in promoting equal rights." We can only imagine how proud Adam's mom was to see her son accept ANOTHER coveted honor -- we think she should flaunt that ish for the world to see! Forget those lame "My Child's An Honor Roll Student" bumper stickers. Adam's mom needs one that says "Honk if you're a proud Glambert! I'm his mom, SO BOW DOWN." (It would have to be a really long sticker.)

Adam Lambert rocks heart-shaped glasses while out with friends in Japan.

Adam Lambert's glam is so powerful that IT GLOWS.

If any of you Glamberts have wondered what it'd be like to spend an evening out with Adam Lambert (WE WONDER THIS EVERY SINGLE NIGHT), please enjoy this fantastic photo of Adam WERQUING some flashy heart-shaped glasses while out with his BFFs. Besides the obvious note that Adam looks good in any pair of shades, we've just been handed some breaking news: Adam's glam is so powerful that it glows! Those shades are pulsing at 100 Glam-a-Watts of pure sexiness! (Which is now officially a legit measurement of energy soon to be taught in every science class.)

The "Ray Of Light" singer shared his photo on Instagram with the caption "Back in Japan...," and we are IN LOVE with Adam's attempt at being goofy with that "Derp" face. (LOL! Nice try, Adam, but your "neck porn" and leather pants will forever outweigh any attempts at being dorky.) But we're mostly loving that our Prince of Glam never misses a chance to remind the world to have fun, be yourself, and to not give an EFF what anyone thinks. While some people hit up the club acting like VIP big deals, Adam ain't got time for that -- PUH-LEASE. Adam's all, "Haters can hate, but I'm ALWAYS gonna illuminate."

Adam Lambert shared a photo of his 22-year-old self!

Adam Lambert shared a glamouriffic "Then & Now" photo!

Looking at this "Then & Now" photo of Adam Lambert totally has us narrating a glam fairy tale in our heads... something like (read in the voice of Morgan Freeman), "A long, long time ago (2002 to be exact), there lived a young boy named Adam Lambert. Unbeknownst to him, he was DESTINED to become the Prince Of Glam." Actually, Adam probably always knew that he would one day rule the Glamberg kingdom -- just look at his confident 22-year-old look! It totally screams "I WIN AT EVERYTHING" and "Did anyone TiVo that new show "American Idol"? I want to take notes so I can DOMINATE it one day."

The "Never Close Our Eyes" singer shared the photo on Instagram along with the caption "9 years ago! Woah. (That's some bad yellow bleach.)" First, we have to disagree with Adam on the bad bleach job -- need we remind him that it could have been waaay worse, like, "'90s boy band frosted tips" worse. Second, WE MUST HAVE Adam's moisturizing routine! Aside from his brighter hair and those earrings, Adam still looks exactly like he did in his early 20s! Apparently that's just another perk of having all that potent glam coursing through your veins (he also has the ability to nail every smize and give epic "neck porn" at any time) -- you NEVER age.

All hail Adam Lambert, the Prince of Glam!

Usually when we talk about Adam Lambert, we use words like "guyliner" and "neck porn." But this recent photo of Adam not only has us fanning ourselves uncontrollably from seeing him in a suit, it also has us dipping into a whole new set of descriptive words! Well, to be fair, the only word that comes to mind is, "DAAAYUM," 'cause Adam is looking like a FOINE-ass member of royalty. Glamberts, our leader has spoken: ALL HAIL THE SEXY SMIZE!

The "Let's Dance" singer was snapped looking like the crown Prince of Glam while attending the 2013 17th Channel V Chinese Music Awards In Macau (Can we say that we're a little jealous of Adam's vacays lately -- Miami then Macua!?) where he won the Favourite International Artist award. Anyway, we're totally not surprised Adam won such a coveted accolade (the guy has a reputation for scoring trophies). Plus, we couldn't think of a better spokesperson to represent the USA than Adam! And speaking of countries, based on this royal-esque photo and the fact that Adam already has a billion royal subjects (that's us, Glamberts!), Adam should just dub himself an official prince and even run his own country -- he could call it Glambertia! The only law: Your hair can NEVER out-quiff his.

Adam Lambert wore a silver neck chain while performing for Miami's Gay Pride Festival!

Adam Lambert's Miami outfit is (literally) off the chain! Or close to that.

Adam Lambert has already shown us how to properly accessorize with 3-D glasses, fringe, blue suits, leather pants, AND the WORLD'S MOST EPIC SMIZE, but this past weekend Adam took it ALL to the next level (per usual) by wearing a super-sexy, heavy-duty metal chain necklace. Which totally proves that 1) Adam can wear anything he likes and 2) Adam is STILL rocking that neck porn like a PRO! (BTW, has anyone checked the weather report in Florida lately? Because we're pretty sure Adam's just raised temps through THE ROOF.)

The "Let's Dance" singer shared his photo on Instagram along with the caption "Miami" before performing at the 5th Annual Miami Beach Gay Pride Festival (check out his "Naked Love" and "Pop That Lock" performance!). All Adam Pride performances and neck porn aside, we're just SO happy Adam's out whooping it up after his recent breakup with long-term boyfriend Sauli Koskinen (SO super SADZ about this news), and he's not at home bawling into a bowl of cream sauce-slathered pasta (not that we have personal experience with that... ahem). PUH-lease, like that would EVER happen -- Adam's got places to BE and a NECK to show OFF.

Adam Lambert gives a sexy caress to himself while on stage.

Adam Lambert's too sexy for his pants!

If you were looking for a "Sultry Adam Lambert" update (which just so happens to be everything he does), we'd like to introduce you to this INCREDIBLY SEXY photo of a leather-clad Adam caressing himself on stage. It kinda reminded us of the time Rihanna grabbed herself while performing, except Adam kinda takes it to a whole new level. What makes Adam's moment superior? Well, because he is Adam EFFING Lambert, expert server of FACE, and he does everything better than ANYONE. Capiche?

This isn't the first time we've pointed out Adam's supreme sexiness -- his sexy stock shot through the roof when he successfully wore fringe and an absurdly blue suit, showed us his neck porn, took a bathroom selfie, and started a bad boy band. But everything, and we mean everything, has led up to this steamy-sexy Instagram photo of a slightly snarling Adam in all leather and rocking nail polish like a boss. (Btw, when is he dropping his own nail color line?! We are ready to invest!) But if you're a real Glambert, you aren't really admiring his outfit; you're probably imagining yourself as that microphone stand he's holding. Don't worry, it's entirely OK to be jealous of a piece of stage equipment! Where Adam's concerned, rabid fangirling is a GIVEN.

Adam Lambert 4

Meet Adam Lambert's new boy band, "The Guy Liners." J/K. But wouldn't that be AH-MAZING?!

Only speaking hypothetically here, Glamberts (SO DON'T PANIC!), but if Adam Lambert ever got bored of taking over the world solo, maybe he could start a boy band called "The Guy Liners!" Before you disagree, just look at the above photo and try to convince us that this pic of Adam hanging with his all-dude glamily wouldn't be a poster you'd tack up on your bedroom wall, lip-synch to every single night, and stare at obsessively wondering which one you'd live happily ever after and adopt shelter dogs with. (Sorry, just taking a walk down my own childhood-boy-band-obsessed memory lane.)

The "Never Close Our Eyes" singer shared the photo on his Instagram along with the caption "Bad Boys Club." First, we HAVE to state the obvious here: Adam has reallly good-looking friends (ALL OF THEM). Second, judging by the the photo's caption and general badassery, the guys could totally re-create their own all-male version of M.I.A.'s "Bad Girls"! Could they be in the middle of filming their very own "Bad Boys" video?? After all, Adam is stellar at covering divas (remember his version of Rihanna's "Stay" and Madonna's "Ray of Light?"). Admit it, "Live fast, glam young" does have a nice ring to it.

Adam Lambert wears 3-D glasses while at Universal Studios in Singapore.

Of course Adam Lambert makes 3-D glasses look like couture from the future.

No one's surprised that Adam Lambert can rock 3-D glasses like they're couture, right? (We'll go ahead and answer that one for y'all: "AH-NOPE!") And of course, Adam acquires a pair that almost flawlessly matches the blue suit he's been wearing while DOMINATING on tour in Asia! This just in: Adam ALWAYS finds a way to win at everything he does, and if you'd like more proof, please look at this photo of him holding a trophy for being the BEST EVAR. Any remaining haters, please step aside.

The "Stay" singer shared the photo of him embracing a multidimensional experience on Instagram along with the caption, "Universal Studios - Singapore. 3d time!" So, not only is Adam exploring Asia and taking bathroom seflies with his BFF in his off time, but he also gets to hit up amusement parks! And if you need more to marvel at, please take note of Adam's hair -- not a follicle out of place! He's been riding rides that whip you around and he STILL manages to serve some coif-perfection realness. Anyway, the only thing that would make this image better is if we had a pair of 3-D glasses that made it look like Adam was with us everywhere we went. Or better yet, VICE VERSA! YO, one of you crafty Glamberts, design a pair of those for us, STAT!
