Kanye + Gaga= Controversial Dave La Chapelle Photo Shoot

Urban Chameleon news


And the King Kong image is BLack I mean back. It's like a Black hair movie, every few years one comes out. Remember Lebron and Gisele on the cover of Vogue?


Boy did this bring about some major controversy with Lebron portraying the stereotyped, animalistic black man, white-woman-obsessed beast. However, the difference between Vogue and LaChapelle is that you expect controversy from LaChapelle. If you know LaChapelle's work you would know it kind of wouldn't be a LaChapelle photo if it weren’t provocative and controversial. Now whether or whether not the images are always successful is another question. What do you think?


Personally I would have found it more interesting if Gaga was carrying Kanye...

Lady GaGa "Bad Romance" : The New Grace Jones?

Urban Chameleon news

The new video from Lady GaGa is a visual stunner. Whether you love (or not love) her she giving it to you. "Bad Romance" is supposedly either about sex trafficking and/or a commentary on GaGa's transformation from aspiring starlet into a "fame monster" (the name of the upcoming re-release.) On the road to fame she is forced fed vodka, showered in diamonds, naked and malnourished in a shower and sold to the highest bidder whom she torches at the end.

Although her inspiration is quoted to be from Michael Jackson and Madonna I also see a hint of the legendary Grace Jones who damn near still looks like these pics at 61yrs old.










This is not to take away from Gaga and Ms. Jones will always be one of a kind. Whether it's innovation or reinvented innovation this video must be shared. I kinda loved it.
