Somebody put some pants on that girl! (Lady Gaga looks cold!)

Isn't it funny how pop stars are often mistaken for escaped mental patients based solely on their choice of attire (or lack thereof)?

And then there's Lady Gaga. For whatever reason, this picture reminds me of that Bette Davis movie - the one about the crazy woman who locks herself in a mansion, dresses up like Shirley Temple, and smears lipstick all over her face. Yeah. I can't get that movie out of my head now.

The random girl on the left, I'm guessing, is Gaga's personal assistant. I could be wrong, but judging from the mortified look on her face (yes, it's there - keep looking), I'm assuming she's an underpaid intern who is REQUIRED to escort Gaga arm-in-arm in what appears to be cold, nippy weather. (The scarf is a dead-giveaway.)

I love how Gaga - who's channeling Linda Evans, circa 1984 - remembered the pearls, the gloves, the Simon Chipmunk glasses and the bone-shaped Flinstones bun. But she forgot the pants! So in other words, if Dynasty had a baby with Hanna-Barbara, this is what it would look like.

Lady Gaga = supercalifragilisticexpialidelicious. She's playing around with the way the world becomes a stage when fame tracks you down. Plus, fashion is art is public performance, not necessarily something you could buy off the rack and wear around. It's a thought piece, not a dressing suggestion. gofugyourself.com does it hotter *and* in see through plastic pants.

Hi Larissa,

I would never compare myself to the FUG. They are the masters at making fun of celeb-fashion. I am fully aware that they do it way, way "hotter" than me.

Wow, see-through plastic pants. Didn't know that. My bad. (thanks for the heads-up)

I appreciate the fact that Gaga is not afraid to sport the plastic pants in front of God and everyone else. You go girl. But, even though her world is a stage...I still think it looks slightly ridiculous :)

But...that's just my opinion.

Thanks for reading!
