Lady Gaga... Enough said? In some instances, yes. She is crazy. In a good way? Perhaps... She has definitely, time and time again, pushed the envelope of how far a pop star can go. She wears outfits you could never find in any store. Her music has also forwarded a new genre in some instances.
And, our culture liked this.
We like to be surprised and it seems ever present that this is becoming a trend for music artists. Christina Aguilera who started with "Genie in a bottle," has done a rather intensive 180' herself switching up how she wants to be perceived and portrayed. In her latest video she is edgier than ever.
Christina Aguilera took this step in her "Dirrty" video and was critiqued up and down for her risque outfits just a few years ago.
Further back, Britney Spears took a dive into the unknown when she wore a skin-colored, skin-tight body suit at the MTV VMA's.
Another unforgettable female pop artist moment, Jennifer Lopez's in her green dream dress...
The publicity on these women is over the top. Nothing is off limits today. Our society likes to be shocked and enjoys the obscene looks that perhaps the every day woman wishes she could wear. The media, the magazines, even groups on Facebook all expose these looks. Pictures capture each moment hoping to jolt it's audience even further then the last time... What's next?
A look at what we've seen thus far....
