f-fannish?
The other thing that's been making me happy is Lady Gaga! I am moved to make a list of reasons why.
- The music video for "Bad Romance", which deserves its own list of reasons why I am happy about it.
- the tendons in her hands (I like hands in general and hands that are strong or capable at something in particular, and hands that are tense and holding on tightly, and seeing things in outline moving underneath someone's skin-I also like collarbones for this reason)
- the creepy jerky monster dance with outstretched fingers
- the bird? masks everyone is wearing
- her ridiculous makeup when she's in the bathtub
- the CLOAK which is a BEAR
- the crazy glittery lobster-claw shoes
- oh my god, her legs
- the hurling-themselves-to-the-ground dance in the dark with everyone dressed in red
- the FIREBALL everything explodes into near the end
- OH MY GOD WHAT.
- The attack on the "oh-oh-oh-oh-oh" section of "Poker Face"!
- "Paparazzi" initially made me kind of unhappy, because I think it is a genuinely creepy song, and people don't always know when they are being creepy, and that is creepy. But then she performed it at some MTV awards show, and the performance ends with a lot of fake blood and her death by hanging. This suggests to me that yeah maybe she does know what she's doing.
- This magazine cover, where she is topless and wearing pointy-fingered gloves (the hands thing again!) and a strap-on:
- This live performance of "Poker Face", which is ridiculous in a completely different way from the way the rest of her stuff is ridiculous:
HER HAIR IS A BOW, YOU GUYS. And her big goofy GRIN. - Probably more reasons but now I am thinking about her hands and can't concentrate.
