Journal #16

There was this one time that Lady Gaga wore meat to some award ceremony.  I never actually saw it, but i heard about it  for months afterward. Actually, that was one of the things that set Lady Gaga apart from everyone else, and ever since then, she dresses really odd in public. For example, at ANOTHER awards ceremony she dressed up like a dude! I was watching this on TV and i was thinking "Who IS that? I recognize the voice and everything, but who IS that person!?" The next day everyone was talking about it. That 'boy' i saw on TV was actually Lady Gaga. I was really shocked! People responded in different ways. Some people thought it was just really weird  but they knew she did it to get extra attention. Some responded negatively, calling her a freak and talking really bad about her because she dressed really drastically. Personally, i thought it was just interesting. I didn't have anything against it, but i did think it was rather peculiar that she chose to wear something so outrageous--and more than once! Doing this earned her a name  though, and she finally established herself as someone unique and different as the rest. Some think she's just an artist with the way she dresses. I just think she wanted a little extra attention. I mean, you have control over what you wear, and going for something completely 'out there' is definitely going to catch peoples eye. I think it was kind of inspiring. Most people don't really have the guts to wear whatever they want. Lady Gaga is famous tough, and no one can tell her what she can and cannot wear. She doesn't have to worry about social suicide because she's confident enough that her fans will like her no matter what. Plus, what you wear doesn't change how good your music is. Though, just because one person decides to go out in a meat suit and later dressed up like a boy doesn't mean that i'm going to go that far! It just is crazy how people's thoughts of you can change so quickly by what you wear out in public.
