Shady lady: The truth about pop's Lady Gaga
She’s loud, brash, trashy and sexually ambiguous, but this shameless
self-publicist claims to be traditional at heart
By Lynn Barber
Lady Gaga is only 70 minutes late, which I suppose (sigh) is quite good by
pop-star standards. This gives me ample time to case the pavements round the
May Fair hotel for the packs of paparazzi who are supposed to follow her
everywhere she goes — but there are disappointingly none.
Gaga只迟到了70分钟,以明星的标准来看也许算好得(唉)。这给我足够的时间在
May Fair Hotel附近逛逛,看看那些平常应该跟她团团转的狗仔队们,不过令人失望的是
一个狗仔也没有。
Her young English PR, Adrian, tells me that she is busy putting on her
make-up, to which I respond rather forcefully that she really need not bother
because I won’t notice whether she’s wearing 10 layers of slap or none. But
according to Adrian, she won’t ever leave her room without full make-up. He
takes me up to the penthouse suite where the interview will take place. All
very Kelly Hoppen, black-and-gold upholstery, lacquer tables, buddhas, white
orchids, bamboo, the usual. “Have a look at the bathroom!” Adrian says
excitedly. It has a freestanding granite tub exactly like a sarcophagus. “
And the master bedroom!” Circular white bed, ginormous flatscreen, more
white orchids. Yes, the decor is impressive, but the waiting is long.
她年轻的英籍公关,Adrian,告诉我她现在正忙着化妆,但我真的不在意她到底
有没有化妆。Adrian表示,如果没画完全妆,Gaga绝不会出门。他带我到待会要进行
访问的顶楼套房。装潢非常具有Kelly Hoppen的风格(英国名室内设计师),
黑色搭配金色的整体装潢,亮漆面的桌子、佛像、兰花、竹子等习以为常的设计。
「快来看浴室!」Adrian兴奋地说。「有一个像石棺的独立花岗石浴缸」
「还有主卧室!」圆形的大床,大的不可思议的液晶电视,更多白色兰花。
装潢的确相当令人赞赏,但是等待时间实在太久
Eventually she appears, a frail little body tottering along on absurdly high
platform heels, in fishnet tights, a rather skewwhiff Marilyn Monroe wig, and
a short, black silk wrap, which keeps falling open to reveal her somewhat
undernourished breasts. I preferred the photos of her at Glastonbury with
flames shooting out of her bra. Her skin is pale, almost milk-white, but she
has thick black hairs on her arms and a hodgepodge of tattoos (a ban-the-bomb
sign, some lines of poetry), which spoils the porcelain effect. But she is
very polite. She takes her sunglasses off as soon as we start talking,
revealing lovely, big hazel eyes, and — best of all — produces two
ashtrays, some cigs and a lighter, and tells me that, though she doesn’t
smoke on performance days, she can today.
她终於出现了,娇小的身材穿着网袜,踏着高的夸张厚底高跟鞋,戴着有点歪的
似Marilyn Monroe的假发,和件不时露出她发育不良胸部的丝质短外袍。我个人比较喜欢
她在Gaalstonbury的喷火胸罩。她的肌肤相当白皙,近似牛奶的颜色,但她的手臂上有着
相当厚的黑色毛发,及一堆刺青(一个是反炸弹,还有一个是一些诗句),有点毁了
最初那种瓷娃娃的形象。但她相当有礼貌。访问一开始後她就脱下她的太阳眼镜,
露出了她明亮的棕色眼睛,最棒的是她还拿出了两个烟灰缸、一些香烟和一个打火机,
跟我说她表演时不抽烟,但今天可以。
If you google Lady Gaga the first thing you see is a related search asking “
Is Lady Gaga a hermaphrodite?” Naturally this question has been weighing on
my mind and I have spent an unseemly amount of time studying close-ups of her
crotch on YouTube. Jonathan Ross raised the question when she came on his
show and received the immortal reply “I do have a really big donkey dick,”
which certainly shut him up. Her early career seems to have been dogged by
rumours that she was a man in drag, and Christina Aguilera said dismissively:
“I don’t know if it is a man or a woman.” But why should she be a man, or
even a hermaphrodite? She does have a deep voice but she is quite clearly a
woman. The whole hermaphrodite story has the feel of a rather desperate
publicity ploy.
如果你Google "Lady Gaga",你第一个是一个相关搜寻问道「Lady Gaga是阴阳人吗」?
这个问题一直苦恼着我,而我也花了很长的一段时间在youtube上仔细观察她的裤裆。
Jonathan Ross(英国主持人)在一次访问中问Gaga这个问题,而Gaga给了他一个
永垂不朽的回应:「我有个大老二」,这当然使Jonathan Ross当场闭嘴。Gaga演艺生涯
初期的确被她是个男扮女装艺人的谣言所困扰。而Christina Aguilera很不屑地表示:「
我不知道『它』到底是个男的还是女的」。但她怎麽会是个男的或者是阴阳人?她虽然
有比较深沈的声音,但她很明显的是个女生。整个阴阳人的故事感觉起来
只是个很差的宣传效果而已
One of the problems with — and for — Lady Gaga is that the music industry
and publicity machine don’t quite know what to make of her. She writes these
catchy, feel-good electro-pop tunes that go down a storm in clubs, but then
talks a load of impenetrable art bollocks in interviews. Her heroes are the
utterly predictable Andy Warhol, David Bowie, Madonna, Grace Jones, and of
course she claims to be a “performance artist” rather than a singer. Don’t
they all? She complains that just because she is blonde, people treat her
like an airhead, but she has to dye her hair, she explains, because otherwise
she gets mistaken for Amy Winehouse, and I can see that — yes — with her
long face and big schnozz there is a distinct resemblance.
Lady Gaga的问题在於整个音乐圈和公关社群不知如何将她定位。Gaga写了许多
在夜店造成轰动的琅琅上口的电子/流行曲调,但访问时却发表许多令人难以理解的
关於艺术的胡言乱语。她的偶像,可想而知,是Andy Warhol, David Bowie、Madonna、
Gace Jones等人,而她也表示自己是「表演艺人」而非单纯只是为歌手。
这些人不都是这样说吗?她抱怨别人以为她没大脑只因为她的金发。但她一定要染发,
Gaga说,因为这样别人会误以为她是Amy Winehouse。我也看得出来他们二人的相似度。
