Bacon and cameltoe dresses... The life of Lady Gaga

We have seen it all from Lady Gaga when it comes to fashion, but has she gone a little overboard? I mean at the MTV VMA's, Gaga wore a dress made entirely from meat. Yes I am not kidding you... meat. It is one thing to make a statement and be creative with your own unique style but to resemble an entrée for a pack of wolves is crossing the line.

As my mom says, "Lady Gaga is great... if you don't have to look at her." And honestly I have to agree with her. I am just so over her style and never knowing what bizarre assemble she is going to have on next. Now I am not discriminating on Gaga's talent or fame because she did walk away with many Grammy's, but sometimes I wonder if she dresses the way she does for attention? She has to be. Anyone who arrives in a giant dinosaur eggshell being carried by half naked men is screaming for attention. Incase Gaga wasn't aware the Grammy's was to honor a  number of people, not to have the whole show focused on what outrageous thing she is going to do next.

I have to say I don't agree with many of the outfits and neglect to see the message behind them. One trend she does successfully continue to achieve is her cameltoe conducive bottoms. This is not a trend I foresee anyone wanting to continue. I feel like every one of her outfits needs an explanation. Let me share with you what her idea of making a statement is...

Quoted from www.gofugyourself.com on Lady Gaga's Grammy arrival couldn't have been put any better. 

"And, trust, it’s not like I think the Grammys are the equivalent of the Nobel Prize or whatever, but I suspect everyone who was nominated for one, and who got to walk the red carpet, got pretty excited about their big night. And then this stupid Egg Being Carried In By Minions routine completely and totally drew every single bit of red carpet attention away from EVERYONE ELSE. To my mind, that’s not performance art — because it’s not being done to make a larger artistic point. The point it’s making is, “I’M HERE IN AN EGG LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME ME ME ME ME ME HOW ELSE CAN I FOLLOW A MEAT DRESS?” Honestly, I just think it’s bratty."

 In my personal opinion I think Lady Gaga is trying to mimic Madonna and lets face it...No one will ever be able to successfully do that. I wish Lady Gaga would just sing and stop relying on her outrageous outfits to give her fame.

Are you naked? Oh wait no its a nude colored dress.

So I haven't blogged in awhile because I have had the flu. For the second time, mind you. I pretty much could be flu season's poster child. Auditions? 


Anyways, after my last blog about the SAG Awards it sparked an idea about nude colored gowns. Aka: ACE bandages. 


Actually no I am kidding. I am not that opposed to nude colored dresses as they are making quite the appearance on the runways and red carpets. But there are some things you need to know before deciding to go streaking. 


I took a poll on Twitter through moxsie's buyerchat, which is fabulous by the way (@mayka runs the Twitter account for Moxsie.com) and came to the conclusion that it, "Seems like the crowd approves of nude that doesn't wash you out, styled with bright accent colors." 


But I don't think people really grasp the concept of what it means to be washed out so that is why I am here. As you know everyone has a different skin tone so one shade of nude to someone could look completely different on someone else. Tip: You do not match a dress to your skin tone. Why? Well, because then we don't know if you are even wearing a dress and that is just not okay.

 Here is Glee's, Lea Michele at the Director's Guild Awards in a tight fitted nude gown by Herve L. Leroux. Thank God for the contrast of the red carpet otherwise I wouldn't have known a dress is what she has on. From at least the waist up the dress gets lost because it blends too much with her skin tone. Agreed?

I love everything about Carrie Underwood and I am not trying to play favorites, but c'mon she knows what she is doing. There is a clear color contrast between her skin and the dress and with the added shimmer it doesn't leave people wondering if she is wearing just her birthday suit. Hands down to you Carrie.
