"i love that lavender blonde"

so my birthday went great... got to see body worlds2 & have a nice meal with my boy. got to hang out with my dad & brothers at a sweet german restaurant the next day, and had a cute little brunch at my mom's the following day..... annnd.... might have had a sushi/ disney dance party last saturday with elyse. i may or may not post pictures from that when i get them judging on how embarrassing they may be. haha. anyway.

i can't help but be captivated by lady gaga's extremely catchy songs lately. i will admit that i even know part of the bad romance music video dance, and have it as my cell phone ring tone. however, i also can't help but notice how directly she has been influenced by some of my favorite models (ex: raquel reed, mosh, audrey kitching) and i SWEAR when i watched beyonce & lady gaga's music video "videophone" i could have sworn beyonce was actually raquel reed for a moment.


if you have no idea who these other models are, or don't know what exactly i'm referring to, fear not. allow me:

orange curly hair- lady gaga & raquel reed

ice cream cone hair- lady gaga & raquel reed

disc hair- lady gaga & raquel reed (& jeffree star)

bow hair- lady gaga & audrey kitching 

similar hair and makeup- beyonce (in a video with lady gaga) & raquel reed

mickey mouse style- lady gaga & raquel reed

furs & lingerie - lady gaga & raquel reed

couch orgy?- scene from lady gaga video & raquel reed shoot

dead-like in bathroom - scene from lady gaga video & raquel reed

black latex, ballet heels- lady gaga & mosh

red latex- lady gaga & mosh

black latex/ similar hair- lady gaga & mosh

 

metal corset pieces- lady gaga & mosh (& apnea)

lightening bolt/ star by right eye- lady gaga & mosh

granted, some of these might be a stretch. and also, it might be a little bit difficult for lady gaga's style not to remind of me, in some way, of some of the photos of models that i've followed & loved throughout the years. however, i can say for almost all of these that the models photos and styles came even years before lady gaga presented herself to the world as "an original artist".

she's great and all, but i guess i just want you to know the incredible influences in which she pulls from to make her, Lady Gaga

Raquel Reed

Mosh

Audrey Kitching
