'her other fashion hero is the late, great Alexander McQueen. when McQueen comes up, Gaga leans back and a sense of wonder glows from her face. she thinks that after his suicide, McQueen began working through her. "i think he planned the whole thing: right after he died, i wrote 'Born This Way.' i think he's up in heaven with fashion strings in his hands, marionetting away, planning this whole thing." supporting Gaga's claim was the decision by the label--not Gaga herself--to move up the release date for "Born This Way," ultimately to the exact day of the one-year anniversary of McQueen's death. "when i heard that, i knew he planned the whole damn thing. i didn't even write the song. he did!"'

'this is so gross on SO MANY DIFFERENT LEVELS that i can't even handle it.
i mean, does she REALLY thing that her level of creativity and talent is on par with Alexander-f-ing-McQueen? because she is MISTAKEN! not in the way she dresses, not in what she sings, not in the way she dances, not in her adopted name, not in her ANYTHING is she even half as amazing as McQueen was.
i find it amazing that she keeps pretending to be Isabella Blow junior when the extent of their relationship was like "hey here's a song for your show, oh thanks here's an outfit for your video". but no one is saying anything because they're all too afraid the world won't think of them as cool for not getting whatever they're all being sold. no one wants to think on their own and they're all hopping on everyone else's "highly regarded" bandwagons. it's disgusting.
this is the fashion world's new icon? they can keep her.'

I know this is kind of old...but I love you for saying this. As annoying as her fans would get about her being McQueen's "muse," with many more simply attributing her name to his pieces (calling armadillo shoes Lady Gaga shoes), I gave her the benefit of the doubt since she really doesn't put these stupid words into her fans' mouths. But good Christ, this is unforgivable. Unbelievably tasteless and tacky. Oh yes, Lee killed himself so that he could put a horrid, fleeting single into your head that is essentially an offensive rip off of express yourself, it had nothing to do with his mother dying. Yes, his death was all about you, Lady Gaga! You know, you'd think with McQueen's guidance from above, her aesthetic would have improved but she's been putting together the most hideous outfits in this new era of hers. Oh right, she stole the facial appliques from Plato's Atlantis, that makes it all so very McQueen. Attributing all your shortcomings to a dead man as a means to negate criticism? Unbelievable. I'm sorry, I'll stop now. I could write a book about this class act.
