Lady Gaga

  In this article, Camille Paglia writes that Lady Gaga is not a sex icon for many reasons. She is labeled as a fake for her wardrobe and hair choices as well as her fabricated loser persona. She wears crazy outfits topped with outlandish wigs. Surely someone who dresses like this doesn't belong in the category of sexy. She is a sensation in night clubs and bars (where her young fans typically are) and looks the part as well. She claims to want to help everyone love themselves and be comfortable in their bodies. She calls them her "monsters" and she says that she can relate to feeling like them; however, she went to an expensive private school that Paris Hilton attended in New York. She also criticizes Gaga's videos and the content within them. Samantha Cohen kind of helps Gaga out in "The Gaga Stigmata" blog. She relates Gaga's video content to literary aspects and Chinese symbols, increasing her credibility.
