Going "Gaga" For Gaga

My heart is racing. I close my eyes, trying to convince my lungs to take deep, steady breaths while my brain is, contradictingly, going haywire. My fingertips tremble, and I can feel the glossy, fragrant pages of the magazine slip through my grasp and tumble to the floor. I stop. I sit. I breathe.

Alright, I'll admit it: my daydreaming really is getting the better of me. In reality, I am shocked, but not to the point where my body is curled into the fetal position and my cheek is pressed to the cold floor. The latest edition of ELLE sits open on my lap, pure beauty emanating from its pages as usual. The magazine is, naturally, open to the cover story, and this month, it's all about Lady Gaga. However, this is not exactly the shocking part. What I'm surprised to see is not the lovely photography, the breathtaking clothes, or Gaga's gorgeous portfolio. I am shocked because Lady Gaga is wearing pants.

Since the pants are so clearly there, Gaga is unsurprisingly topless. I suppose it's either one or the other with her. Also unsurprisingly, her clothing is unique and painstakingly fabulous. The incredibly high platform shoes, oversized hats, and geometrically skin-baring pieces flatter and satisfy, as the infamous Lady Gaga has been noted for over these past few years. Such beautiful photography, and an even more beautiful woman. Photographer Tom Munro has delivered again, making my love affair with ELLE magazine even stronger. By the way, I wouldn't object if any of you bought me the amazing Margiela leather jacket Lady Gaga is modeling for a Christmas present. Just saying ...

  6. She looks fabulous in this editorial! Thanks for sharing! I think regardless of what she wears, she'll stand out anyway. It's not just the clothing but her persona. I love the fact that she's very talented and smart as well though. People tend to forget that.
