Ehm the facial prosthetics were from McQueen as we all know but OKAY. 

It's not like she lost any money over Gaga putting heads in her music video and pretty sure slimey heads aren't copyrighted.

she's not gonna get a penny out of Gaga and she'll just end up being pressed like that ex-assistant who tried to sue Gaga about working over time because Gaga asked for a towel :nails:

hey I'm Doggo :derpga:

I think they're reading way too much into it. The only similarity in the cover is that it's a hybrid. LG isn't glowing, or made out of plastic. She's a ****ing motorcycle. The head thing has been used visually in many movies. Return to Oz, for example. The witch/queen takes heads off of pedestals and puts them on her own body.

And the face implants? That's McQueen. 

 

As much as I love BTW and the era, I'm tired of hearing about it. 

 

 

I don't see any similarities, and the face implants were from McQueen, so...

 

 

I don't see any similarities in the BTW cover and that other picture.

The BTW video scene is more inspired by Madonna than Orlan and the horns are a homage to McQueen.

Bull****.

 

 

The implants were inspired by McQueen

bye

 

I feel like a flop fan, but I had no idea the implants were a McQueen thing.  :spin:

How did he inspire facial horns??

She has no case if this is real, none of that stuff is even close to being similar, especially the first.

 

Eventually it's going to come to the point where artists are going to have to noticeably put in all of their work direct links to the things they are referencing out of fear of being sued.

Take a moment to think of just flexibility, love, and trust~

I would sue Gaga at this point, cause this is the best point to gain money. BTW made all the money it could have, and the entire era is done. So there isn't any assumption about how much it made, its fact.

And once again a human being is corrupted by money.

It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead.

What saddens me is that we have a rumored lawsuit posted here (it may be true for all I know but there's no source listed) and already we have people attacking Orlan over her looks, her art, etc.

 

I understand feeling protective of Gaga and her work. I feel that way, too. But it's really counterproductive to just drag anyone at the drop of a hat because of some rumor. What if this turns out not to be true? Are you going to be okay with the fact that you helped earn our fan base another enemy?

Im blonde, I'm skinny, I'm rich, and I'm a little bit of a bitch.

Okay, I'm calling it: fake. I guess I should've known. Those claims are ridiculous.

 

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but what is the source on this story? I can't find any mention of this lawsuit anywhere but here...

ORLAN asks for 7% of the BTW proceeds, which represents $31.5 million. She also wants the BTW video to be banned from television networks, and stop the commercialisation of the BTW album.
