i'm gonna lace up my boots

I'm pretty sure I saw it the moment it came online :) 

but i had to leave myself some time to sleep on it before I developed a concrete stance on it. 

if there's one piece of advice i'll give you, it's to 

always. sleep on it. everything's better in the morning. 

LADY GAGA

marry the night

oh have i ever been waiting for this.
and it's one of her best. 


the prelude is brilliant. it's the most important part of the film. her insight makes it personal, afterall she is a first-time director. but it's essential, and explains the premise of it all:
it's an embellishment of her past.


did you recognize the blue lips, colossal sunglasses and familiar blonde bangs at the end? tripping over her new gorgeous outfits. it's not just her rise to fame.
it's her rise to The Fame. 


and she has managed to make her life a piece of art. 
she's not made art that's a depiction of her life. 
but her reality has become art. 
what a woman.

it's romantic.

it's fantastical, in the sense of the word fantasy. 

ugh. and i love her with short hair. her slender face suits the round cuts so well.
If you'd like, pop by to see what the woman herself has to say about the video. Fascinating.

what a wonderful story.
