So apparently the latest in high fashion is not just the peacoat. Oh no, that was so last year. No, it is now the peacoat of an Italian comic book character. And not just because he had one. No, it's the exact same, produced by a fashion company. Now, I might call this random coincidence, but I have to say that it is much more likely that when Hell froze over (I mean when one of our number became a fan of the type of artist he swore never to enjoy), the people who design clothes suddenly decided comic books were a good source. Now I, of course, cannot argue. This is an absolutely tremendous jacket, one that looks warm, stylish and completely ridiculous all at once. Then again, I am also an unabashed fan of the artist. Who can't love Lady Gaga?
Well, I leave that question open. There is really only one band that merits love from everyone, only one group which has left such a lasting imprint on the world of music (and oh god, Avi, I'm totally NOT talking about what you would consider a "real" group). No, this band that should have universal acclaim is none other than Franz Ferdinand, they of the awesomely catchy new-80s dance-pop-punkness. Despite Gaga-gate, we still have Franz Ferdinand as the band most meriting the enjoyment of the world. And I'm not just saying this because their show was awesome, or because Kapranos is fantastic, or because they're Scottish. It is clearly because they named themselves after Archduke Ferdinand, and come up with catchy tunes.
Enough random rambling and segues.
Living the joie de vivre.
I do not know to whom you refer on the issue of Gaga fandom, however I too love that peacoat. I also appreciate the title.
