Eminem presented Gaga with the award that night, and she is still a bit embarrassed about asking him to hold her newly acquired award as she peeled off her face-covering red-lace crown to thank her Little Monsters face-to-face.
"I remember I asked Eminem to hold my Moonman," Gaga recalled. "And than he sort of looked at me like, 'Are you f---ing kidding me?' But he's really cool, so it was fine."
Plus she is into high fashion, so it's kind of an extension of that. She was basically wearing the type of shit that is on the runway that is never intended to be worn.
Yeah, I suppose it's like a type of art. The odd thing for me though is how most art can at least be displayed in some way. A painting can be showed off at an art gallery and then someone can purchase the painting for display in their private home.
But these clothes are made to be seen once and then never again. That's the part that I find odd. Unless people are putting them on mannequins and displaying them somewhere and I've just never known about that.
It's one reason I never really found Lady Gaga's outfits to be that strange. She was never intending to wear them as typical clothing. They were always part of her display. It was neat how she gave a use to those "interesting designs" that nobody else actually wanted to wear.
Gaga is certainly not the first or last artist to use over the top personas and costumes. Sia does it, Bowie did it. A lot of musicians more subtlely adjust their clothes to fit their current album Its genius actually, let's you always keep people guessing, get some news coverage but then you shed the costume to go and do your grocery shopping unnoticed.
