Watch this! Damn farnie lah! hahhahaha!
AND I STILL LOVE LADY GAGA! I LOVE HER COSTUMES! THEY ARE SOOOO LOUD!!!!
She reminds me of Madonna, like a style icon, and a chameleon.
Yes! I think that Madonna is damn damn good at marketing herself! I decided to write about her for my last school's blog entry for school-work ( yes! that was wad i was busy with! it is considered as an important assignment too! haha! wish me luck plz!
: 0 ) because she interests me ( better to write about sth that i would not be bored writing about! haha! ) , and i think she's the best example of a pop icon who is damn good at retaining the media's attention ( using the media to her advantage, instead of evading the media, same like Paris hilton! for self-promo!- the creation of her ( Paris Hilton's ) on-screen personality, an alter-ego,''Barbie'', utilizing the personality of the conventional EXAGGERATED ''bimbo'' stereotype that interests everyone! And that alter-ego and personality works well in the entertainment line! That's really really brilliant! ) , ( back to Madonna ) and still keeps people interested in her till today. She still sits on the throne of pop culture till today. Everything about her can be commercialized- her clothes, her pictures, her style, her books, her everything. She's a really smart businesswomen! She's a legend!
And she keeps updating her looks!
I couldn't recognize her from her Louis Vuitton bag ads actually.
Saw it so many times on mags. But totally couldn't recognize her!
The bunny ears are nice!!!

Pop culture. Flashy flamboyant outfits. Various disguises. Adventurous personality. Experimental music. Tangible Strong stage presence. Charisma. Influences. Controversies. Out-right provocative sexiness. Gay Culture. Contradictions( except for this! ) . Feminism ( except for this too! ) Pop art. All these makes Madonna, Madonna. ( And i spot the same similarities in Gaga too! )
And it's interesting.....coz...the same women actually embodies the opposing characteristics of a good mum, a protective maternal figure, and is the successful author of a popular children’s book- The English Roses.
It almost seems like this pop icon has developed for herself different distinctive complex, extreme alter-egos which plays different extreme roles simultaneously in society.....that of a commercial entertainer who embraces controversial attention and publicity, a responsible mum, an emotional ballad singer ( the Damsel in Take a Bow MV ), an empowered individual ( her rags to riches personal life-story ), an astute and opportunistic businesswomen, as well as an established author. In fact her name is a direct contradiction in itself, as Madonna is actually the name of Virgin Mary, and the image of pure virgin Mary is a blatant contrast to the provocative sultry siren Madonna portrays herself to be....
And back to Gaga!
It's like the marketeers know how to lift her up from the pack. And her identity is soo sooo strong.
People would go like ''That's so Gaga!''. It's her individualistic style!
Merry Early X'mas Everyone! I love the world today! haha!
