Rolling Stone PRAISES Gaga's FAME launch performance
Was she about to sing? No: She was about to get inked, we learned five minutes later, as she reemerged in the dome, undressing into lingerie and freeing herself of her wig. By the way, the rumors are true: she has indeed shaved half her head (a tribute to Terry Richardson’s mother), and she even cleaned up the cut in front of us with the aid of an assistant’s razor. Then she returned to the sofa, where she proceeded to get tattooed in front of her audience. Fearless. Genius. Insane.”
Praise the bitch! I can't wait for the new era. Gaga needs to slay me. I want her to drag me to the pits of her flaming hell while I scream no more but inside I'm screaming drag me harder my queen. I like it rough!
In many ways, Gaga's "Fame" soiree was indeed the ostensible closing party to New York Fashion Week – while managing to upstage just about every show and shindig that preceded it in sheer surrealism alone.
I agree, the surrealism of the whole performance is what made it so endearing and special.
