Hilton and Marc Jacobs to watch her nap in a tinted plastic pod that
definitely was a none-too-distant cousin of the egg contraption she
hatched from at the Grammys last year, the pop star showed up for her
Fame fragrance launch at Macy's in a relatively unusual horse-drawn
carriage.
But then she got out of the carriage. Mother Monster outdid herself
for her appearance in New York City Friday. Her Alien-meets-monster
look included a gold crown covering the upper half of her face and a
black latex "jacket" (a word that doesn't even begin to do it justice)
molded into a swooping hunchback shape that was pure sci-fi from the
back.
In a nod to the Fame ad campaign, her towering black boots were
crawling with little gold men meant to look like they were struggling
to ascend Mt. Gaga. While she may have tweaked her M.O. since claiming
her perfume would include notes of blood and semen, Gaga certainly
didn't go the ordinary vanilla-and-bergamot route or anything in
crafting her first signature fragrance.
"I wanted it to be a very slutty perfume," said on Good Morning
America today. "Because that is sort of the addictive nature of fame
that it is, it is seductive.
" The "first ever black eau de parfume" also, thankfully, just
features "tears of belladonna, crushed heart of tiger orchidea with a
black veil of incense, pulverized apricot and the combinative essences
of saffron and honey drops," according to the description on the
purple and black bottle.
