Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" Video Is Fashionably Gaga
Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" music video is fabulous, in rather crazy way. The story that goes with it is more like one of her illusions/delusions during those "high" moments:
"There's this one shot in the video where I get kidnapped by supermodels. I'm washing away my sins and they shove vodka down my throat to drug me up before they sell me off to the Russian mafia."
But the array of fashion-monster clothes plus the lobster-claw shoes from Alexander McQueen's spring 2010 collection are just fascinating. And the make-ups and hairstyles are crazy cool. And considering that she survived prostitution by burning the mafia boss in the end, it's an eccentric retelling of the tough female spirit:
"I wanted to design a pair for some of the toughest chicks and some of my girlfriends - don't do this at home! - they used to keep razor blades in the side of their mouths. That tough female spirit is something that I want to project. It's meant to be, 'This is my shield, this is my weapon, this is my inner sense of fame, this is my monster.'"
Could Lady Gaga be telling us that her fashion is for the tough female spirit? Just asking.
