"I know that Mom and Dad think I'm a mess,

But it's alright because I am rich as piss.

When I ignite the flame and put you in my mouth,

The grass eats up my insides and my brunette starts to sprout.

Introducing, ladies and gentlemen, Mary Jane Holland!"

I forgot about that. Donatella is so ironic and funny, a real-written pop song.

Mary Jane Holland always reminds me of Bloody Mary - the speed, the female names and the whole atmosphere.

That really is a good lyric 💓 But what she overheard? Theories about her or that "Nostalgia‘s for geeks‘"? 

Oohhh, fun query! I hadn‘t thought about it before, but, now that you inquire … maybe it is the hybrid of both—as she is the synthesis of “art and pop culture in me”—that she overheard theories about her nostalgic geekdom … ? What say you?

 

OT: ( always subject to flux caprice … but at present, in this immediate moment … )

I killed my former and, left her in the trunk on Highway 10 … Put the knife under the hood—If you find it, send it straight to Hollywood

Ough … the Hollywood AURA farming—the auraboros is here, ARTPOPped up and out the trunk off the jump!

Spoiler

“Hollywood”

[Verse 1]
Listen
I've got the sickest ambition
Deep in the mirror I am scared
Don't know who the hell is there
Yeah, I'm losing my reflection

[Verse 2]
Obsession
It's the thing, it's our new religion
Each model and celebrity
Changes how I look at me
Oh, don't tell me, don't tell me
I'll never be

[Chorus]
A superstar 'cause I know I could
Look like a girl in Hollywood
Hollywood, Hollywood
In Hollywood, In Hollywood

[Verse 3]
Women
Let's talk about our condition
Now beauty's a commodity
Nip and tuck your fantasy
But your better live with your revisions

[…]

[Outro]
Within the year I know I could
Look like a girl in Hollywood
Like superstars, yeah I know I could
Look like a girl in Hollywood
In Hollywood, Hollywood

  

I may not walk on your street or shoot a gun on your soil
I hear you screaming, is it because of pleasure or toil?

Rocket number nine take off to the planet, to the planet (Venus)

Lay back, and feast as this audio guides you through new and exciting positions

We could be caught (I just want this to be perfect)
We're both convicted criminals of thought ('Cause I'm broken)

But I won't die at the hands of another

Come to me in all your glamour and cruelty

Brushes of darkness won't help you create your destiny of self

Free my mind, ARTPOP

(Catch the beat)

Listen to her radiate her magic
Even though she knows she's misunderstood

All of the day 
I'm gonna wear designer and forget your name

I take it off, I put it on
I feel alive when I transform

Looking good and feeling fine

Lady of the Dam
Won't be a slave to the blonde, or the culture of the popular
(She won't, she won't)
Sing at you, I'll fly under radar tonight
Make deals with every devil in sight

'Cause I love, love, 'cause I love, love
You better than, you better than
My darkest sin

So if you have fear, Apollo
Sit on my lyre, and play him like a piano man

When I ignite the flame and put you in my mouth
The grass eats up my insides, and my brunette starts to sprout

Toast one last puff and two last regrets
Three spirits and twelve lonely steps
Up Heaven's stairway to gold
Mine myself like coal
A mountain of his soul

Sometimes a story has no end

I've overheard your theory, "Nostalgia's for geeks"
I guess sir, if you say so, some of us just like to read

A-R-T-P-O-P

Brushes of darkness won't help you create your destiny of self

 

She likes to read - good advice from Lady Gaga.

 Brushes of darkness won't help you create your destiny of self

I say, only those who know the nuances of darkness can better paint with the beauty of light 🩷 

This performance of Stefani Germanotta with Hollywood is so real and passionate, i think it's one of her best moments even if she wasn't Lady Gaga there.

The entirety of Dope kinda fs me up, but “twelve lonely steps up heaven’s stairway to gold. Mine myself like coal. A mountain of his soul. Each day I cry, oh I feel so low from living high”

I also love it’s twin “I'd rather be poor and happy than rich and alone. I'll write hit songs about you. No matter how, we'll get through
I'll keep on singing for a living, but I wanna be in love. And I wanna be with you”. 
 

I moved across country at 21 with my partner because cost of living, so Gypsy always holds a sweet spot in my heart.
