Lady Gaga x Millie Brown

I'm seriously on the fence about how I feel about this performance. First of all, vomiting makes me queasy and like seriously, after watching the performance makes my gag reflex reaction. I 100% stand by performance art and challenging the image of beauty but gagging like that seems dangerous for your body. And she starves herself for 2 days prior? I don't see how that can be healthy for your body or see the benefit of it in the end? The pieces are entirely beautiful but I don't think it's worth it.

How hard it is to be yourself, better yet, being a woman.

As I was doing my daily dose of Michelle before I sleep, I came across a few articles and comments that were really striking to me. First off, being yourself should be the overall concept to convey in any interaction, whether it is a performance, a conversation, or a writing. Some people have a harder time finding who they are, and some people don't get there right away. But once they find who they are, then let them convey that. Secondly, it is much harder to be yourself and a woman because we are scrutinized for every detail about us. We don't wear enough make up or we don't dress sexy enough, we are being too outlandish, too outspoken, not domesticated enough. Being criticized for not being "out enough," do you ever hear people say that person wasn't straight enough? I understand the concept of having an idol to look up to, but when the overall message being conveyed is music and an artist, Michelle shouldn't be scrutinized for it, and I look up to her for it. Being herself whatever the critics may say. But Lady Gaga shouldn't be seen as any lesser because she's more extravagant and wears meat dresses. Her outfits are an art piece in themselves and those convey messages of what she stands for and who she is. For me, being myself is my hair and it's not because I want attention. I think there is a beauty to having different coloured hair and expressing who I am through that. I was driving the other day and a car sticker said, "Stop your bitching and get back in the kitchen." That put me in an outrage because men are labeling women as housewives and still putting them in a box of what they can be. If that's what a woman wants to be than fine, more power to her, but if she wants to be more than that, she should have the right to be that.

In Ellen's words, "Be Cool. Be Kind. Don't Judge." Let's make this a peaceful, judge free world.
With that final note, Michelle and Gaga need to make new music. We've all been waiting.

Lady Gaga's My Idol

I can't even begin to express the multiple levels of appreciation I have for gaga. But this, is something that cannot go unnoticed.

First off, I'm super jelly of Emma for having direct contact with gaga. She's already got to personally meet her, conversate with her, and hug her. that would probably complete my life. Then to develop a relationship with her omg I'd die. Gaga would be the best BFF ever. Second off, Who does that? What kind of celebrity does this kind of kindness for a fan. It's one thing to keep in contact with Emma but to get her a surgery is true dedication. It's funny that this came up because a friend and I were talking about how other celebrities actions must be glamorized and noticed by the media. And that is sometimes purpose for them to get noticed that they are "giving back". But we felt that gaga put her fame to good use by being politically active and standing up for those who don't have a voice and reaching out to kids who don't have the same resources we do. I just happened to do my routine gaga stalking and this post came up. She's truly amazing and inspiring. If I were ever to have that kind of power, I hope to do the same.

Thank you mother monster for being the best you can be.

I'll follow you until you love me.

FINALLY got a new look up and did it with Fame. It actually looks quite ridiculous because I didn't realize it wasn't standing straight and I bought the small one so it isn't as striking as I thought it would turn out. But I'm still happy with the results. The inspiration for this piece was Bad Romance, as it was the first song I officially liked of Gaga's and after that I became a fan. Plus the dress resembles the liquid and I tried to add gold accessories but I don't believe it was apparent as I hoped. Anyway, I tried to emulate the bath house and I think that came across. It felt so cool wearing this crown and felt like a part of the video (I wish). I would have died and my life would have been made if I was in that video.
With that being said, paws up monsters and share the kindness.

#PinkHeadProblems

So my gaga tickets came in, I dyed my hair again, and Pretty Little Liars marathon is recording at the moment, and all is well. Born This Way Ball here I come!

Well, I said I would update when I re-dyed my hair and it has finally come. This time it took 6+ hours to do my hair cause there was not any freakin conditioner in the dye which I left out this time because I wanted it to last and be more pink. That was dumb. More problems we encountered this time around: 1. Took longer because dye was so thick. 2. My hair was splotchy for some weird reason because my hair wouldn't take the dye. 3. My hair is more shades of pink than last time. Don't get me wrong, I love the way my hair turned out, just upset at the inconsistencies with this dye...or my head for that matter. Used the same exact products except for the conditioner, not sure if that changes the properties of the entire thing but it was excruciating long. Tips I learned for this time: wash hair in cold water and avoid the sun, which sucks cause the weather is cooling down and need to take two showers just to wash hair separately. So much fun.

I'm super stoked I finally get to see season 3 of PLL. Hopefully my stupid DVR works and actually records it. It's been so unreliable lately and frustrates me because I haven't been able to watch Glee on my tv but on Hulu since Grey's Anatomy is playing at the same time. Dumb right?

Halloween is coming up and I haven't posted any new looks on LB. I know, I've been slacking. I have so many pieces in mind but been too busy to it them together. Maybe this weekend if I have time. So, if I don't post by Halloween....Happy Halloween and be safe.

Fame and Minnie Mouse

I'm excited to announce I have purchased Lady Gaga's fragrance Fame. It's literally perfection in a bottle. (Okay I am a little biased being a proud little monster, but it smells amazing!) I haven't gotten a chance to open the bottle yet, and I'm taking advantage of the little testers Macys gave with the purchase. I honestly can't even describe the smell, but it's so appealing that it's addicting.

Personally, bitch is expensive. Sorry mother monster, but every product you sell is exclusive and top notch and it's making me broke. I have all these Gaga items that I don't know what to do with but collect! I guess that's what I get for being a fan. What do you think of the fragrance?

I also purchased a few of the Minnie Mouse Collection by O.P.I. and let me say the Color of Minnie red is perfect! It embodies the colour of Minnie Mouse, her personality and is great for every occassion. I typically like a darker red for my nails, but after trying this colour on I had a change of heart. I also own If You Moust You Moust and it's a bubble gum pink that would work with Viva Glam Nicki lipstick. I have this obsession of matching my lipsticks with my nail polish, so let me know which lipstick would look best with The Color of Minnie.

Lastly, be sure to check out Office Depot and the Kindness stickies. I haven't actually discussed why this means so much to me but I fully support everything the Born This Way Foundation stands for. It's definitely not solely for homosexuals and transgenders, as some people believe, but significantly to promote anti-bullying and kindness to all beings regardless of their sexual orientation, race, gender, or national origin. I think the stickies and sharpies are a great way to remind people to be brave to prevent bullying and share kindness to those who need it most.

Taylor Dress

Yes, I own one of these. I tried to find the purple one online but I guess they no longer sell it on the website, which is weird since I just saw it in the store.
Anyway, love this dress and the details of the corset. I originally wore nude lipstick but totally forget it for this shoot. I think it looks great with heavy make up but Taylor pulled it off with light make up, so it really depends on your interpretation of the dress. Gold or silver jewelry works well, but wear a short chain to compliment the neckline of the dress.  As well as studs for earrings because you don't want to distract too much attention away from the dress. Once again, hair style is pin curling by Krista Bradford.

But now to the heart of the matter, Obama backing gay marriage is a huge step for equality. He knows this could possibly hurt his election campaign, but his stance will be supported by many. Please check out these links:

Read all the comments that WHATTHEBUCK puts on the video. If you have any human decency, you'll be enraged by the information too.

You are not alone Mr. President. We applaud you.
