This is a subject I have encountered on numerous occasion with regards to the age and sex of Johns fandom! And it is something I find both annoying and to an extent insulting to myself, fellow fans and John himself.

It is a subject that has been touched upon by fellow tweeters (who I must add I don't follow), bloggers and journalists alike. I am refering to the apprent fact that ALL Johns fans are both female AND of a certain age or 40 plus!

Of course those who follow @BarrowmanDay will know that we don't ALL fall into that supposed catagory at all. We have followers who are in their teens, followers who are male (and not necessarily gay) or both! I myself have a niece who loves him to bits and she's 12 in November! And what about all the children who love Captain Jack from Doctor Who...They ARE children, not 40 plus women! lol

Of course there are women who are of a certain age or who are 40 plus (dare I say it I fall in there! Eeeek), but isn't John (eeeek) also 40 plus? He's not a teeny bopper pop singer! (thank the gods!). He's a fabulously talented mature (I say that with tongue in cheek) entertainer!

What such comments go to show is that these people are incredibly ignorent of A: Who John Barrowman is and B: Who is fan base are! They haven't a clue and don't take the trouble to even look!

John Barrowman is not only talented, but he is able to appeal to a VERY broad spectrum of ages, sexual orientation, religion or what ever you can think of! I like to imagine that there are Aliens out there that love him as much as we do! lol

So you people out there who think John is just for women of a certain age...Try actually looking at his fan base, who they are and stop lazily making ridiculous assumptions and start doing some actual research about his fans before you insult them and him!

Here's is one article that triggered this blog. I added a comment under the name Mickie Newton! I even had a reply!  Swindon News
 
Below is a late night concoction I created to accompany my well wishes for the John Barrowman 2010 concert tour. The words in bold are all John Barrowman song lyrics. It's an address to you all and a plea for a US (L.A. specifically) John Barrowman concert. Enjoy.

Hey World!

What are you thinking of? You know how I feel. John Barrowman, I hope you don't mind all I ask of you. L.A.'s changed a lot over the years, trust in me when I say it's a new day. And some folks believe it's a fantasy, the gap between us is too wide. What I really mean is  c'mon big baby c'mon! I'll dance and I'll sing, I'll do anything for a concert here on Sunset Boulevard!  One night only! Oh there's lots that I can say and I don't wanna push, but what about us American BarrowFans? I know that you're bound to answer when I propose, anything goes. And it's all right with me. 

Yup that was cheesy, but that's just me, hope someone got a laugh out of it! High five to everyone who is going to the tour or who has seen a show already. I cannot wait to see the concert dvd! JB if you read this hope you have a great tour wherever it leads you. You're the Top.

This is something I put together to send my best wished to John Barrowman on his tour and to let him know his fans in the US are wishing him well. It's a play on the opening of John's show 'Tonight's the Night' but i bet you all knew that.

That IS me in the photo. The photo was taken by my friend Kristine and #BarrowIzed by i4dezign73. I came up with this idea while looking for pose inspiration via John Barrowman concert pictures. The mic is there because I needed to be doing something in the photo and I sing.

First of all let me thank you all for taking the time to follow both 'BarrowmanDay' on Twitter and our fansite.   This site was created out of a mutual love and respect for a talented and generous entertainer.  Over the past few months, lord how time passes by, I have been a bit absent from the both the site and Twitter.  I would like to express my apologizes for this absent. Although I am sure that some of you reading this, might not be too sure who I am. That is my own fault due to my absence. If you are interested, you can find out more out about me on the ' Meet The Girls ' page or at Twitter  as  @classic_dame. 

Seeing that tonight is opening night for the 2010 John Barrowman Tour, I thought I would purpose the great mystery question for us all.  " Why Do You Love John Barrowman?"   I invite you all to come forth and share the reasons. Why makes him stand out in your minds and hearts?  I want to know and I am sure  John would be interesting as well.

Let me get the ball going and share with you what make John stand out in my mind. Like many of you my first taste of John was from 'Doctor Who'. The dashing young captain from 1940's, who would not have been a bit curious as to who he was.  As time moved on we were granted  the complete glimpse of 'Captain Jack Harkness' via  'Torchwood'.  Barrowman is the quint essential performer. A bit of an old world charmer as you may say. In a time where most stars are worried about their next big blockbuster, the club they will spotted out  or what designer they are seen wearing , Barrowman is a breath of fresh air. In a world where success usually means you lose sight of who you are, he has held fast to who he is and where he came from. It is when we forget our past, our future becomes cloudy. There are certain people who come along and their honesty can be seen. Barrowman for me is a perfect gentleman to be a role model. He has pushed through the struggles of life, embraced his dream and never forgot or discarded those that helped him along the way. 

If you haven't read  'Anything Goes' or  ' I Am What I am' , I recommend both. If you are in a place in life that you are searching and trying to figure out who you are or if you are struggling to accept and embrace the wonderful creation that is yourself, I recommend that you read them. 

So please comment below and let me know what makes you love John Barrowman. 

With Love,
