That theme is made for her. Lady Gaga is the definition of Camp.

I love your notes re: Gaga + the one HS fashion archive used about Dandyism re: Harry 

These are my favorite notes that make me think about Gaga... 

23. "In naïve, or pure, Camp, the essential element is seriousness, a seriousness that fails. Of course, not all seriousness that fails can be redeemed as Camp. Only that which has the proper mixture of the exaggerated, the fantastic, the passionate, and the naïve."

25. "In Camp there is often something démesuré in the quality of the ambition, not only in the style of the work itself. Gaudí's lurid and beautiful buildings in Barcelona are Camp not only because of their style but because they reveal -- most notably in the Cathedral of the Sagrada Familia -- the ambition on the part of one man to do what it takes a generation, a whole culture to accomplish." 

31. "This is why so many of the objects prized by Camp taste are old-fashioned, out-of-date, démodé. It's not a love of the old as such. It's simply that the process of aging or deterioration provides the necessary detachment -- or arouses a necessary sympathy. When the theme is important, and contemporary, the failure of a work of art may make us indignant. Time can change that. Time liberates the work of art from moral relevance, delivering it over to the Camp sensibility. . . ."

I know people think the pink feather dress is too basic but I love how it's literally a note from the essay :wub:

25. "Camp is a woman walking around in a dress made of three million feathers."

My personal favorite note Gaga wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, but I do hope other people reference it (like Harry's McQueen suit with the Beardsley illustrations) because not everything camp needs to be borderline kitsch:

9. "The androgyne is certainly one of the great images of Camp sensibility. Examples: the swooning, slim, sinuous figures of pre-Raphaelite painting and poetry; the thin, flowing, sexless bodies in Art Nouveau prints and posters, presented in relief on lamps and ashtrays; [...] Here, Camp taste draws on a mostly unacknowledged truth of taste: the most refined form of sexual attractiveness (as well as the most refined form of sexual pleasure) consists in going against the grain of one's sex."

Thank you so much for this beautiful write-up! You're one of the few who actually understand what this theme is about

I'm not trying to hype myself or anyone, but now that Nicola said she's going back to Crazyga for next record, I think this Met Gala will officially be the comeback of her wearing crazy outfits
