Sometimes I have to take a break from blogging y'all. There are three instances for such. One is for rest. There are times when I need 16 hours of sleep to catch up with myself being me. Second? Well, I've already admitted being back in school - and judging by the 105 and the 91 I secured, I'd say my occasional breaks are starting to pay off. Third? Well my honey and family are at the top spots - sometimes you have to tune out everything but the people closest and nicest to ya. It keeps your head from going up into the clouds and your mind nimble. Y'all know that right?

So while I'm catching up, let's make sure everyone has caught up with Lady Gaga and Beyonce. Sure, there's chitchat about the Fame Monster exhausting herself (which is why she needs to check out my point #1), but the video for Telephone will keep us chatting long enough for her to catch a nap. I'm loving this video for it taking a cue from the Thriller days and turning it into a short film. I'm also loving the way Gaga pokes fun at the rumors of her being a man (check out the video and let me know if you catch that itty tidbit), and while I'm not completely won over for Gaga's outfit choices, I am loving all the versatility on Lady B. She got some black lipstick, a wonder woman outfit, and she lets an Americana Minx mani (I think...) flash after she lets out a cuss word.

Check out some stills of the video and the video itself, and let me know how ya like it!
P.s. That first image? It's by DeviantArt artist Yamino, and if I didn't read as much, I'd swear it was the art for the video. Great job Yamino!

Come one, come all, the Beyonce bandwagon is picking up passengers and speed, and I couldn't be left out in the dust.

Her remixed video featuring Fame Monster Lady Gaga (get it?) for Videophone is out and I'm excited as always.

I've said it once and I'll say it a million times more. I love Beyonce as an entertainer, and I think she has the best team behind her. I am really loving this video and love all the new things she allows herself to experiment with. These may not all be new to everyone (i.e. the Bettie Page ref) but they rock my socks when she does it.

It's time for court again y'all.

This time we're taking it to the stage. We got Miss Katy Perry and Lady Gaga. Both are performers who appreciate a costume. From Gaga's Kermit dress and elephant headpiece, to Perry's banana boats and strawberry bustiers.

Gaga was quoted in saying:

"A girl's got to use what she's given, and I'm not going to make a guy drool the way a Britney video does," Gaga (in London) has said of her outlook on style. "I take it to extremes... It's meant to make guys think: 'I don't know if this is sexy or just weird.'" (source)

So my dear Ladies and Gents of the Jury the question I'm asking is this - whose wacky style is set for stage and whose is set for the loony bin? Do you like both? Do you think they're both guilty and Sonny & Cher remain king and queen?

What's your verdict?
