I don't think Lady GaGa really gives a shit about being pretty. She never places the focus on her face - always other aspects of her image. If she was really that concerned, she would have had a shitload of plastic surgery already.

That's code for: She fugly!

DesireeNevermind said:

I don't think she's fugly. I think she's average. But then, that hasn't stopped Madonna.

VoicesCarry said:

I don't know what it is, but with each passing album, Madonna gets better and better looking. I know she's had some freshening up lately but even before that, she's found a way to show up her best parts and thus look, dare I say pretty.

PanthaGirl said:

ok

yeah i saw that before

PanthaGirl said:

Greatest clip ever!

DesireeNevermind said:

NOT YOU AGAIN!!!!

DesireeNevermind said:

I found her the most prettiest in the Sex book.

VoicesCarry said:

exactly

DesireeNevermind said:

madonna was the sexiest women ever

NOW she looks AWFUL with all that surgery. Such a tight cat looking face.

VoicesCarry said:

I definitely don't think she's fugly. She's what I call 'homely'. 'Homely' is that little area between cute and ugly, where Gaga sits alongside Fergie, Rosario Dawson, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Jennifer Aniston. I don't think any of these women are ugly, but I've seen regular girls without make-up who look 10 times better than any of them do when they're all dolled up for awards shows.

VoicesCarry said:

She has a stylist If she's paying someone to help her design these different outfits, she has to care a little bit about being somewhat attractive. Unless she's just doing it to draw attention to her music which would be brilliant if that's truly the sole purpose behind the image. Personally, I think she looked better before the new pop image makeover:





All the costumes really just add to her appeal and it's great that she actually has some real talent behind the persona. Man, everytime I see Lady Gaga in one of her outrageous ensembles, I always start to think about Grace Jones and Bjork because they were doing this over a decade ago... maybe that's why I'm not all that impressed by it.

We're talking about whether she pretty in the face, not whether she got a smokin' hot body and some cool clothes. I don't think she cares about being pretty. She cares about maintaining her persona, though.

VoicesCarry said:

why would she not care about her face? Of course she cares about all that and she must be a completley fascinated by the fact you can create apersona with fashion adn make up.

graecophilos said:

Lady GaGa's persona has nothing to do with her face. You barely see her face. If she cared about her face, she wouldn't wear wigs or glasses that obscured 95% of it all the time. She is very calculating about what she focuses attention on, and it certainly isn't her face.

VoicesCarry said:

I agree 100% with the bolded statement. In regards to her face, she's got a face that's average; not ugly, not pretty; just there, attached to her skull. I think she's homely; and her costumes take a lot of emphasis off of her face especially since that's what she's becoming known for more and more nowadays. She's almost always either wearing big shades or fake eyelashes and other eye accessories, so seeing her actual face seems to be a rare occurrence. She's an enigma, which is probably what she was aiming for and there's nothing wrong with being a little mysterious....works wonders for Prince.

VoicesCarry said:

her face is highly styled. every aspect is on purpous. And get it: She wears extensions, no wigs.

If anything, she cares heavily about her face. If she wouldn't care, she would not have that crazy make up, the glasses.
The fact she seems to hide her face is an obvious sign she cares.

Lady

the question isn't "who has the better image?". it's "who has more talent?"

and i never said you did

InsatiableCream said:

i do see where the image factors into the 'talent' bit in a way, but i don't quite see where whether she's got a beauty queen face or not does. you don't have to be pretty to do a good song.

graecophilos said:

Get it: There is a clear shot in the Poker Face video where it's obvious that it's a wig. She wears wigs that most drag queens wouldn't envy.
[Edited 6/9/09 16:05pm]

Yeah - them's some extensions

DesireeNevermind said:

Sorry for hurting your feelings, but she's always been homely...remember 'Square Pegs'? Poor girl never had a chance.

estelle81 said:

aw she was supposed to be a geek back then. but i feel you. she's just a little too Prince petite for me but I think she's pretty. only horse face chick i ever thought lovely.

DesireeNevermind said:

Didn't she have her mole removed recently?

estelle81 said:

bout freakin time. it was distracting on the close ups.

DesireeNevermind said:

I wonder if she did it for the same reasons that Enrique Iglesias removed his mole. Man, after he removed his, I almost didn't recognize him.

estelle81 said:

his holy moley was horrid. I hate it. too damn big and always like BAM IMA MOLE CAN'T YOU SEE ME JUMPING? little improvements like that make a world of difference.
