Not record sales figures as well? I think the slave auction works on several levels ( as does a lot of her work). I see it as talking about being a slave to the industry that she’s in, as well as a more personal statement.
Crack? Looks more like Crystal Meth to me : )

Hi, here is a further observation that you may find interesting. The spinal enhancements ( which, if you look closely at the neck area,you will see stand several inches tall and resemble a scaled down Stegosaurus ) are strongly suggestive of the pronounced spine on ” Oracle” figure carvings from Papua New Guinea. I am not implying that this is what she based her imagery on, only that i see her as an oracle and so made a personal connection.Nevertheless, it is an example of a similar image from a different culture.
Whilst some people dismiss Lady Gaga as contrived and artifical, many of us think that she is extremely truthful, and has a guiding light. She invites everyone to join her world, but especially those of us who are socially marginalised.( I am a post operative male to female transsexual,In the UK there are about 6,600 of us,out of a population of over 60,000,000). Lady Gaga’s world feels very safe to many of us ( the marginalised, not just transsexuals lol ), much safer than the real world.
She encourages us to be proud of who and what we are, and only asks us not to be Haterz or hypocrites. The meat dress ( which was coture sp? stiched, not just thrown together) was just such an attack on hypocrisy.It was aimed at several targets, including a group i belong to – vegetarians who wear leather. This focused my mind on my own hypocrisy, and i am determined to become vegan this year.

This is NOT anorexia.
Firstly she is being a monster.
Secondly are you totally clueless as to how sexy many people find spines?Lady Gaga knows this,and knows the effect that the spinal enhancements would, have had on many of us.Totally Totally HOT.
A worthwile target for you to aim at would be the transphobic attitudes of most feminists.
Lady Gaga is about love, most feminists are bigoted Haterz.

i think that this whole controversy was blown so out of proportion. Its is part of the storyline. That
one little clip has people going crazy over her being “anorexic”. She’s not anorexic, its called movie effects
and make-up for the spine. LOVE YOU GAGA<3

She is not anorexic in the video.
She is portraying a lizard or “chameleon” if you will.
The song is about bad romance. Bad relationships.
Bad relationships can start with a chameleon personality when a person portrays something they are not.

If girls are going to be so weak in character so that they follow some person on tv that they dont even know, then thats a fault in their upbringing…its just entertainment and lady gagas artistic expression…and btw younger girls/boys viewing things like this, then thats the parents fault for not being attentive enough as to what their children see..because your right younger audiences should not be subject to this however this is not GaGas faultif they do see it its the parents of the younger children.

She is exploiting our cultures objectification of the female form for her own material gain and i think thats really wrong. She is just setting a bad example to all girls who follow her.

Anyway, this is a fascinating perspective on this subject. Please update this blog regularly! Also, do you allow your readers to send in questions they want to personally know more about? Right now I have a specific question on this topic because I am suffering through a complicated situation with a woman I have a crush on and I’m just not sure how to move forward. I’d like to get your input…or maybe someone can recommend a book that I ought to check out?
