sexy celebrity: Lady Gaga

again, i've managed to go an entire month without doing an SS post and i'm bummed about it. but i'm not bummed about my song choice for this week's post. the edge of glory is my new favourite song and personal anthem. i LOVE this song in a ridiculous way. it just makes me want to get up and sing. the song is amazing and i knew it had to be next song i did for SS.

if you haven't heard the awesome sax solo at the end of the song listen to it below. the song is pretty much a power song and it has such a feeling of hope and expectation for the future.

at first i had a really hard time imagining how to translate the song into fashion, but eventually i just though about what i would be wearing if someone gave me the chance to grab a mic and perform the song in front of tons of people. i'm not sure the outfit reads well, but i'm happy with the results.

i'm not sure why, but i pictured this being performed in like an underground music bar that was grungy and dark and filled to the brim with people. in my head there's lots of head banging to the backbeat and general jamming out on stage :) lots of foot stomping and running around and interaction with the crowd. it's what it would look like if ke$ha performed a lady gaga song in a britney video. odd, i know...

but after i came up with that visual, the rest was easy. i imagined dressing ke$ha for a britney video! the crop top and suspender shorts are of the ilk, and the heeled boots are an fair compromise between ke$ha's style and gaga's. the rings are because i love rings, and i envision lots of jewellery and decoration, but my favourite part is the makeup.

i'm not sure why purple shadow comes to mind, but that plus blue liner and purple lips seems perfect in this instance. the gold polish is just a fitting tribute to the uplifting nature of the song. and who doesn't love gold polish?

i love this song and every time i hear it i want to get up and jam, imaginary mic in hand! listen to the song below, and then tell me: do you think i got the feel of the song right? how did you picture it and what would you have done differently? happy soundtrack saturday!
