Jumpin' on the GaGawagon

(...Yet again.)

So everyone else has already spoken about this but I feel I can’t not.
Lady GaGa. The raw meat dress.

Yes, for those who somehow don’t know, (maybe you're amish and haven't a TV, I'm not judging people who metaphorically live under hypothetical rocks here) one of GaGa’s three VMA dresses was made of raw meat. Apparently it was a comment on the US army’s policy on homosexuality (I’m not sure how, but that’s GaGa for you). Now personally, when i first saw the dress pictured, I didn’t even realise it was the meat dress. I’m not even kidding. I was like “that dress looks pretty cool” (I only glanced.) In fact compared to the Alexander McQueen ensemble (yes- complete with the Armadillo shoes)(I forgot to mention breathtakingly STUNNING) it looked rather tame. Then of course I read the caption and realised it was the infamous meat dress.

But I have to say, I’m pretty impressed. I mean, for a dress made of meat it looks damn hot! I especially like the details, with the matching meat-wrapped shoes and little meaty hat thing and the fishnets. Imagine putting a meat dress on over fishnets! Outrageous! Incredibly, she wore raw meat and still a damn sight better than a lot of others did.

(I’m looking at you Cher. The body stocking from the 21 year old ‘Turn Back Time’ film clip? WHY?!)

She may be crazy, but she’s still a genius. (GaGa. Not Cher. Just clearing that up.)

p.s. I told you I had something non-travelly and not even me related to blog didn't I? Oh I've missed these posts...

EDIT: 69th post wew. About GaGa. How funny.

I think I'm in love...

Absolutely amazing. Love what she did with the melody of BR at the start. Gorgeous. Also love that it shows how well she can really sing.

Gorgeous GaGa

Just want to say I think Lady GaGa looked absolutely STUNNING on the Grammys red carpet. Thankyou Giorgio Armani!

Although I must say- give the girl a sandwich! She was so sexy and now she's wasting (or should I say waisting?) away.

Basking in doing nothing today, since there won't be much of that once my new job starts. But I will be able to go crazy buying clothes in Europe so it'll be worth it. But the New York plan is on hold for a year. It's just not looking possible right now. Thailand or New Caledonia or something may be a possible replacement for a nice beachy chill holiday.

Also, I bought this really cute necklace from GPco yesterday after my interview. I can't find a photo online but I'll put one up when I wear it. Also, I've decided i want to invest in some Cheap Monday jeans. I mean, they're like $90 and they have this really nice indigo colour that I've been looking for. I'll wait till it cools down a bit though so I can justify the spending.

I'm itching to go out and wear my new shirt so much! Grr...

GaGa for McQueen

So, in a not-so-surprising turn of events, who appears to be the only person in the world willing to wear shoes from Alexander McQueen's S/S10 line? None other than Lady GaGa. Sunday, I was sitting in my loungeroom (and by sitting it's probably most accurate to say reclining, on my fabulous couch. It truly is a GREAT couch. Ask anyone) and the filmclip to to Miss GaGas most recent single, Bad Romance came on. I saw those bizarre shoes and went "Oh jeez... Alexander McQueen" and a few scenes later, what came out? The infamous hoof shoes. Clearly GaGa is a fan.

Now, despite the fact that I'm not such a fan of the shoes, here are some reasons why we should still love Alexander Mcqueen:

1. The S/S10 dresses are exquisite. Seriously. The colours are just entrancing- truly gorgeous. Wearable? perhaps not. Admirable? certainly.

2. His clutches. Do I really need to go on a "Oh-how-I-love-McQueen-clutches" rant? They're gorgeous... I mean the skull clasps are just adorable, and he pioneered the recent boom in my favourite types of clutches.

3. Though those shoes aren't exactly day-to-day wear, I'm sure Mr. McQueen is fully aware of this. He's truly pushing the boundaries, and his designs are instantly recognisable. And, it got me talking.

On the subject of strange filmclip-fashion: Beyonce's Diva filmclip. Ok, seriously, what is with those "sunglasses"? For those who haven't had the delight of such insane eyewear, here:

I thought Kanye's venetians were bad enough. Are we trying to block UV rays, or haterrzz?

On the topic of sun-blocking eyewear (I know, me? on topic?) I bought my Raybans on Monday. They're so beautiful... I also got 2 bikinis ($60 for both, from Target. Oh Targaaaayyy, how i love you) and this pair of high waisted shorts that look like an old pair of 80s jeans that I've cut up, but are actually from Supre aka sluthut (the shame... But there's no way I'd find 80s jeans in vinnies that fit me so well so....)

I'm going to Parra today for some pre-schoolies hair removal and A bit of a browse. there's this top at Bardot I'm gunna get. I will post photos of such purchases eventually.

3 days 'til Schoolies! Oh the excitement

All for now.
