Quote of the Day

"I don't really care for [Lady Gaga]. I know everybody think she's really great, and fashion people are happy because she's one of the few girls who will wear a look off the runway. But having grown up with people like Debbie Harry and Alice Cooper and Kiss, I just don't really see anything very original about what she's doing. I don't like her style. I find it to be very violent. She looks like Dolly Parton after a murder." -- Fashion PR powerhouse Kelly Cutrone

The image of Dolly Parton after a murder IS fantastic! And the fact that Debbie Harry, KISS and Alice Cooper haven't had much in the way of full-on-freak protégés for 20 years is exactly why GaGa is so welcome. She is a disco stick in the eye of the corporate cloned pop stars we've been saddled with since the late 80s.

Lady Gaga looks and sounds like something that Kate Bush would keep locked away in her attic, like a precious treasure. We need her.

To follow up my first post, I too grew up on KISS (hell, my mom painted us kids up and we had a concert on the front yard!) and Dolly Parton. Guy singers wore make-up and Annie Lennox wore suits. EVERYBODY in the pop world embraced their freak. It was awesome.

Since the first time I saw GaGa, I thought she was the love child of Elton and Bette Midler... who was raised by Grace Jones..... at a moon-based boarding school.

To the extent that there really aren't any original ideas anymore, and everything old is new again, I don't know why this nasty canker of a woman's opinions should be seen as anything other her feathering her own nest.
