PropaGaga 2,971 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 This is my post. The original cover was intended to be the pink slime image, which isn't new information. And the info about Starlight and Gaga getting high and coming up with the motorcycle came from something Nicola said years and years ago. 8 1 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gohan 15,422 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 So the slime symbolized placenta all this time around genius tbh But I feel like the motorcycle head is more important because it felt like she was the one guiding us on our elleyibeeti journey Not her getting high and making heavy metal lover and coming out with the cover idea though tryna go ask Alice, tryna catch that rabbit 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost every photoshoot she’s ever done has been retouched. For this shoot in particular the slightly messy makeup and prosthetic application is probably what would need editing. I mean they even edited her thinner on TEOG single cover 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PropaGaga 2,971 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 1 hour ago, EGOT2027 said: one of the few reliable insiders is spilling lots of tea about the leaked born this way images coming out right now. apparently there were talks of releasing a book with all the images for BTW’s anniversary but the editing proved to be too expensive. the most interesting nugget of information is that originally they were going to use a variation of one of the slime images for the BTW cover. gaga and starlight got high one night though and decided to put gaga’s head on a motorcycle. the final cover may be controversial, but i’ve grown to love it over the years (especially the idea of it). during those years, she truly was the vehicle for our message. she was the one who carried so many of us through our journey to self-acceptance, coming out, and a new life. Re: a coffee table book, I never said there were plans to do anything for the 10th anniversary. I was speaking about plans they had in 2011 to do a book of images from the Nick Knight photoshoot. The book was part of a research survey Polydor sent out when they were developing what would end up becoming Born This Way: The Collection. They didn't move forward because it would have been too expensive to produce. Editorial retouching costs a lot. You may see extra campaign images released through publications or on agencies, and that's because they were paid for and licensed by those publications and agencies are selling these so they can profit. Every individual image can take hours of work in retouching and can cost thousands each depending on how much work is done. As far as any recent conversations go: the tweet is misrepresenting my posts and failing to include me saying that talk about the photoshoot last summer never went beyond trading ideas (mainly from my side). There were no official discussions with her team or Interscope about doing anything. For people that I've seen saying "well, I'm glad they leaked then", I'll just say this: leaks of unreleased content rob the artist of the opportunity of potentially revisiting this content and putting it out. That goes for photoshoots, demos, etc. Just because it's not released in your expected timeframe doesn't mean you're entitled to it. It kind of kills the vibe for everyone to put it very plainly, and I doubt anyone would want to revisit something that is now spoiled in their eyes. Even though in this case, I'd still love to see what the finished images would look like, especially if they chose to release them in color. Finally, there's also a huge issue with consent. Outtakes can often feature Gaga nude, and were never approved to be seen by the masses. If they were, they would have been out long ago. The images we have final versions of are what she has chosen to put out there. So think about that before you decide to spread photos around of someone who has spoken at length about being raped and assaulted in the past. I'm sure someone is going to talk about how she has posed nude for publications in the past, which is very true, but I hope I don't need to explain the differences in these two situations. 8 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always down to money at the end of the day. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading something like this years ago and when I read it again today on Twitter I wasn't certain if I was wrong. This is definitely not news.

Reject False Icons 4,477 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Editorial retouching is really that well paying? I wanted to do it, I love fashion, photography, and editing, it drew me back thinking it would be one of the worst paying jobs in the industry Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
