My wife was already a fan of Lady Gaga due to her Hello Kitty hair bow and visit to Japan where she professed her love of the evil feline. This has only grown as Lady Gaga posed for a Markus & Indrani photo shoot for the Three Apples art collection (yet another reason to avoid this if at all possible, as if you really needed another reason).
While the Hello Kitty plush dress is quite disturbing, vastly more disturbing is that I immediately knew it had been tried before without success (bikini plush as well). This is information that no man should have stuck in their head. Things from the photo shoot didn’t get any better from there:
Sent in by far, far too many different readers (seriously folks, you need to spend your free time in more productive ways) all of who should have to wear these outfits around town as punishment for ever thinking that sending them to me would be a good idea…
I hate Sanrio’s marketting cr@p as much as Mr HKH does, but this is art! Viewed as art, and a fashion photo shoot (not stuff real people actually wear) it’s actually pretty good.
No, Kitteh, it really isn’t. Bizarre, disturbing, and hideous, yes. Good, no.
please tell me the eyes are photoshopped…
i LOVE it! i love Lady Gaga and Hello Kitty so this is perfect!
@Sarah If it evokes an emotional response, it’s at least moderately good art. The function of art is to evoke an emotional response of some sort, even if it’s disgust. That is what art is supposed to do. It’s just not art I like. At all. Ever.
@tiffany I have a feeling it’s eyes drawn on with eyeshadow/eyeliner etc.
The Eyes-on-your-eyelid makeup is a little creepy for me, but that’s just me.
I agree with Kitteh that it’s Art, even if it’s not something I’d say, want to hang a print of on my wall.
for a person who is in love with hello kitty although not as much as your wife, that was / still is very extremely disturbing .
Awful ! This is it…bye now…forever !
uhhh.. the eyes painted on eyelids thing creeps me out..
shudders
More disturbing than the photos is the fact she is wearing control top panyhose as pants!
Re: Photos 3 and 4. The Hello Kitty Merkin?
@tiffany the eyes are makeup. I know it’s scary.
I guess she trying to imitate anime girls with the eyes, You call it art but for me it just doesn’t work
I send my condolences in your direction
……WAH? Her eyes… they’re like demons,,, and if she was trying to imitate anime eyes -Acton above- I’m going to shoot her!(Figuratively,I think I need to clarify because of that Whiner) …Hello Kitty’s face is beginning to scare me
Photo 5 looks like giant bow came down and terminally clonked her a good one.
Miranda (The Devil Wears Prada) Priestly’s most dreaded punishment.
Her eyes are gross.
Interesting new fashion, definitely beats the old tired stuff the keep hawking at the dept stores, yet too many office types go into conniptions if these are tried as office fashions…….lol :^)
Where’s darlene, to tell us that every woman’s dream is to have painted-on Barbie-doll eyes and wear Hello Kitty over her crotch?? 😀
lady gaga is not cute
i feel woozy o_O
It’s bad enough Paris Hilton has her hand all over Hello Kitty. Now Gaga thinks she can torture plushies to make a dress? -_- Rude.
I like Lady Gaga’s music, but her taste in fashion is… erm, questionable at best for me. That eye makeup makes me shudder.
“She had a little bit too much…
Oh oh ohoh”
I think she was drunk doing this but the anime eyes are starting to creep me out.
Love her music, hates the bow but now We pronounce her “Queen of Kitty” all we need now is someone to play King of Kitty 🙂
And meryat, that was just funny! thumbs up!
I’m assuming your wife has all those hello kitty dolls that lady gaga is wearing. If that is true then I’m soOo jealous!!!
I have to say that this is very creative and the photography is amazing. . . I know I know, you hate her! ha ha
i see that little ole Darleene hasn’t adorned this page yet! lol!
I am a makeup artist and I can do those eyes. . . . really creepy yes! cool for halloween tho if you want to go as a creepy manga character! lol
I don’t think it’s really fair to uestion her fashion. . . . you wearing jeans might seem like suicide to some people. . . fashion is about change and experimentation. . . and also the basics.
hope you are having fun on the lead up to Christmas. . . I have hello kitty wrapping paper from last year. . . I can send you a pic of it! I am sure you will hate but the wife will love!
This makes me hate both of these b**ches even more.
This is art. She knows how disturbing hello kitty and japanese subculture is. I think it emphasizes that. If you watch her Bad Romance video, the theme of large eyes are used again. Sure mainstream would think it’s cute, but Lady Gaga knows what she is doing and not being as superficial as you think.
Look at Takashi Murakami work and his readings, especially in his book, Little Boy: The exploding arts of Japanese Subculture. It really analyzes the pschy of kawaii and the Japanese affinity for it and anime.
Lady Gaga scares me more than ..anything in the world!!!
In the second pic does anyone know where i can get those shoes from????
I’m scared and so are the HK plush dolls attached to Lady Cuckoo!
Those shoes are designed by the stylist, GK Reid, made out of Hello Kitty lipglosses!
They’re awesome!!!
Omg this is amazing.. love Lady Gaga and love hello kitty
Love the shoes and I can deal with the creepy eyes
its art indeed : P
at least hello kitty and lady gaga have one thing in common…
they have a penis
i think she looks good in the last two, but the hello kitty thing it needs to stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i don’t won’t it too stop meany!!!!!!!!
i love hello kitty I LIKE THE FRIST PICKTURE!!!!!!
This is so cool I’m obsessed with both lady gaga and hello kitty monster claw!
