The Real MTV VMA of the Year!!!

While checking out music videos on YouTube, I came across a treasure from Lady Gaga. She has an interesting video for her song, "Paparazzi." I am not much of a fan when it comes to music videos, because very few artists rarely step outside of the box and give us something different. Hell, Beyonce won Video of the Year Award for gyrating her hips, thrusting her pelvis and shaking her ass; much like she does in each of her narcissistic videos. Anyway, back on to Gaga...

Sex, fame, revenge, and murder make for one intriguing and visually stimulating video. Take a look:

On it's face, Gaga's video depicts a stalker, vying for the attention of a star, in hopes of latching onto their fame. However, in my opinion, "Paparazzi" (both the video and the lyrics) takes us through a narrative portrayal of the price of fame by illustrating the intrusive and often damaging nature of the media.

Well, done Ms. Gaga. You're crazy as all hell, but you surely demonstrate what artistic expression is all about.

MIGHTY JOE GOLD

In 1988 she co-starred alongside Sigourney Weaver in the touching film, Gorillas in the Mist.

It wasn't until 10 years later that she would reclaim her fame, snagging the lead self-titled role of Mighty Joe Young.

Once again, more than 10 years later, she is returning to the big screen to star in the riveting sequel, Mighty Joe Gold.

A Cense and Censibility Street Correspondent stumbled into Ms. Joe at a local city bus stop and asked for the inside scoop on her upcoming film. Regretfully, Ms. Joe declined to comment. However you're in luck... Street Correspondent, Monica, managed to snap a shot of Mighty Joe as she patiently awaited the bus.

Still sporting her bleached gold locks, Ms. Joe donned a T-Strapped tank, exposing her ample back. The tank's hue blended in wonderfully with her skin tone. Luckily the white lines of distinction didn't cause mayhem with Air Traffic Control.

Because of this audacious look, she was mistaken for the Michelin Man, thus escaping the grasp of poachers.

Special thanks to Monica for the photo of Mighty Joe Gold. You too can be a Censibility Street Correspondent. Simply snap a photo or two when you witness a hot mess in public and email them to me at Censibility@gmail.com

Tattoo's R US?

What is the fascination with the seemingly masochistic craze of tattoos? People pay an excessive amount of money to have ink jabbed into their skin via the equivalent of a dental drill. I have a small tattoo on my upper arm that was the result of boredom, impulse, and spontaneity.

If you haven't already joined this inked society, I would think twice before doing so. The following is an example of the distasteful nature of many tats: How tacky could she possibly be? If you are going to get a tattoo, you should certainly refrain from placing them on your hands, neck, face, chest etc. When I see people like this, I wonder who will actually hire them for a job. If you are going to get a tattoo, it should be in a more obscure place. This is much more important for women, as their clothing tends to reveal more skin. Tattoos of this nature make you look as if you just completed 5-10 in the state pen. Though she has a rather innocent face... those tats against that washed out complexion says she'll cut a bitch.

An ongoing trend that never seems to fade away are tattoos of names. I think this is absolutely GHETTOOOO... I don't care whose name it is, I just don't like it. For those of you who choose too plaster a name on your body, please have the god given COMMON CENSE :o) not to place the name of your mate anywhere on your body. Tattoos are permanent but relationships aren't. Be smart! Furthermore, why would you want to brand yourself as the property of someone else? Just because you place it in a more intimate area, doesn't make it acceptable. Think about the next guy or gal who'll have to stare at it... in between the sheets.

Head to Toe... No No's!!

For those with an undiscerning eye, you may be asking... "What's wrong with this picture?"

For the ladies... Why wear a pair of shoes you can't walk in (whether it's because of pain or a lack of grace)? Notice, this young woman is walking on the straps of her shoes. It's just as tacky to put band-aids on the back of your heels to prevent rubbing.

Don't let this be you... Opt for a pair of mules and you won't have to worry about the possibility of blisters. Thankfully her heels weren't crusty, that would've been another can of worms.


Now for this tragedy... While I'm all for wigs/weaves etc., they require maintenance.

When you're wig has developed split ends, you know there is a damn problem. The world would rather see your natural hair in any given state, rather than look at a wig that looks like roadkill after being dragged down a dirt road in the Mojave Desert.

Though I've seen much worse than this picture... I snapped it because I was in awe that she actually put a "scrunchy" on a wig. What is the point of wearing a wig with longer hair, if you don't want to deal with it? Perhaps she just wanted to experience the elation of a pony tail. Oy Vey!!!

Fashion goes Gaga!!!

Lady Gaga was working with more than just a "poker face" at the VMAs... Normally, she would be one of my picks for Worst Dressed, but clearly she was trying to make a statement as these looks were garrishly costumey. Six costume changes over the course of a few hours? Let's take a looksie:

Big Bird + Crow + The Mad Hatter + Phantom of the Opera = Lady Gaga?

1st costume change for her performance of "Paparazzi"

Who would've thought Satan was among us as Lady Gaga?

Miss Gaga's final looks of the evening... I can't figure out what that nest is on her head. However, I think we're looking at the successor of Amy Winehouse (train wreck)... If you look closely at the center picture, you can see Gaga "powered" her nose. This girl already appears certifiable... please let her stay away from drugs before she ends up singing her own rendition of "Rehab."
