lady GaGa on the clackers

dinner videos

I've realised I've been doing very formulaic posts of late. AND I'M EXCITED HENCE THE USE OF CAPS, SO I AM SHOWING YOU SOME VIDEOS THAT I LOVE.

The reason I love Lady Gaga so much. I think someone killed me with a disco-stick, and sent me to Lady Gaga heaven again and again. AND AGAIN. For the entire duration of the video.

Oh gosh, I love this video so much. And I am an instant Bieber fan convert.

I think this may need some introduction. In this video, there's this girl called Tavi. I don't think she's any awesome, wearing some sort of Jil Sander sweater thingum and gold shiny Miu Miu mini-skirt. I seriously don't. Honestly, I've never heard of her before, but someone told me she's a very famous old lady. But for Spencer, it's a totally different story. Spencer is my favourite person ever, and I mean favouritest person ever. And he was the original creator of that hairstyle, I think they call it the "Bieber". He was first, I've been following him since 1978. Justin Bieber is just a copycat, who happened to become famous. Bleh. But anyways, this video is the cutest. EVER. It's for a magazine, FIRST KISS!

I was jokin' about Tavi but whatever I said about Spencer was true though!

alexander mcqueen, this is a song for you. because I hate that you're a genius.

UPDATE: TO CLEAR ALL MISUNDERSTANDINGS, THIS SONG WAS WRITTEN JUST BEFORE THE NEWS OF HIS DEATH. GOD BLESS MCQUEEN AND HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

So in the spirit that I'm feeling like a retarded crazy freak today because tomorrow is a school holiday and me feeling like very song-writer-ish (which I still strongly believe I am possessed by Tavi), here is a song that I've written for Alexander McQueen. (To the tune of Bad Romance).

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh

Come fuck me, A-McQueen

(Just jokin')

Ga-Ga-ah-ah-ah-ah

Muh-uh-Muh-uh-uh-uh

Ga-ga-ooh-la-la

I want your brain, man.

Ga-Ga-ah-ah-ah-ah

Muh-uh-Muh-uh-uh-uh

Ga-ga-ooh-la-la

I want your brain, man.

I want you, sexy.

I want your disease.

I want you Alexander,

Your geniosity

I need your love.

(LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, I WANT YOUR LOVE.)

I saw your drama,

The cutting of clothes

You mocked Dior's New Look, You did houndstooth

I want your clothes,

Ar-ma-di-llos

(Armadillos, I need them both).

You know that I want you,

And you know I wanna love you,

Alexander McQueen, my McQueen.

I want your brain,

You can never have your revenge.

I need to have your Spring collection

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh!)

I want those prints

And I want those shoes

They are so fucking amazing baaaad ass.

Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh!

Caught in a bad romance.

Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh!

With my Alexander McQueen.

I saw the 90s.

Your grad collection.

I saw them and fell in love

Had A Hernia

Her-Her-Her-nee-ya

Had A Hernia

(Ah-Ah-Ah, You love GAGA).

You know that I want you.

(Cause I'm a freak bitch,baby)

And you know that I need you

You're a muthafucking genius.

You spray-painted clothes

You cut them up, You hate Gi-ven-on-chy

(Oh-oh-oh-oooh)

LVMH was a fool to not employ you.

You are effing ah-mazing.

And I can't write this song anymore.

Because I realised I fell out of tune halfway.

HAHAHA

(HA-HA-HA-HA-HA)

Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 99

Blue lace. And I totally love the structure and the volume of the dress. I can already imagine the the dress swaying left and right to the motion of the body...then again, don't even dare to try. My brain exploded while trying to do so.

Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 99

The hair is kinda reminiscent of Spring 09. And I totally approve of underwear being made in leather.

Alexander McQueen Spring Summer 98

Metal Ribcage and Spine. It's kinda sick when you imagine the dress on your body, just the shape (especially the spine) gives me goosebumps. Never really like bones that you can feel its shape just by touching it.

Alexander McQueen Spring Summer 98

This was the show (Entitled "The Golden Shower") where "rain" fell upon the models as they walk calmly down the runway.

Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 99

The infamous show that Alexander McQueen did for Givenchy. Robots spray painting white dresses and the model's expression is classic. Damn, why wasn't I at that show?

I LOVE THIS MAN.

UPDATE: JUST 1 HOUR AFTER WRITING MY SONG ABOUT ALEXANDER MCQUEEN, ALEXANDER MCQUEEN IS REPORTED TO HAVE COMMITTED SUICIDE. LIFE IS A BITCH. ONE DAY YOU ARE GUSHING ABOUT HIS GENIOSITY, THE NEXT YOU'RE MOURNING ABOUT HIS DEATH. THIS POST WILL AND FOREVER BE DEDICATED TO ONE OF THE GREATEST DESIGNERS IN FASHION EVER. RIP. ALEXANDER MCQUEEN. I WILL REMEMBER YOU FOREVER. I WILL SING THIS SONG WHENEVER I MISS YOU.

i keep on forgetting that i was born in the 90s. i have a strange feeling that i came from the 80s.

Another reason why I absolutely love the 90s (apart from the original supermodels age and awesome Gianni Versace ads) is that it's amazing to see how far designers have come to achieve their status today. Alexander McQueen for example used to do really freaky and creepy, out of the world stuff, that may not definitely be seen as pretty in the 90s but his design aesthetics of today can be seen as mind-blowing AWESOMENESS DISGUSTINGLY PRETTY but with a slight crazy edge (you just can't wash the craziness out of McQueen). That's how amazing stuff is. And another reason why I love the 90s is that a fashion show was never just a fashion show. I think Hussein Chalayan was crazy-amazing when it came to presenting his clothes. And it's funny to see how editors in the past used to see Rei Kawakubo and Issey Miyake's work as weird and largely unwearable but now these editors are begging (maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit) to have Comme in their publications. History just loves to poke fun at people, spit at their faces and stomp on their toes.

Viktor and Rolf

This I swear is not a real person. I got so freaked out seeing this in the middle of the night, and I swear her eyes were following me whenever I go. Until I chose to deceive myself that she was just a doll.

Viktor and Rolf

OMG, I have no idea why, but the Alice of Alice in Wonderland looks exactly like this in my head.

Elsa Schiaparelli Fall 1937-38

Oh hi, you must be Stephen Jones grandmother and Isabella Blow's long lost sister. No, seriously.

Issey Miyake Spring 1991

This is so Lady Gaga-ish (that's a compliment by the way if you didn't notice that. If so then you're either a douchebag or Taylor Swift or both). And this should be in the "Museum of Amazing Awesome Things that Should Never be Shown Beside the Mona Lisa Because It Will Make her Look Like She's Wearing a Monk's Robe".

Comme des Garcons 1999-2000

This reminds me of Comme Fall 09. It's like Rei draped my mother's 80s prints over my grandmother's ancient rug.

Hussein Chalayan.

Hussein Chalayan, is a genius. The way he presents his clothes is kind of intriguing.

The first photo is kinda crazy. The skirts are actually draped over the models/people/presenters' seats and makes you wonder if there are seats in their skirts/ the models are phantom-chairing/or if the skirts are made of kick-ass fabrics that you can seat on them/or if they're are a bunch of psychics levitating, especially some of them have their eyes close. CREEPY.

And the second photo is an obvious mockery/parody of Hussein's country (Turkey) and religion. The barely visible painted face either could mean the national colours of Turkey or England (where he moved to later) and the head scarves are obviously related to the most common religion in Turkey. My only take on this (I'm not being a racist nor discriminating anyone when saying this) is that it's kinda of a mockery and irony to the traditional, conservative dressing that I think Hussein wants to bring out. The first few looks... "Ah, a tribute to his country and patriotism" but then, the final looks say all that Hussein wants to convey through this collection.

Coming from a conservative background and country and especially designing clothes that are considered not exactly very adhering to the culture and tradition, Hussein through this collection (from what I think) is kinda saying "This collection is to shut up all the haters. I've had enough. No one stops me from doing what I like." Clothing that are able to speak is exactly what fashion should be all about. I can't say much (sensitive issue alert!) but having your own interpretation of the clothes can be quite a refreshing experience.

I love collections that make me think.

Christy and Linda, Vogue 90s.

It's been some time since I've seen models smiling on the covers of Vogue. And have I told you how much I love the supermodels era.

I think I must be out of my mind but I think I'm gonna cover the 90s until I've something to blog about during Fall Winter 2010.
