So even though I didn't make it to Madame Tussaud's Gaga exhibit in London, I've discovered that there are even better opportunities to worship. Namely, the figures in Amsterdam, Berlin, and quite possibly, Hollywood.

Berlin Gaga: Mover to Shaker


This is my favorite Gaga wax figure! The Paparazzi video was, in my opinion, that moment Lady Gaga transitioned from a rising popstar to a reigning queen of Pop.  From the lyrics to the dialogue, to the wardrobe to the color scheme of the teacups, this video is pure Cinema, pure artistry. So far, it has been my favorite thing that she has put out thus far, with the song Speechless coming in a close 2nd. Now the wax figure isn't actually from the video but the hair and glasses remind me a lot of the scene where she poisons her lover wearing that ridiculously fabulous mousy one piece. And these boots are killer. 

Amsterdam Gaga: Style 360
 (Here I will take the liberty of generalizing 
about a city that I have never been to.) Only in Amsterdam would this sort of style statement be acceptable. Looking closely at the image, it becomes apparent that she is wearing a tan Leotard, but from far away she looks naked, a look that I'm sure was intended with both the figure and when the diva originally donned the outfit. I just love the colors here! and the idea that shoulder pads and great shoes can make or break a wardrobe. And look at the pose! The girl is one of the best at posing in the industry. This is what I admire and find so enviable about this woman. 24/7 100% commitment to the image. In my opinion, if you are intending to plant yourself next to either of these figures,  your clothing and attitude should portray nothing less( ie: this venture will require a bit of shopping. ) Luckily, Christmas is fast approaching!

 The Hong Kong and White Hollywood (2010 Brit Awards) outfits are also major but for me, Berlin and Amsterdam tie for the win! I've been trying to get to Amsterdam for the whole semester, but it hasn't worked out because of timing and plane fairs. Hopefully, next semester will offer a better forecast.
