After dropping an amazing dance album and prancing around in front of the paparazzi wearing nothing more than leotards and Alice in Wonderland garb for a little over a year now, Lady Gaga was more than overdue for a cover of Rolling Stone.
However, what the tiny woman didn't deserve -- in no way, shape, or form might I add -- was the honor of looking like a fucking fool for her huge American publishing debut.
When the issue made its way into my mailbox this spring, I was absolutely floored. I couldn't believe that no one in her camp -- either friend or someone from the record label -- tapped her on the shoulder and said, "boo, please don't the bootleg Hussein Chaylan number anymore. You're better than that." Even better, "Gaga, Rihanna is one of your contemporaries. You need to drop the DIY and step it up."
The hair, the lips....it was too much.
No worries, though. It appears the fashion pros have finally decided to aid and abede Miss Gaga as she tries to take over the scene one peroxide wig at a time. Last Friday, V magazine threw up a behind-the-scenes clip of their forthcoming issue with the singer on its cover. While the mini video only acts as a mere teaser, it shows Nicola Formichetti wrapping the blonde in Givenchy and Balmain which should bode well for what the rest of the spread will look like.
Hopefully, Gaga Does High Fashion Shoot: Take Two turns out much better than the initially go around. Fingers crossed.
