What I Like about Lady Gaga- Bad Romance

LAday Gaga's latest artistic masterpiece is most likely going to be played in video bars of Europe to douchebag clubs of the Jersey Shores. Lady Gaga's world collides slick advertising & performance art. From the intro with the iPod enabled Parrot By Phillippe Starck to Alexander McQueen ensembles most notable the shoes, Nemiroff Lex Vodka (Ukranian), Benjamin Cho Polar Bear Dress to Carrerra Sunglasses. I can't discern the lingerie, the latex dresses, PVC bodysuit or diamond encrusted head piece brand. She pays homage to Thierry Mugglier with the Saturn Ring suit she notoriously wore on SNL but all these objects are just accessories to the force that is Lady Gaga. I did find something unsettling about the video. The video is obviously digitally enhanced much like the movie 300. Obviously her eyes were enlarged in the tub scene but what caught my attention was her waist which was ridiculously skinny in the shower scene. Does this purvey Fashion's obssession anorexic/bulimic models? Overall the video is her collaboration with Francis Lawrence of a doe eyed girl molded into a prostitute for the Russian Mafia to push her pop art perspective morphing into the Monster that is her unique point of view.
