Why A Lady Gaga Is Like a Green Quilt
Saturday, April 23rd, 2011The other day, I was messing with designs for a quilt and more specifically taking a look at working with a green quilt. While working on this, a music clip featuring Lady Gaga came on the telly.
While watching the clip, I noticed that they both share several similarities. You may not agree with me, however here’s what I noticed:
Unorthodox
Lady Gaga is an unusual sort of pop star. She’s noted just as much for her insane fasion sense as she is for her music. If you are in any way acquainted with her, you will likely have a picture in your mind of some extraordinary fashion item she has worn in the past.
In the same way, a green quilt is an unusual one too. It’s one of the last colours to be used for quilting and when it is, it will really stick out from your other quilts. Because of this, it’s always a conversational point of any quilters collection.
Experimental
Back to her fashion sense, the pop princess has worn an endless number of experimental fashion pieces. On some occasions, she has actually worn clothing that she has claimed was ‘art ‘. Either way, each time she appears it’s with a new, experimental type of clothing.
In a way, a green quilt is experimental also. Each time somebody approaches one of these, it is always a risk that there isn’t any guarantee that it will turn out right, no safety area of tried and true colours. It truly is a foray into the unknown, an experiment in itself.
Attention Getting
Whether it’s her music or her fashion, Lady Gaga has mastered the art of ‘attention getting’.
This is the same for a green quilt, it does not have to try. Due to its peculiar association with nature, these quilts stand out even if surrounded by lots of other quilts.
Maybe Lady Gaga should incorporate a green quilt in her next experimental fashion piece. They both seem well suited to each other.
