My Year In Gaga
OK, so the time has come to do the annual ‘best Gaga moments of the past year’ post but since it was such a huge year for her (she is officially now a pop MEGASTAR) I didn’t see any point in posting the expected big, obvious bits of the year (videos, awards, television performances, taking on congress, wearing outfits made of raw cow etc..) and have instead put together a month by month tour of my own personal favourite Gaga micro-moments of 2010. It was, of course a very tough job picking but fun too.. Enjoy!
January: Blood & Polaroids
My first glimpse of the yellow wig + fake blood combo. It was love at first sight…
Gaga gets a new job.
February: I spy with my little (left) eye..
Amazingly uber-geek outfit rumoured to be responsible for filming this:
March: GAGALASGOW
Since this was the month I got to take a trip down the glitter highway I have to include this photo by Cormat. I’m right up at the front by the way. Erk!
April: The Birkin gets it.
Nothing like a bit of expensive fashion vandalism to piss off the tabloids.
May: Land of the giant Gagas
June: Trashy
Despite the horrible Rolling Stone cover these two photos have me salivating at the thought of Terry Richardson’s behind the scenes book.
July: Cowboys are frequently secretly fond of The Gaga
August: Barbie Feet, Twitter Queen, Fuck Dog, Lolla Crowd Surf..
September: K-K-Kind of busy…
After party twitpics and on hold for the Senate.
October: Gagaween & The Sun Is Down
November: Espionage & Monster Love
From a fake Lady Gaga CD to a thumb drive that is a pocket-sized bombshell – the biggest intelligence leak in history
An innocuous-looking memory stick, no longer than a couple of fingernails, came into the hands of a Guardian reporter earlier this year. The device is so small it will hang easily on a keyring. But its contents will send shockwaves through the world’s chancelleries and deliver what one official described as “an epic blow” to US diplomacy. The 1.6 gigabytes of text files on the memory stick ran to millions of words: the contents of more than 250,000 leaked state department cables, sent from, or to, US embassies around the world.
“I would come in with music on a CD-RW labelled with something like ‘Lady Gaga’ … erase the music … then write a compressed split file. No one suspected a thing … [I] listened and lip-synched to Lady Gaga’s Telephone while exfiltrating possibly the largest data spillage in American history.” He said that he “had unprecedented access to classified networks 14 hours a day 7 days a week for 8+ months”.
