You can look at her and tell she's gotten shit done, that site just had some pics. Doesn't take much to see she looks physically different than she did a few years ago


I have no idea if that's true, but the pics on the site were obviously edited/fake.

All shots from her videos. She got a nose job at least

and it's incredibly hypocritical to her legion of crazy fucking fans that eat her whole ethos up, considering she's obviously gotten some work done, which invalidates her whole bullshit "be yourself" message.


i thought her bullshit "be yourself" message was about fashioning your outside appearance to reflect your inner self?

Fuck maybe i've been interpreting it wrong but I just assumed that's why she dresses so funny...

I think Perez is trying to make a point here but....

Point being her image and message she hinges her career on is a calculated, phony marketing move?



I just like the music.

Well obviously you think differently but I've always seen this "be yourself" business to be just that, be who and what you want to be. Don't limit yourself to popular limitations, hence the wacky and eclectic ensembles. So for me, I have no idea how a nose job could factor in against that message

I guess my view is, by changing her body to make herself more appealing to people (who wouldn't otherwise give a fuck), she's feeding into exactly the kind of intolerance towards "imperfection" and image-based judgmental attitudes that she hates with every lyric on this record. Personally, I don't give a shit if she got work done, I think she's much hotter now than ever before.



I see and agree partially with what you're getting at though, I just think she's pretty fake and uses her "monsters" as props for her career.



...but Fame Monster is fantastic and her singles are great (usually) so it's ok.

There was a random A Song of Ice and Fire reference in this thread.

Also, fantastic review.

make herself more appealing to people


most plastic surgeries are for the person to feel better about themselves

I'd normally agree if she wasn't a mega-huge star known for her looks/wardrobe/physical appearance and constantly in the public eye. But yeah, all of that.

judging from what I've seen/heard of/about her, she seems to be pretty insecure. Being a celeb doesn't remove that; magnifies it, if anything,

Read the article. It was just me saying she does a lot of it for attention and shock value. That link isn't dead at all btw



Plastic surgery kinda goes hand in hand with insecurity doesn't it? Again, not judging her for getting anything done other than her not being true to her "be yourself" rhetoric, but that's just one way of looking at it.

Because she filed the hook back a little you came up with that? It's not like she got the op to somehow reach a broader spectrum of people, like some kind of perfect nose community. For all you know she got it done because she genuinely didn't like it, and last time I checked she's been preaching the whole 'do what makes you happy and be what you wanna be" schtick

man, what a review for socially commentary. chan reviews are niiice.

i'll probably only check this if i get really bored. i'd say gaga's half-life has about 2 years leftonit unless she dies or kills someone.

And she could have done it to get hotter and be more appealing to a wider audience of people that don't care unless she's hot. Good thing the media and public don't care about looks in celebrities, right? I'm sure the fact that in 2009 most people and media focused completely on her being a fucking tranny had no impact on her decision to pretty herself up, right?



But naw The Gaga is above those petty descriptors and public insecurities since she's not a normal person prone to caring what other people think... because she writes pop songs about individuality so she must be 100% genuine



Album still sucks

i think the larger point here is that you're saying 'she could have' which means that, on some level, you've conceded the point that having plastic surgery is not 100% inconsistent with her "born this way" mantra, and therefore, we should stop this argument.
