2009 was her visual peak - Paparazzi & Bad Romance videos and her looks evolving from the iconic bangs (with hair-bow when she wanted) into TFM imagery in Q4.
2010 was her performance peak with TMB 2.0, 2010 Grammys, 2010 Brit Awards, Alejandro on American Idol, etc.
2010/2011 was her sonic peak with BTW.
2012 was ha CASH peak - BTW shows earning $1.76M per night (averaged) & FAME perfume.
Asia is doing quite well resting in the US, Koons wished a happy birthday to Michael Jackson and a twink broke down screaming and crying when hearing the word "APP" in the middle of the NYC streets.
I love the Porter shoot, I could see it totally work with Gypsy
The hit that got away
Ugh, I LOVE this shoot, it's my favorite one from the era. She's styled so perfectly. I feel like everything she's wearing in that shoot suits her far more than anything else she's ever worn. Like, it's updated, and also a bit understated (compared to say, the McQueen armadillo boots), but still bold, high fashion-y and very Gaga. I just wish she could implement this type of stuff into her streetstyle.

It aged better than TFM imo. Doesn't make much difference to me though, they're both still great albums, but obviously TFM is better.
Lemme disagree HUGELY on this. Speechless, Monster, SHICD, Teeth and Alejandro haven't aged at all. That's the majority of TFM, whereas almost every song on TF has aged quite a bit save for Paparazzi, Eh Eh, Summerboy and to an extent Beautiful, Dirty, Rich.
How was that Porter shoot not an era. Easily one of the best things from ARTPOP and one of her best looks era. Screams Gypsy, but if she ever does that stripped rock influenced album she should totally go for that Stevie Nicks looks. It would also fit in with her ARTPOP ideals
Mess, I had this dream last night where I was browsing ATRL and Temple leaked (or was released on iTunes, I really can't remember), and everyone was saying it was her best song, but I didn't get to listen to it for some reason
I wasn't excited about Temple, but after that dream, I am now.
