I've been a partial fan of Lady Gaga since she began making a big hooplah around last summer. I mean, I do like some of her songs, but i never liked them enough to research who she was, what her music was about, etc etc etc... I just thought that she was your run of the mill pop star who made a lucky break w/ some awesome producer.. BOY! Was I wrong! o_O;; Not only until I saw her performance on MTV's VMA awards.. even before that..once I saw her costumes I was hooked instantly. And now she has become my new obsession..amongst other things.. :D
Just the sheer boldness of wearing the design she chose for the show.. the outrageous face covers.. the unnerving theatrical performance of the cream outfit dripping with blood.. It was great! It was as if Marie-Antoinette, the Phantom (of the Opera), and (Rock Me) Amadeus were all rolled into one wonderful, gaudy character! And I want more of it! It would be an absolute dream to design costumes for Lady Gaga, or at least have her wear some of the things I've created. To be able to have her as a spokesperson for my line would be beyond awesome (is there a better word than this???) Perhaps "Magnificent" is a better word to descripbe this feeling.. Yes, simply magnificent!
But I'm definately getting beside myself.. *sigh* Oh, to live the dream.. But its the constant chase of the dream that's the exciting part. Just like the game of dating.. You meet someone new and are intrigued, then that turns into a slight obsession, then you cant get them out of your head. Endless thoughts of interactions and scenarios rumble through.. And you cant help it because you are in, for lack of a better word, in LOVE! And it will crush you, no matter how much you try to succeed at it. If you allow it, your soul will be torn to bits bc of this love. But as all love/hate relationships go, it will pick you up off the ground. Even at the lowest point it will be there.. and hopefully the love will be strong enough to mend the broken, misunderstood pieces, and then the success will believe you are ready to take it on.
At least that's what 'following a dream' means in my head. But maybe I'm waaay too romantic to see the realities of what it means to be successful in America right now, but I know what it means to be successful to myself. That's enough, i think, for anyone to benefit in this life. I mean, there's not much left for ppl to gain here on our planet anymore. Our natural resources are quickly being deminished, humans are polluting and poisoning the oceans and the only air we have to breathe. And then there's the issue of the garbage. The metal and the rubber and the plastics that can not decompose. They've been disposed of in such a way that will outlast any organic life it serves. And it...i mean we, the humans...are slowly extinguishing our own lives without so much as a blink of accountability.
But alas, I've gotten very far off of the subject. I've gotten much too overwhelmed with the thought and this has made me lazy now... gahh..
So I'm going to leave you with this little tidbit of colourful silliness..
