That is bizarre, that how ordinary women look is not acceptable and subject to constant scutiny and criticism.<br /><br />I love Lady Gaga because she takes that stuff and pushes it to a creative extreme that she is in control of, the result, they hate it! Is it because 'they' aren't controlling and prescribing how she looks.<br /><br />Maybe more of us should follow her example.Some Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00445682612119273306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8099942440144697199.post-28729962655653598912011-11-08T06:09:51.274-08:002011-11-08T06:09:51.274-08:00The only thing I'd say about Gaga's stunts...The only thing I'd say about Gaga's stunts is that she can rarely come up with much of an explanation for them - when the meat dress thing happened, she said something about "I am not a piece of meat", and then something about "if we don't stand up for human rights, we're not worth the meat on our bones". Or maybe she did have a well-thought out reason and the media just failed to report it accurately. I wouldn't say she always does them for political reasons. Having said that, does she need an excuse/explanation for being outlandish? Yeah, it's self-indulgent and a bit ridiculous, but what's wrong with that?<br /><br />All that stuff about what would've made her album "better" is bullshit. I fucking loved her album - yeah, it's a bit samey, but it's full of storming chart-toppers and well-written dance music. <br /><br />To be honest, I think Lady Gaga makes a lot of people uncomfortable because she expresses herself in bizarre ways (e.g. <a href="http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2011/04/25/lady_gaga_considered_permanent_face_im" rel="nofollow">the face implants</a>), she's wildly successful, and she isn't afraid to be unsexy (e.g. <a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2011/08/29/who-is-jo-calderone/" rel="nofollow">her Joe Calderone male persona</a>, or <a href="http://celebrity-gossip.net/celebrities/hollywood/lady-gaga-kermit-the-frog-cutie-215854" rel="nofollow">her Kermit costume</a>). Plus, as you rightly pointed out, she's a great philanthropist who does a lot of good work, and no one ever mentions that (did you hear about her new project, the <a href="http://feministing.com/2011/11/04/lady-gaga-launches-born-this-way-foundation/" rel="nofollow">Born This Way Foundation</a>?). It's always back to the meat dress thing.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15443448945550044210noreply@blogger.com
