Quote of the Day

"In the deepest hour of the night, I confess to myself three things: I would die if I was forbidden to write, forbidden to love, or forbidden to fashion."

 -Lady Gaga

I guess fashion is a verb now. It should be!

What I Wore: Lady Gaga Fashion Moments

On Friday night  I went to a show at my old High School called GaGaPalooza. It was a senior showcase for the drama club performing only Lady Gaga songs. The entire thing was run one of my best friends and it was awesome! I am so proud of him (Friday was also his 18th birthday). None of the pictures that I took of the event were any good, so I will try to post some good ones later!

This is what I wore: my interpretation of the "Just Dance" video outfit, plus a lobster mask that I made!

I was trying to copy this look:

I also had a blue lightening bolt on my face:

By the end of the night, the blue makeup was smeared and my hair was ridiculous and I felt like Gaga in the "Just Dance" video (minus the whale humping) and I really believed for a moment that maybe I secretly was Lady Gaga....fun times.

While I was trying to figure out what to wear, I made a folder of some of my favorite Lady Gaga fashion moments ever. Here are a few:

And, to go out with a bang!

Lady Gaga is the Reason I will fail art history

For all of you kids who don't know: last night was the Met Institute Costume Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is hosted by Vogue and it is fabulous. This year's theme was "The American Woman" to go with the new exhibit.  Now that that's finished, on to important things:

Is there a reason that this is the only picture I could find of Lady Gaga at the Met Ball?

What has happened to you, O Sparkly One?  First you are invited by Prada but the only picture of you shows you wearing Armani? Also, the sparkliness of your, um, skin, is clashing with the different kind of sparkliness that is on those shoes. Then, you don't walk the red carpet, because you are supposedly too busy preparing for your performance to make a fashion statement. Um, what?! Why are we accepting this excuse? Have we forgotten the Grammys already?

Case in point:

And also:

This must be some sort of elaborate plot to make us (me) wonder about here even more than we (I) already do on a daily basis. DAMN IT GAGA. Why are you doing this to me? I hate you.

Just kidding, I take it back.  Please do not stab me with your crazy pokemon spear helmet like you did to the guy sitting behind you. I love you.

In other news, I should be writing a paper about Peruvian art, but I can't because I have too much ADD. Looking at pictures of Lady Gaga's outfits REALLY does not help.

The Greatest Thing In All The Land (Mika Cover of Poker Face )

My best friend just sent me this video of Mika covering Lady Gaga's "Poker Face".  She sent it along with the message: "OH MY GOD NIKKI this was made FOR YOU".

It is so very true. I am not a big fan of math but I do know that

Mika's Awesomeness + Lady Gaga's Fabulousness + piano + everything beautiful in the world =

Can they pleaaaase collaborate in the future? Can someone get on this?

I love it love it love it

In Other News

In other news, today is Vincent Van Gogh's birthday!

Happy Birthday Vincent Van Gogh!

Maybe he'll cheer up for a change.  Everyone loves you now, man! I'm sorry that she didn't!

Come on, you're bleeding in the cake. Oh that's paint? Well that's okay, we're used to that here.  Love ya!

In other other news:

♥  Lady Gaga's song "Alejandro" is apparently number 87 on the itunes charts

♥ These are pretty funny! I think they are really accurate.

♥ I WANT THIS. I would eat golden meals every day and of course, when life gives you lemons you paint that shit gold

♥ the rain was pretty intense today and I secretly enjoyed it


♥ DEADMAU5 was on Gossip Girl last night.

♥ David Bowie. Enough said.

If you are in NYC, come see my friends The Years Gone By play at Webster Hall tomorrow night! They are super rad.  Jetlag Gemini is playing too.  I will be there! Come say hi, I promise I'm friendly!  I'll be the girl with partially pink hair, probably wearing a TYGB shirt and losing ten thousand scene points while I smile and dance and sing all the words.  I told you they were rad. Pop punk will live forever! I accidentally wrote "love" at first instead of "live" but it is all the same.

Muppet Heads?!

HAHAHA why am I just seeing this now?

Jean-Charles de Castelbajac

And Gaga is wearing it! Oh Lady, I thought you knew better than that. Dead muppets DO NOT EQUAL clothes! :[

Poor animal! He was my favorite muppet.

Even though I think Animal and Andy Hurley look the same:

What do you think?

Things I Love This Week

It is very sad about Alexander McQueen. He will be remembered forever, this has been the death of drama, the death of and innovation. He is the true definition of tragic genius.

Here's a little round-up of posts dedicated to Alexander McQueen. If you posted something or know someone who did, leave it in the comments please.

♥ What Gala Darling has to say

♥ Haute Macabre posts some of their favorite pieces by McQueen

♥ On kissmyfashion

♥ Doe Deere's post

♥ Women's Wear Daily

♥ Polyvore's Tribute

However, life goes on and we must think about the good things in life that make us happy every day.

Here are some things that made me smile this week:

♥ My favorite band, Brand New, is going on tour!

♥ The Demoiselles = really awesome. Gooo, reeeaaaad!

♥ Doppleganger week on facebook was really funny. According to myheritage.com, I look like Camilla Belle, Mandy Moore, and Lalaine - from Lizzie McGwire! (I don't look like any of these people). It also told my roommate that she looked like the Japanese president, and told me that I looked like Mother Theresa. Haha! According to my friend Jack, I look like Marisa Tomei! According to my brain’s wishes, I look like Rogue from X-Men. I love her!

♥ I'm going to see Four Year Strong tomorrow night! I'm super stoked, I have never seen them live and I've heard that they are amazing.

Also, can someone get me this for Valentine's Day? Please?

♥ This picture of Lady Gaga is beautiful.

♥ This upscaled clothing designer reuses clothing and turns them into beautiful things to wear. PS, she graduated from Parsons!

♥ This snowman, who is clearly a student at The New School, was posted on the Look At This Fucking Hipster blog.

♥  Radical  Self  Love

Have a good weekend everybody!  I'll be running around all weekend, working for NYFW and tearing up the city!  Follow me on twitter for updates!  What's making you smile this week?

Lady Gaga Monster Ball Tour

On Wednesday Night, I attended the first of four New York dates on the Lady Gaga Monster Ball Tour.

It was, um, AMAZING. Of course.

I have been madly in love with Lady Gaga ever since the first time I saw the Just Dance video.

Glamophonic, electronic, disco baby!

Not the best pictures of me ever, I admit, but whatever! I'm sparkly!

Bee tee dubs, someone at the show asked me if my eye makeup was a decal- it is not. I painted on leopard spots with liquid eyeliner.  Maybe I'll do a tutorial ?

She is an amazing singer, dancer, and performance artist. She manages to be both mysterious and unbelievably candid.

Seriously, I love Lady Gaga. Any events including Gaga or her music are sure to include a. DANCE PARTIES b. OBSCENITY and c. DRESS UP FUN.  Three of my favorite things, woo!      ;]

We just like to party, like to p-p-party, yeah!

Things I Love

Hello lovelies! I hope everyone is having a fabulous week so far!
Right now I'm totally procrastinating taking a break and thinking about all the things I love this week!  Would you like to join me?



Here are some links and videos to get us started:

♥ THIS IS THE COOLEST THING EVER: an Austrian composer hacked a mechanical piano to recite text. WAY AWESOME.

♥ Greg Kadel Photography is all so glamorous! 

♥ And speaking of glamour, Glamour Kills Clothing just came out with their new winter line! 

  ♥ Remember this? Rihanna's performance of "Disturbia" at the 2008 VMA's. It was awesome!

♥ Possibly the most ridiculous BEST song ever.  There is a combination Taco Bell and Pizza Hut about a block away from my building, and I smile every time I pass it.  I always think of this song!


♥ This blog is like the virtual equivalent of a gossip packed sleepover in a coffee shop with your best friends.  It is written by the hilarious and lovely Aquarius Alexi Celine Wasser from Los Angeles, California. Go read it nownownow!


Other, non-internet-y things that I'm loving this week:


♥ How I Met Your Mother. Definitely one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. I recently got really into it, watched nearly every existing episode online and I am now HOOKED. Neil Patrick Harris = THE MAN. 
[But we all knew that.] 

♥ Anticipation! I'm going to see one of my favorite bands tomorrow: Hit the Lights !

♥ To Write Love On Her Arms 
If you don't know what this is, just go the the website and read it. They have done some awesome stuff and events on facebook like "Write LOVE On Your Arms Day" have really made it popular and helped to spread the word.


Love Eachother, Love Yourself!

♥ Also, school, fun assignments, graphic design, typography, my friends, long conversations through facebook comments on a picture, Lady Gaga, looking forward to Thanksgiving break and seeing friends, Japanese grocery stores, animal ear headbands, bubble guns, talking to cute boys, talking about traveling, making silly videos, being really corny, and all of you!

Okay, it's your turn. Don't hold back, now.  Grab a friend or three, play your favorite song, and shout it to the sky!
What are you loving this week?!

Bad Romance

If you haven't seen this video yet, DO IT NOW.

It is amazing!

As you probably know, I love all things Lady Gaga. I think she is a true artist. Her performance is fabulously over-the-top but she still gives off a down-to-earth vibe of acceptance.

Her new video, Bad Romance, is great in so many ways that I'm not even going to write about it....just watch it.  [And check out the McQueen!]

 

What's inspiring you today?
