David LaChapelle + Lady Gaga

 

As I previously mentioned, I am a huge fan of David LaChapelle, actually I just had someone go get me the new issue of Flaunt and send it to me from Chicago, (thanks Yiani, you see, there's no Flaunt where I am...) because it features  series of amazing images by LaChapelle. So, you see, a LaChapelle + Gaga project was something that was bound to attract me, and inevitably end up on here...

Good ol' LaChapelle, awesome new Gaga.

Gag(a) On This

Okay, I know this is getting a bit annoying with me posting Gaga stuff all the time, but really now, when everything (else) in the pop world feels the same; perfectly polished, pretty and full of industry-inflicted, image-refining, stereotype-defining restrictions on other people's craft, it's great to see that someone (other than Madonna, the occasional copycat) is keeping it real...

Though "fresh" wouldn't be the most appropriate word to describe what Gaga does, let alone this video, "ravingly different" is much more representative of the overall Lady Gaga experience... In this video: there are so many good (and even more creepy) stuff going on that to me it was an awesome overwhelming sequence of eye candy (though I could do without the "huge eyeball" segment). The "floating gems" part and the LaChapelle-esque scene with the bed on fire are just jaw-droppingly good.  

Directed by Francis Lawrence, with the (obvious) involvement of Haus of Gaga. Oh, and the song rocks!

Gaga Tour (Again)

I know, I know... Her again! Believe me, I'm not that obsessed, I just happen to like what she produces... in many ways apparently.

And I quote Lady Gaga's tweet: "the real monster ball poster. photography and art direction by. haus of gaga". And I add: A whole new (shiny) layer of appreciation! (Photo/Typo: Great!)

Fame Kills | West + Gaga

Kanye West acts like a cocky, self-centered, judgmental brat; that is a fact. A statement backed by what happened with Taylor Swift at the VMAs and this hilarious blog. Having said that, I now state that he is an utterly talented, über-stylish, very gifted artist and his tour with Lady Gaga will doubtlessly be a super extravagant/alternatively-pop/awesomely-stylized showcase of talent! I just had to post this 30-second promo video, five words: grain, slow motion, sans-serif.

Oops! It seems that the Gaga+West tour has been cancelled; Gaga will continue solo on this project... I guess it's officially unanimous and globally agreed that KW should've kept his mouth shut at the VMAs.
