Only Lady Gaga can make Raw Meat look Fashionable!

Lady Gaga is my hero! Photographed by the famous awesome Terry Richardson.


Raw meat?!?! She really pushes fashion and photography to the extreme! To be able to do this is extraordinary and iconic. This cover shall certainly be remembered as one of the most 'gutsy' magazine covers for 2010, if not this decade!

Looks like Vogue Hommes Japan REALLY love Lady Gaga as she recently did a photo shoot/cover where she looked like a man (under the name of  Jo Calderone) Check out more from that shoot here.

Photograph of the Day > Lady Gaga by Nobuyoshi Araki




This image is certainly the most erotic 'Photograph of the Day' feature; with Lady Gaga dressed in nothing but a rope constrained around her. This is bondage photography to the extreme! But you can't expect anything less from (pornographic) Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki. Despite this image being 'uncomfortable' for some viewers Araki has managed to capture Lady Gaga's wild character and her inner 'Marilyn Monroe' glamour. The coloured paint splotches slightly conceals the mature content of this photo whilst adding a vintage vibrant effect. Even though 'bondage' is associated with pain and S&M this photo doesn't convey any of that as Lady Gaga smiles naturally at the camera. Some may say this is beautiful, others grotesque; but when it comes to Lady Gaga, the least you can expect is a single opinion. Bravo for out roar.

This 'New Star' shoot featured in Vogue Hommes Japan with fashion direction by Nicola Formichetti, and styling by Shun Watanabe.

Lady Gaga actually looks like a man!

I was talking to my awesome friend, Swebb and were admiring how amazing Lady Gaga was. So I decided to search for her on Just Jared  (http://justjared.buzznet.com/)  and found that she had done a shoot for Vogue Hommes Japan where she genuinely looks like a man! It's no surprise that she's modelled for Vogue Hommes as she can get away with men's attire! These photos will be published in the September issue and Lady Gaga will go under the name Jo Calderone.

Lady Gaga constantly pushes the conventional idea of what fashion is as she's always challenging new styles and creating her own trends. Here, she's even changing genders! This is quite amusing seeing as there has been so many rumours about her being a hermaphrodite and what her sexual orientation is etc. This shoot simply shows how versatile she is as an artist, model and icon.

I love you Lady Gaga!
