I WISH YOU HAD BEEN THERE WITH ME, SISTER MONSTER!! SOMEDAY -- SOMEDAY WE WILL MEET UP AND LOVE GAGA TOGETHER, IN PERSON!
Thank you! The gloves were an awesome 4$ find, and I was quite happy with them! You can't see my badass shoes in the picture, but they were these fucking bright red stiletto pumps that matched the red clutch perfectly (shoes: 10$, clutch: 5$). I loved my outfit so much, and I'm glad I did because it allowed for me to feel gorgeous and therefore enjoy the night even more.
Semi Precious Weapons, omg. Okay, so I looked them up on YouTube the day of the show, and I watched the video for Semi Precious Weapons, and within ten seconds of watching, I was like, "Yup. In love." Justin is just so FUCKING amazing. And then he was just as amazing last night, so I'm definitely a fan already. I know about the new album, actually, because Justin shouted at us, "Our album is out TODAY. You lucky bitches get to be the first to buy it, and if you buy it we will be standing at *such and such*, and we will be signing and taking photos until they kick us out." But since I am also mega broke, I did not buy the album. But now that I know about them and am enjoying them, life is good. AND YES, that quote - "I can't pay my rent but I'm fucking gorgeous." - I HEAR THAT. He totally screamed that during the set and we went fucking wild. They were also selling a t-shirt with that on it, and I really wanted to buy it. (But, broke.)
The narrative was such a cool aspect of the show, seriously. I didn't mention this in the orignial recap, but I'll tell you because I know you'll fucking love this. For Paparazzi there was this giant, fucking creepy angler fish on stage behind Gaga, with moving tentacles and everything. And she sang her heart out, the angler fish glowing angry, and honest to Gaga, my heart was POUNDING. Like, she actually made me fucking ANXIOUS. What I got from the performance was that the angler fish represents fear and perhaps ferociousness and possibly the unknown. At the end of the song, one of the angler fish's tentacles began violating her where she lay on the floor of the stage. And this is kind of an aside, but the performance absolutely confronted my personal fear and anxiety in general, and my fear, in particular, of rape, a fear that is gripping and terrifying, and a reality many women face. It's always been a terribly present fear in my mind, and I know that may not have been Gaga's express intention, but it confronted these fears and soothed them, in a way. It just worked on so many levels for me, and I JUST FUCKING LOVE GAGA!
