Icons are everywhere!

An icon is someone who makes an effort. Art makes an effort. Therefore art is an icon. Marilyn Monroe was and is an icon and a work of art as well. Hence Marilyn Monroe and art have a nature in common. Icon - Art - Marilyn is iconic.

Academia - "Lady Gaga: The Mother Monster Identity - Deconstructing a Pop Star"

Right now I am working on an essay for the university titled: "Lady Gaga: The Mother Monster Identity - Deconstructing a Pop Star", and I have seen some amazing ARTPOP and APPLAUSE promotion done by some monsters. And I was really blown away by a video I found on twitter.



@BadKid_Earthfan and @Whisk3y_M0uth made a video where the talked to strangers about APPLAUSE and ARTPOP and also had the brilliant idea to relabel soup cans ins supermarket as APPLAUSE CAMPBELL. Check it out below! I will definitely use that as an example in my essay. So just wait for the 27th of august for my essay and follow them on twitter. And don't forget to watch their video!

"I read it, so should you!" - Jake Kiss, poetry worth kissing!

It has been a while since I tweeted my first tweet on Twitter. And as time went on I have discovered some pretty talented people around twitter. One of them is Jake Kiss, or as some of you know him on twitter as @50ShadesOfGaga. Beside our shared obsession of pop culture, everything Gaga and the arts like drawing, writing and designing we have found out that we are pretty #whoresome! 


What is even better then Jake and me sharing some obsessions in art and culture is that Jake is an excellent young poem writer, also he writes great short stories. But here I want to show you some of the poems which he wrote in 2012. Basically I will just put them here for you to read and enjoy!

So here is the first of the two poems I will give you to read:

LOVES SLAVE (GYPSY SOUL)

My heart is a traveller,
It always wanders,
Even though my mind still ponders,
A gypsy soul,
Too much that not even I can control,
From one to the next,
All I leave is bulldozed wrecks,
It's just my love's hex,
I am more ravenous than a Tyrannosaurus rex,
I'll crack you open and begin to dissect,
Before you realise I am far from perfect,
To me all I want is another shattered heart to collect,
And you are the one I select,
I'll rob you of all dignity and respect,
Before I too throw you in my bin of neglect,
Where we shall never again reconnect.
You're dead to me babe because I am just another one of love's lonely slaves forced forever to misbehave.
I say I love you... if only that was true,
But the day I come to,
I promise I will come straight back to you.

I like the poem very much since it is a perfect way to show how love enslaves us, how we are willing to be enslaved and how obsessed we are with the feeling and desire for it. Moreover the celebration of love as an obsession, which can be fake is so delightful to read. But that is just how I would put it.

"Just in!" & "Music Minute" - The Queen is back, well sort of!

Yes you red it right, the queen of pop music and philantopist queen of the gays (Sorry Kathy Griffin, but you are the "Comedy Queen of the Gays") Lady Gaga is back again! When it comes to her gays Gaga breaks her media hiatus and takes n her twitter to tweet against DOMA!


Yesterday the fierce fashion forward musician and performer took the stage at a NYC pride event and hold a speech in favor of the LGBT IQA community in which she said to the attending people:

"We are not a niche. We are a huge part of humankind. It is time for us to be mainstream. I demand rights! Enough is enough!" 

In my mind I am already imagining the posters for the next presidential election in the states with "Gaga/RuPaul for President!" I'm living it. And of course the Lady has not just left the stage without giving a little performance. So she took the mic and sang "The Star Spangled Banner" in such a beautiful way, that proves she has been doing some voice exercising! Halleluja! (Watch her performance of the national anthem below this post!)

Another nice thing to know about our Lady in charge is that the annual Forbes list of the most powerful musicians has come out. And the outcome is great since Gaga came out: on top! And what better than that? Forbes ensures their readers that, even though she had to cancel some shows, the Born This Way Ball had grossed about 168 million $ and would have easily earned over 200 million $ is Gaga were not to cancel the other ones, du to the hip surgery she had to undergo. Even better though are the news that her twitter followers (38 million) and her Facebook likes (58 million) have gained her some respect and that everyone over at Forbes awaits ARTPOP to be released in the fall of 2013! Isn't that great?

Gossip allegedly has said that Lady Gaga has rented a luxurious apartment in Manhattan which she furnished with designer furniture matching her taste. The apartment is said to have about 184 meters square, 2 bedrooms, a huge kitchen (Since we know you are Italian, Gaga!), a fire place and a huge terrace with an absolutely amazing view over central park. This kind of apartment is going to be expensive as hell since living space in Manhattan is like a Kardashian with a huge IQ. Right: nearly not possible to find! She is said to pay about 15.000 € rent per month! Gaga, you better work and by that apartment after you released ARTPOP!

So now, enjoy Gaga's performance of "The Star Spangled Banner":

"Just in!" - Lady Gaga going to be announced Rolling Stones "Woman of the Year 2013"

Okay this is hot of the presses! Some bird has announced something concerning the reigning queen of pop: Lady Gaga, or as you may call her Lady - Fucking - Wins - Everything. Okay the thing is that this is some hot Twitter shit, and by Twitter shit  I am throwing Icon Art Marilyn's Twitter account a lifeline, so go and follow that! But back to the point:


On Twitter, Lady Gaga Fan Account, @LadyGagaNowNet has made a huge announcement that, get your diapers on little monsters before you pee yourself, the Lady is going to be announced as "Woman of the Year 2013" and be featured on the cover of the, guess which month, september issue! I guess "Rolling Stone" knows something we don't. Might Gaga be coming back in August or so? Maybe with a new single or even the Album ARTPOP? We will have to wait for it, or some other bird to spill!

So see the Tweet here, and no, it's no fake!
