Lady Gaga makes some calls

Lady Gaga’s new video (featuring Beyonce) for the song Telephone debuted last night.

Overall, I like!  There were hits and misses, obviously, and I can only hope that the acting between Gaga and Beyonce was that cardboard on purpose (Beyonce can kind of act, right?) but otherwise, it was ok.  The clear highlight of the video:

beyonce say what?

I could watch that all day.  A few more highlights after the jump.

Favor!te Album: Nellie McKay’s Normal as Blueberry Pie.  She divine.

Favor!te Concert: Semi-Precious Weapons.  I’ve seen them live probably 5 times in 09 and they get better every time.  My favorite show was the one they played in the courtyard of the Hudson Hotel in NYC. They are now on tour with Lady Gaga.

Favor!te Book: I re-read Call Me by Your Name by Andre Aciman.  He’s a breathtaking story teller.

Favor!te Art Show: Noah Scalin’s Skull exhibit at Quirk Gallery in Richmond was pretty brilliant.  His book was pretty cool too.skulls

Favor!te Fashion Trend: I’m just really happy that color seems to be universally okay again. Even in New York. As I mentioned before I’d get a sex change to wear these shoes.

Alexander McQueen heels

Favor!te TV show: 30 Rock reigns supreme, but as far as new shows go, I’m loving ABC’s Modern Family.

Shot through the heart and you’re to blame …

Shot Through the Heart

Shot Through the Heart

Thanks to Joseph for the lead, I’m now sporting this fetching necklace, courtesy of Fetty.  Comes in a few different styles, all cleverly named (the aptly named Lizzie’s Love is a lovely necklace sporting a heart with an axe, you get the picture…) … I currently have a fascination with charm-necklaces, my current favorites hailing from Vivienne Westwood, so adding this Fetty to the mix was just, well, fetching.
