That’s how Lady Gaga is promoting her new perfume. And, that’s only the tip of the iceberg for the shock-songstress-performance-artist-whatever. Her product launch was a black tie masquerade event at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. With Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan (who showed up late) in attendance what would you expect other than Lady G stripping to her lingerie in an oversized glass bottle while getting a tattoo of a cherub on the back of her half shaved head?
Look, I don’t make this stuff up. I just report it. Did I mention that the perfume is colored black? She refused to lend her name to the product unless the manufacturer agreed to black. Macy’s, Nordstrom and other fine retail outlets will carry the line. Honest. Google it for yourself if you don’t believe me. More as reported by CNN .
Yeah, yeah, I know. TMV is a serious political site where people come to read and reflect on the weighty issues of the day. Well, reflect on this. The same people who will be buying Lady Gaga’s black perfume so they can “smell slutty” and the same people who are going out with them because they “smell slutty” will soon be electing the next President of the United States. Now quit reading TMV and go explain the “benefits” of democracy to your grandchildren.
