On Monday October 8th we talked about Lady Gaga
in class about her depicting a disabled mermaid. My opinion about the topic was
that she was giving power back to those who are disabled. And after reading a
story that Perez Hilton tweeted about Lady Gaga and her reactions to what
people are saying about her weight gain just proves my point even stronger. http://www.youbeauty.com/mind/celebrities-and-eating-disorders?utm_source=outbrain&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=OutBrain%2BCPC&utm_term=Lady-Gagas-Eating-Disorder-Is-Going-Publ
Above is a link to what I had read earlier this morning that
was being passed around on Twitter talking about Lady Gaga’s “Body Revolution.”
On her blog site LittleMonsters.com where she had posted pictures of herself in
her bra and underwear with the caption “Bulimia and Anorexia since I was 15.”
Now people anywhere, who sign up for the website, can post pictures of
themselves and their body image issues and talk about them with people all
around the world. This is the definition of taking back what is theirs; to be
so brave to post those images on the internet and be proud of themselves.
Images such as what Gaga did, people with scars who have cut themselves,
dwarfism, disfigurements, and artificial body limbs have been posted on the
site. Gaga has created a movement for all her little monsters everywhere to be
proud of who they are because obviously… you were born this way. I give Gaga so
much credit in starting this and putting herself out there for everyone to join
her in this revolution. It just makes me love her so much more.
Here’s another link talking about what Gaga has done: http://www.forbes.com/sites/melaniehaiken/2012/09/26/lady-gaga-puts-bulimia-and-body-image-on-the-table-in-a-big-way/
