I feel like now would be the most appropriate time, if any, to make my love for Lady Gaga known. For the past year or so, I've been incredibly inspired by her Fame Monster era. The songs from the album are so raw and real and the fashion ensembles from that time period (and a few from her present Born This Way era) are so intense and dark. Fashion-wise, I feel like she started dressing that way while she was writing The Fame Monster during The Fame Ball Tour. So, many of these photos are from before the album was released. The amount of leather, lace, fishnets, chains, studs, and sex-shop pieces absolutely slay me.

ps. The Nobuyoshi Araki and OUT magazine photo shoots are incredible.
