Well hello lovers it’s been quite a while since my last blog, I hope you guys have been able to go on with your daily lives steadily without the consistent reading of my ranting blog... then again if you’re seeking that I guess you could probably start reading Perez Hilton HA! What a joke :) Anyways this may not be THEE most important thing happening in the world but it is and has prominently been on my mind for the past few weeks. You see I have this issue, NO it’s not psychological! But seriously, I’m having major issues with identity and what it means. Now I don’t want to go writing an essay because God knows we copped enough crap about identity at school but considering the people I look up to or find interesting are usually celebrities I started to take note.
Most of you would have noticed I’m an extremely judgmental bitch!Okay ree-lax, I’m not completely anal but I do enjoy fashion and often admire it on anyone from the woman at the supermarket to random train commuters, but more importantly CELEBRITIES! (I think I just had a Celebgasim... yes sadly I just said that, I’m sure most of you would know I’m CELEB CARAZYY!!!) You may also know I’m quite the realist and honestly no matter how much we pretty it up and say beauty is on the inside (which is true to an extent) we are human and we do identify people by there appearance and sense of fashion, whether its the woman in her daggy crocks (Shudder) or the girl with the hot Fendi bag.
Now I’m sure when you think of fashion icons, several names pop up such as Madonna, Michael Jackson, Audrey Hepburn, Twiggy, Elle Mcpherson, Kylie Monogue, Sienna Miller, Tyra Banks, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez and countless models. Each of these people, in my opinion rightfully DESERVE the term "Fashion Icon." The thing that irritates me most is that almost anyone can be labelled a "Fashion Icon" these days. Look I love lady gaga as much as the next person but for God sakes, why is she already claiming that title? I’m all for new trends and trendsetters in society but isn’t this just a little bit out of control? Are journalists at loss for words these days? Simply throwing around the title to any Tom, Dick, and Sally? Whilst I seriously do admire Gaga for her risk taking clothing and lets admit it if anyone of us tried to pull off some of her statement-making outfits we would look ridiculous but to compare her to Madonna? I think this is a clear case of history repeating itself.
The thing is lady gaga is being compared to Madonna, and even though I may not put Madonna in my top five favourite singers I have to admit the woman has her own style and her music is pretty darn catchy too! Now I can see the SLIGHT, I repeat SLIGHT similarities between the two artists but Gaga is a bit of a Madge wannabe, don’t you think? Not that that is wrong considering almost every girl at one point in her life would have died just to look like her, truth be told my thunder thighs will never be as toned as hers! So there we go... it has been said, I have acknowledged there is a resemblance but where is the identity? Whose is it? And could it be a case of stolen identity? Because if you ask me this is going to be the second worst case since the Travolta/Cage in Face Off! (I no slight exaggeration, but I love the movie and you know me trying to get my point across!)
Yet the most annoying revelation I’ve had after viewing my regular cycle of trashy magazines and random online articles is that not only is Gaga trying to move in on Madge’s identity, which is so understandable but WHY THE HELL IS KATY PERRY TRYING TO STEAL LADY GAGA'S IDENTITY? I know, I’m sorry I get a bit excited and type in caps but I just cant believe that Katy whose career began to rise at the same time as Gaga’s would actually belittle herself like that. I mean, how sad is that? It's bad enough Lady Gaga claims her beat is sick as she tries to take a ride on Madonna's glory stick but WHY is Katy embarrassing herself and mimicking an overnight sensation… when clearly the sun is still setting for both herself and Gaga??
Furthermore, what is with the faux lesbian act? I am appauled at her fake attempt to promote homosexuality, honestly she is actually exploiting and offending people who are in fact homosexual. I know this probably isn't my topic of expertise, but I have gay friends and I find it offensive that she has kissed up to 300 women around the world through purposely selecting a woman from her audience at each show, whereby they lock lips in an attempt to add entertainment value to her performance! Funnily enough Lady Gaga is a self proclaimed bisexual... anyone seeing an oddly shaped pattern here?? Ahhh its so highschool, I've attatched a few pictures of Lady Gaga as a brunette, taken in early 2007, whilst a similar looking Katy is featured in 2008... Ahh who was it that said a pictures tells a thousand words? Seriously, need I say more?
Ultimately though, It's just sad because Katy does have some talent and she is naturally cute but the poor thing has no chance in hell trying to compete with Gaga and her beehive/cone holding head :)
Sorry guys but I just had to conclude this entry with a Meangirls quote, "Gosh Karen (Katy) your so stupid!" As is the Music Industry... I say move on, try hiring a NEW stylist because I'm seriously over the singing clones!
As always with much love, Abi xxx
