Prison for Bitches.

So I am finally getting some time to sit down and do a bit of blogging.  I don't have as much access to a computer these days, so the few posts I've written recently are either from my phone or about our elopement.  There have been so many changes in my life, I want to escape a bit.    It's no secret that I love Gaga, and I've been meaning to mention the amazing, wonderful video that is Telephone.




The video premiered on March 11, 2010; however I was in Aruba and missed it.  When I was finally able to watch it, I was in awe.  I mean...my jaw dropped to the floor.  I was later catching up on my blogs and found Blackberries to Apples', who is also a lover and fan of Gaga (and even has a tattoo inspired by her), review of the video as well.  I'm not here to critique that review, but I do disagree in some senses (but I am a person who knows little to nothing about art, media, or music). 

Videos rarely have anything to do with the actual song in my opinion, and this was no different.  Every single thing about this video is why I love Gaga.  She thinks outside the box.  She is who she is.  I won't copy Blackberries' review, but it points out all the most wonderful parts and scenes of the video.  Including...

Natali Gemranotta, Gaga's sister.  LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.  At 1:54, Gaga's makes out with another prison inmate with the cigarette sunglasses.  I feel like the video is just flicking a finger at all those who criticize her.  She is who she is, like it or not.  And of course, I adore it.

How could we forget the fabulous Diet Coke hair curlers (and note, we are only 2 minutes into the 9 minute video!)

The video seriously gives me chills!  At 3:19, Gaga goes into the dance scene.  My friend, KD, is always attempting to learn Gaga's dances.  Trust me, I couldn't even attempt.  I am always awestruck by her moves though.   The studded bikini and caution tape.  Adore.

At 6:20, begins Gaga's sandwich and diner portion.  Love gay men dancing, the phones on her head, sandwiches, american flag outfits :)  

I wasn't the biggest fan of this song until the video came out.  I have never seen anything like it.  I absolutely can't wait for her next video :)  Long live Gaga!
