Gaga rubbers up a fashion faux-pas
I think I'm having a deja-vu; just when you think she can't possibly go anymore "gaga"... she does. And so, it seems, does the rest of the celebrity world. Well, some of it.
Who am I talking about? The blatant clue is in the first line: Lady Gaga.
The lady is already well-known for her weird and wacky, often revealing outfits, or rather costumes, that would probably get most people arrested for indecency. And it appears to be rubbing off on a whole host of other celeb types. The fabulous Ri-Ri, on whom I and Cheryl Cole both share a "girl crush", at the Brits on Tuesday was sporting a rather tiny pair of pants and not much else as her stage outfit, and our very own Leona Lewis has even been having a dabble at designing her own outfits lately, being photographed wearing a giant pair of lips over her "bazookas". Saucy lady.
Still, never one to be out-shone, Lady Gaga has only gone ahead and pulled out another corker... or maybe I should say rubber (pun intended!). This time Ms Gaga has appeared on US morning show 'Good Morning America' wearing a flesh coloured latex outfit and hat with a rounded tip, inspired by a condom, no less. Oh she's a classy one isn't she? I mean, who doesn't want to go out dressed like a giant dildo?
There is a reason behind the outfit of course; Lady Gaga is spokeswoman for Mac's Viva Glam campaign which advocates for AIDS/HIV prevention and awareness, and she was going on the show to talk about safe sex. So naturally the first thing that would spring to mind to continue the theme is to make like a mans genitalia and wear a large version of the sheath that can prevent babies being made and diseases being passed on.... erm. You've got to hand it to her though - she may look ridiculous, but she's certainly a clever one. It's definitely grabbed the headlines and raised the campaign to our attention.
Personally, I would have perhaps gone down the line of wearing a totally 'hot' outfit and preened myself into the ultimate goddess so that kids everywhere would see me as some totally cool babe and think 'hey, she's like, totally hot, and if condoms are cool enough for her, then I'm like, totally going to use them too'. But then I guess that's not controversial or interesting enough to grab the headlines. So dressing up like a dildo it is then Gaga... whatever next.
