If there is one popular name who can be hippie, can be a modern missionary, a pop superstar and control freak at the same time, then, Lady Gaga has it all.
On Monday, the 25 year old New Yorker who has over 10 million follower in Twitter sit as a guest editor for 90 minutes at a London newspaper office which resolve the puzzle that music writers and fans have been trying to figure out for 3 years already.
Lady Gaga had emerged to the top of her career from the launching of her debut album “The Fame” in 2008 which sold to over 12 million copies. She may be small but she is larger-than-life when it comes to character and emotion.
Gaga has been known for her music and her famous outfits…outlandish as they say that includes a raw meat dress that turned out to put her as a giant egg being a Grammy awardee.
When she went to the office on Monday, her outfit was relatively demure, as reported by a newspaper— pink-colored hair in a beehive, a black skirt matched with a bra style top, broad choker and high black heels.
Upon entering the international free newspaper network Metro, she warmly shook hands with the staff to help them feel relive from the tension of the long wait she had caused for the delayed arrival.
She was accompanied with a small entourage from a record label, make up artists, a PA and security guards. On that same morning, she headed the editorial meeting. They discussed about earthquake in Japan, issues about transgender, and “Gagaisms”.
Gaga said that we are part of the mobilization of love in this world.
She might be hippie when it comes to change but Gaga made it clear that she is peaceful and she doesn’t think about violence.
On her stint as a guest editor, Gaga spent more than 20 minutes typing an editorial lead for the newspaper, checking spellings, verb and grammar along the way before reading her proposal for the team.
“Dear monsters, let your identity be your religion,” she wrote, using the affectionate term she has coined for her large and famously intense fan base.
In return, her fans refer her as “Mother Monster” leading others to think that this kind of relationship between fans and hers is like a cult.
On her editorial, Gaga stressed that Little Monsters are not fan base. She made it clear that it’s a culture existing outside of pop music.
Part of her visit is all about her music, she will be launching her second full studio album “Born This Way” next week which will test if she still have the same appeal to sell as many records that she had in 2008 and 2009 which put her to the scene.
