From yesterday - I did not find the Eber interview that first mentioned the $50K job.... but here is a report from a blog. The original report is on SDNN somewhere. 2. Between musical theater jobs in 2003, Lambert worked at a cosmetics counter in an L.A. department store. His makeup and people skills were so admired, the cosmetics company offered him a $50,000-a-year job as a cosmetics demonstrator/trainer, but he turned it down to follow his performance dreams.

Six things you may not know about Adam Lambert
2. Between musical theater jobs in 2003, Lambert worked at a
cosmetics counter in an L.A. department store. His makeup and
people skills were so admired, the cosmetics company offered him
a $50,000-a-year job as a cosmetics demonstrator/trainer, but he
turned it down to follow his performance dreams. A year
later, he hit a career low when his father declined to lend him
money to record an album and they had a brief falling-out. He
eventually found work as a blond-haired football player in the
execrable "Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical" in Lake Tahoe. The
show was so bad, Lambert wouldn't let anyone in his family come
see it.

Script for Glitter and/or Photo Text & Links:  June 26 - November 9, 2003 "Hair" - 2003 European Tour Hair Story Synopsis en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_%28musical%29#Songsatop.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=preidolperformances&thread=21&page=10#10416stop   Claude, the nominal leader of the "tribe", sits center stage as the
tribe mingles with the audience. Tribe members Sheila, a New York
University student who is a determined political activist, and
Berger, an irreverent free spirit, cut a lock of Claude's hair and
burn it in a receptacle. After the tribe converges in slow-motion
toward the stage, through the audience, they begin their
celebration as children of the Age of Aquarius ("Aquarius"). Berger
removes his trousers to reveal a loincloth. Interacting with the
audience, he introduces himself as a "psychedelic teddy bear" and
reveals that he is "looking for my Donna" ("Donna").
The tribe recites a list of pharmaceuticals, legal and illegal
("Hashish"). Woof, a gentle soul, extols several sexual practices
("Sodomy") and says, "I grow things." He loves plants, his family
and the audience, telling the audience, "We are all one." Hud, a
militant African-American, is carried in upside down on a pole. He
declares himself "president of the United States of love" ("Colored
Spade"). In a fake English accent, Claude says that he is "the
most beautiful beast in the forest" from "Manchester, England". A
tribe member reminds him that he's really from Flushing, New
York. Hud, Woof and Berger declare what color they are ("I'm
Black"), while Claude says that he's "invisible". The tribe recites a
list of things they lack ("Ain't Got No"). Four African-American tribe
members recite street signs in symbolic sequence ("Dead End").
Sheila is carried onstage ("I Believe in Love") and leads the tribe
in a protest chant. The tribe reprises "Ain't Got No (Grass)".
Jeanie, an eccentric young woman, appears wearing a gas mask,
satirizing pollution ("Air"). She is pregnant and in love with
Claude. Although she wishes it was Claude's baby, she was
"knocked up by some crazy speed freak". The tribe link together
LBJ (President Lyndon B. Johnson), FBI (the Federal Bureau of
Investigation), CIA (the Central Intelligence Agency) and LSD
("Initials"). Six members of the tribe appear dressed as Claude's
parents, berating him for his various transgressions – he does not
have a job, and he collects "mountains of paper" clippings and
notes. They say that they will not give him any more money, and
"the army'll make a man out of you". In defiance, Claude leads the
tribe in celebrating their vitality ("I Got Life").
After handing out imaginary pills to the tribe members, saying the
pills are for high profile people such as Richard Nixon, the Pope,
and "Alabama Wallace", Berger relates how he was expelled from
high school ("Goin' Down"). Claude returns from his draft board
physical, which he passed. He pretends to burn his Vietnam War
draft card, which Berger reveals as a library card. Claude agonizes
about what to do about being drafted.
Two tribe members dressed as tourists come down the aisle to
ask the tribe why they have such long hair. In answer, Claude
and Berger lead the tribe in explaining the significance of their
"Hair". The tourist lady states that kids should
"be free, no guilt" and should "do whatever you want, just so
long as you don't hurt anyone." She observes that long hair is
natural, like the "elegant plumage" of male birds ("My
Conviction"). She opens her coat to reveal that she's a man in
drag. As the couple leaves, the tribe calls her Margaret
Mead.
"Where Do I Go?"
The nude scene at the end of Act I.
Sheila gives Berger a yellow shirt. He goofs around and ends up
tearing it in two. Sheila voices her distress that Berger seems to
care more about the "bleeding crowd" than about her ("Easy to
be Hard"). Jeanie summarizes everyone's romantic
entanglements: "I'm hung up on Claude, Sheila's hung up on
Berger, Berger is hung up everywhere. Claude is hung up on a
cross over Sheila and Berger." The tribe runs out to the audience
with fliers inviting them to a Be-In. Berger, Woof and another tribe
member pay satiric tribute to the American flag as they fold it
("Don't Put it Down"). After young and innocent Crissy describes
"Frank Mills", a boy she's looking for, the tribe participates in the
"Be-In". The men of the tribe burn their draft cards. Claude puts
his card in the fire, then changes his mind and pulls it out. He
asks, "where is the something, where is the someone, that tells
me why I live and die?" ("Where Do I Go"). The tribe emerges
naked, intoning "beads, flowers, freedom, happiness."en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_%28musical%29#Songs
