or her man

at any rate

If you thought you’d
seen it all from
try her
“Bad Romance”
video on for size.
In the just-released clip
for her latest single,
Gaga lays the theatrics
on thick.
Accompanied by a band
of white-clad dancers,
Gaga emerges from a row
of coffins to take on a
zombie-like dance,
stealing a page from
“Thriller” video.
Over the course of
the five-minute song,
Gaga twitches around
in a bathtub,
her dilated pupils looking
straight at the camera,
before donning a polar bear
dress (head included),
and then stripping it off
to reveal her bare heiney.
Then she sets fire to a guy
with a gold-plated beard,
dances in said fire,
and caps it off by smoking
a cigarette on a char-grilled
bed lying next to a skeleton
as sparks shoot out
of her bra.
You can’t make this stuff up -
unless you’re Lady Gaga,
that is.
Aside from all the pyrotechnics,
“Bad Romance” does offer
a few real surprises –
in some scenes,
Gaga appears with minimal
makeup and without a mask,
and she looks, well,
refreshingly normal.

Then there are the
fashion designer shout-outs.
That big white bear-headed
who created it originally as
an animal cruelty statement
(it’s faux-fur)
and re-worked the
piece for Gaga.
She also struts in
wacky 12-inch-high shoes –
the ones that shocked the
world when they appeared
on his Spring 2010 runway.
