:laugh x10. She does look kind of... bad.

I don't think it's insensitive, I just think she's wearing what she wants to wear. She's not known for dressing in low key outfits, right? So she probably saw some Japanese fashion and decided she'd try it out. *shrug*

Oh yeah, I just read an article on this :).

Lady Gaga? Lady Lolita?
JinraIlustrisimo on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 11:29AM

My dearly beloved Lady Gaga has arrived in Japan this week to perform and promote her hit album, “The Fame.” The reigning pop princess, paid homage to Japanese style by donning a lolita-inspired dress and Ganguro girl-influenced make-up. Not taking cues from Gwen Stefani, no Lolitas or Ganguro girls were harmed in the process of dressing (or promoting) Lady Gaga. Next up? Hopefully Japanese talk shows and most definitely Korea. Perhaps, she’ll talk with Dambi Son again?

wow. I think, she is one of Ayu's fan. I hope so :meditate

Culturally insensitive?
I don't think so :/

nemesisyume 11th June 2009 10:05 AM

the sounds don't work on my computer so could someone just tell me what she sais and so :laugh

I think she looks ok :P


Corybobory 11th June 2009 10:19 AM

What is the argument for her being culturally insensitive? Being white and liking Japanese subcultures' styles? :S

What's with her creepy eye make-up? It resembled Ayu's ourselves look.:P Especially when she wore that traditional Japanese dress.

LOL. My friend was like "eek she's so ugly here!"... :roflmao

Culturally insensitive?
Maybe people are saying that because combining Lolita with Manba make up is a thing japanese would never do. And she really looks like she has no clue what she's wearing in this video. :laugh
I wonder if she could explain what she's wearing but I doubt it.
Probably she just saw examples of Lolita and manba/gyaru and decide to wear them herself.

Corybobory 11th June 2009 12:20 PM

^yeah, but what did the lolitas and manbas do? Read up about it? Should someone have to be able to talk about the history of their style or just wear what they like?

Well, I think that's the point for most people.
Probably Lady Gaga never wears one of this styles again, I'm sure she just wears them because she was in Japan. Lolita and Manba are typical japanese and there is a lot of background why it developed as it has... :shrug
I just wanna explain why I think people call her culturally insensitive.
It's kind of respecting a foreign culture not to wear any style you see because it looks nice.

Sandre 11th June 2009 01:44 PM

Lady Gaga is so pretty.
But Ooh, her eye shadow so thick. But she looks cool.

[taskin.ayu] 11th June 2009 01:57 PM

Lady GaGa's fashion is always different to the norm, so I can see why she mixed two different styles. She won't just settle for the standard style. I can see why it can be considered insensitive to some people, but I just see it as her typical self. XD

Doesn't make the makeup any less ugly though. D:

JackieRos 11th June 2009 02:05 PM

um eww
edit lol at 1:40 the lady was like "OMG! what's that"
ahhahaha spit came out of my mouth when i saw that eww
but i love the kimono :weep

fantasma3c 11th June 2009 03:13 PM

Gross:no

NintendoHTF1242 11th June 2009 03:27 PM

I liked how the Japanese women backed up when Lady GaGa took off her glasses xDD
