I know some fans like to say “promo” doesn’t matter, but this is a perfect example of “promo” enriching our understanding of her art.

So happy she posted this. It’s great seeing her process. 

 

 

It's weird when people say "promo doesn't matter" but then everytime she does something they go "YAAASSS GAGA! OMG WE LOVE IT SO MUCH! SLAY MAMA!"

I feel like this is what we mean with "promo" we like to see her bring her art to life and explain it through performances / Gagavision

Ok, for those who are wondering what the hell she's actually doing here, she was recreating the models' walk of the McQueen show the dress is from: it was called Highland Rape, and was designed to make it look like models had suffered abuse (I should add this was a metaphor denouncing the historical looting of Scotland by the British).

So yeah, our girl knows her fashion history, and it goes out to show how even the wardrobe choices play into the subtext of the video.

McQueen said "[this collection] was a shout against English designers... doing flamboyant Scottish clothes. My fathers family originated from the Isle of Skye, and I'd studied the history of the Scottish upheavals and the Clearances. People were so unintelligent they thought this was about women being raped - yet Highland Rape was about England's rape of Scotland"

Of course, it was a metaphor and had a deeper meaning. But it still showed stumbling women in ripped clothes with urine marks coming from their crotch, so you can't blame people at the time for being a little uneasy.

“For the gays ill do anything” :trollga:

 

Super cute video and I appreciate it very much. I just don’t know why she wouldn’t release this during the same month as the MV and instead just randomly did it now. Is she really trying to stretch a month worth of content for the whole year???

I mean, that's why we should give people complaining on here a bit of slack... As much as we appreciate new content, this rollout makes absolutely no sense. I've really stopped trying to understand this era a long time ago.

She releasing this now means she's preparing us for something, just saying. 

And I'm shocked she released it, I didn't expect it at all. 

We want next mv :firega:

This isn't promo to me... this is content for her fans, and there is a difference
