Lady Gaga covers Rolling Stone for the third time
Since I’ve never actually purchased an issue of Rolling Stone, I’ve constructed an entire imagined narrative about the magazine based on the fact that Annie Liebovitz got her start taking pictures for them in the Sixties, the mag was once featured on an unsuccessful MTV show called I Want to Write for Rolling Stone, and last year, they ran a profile of Stanley McChrystal that led the then-general to resign from his post as Commander in Afghanistan. But thanks to their latest Lady Gaga cover, I now have a little bit more insight into the goings-on at the once-famed music mag. Since this is the pop star’s third cover, I think it’s pretty clear that staff at the magazine have given up on being tastemakers and cultural arbiters and now devote the majority of their working hours to baking cupcakes for Lady Gaga’s publicist, giving her pedicures and deep back massages, and doing her laundry. If print dies, blame them.
On a more uplifting note, someone took my advice and toned down Gaga’s hyper-styled look in an effort to make her seem a little less one-dimensional. The alternative to the mega star’s couture bondage style? Either stripping her down to just her undergarments or dressing her up as a fairy princess and ditching her in a meadow. Ugh, please bring back Madonna? Pictures below. [DippedInCream]
