That Beast Gaga






This is just one of the many amazing costumes from Gaga's new Telephone video with Beyonce. Of course I'm mentioning this one because of it's beastly print.

You are doing your self and injustice by not seeing her new video. I'm a huge fan and love that she continues to do things the way that she wants.

Being a child of the Mtv generation I miss the creativity that was once displayed in videos. I used to run home after school and just watch videos for hours. The combination of fashion, music, dance and even a mini story line of videos is a recipe I love. Seeing all these elements again in the Telephone video brings me back to a time that was really creative for me. The music industry as well as other industries (car design and house design to name a few) have lost this sense of exploration.

Thank you Lady Gaga for bringing back the nostolgic feelings I felt as a young creative person and I think it's awesome that she is inspiring a whole new generation of artists to do the same thing. Break the rules. Try something different. Be yourself. And of course wear animal print if you can.

Grace Jones

Of all places to grab inspiration I was really moved watching Grace Jones being interviewed on Johnny Carson. Only for a quick second did it really get that deep for me but she said something that really touched on some of my own revelations lately

"Always stay amatuer never a become professional"
 

I love this because it's so true. The minute you become too professional your creativity suffers. You become more guarded and stop experimenting. I'm not really talking about becoming unprofessional at work(any more then I already am).....but just reminding myself to be totally unprofessional when I'm creating stuff of my own.









Grace Jones Johnny Carson Interview 1985


Seriously this Slave to the Rhythm video is completely ridiculous but totally visually stimulating if you can get past the video in the background that obviously inspired the video style of all karaoke bars in chinatown or Korea towns across america. I actually remember watching this video on mtv when I was younger.
