8 wins for GaGa!

Woohoooo!

This morning my alarm clock woke me up with great news! Lady GaGa, one of my favourite (!) artists ever, had a great night at the Video Music Awards yesterday! She was nominated 13 times which is an absolute record, and managed to win in 8 categories, of which 7 were for her amazing 'Bad Romance' video! How amazing is that?!

I really envy her. Her beautiful strong voice, the fact that she wears litterally EVERYTHING no mather what people may think of her (she made another 'shocking' statement again at the VMA's by putting on a 'meat'dress! Complete with shoes, a purse and even at meat hat!), her uniqueness, her support for the gay community and people daring to be different. I think it's unbelievable a single person can change so many lives in just two years. I'd say GaGa has the triple X-factor, I can't think of any one else that is more talented than her.

When she arrived at the award show she was wearing a beautiful (theatrical) Alexander McQueen gown with 'the' famous 12" (30,5 cm) 'Armadillo' heels (featured in the picture in my header). A gorgeous total look if you ask me. I also loved her new blue-ends wig and make-up very much! I'm not sure about this meat-dress but it's definately GaGa. I'm wondering how may people she drove away with the smell of that dress. It probably wasn't her perfume that dominated the look!

One more thing to add is that she announced the name of her upcoming album! It will be called; Born This Way. I'm curious to know when the album will be released! I really need some new GaGa-material!

Seeing the pictures makes me sooo excited for her concert November 30th! The MonsterBall Tour returns to Holland for two nights and even though I have already seen the show I can't miss out on this one either! It's just too f*cking fabulous!

Below are some pictures of the outfits. Any opinions?

Alejandro!

Hey there!
Yeah, it's really me and I'm still alive! Although it must have looked like I've been visiting the Moon or something since I haven't posted anything for like a week! Sorry guys!
I've been very busy with school and there are some exams I have to take next week for which I definately need to study a lot, that's why.
For now I'd like to share with y'all Lady GaGa's 'Alejandro' video, that released last week.
Just like her previous video ('Telephone'), this a very long one. 8.44 minutes to be exact.
It is a weird (what else is new?!) video where GaGa mixes Christian and Nazi influences, what makes this, once more, a much discussed video around the globe.
Not only because of these weird Christian/Nazi elements but also because it lookes like GaGa is immitating Madonna. Remember Madonna's 'cross' performance?! And that's only one thing...!
I really love GaGa and despite the Madonna-parts I do like her new video (I love the dark sets, the dancers, the little make-up she's wearing and the off course those funny wigs). And this might be the first time I've seen her wear something normal, a black top with black trousers! Only the wig reveals this is really Lady GaGa.
Tell me what you think about the video, enjoy!

Some girls 'wanna' dance to the beat of the track

Hey there!

When I go off to work, I allways take my bike. It is an half hour ride from home through a very peacefull and quiet neighbourhood. Every day I'm enjoying the beautiful nature (well, actually only when the weather is good) while I'm listening to my favourite music on my BB.

A couple of weeks ago my earphones broke and I just couldn't find the time to get me some new ones.

All those days without music were awful. It seems like those half hour rides take 3 times as long as usual, and all you hear are bees and flies crashing on your forehead. Like I said... Awful!

Last weekend I finally bought a new pair! This time I thought it might be better to spend a little more on new earphones since all the cheaper ones (Apple for instance) break down quite fast.
As a huge GaGa-fan, what could be better than Monster 'Heartbeats' by Lady GaGa?!
They are different, look glamourous and off course the sound is amazing! They come with a protective case, shaped like a triangle, just like the earphones.
What's also special about them is that the wire is flat what makes it tangle-resistant. How great is that?!
They are available in Bright Chrome, Black Chrome and Rose Red. I went for Bright Chrome, as it suits almost everything I wear (and they were the most shiny :P ).
What colour would you choose?

(one more thing:    Yeeeey! My 30th post! :D )

We did it 'klein monsters'!

Earlier this week I posted a video of Lady GaGa singing Speechless in the Gelredome (Arnhem).
When she paused the song and mentioned the plane crash in Lybia I definately got a little emotional. If you've been reading my blog these past few days, you probably know why.
I wanted to post other pictures and video's of GaGa's concert earlier but as I was busy preparing for my admission interview for AMFI (Amsterdam Fashion Institute) I just couldn't find the time.
The interview was today, I have no clue about what they thought of me and unfortunately I'll have to wait for at least another two weeks to find out, but I think I did okay. Pray for me guys!
But now... Miss GaGa.
I went to the concert with my friend Elza and my dad (too funny he actually wanted to go, lol).
The support act was 'Semi Precious Weapons', a band with a leadsinger who made me laugh my ass off! The guy was jumping around in stockings and a leather jacket, on gold glitter heels and kept on screaming; "You motherfuckerrrsss"! It was very funny but let's just say the songs aren't really my style... :P
I already said this in my previous post but, once again, Lady GaGa herself was amazing! She started with 'Dance in the dark' while making poses behind a huge screen. Next were 'Boys Boys Boys', 'Paparazzi', 'Poker Face', 'Alejandro', 'Monster' and off course 'Bad Romance'. She also sang 'Stand by me', originally performed by Ben E. King in the early 60's. This because the night before she performed the song at the Rainforest Fund in New York. It was very beautiful and special to hear her sing this.
I was blown away by the amazing outfits, dancers and the huge stage. GaGa brought along a car, a subway train, half a forrest, a fountain, a burning piano and a huge moving monster.
What was also very funny was that she kept calling the crowd 'klein monsters', 'little monsters' in English, but it actually is 'kleine' monsters. I thought it was very cute and I loved that she tried.
This was definately the most impressive show I've ever seen and I'm glad I went after all.
Last monday LiveNation announced that GaGa will return November 29, two days after my birthday, for another Monster Ball concert. For sure I'm attending this one as well!
Here are some pic's and video's I made during the show.

Really a coincidence: I wore the exact same outfit as I wore in Paris (except for the shoes)!

GaGa's bloody 'Alejandro' performance 

The crowd went nuts when she wrote 'Holland' on her arm with the blood!

...so that they can hear us up in Heaven...

You probably understand I'm very busy with other things than my blog at the moment. I visit my friend everyday and try to help her in every possible way... She and her sister are so unbelievably strong, I can only imagine what it must feel like to loose both parents like this... I hope I'll never find out...

Last Saturday Lady GaGa's Monster Ball Tour stopped by in Arnhem and before I was sooooo excited to go, but because of all the drama I wasn't really in a concert-mood... I decided to go after all, which turned out to be great decision! The concert was AMAZINGGG! The outfits, the stage, the dancers and off course... GaGa herself! She's so fab! The complete show was a live performance while dancing and doing other weird stunts... Definately the most talented person in the world if you ask me!
My favorite part was when she performed 'Speechless' on the piano. The song already was one of my favorites, but this was extra special because she stopped in the middle of the song, and mentioned the plane crash in Libya... She dedicated the song to all the victems and she wanted us to hold each others hands and think of all the families who lost someone in the crash. We had to sing the rest of the song with her, so that they could hear us up in heaven... It really gave me goosebumps and it made cry a little... it was very impressing... I also thought it was very special she did this during 'Speechless', because my last post (about the crash), is called 'Speechless'...
Below is a YouTube video of the 'Speechless' moment.
I made pictures and videos myself but I'll post those later this week.
Let me know if you joined the concert and what you think about the video.

Lady GaGa's 'Telephone' video

Finally! The video we've all been waiting for!
'Telephone' is allready on its way out of the charts, but there still wasn't an official video for the song... until last Thursday!
Miss GaGa wasn't satisfied before and since she wanted it to be perfect we all had to wait a little longer.
The result is, if I may say so, fabulous! The Hair, the clothes (or should I say, the tape, haha), the sets, the Pussywagon... again, AMAZING.
The best look is the one in the studded leather jacket with the soda cans in GaGa's hair. WHO came up with that?! CRAAAZY but so cool! And I must say, the sigarette-glasses are pretty amazing too.
I also like the fact that the video continues where the Paparazzi-video left off.
Beyoncé's appearance is a little different from what she usually looks like, but, still very Sasha Fierce.
Some stations, like MTV, have decided to ban 'Telephone' because they think some lines have been crossed in this video, which I think is totally nonsense.
There are lots of videos that are much worse but most of the time, those are videos from male artists. Now that GaGa does a similar one, all of a sudden it's too heavy and too shocking. America's prudity starts to annoy me by now... But since the mini-movie has been watched over 15 million times in just three days I'm sure that Miss Gaga and Honey Bee don't need MTV to make it a succes... It allready is!
Great Job girls!

Saturday, GaGa-day

Last saturday was definitly GaGa-day for me.
When Lady GaGa's Monster Ball Tour started I was very dissapointed to find out that she wasn't doing the show in The Netherlands, but last week Live Nation announced she has extended her tour!!! She'll perform in the Gelredome in Arnhem the 15th of May! After seeing her live @ Paradiso in Amsterdam last July, I need (need NEEED) to be there again, so I bought tickets as soon as they went on sale saturday morning! I'll be going with my friend Elza and maybe.... my dad will come! Haha, isn't that hilarious?! :D I'm soooooooo excited! Can't wait!
One thing, I went out friday night (which was reallyyyy funny btw :P ) and didn't sleep untill 07 AM, so it was kinda heavy hearing my alarm go off at 10 AM, butttt... Everything for 'The Lady' haha!
Later that day I bought the new MAC Viva Glam lipstick, Viva Glam Gaga, a bluish-pink colour. It seems like a normal pink lipstick, but once you put it on it is ummm.... well, really pink! haha
Especially for me since I never wear lipstick, only lipgloss. But for everything is a first time, right?! I'll add a picture of me wearing it later so you can see for yourself.
