Gays Gaga-fied, Ladies Gaga-fied.



Lady Gaga is the gay icon of our generation. She's the pop star of this generation just like when Madonna was still topping the charts during the 80's and 90's. Since Madonna is not my generation, I would prefer Lady Gaga. Anyway, she has a new video called "Telephone" which features Beyonce. This is quite an interesting video. First, it's 9 minutes long and second, Beyonce is not quite her usual self in her videos. She's like Gaga-fied, if there is such a term.



Because of this popularity, there are a lot of gays (and I believe women) who tried to parodize this video. One of which is our very own Lady Gaggita. One of the funniest because of their resourcefulness. I will give them an A+!.

With the proliferation of these gay Lady Gaga wannabes everywhere, I wonder, can we Gaga-fy ourselves (I mean biological women) to exert our womanhood and uniqueness in this world?

Just the other night, I went to a small gay club together with my gay friends. There were drag queen performances in between and the very first show was an impersonation of Lady Gaga. The drag queen lipsynched "Bad Romance" and noticed that she really took much effort in dressing up herself like Lady Gaga. Then there's another performance and it was a real woman dressed up and lipsynching Lady Gaga. I know that Lady Gaga is known to be a deviant. She's unique in her own way but when a woman impersonated her, it just became like a TH (trying hard) performance. I was wondering why and how did that happen? Is it because we are "levelling" ourselves to gays which we know are not being treated equally in this society? If only there is equality in this world, then maybe we'll not feel this way. This makes me wonder.
