That’s not, what I mean. IMO Adam is using „dusted“ to describe dark eye mak-up. Hmm... but the make-up is barely noticeable. I think I just don't get it haha Another try....just saw something which I can no longer find.... said ‘Dusted is the Instagram equivalent of being On fleek’ so perhaps Adam meant it as his appearance being on top form. That would certainly make sense! (Before Adam, i used to think I spoke English pretty well.... )

A propos of nothing, I've been playing YouTube on shuffle and stumbled upon this video. Outside of all the big hits, this has got to be one of my favourite Queen songs and I love what Adam does with it. Thought I'd share.

I figure it's kind of like the little catch phrases hubby and I have, that nobody else would understand.

I am totally in support of fighting against such senseless cruelty, especially when it is enforced and encouraged by the actual head of a country. It's disgusting and must be stopped. The problem with a boycott of the hotels is that (if successful), it can hurt the innocent employees who work there. If the number of guests goes down, the employees could face lay-offs, etc. Quite honestly, as passionate and well-intentioned as these strategies are, they usually are not that effective. Most paying guests are either unaware of the "cause" or they just don't care. I hope there is some way to stop Brunei's horrible practice and start to enlighten people in Brunei about the senseless brutality and inhumanity they are supporting. It's all based on ignorance. It's really disgusting what Brunai wants to do, but about those hotels i wondered, what kind of hotels are these. Do "regular folks" go there or are they fancy luxurious hotels? There are many protests that do work, especially in the luxury goods industry, and none of these hotels here is cheap. People have choices. Whether this protest will work I don't know, but it sure brings attention to the issue, and does so far beyond the small circle of actual clientele. I now know about the topic, even though I would never have been be a customer at one of these places anyhow.
If somebody is searching for a job in the hotel business, it may be good for them to know, not to apply here. If somebody books reservations for their rich client as their administrator, assistant, or travel agent, they can book their client somewhere else.
It is certainly worth a try. Nobody says that other avenues of protest are not to be chosen in parallel, as I am sure they are.
The concern for the employees is certainly there, I get that. It is difficult. But here is my logic.
But anybody traveling to i.e. LA will have to stay somewhere. If certain hotels do not get the business, other hotels will. There needs to be a way for the world community to stand up against gross human rights violations that are sanctified by businesses or governments.

You are right in pointing out that the wide awareness of this cruel practice is certainly heightened by mentioning these high-end hotels. Even if the boycott itself does not have a big impact, the word is out there that Brunei is now on a world-wide "watch list" of citizens from all over the globe who are ready to fight against these terrible things. So, hotel boycott or not, the door has been opened and action can begin.
