Lady Gaga is the hottest thing on the planet right now. Not because she has a great bikini body, or a great head of blonde hair but because she’s changing the music game more and more everyday. If Madonna and Marilyn Manson had a baby girl mixed with couture& glitter you would get GAGA. From her outrageous (for lack of a better term) outfits, over the top performances to her catchy, tongue-in-cheek hit songs, Lady Gaga is the voice of this generation. Every time I’ve seen a performance or a music video I always wondered to myself, “Where does she get her outfits?!” So after some research I found the answer. His name is Terrence Koh. He’s a Canadian artist that was born in Beijing, China, raised in Canada and now living in New York City. He creates handmade photographs; sculptures, installations and eventually started putting together live performances for singers and dancers. Koh has described himself as a prodigy. And after seeing some of the works he’s done, I believe it. When asked his inspiration he responds, “queer, punk and porn.” 
His work has been the subject of solo exhibitions all over the world including Love for Eternity in Spain, Captain Buddha in Germany and Dirty Blind God in Switzerland. His work is beautiful yet strange. In 2006, Koh actually gold-plated his own feces and sold it for over $500,000 dollars to collectors overseas. To each they’re own, right? Koh also created his own YouTube channel/show in 2008—Terrence Koh Show. The clips are short, sweet and weird. For example: One of his interviews with a British dancer was 4:24 long however the video was playing forward as the sound was edited to play backwards. I was confused at first too. He interviews people he has over to his home in New York City. He’s had some big names including performance artist Marina Abramovic, Contemporary artist Hans-Virich Obrist and none other then Miss. Lady Gaga herself. In their episode together, Koh and Gaga sat for 6:00 and counted a bowl of 88 pearls together laughing and joking about life.
Gaga has described Koh as, “The other half of my brain.” Koh and Gaga first came together for the 2010 Grammys. Koh designed the two-headed piano that Gaga played with Elton John. Since then he has designed the piano Gaga played for the February AmfAR Gala and most recently the piano she played at GAGAKOH!. A legendary performance at club Tabloid, where only 900 guests got to witness the debauchery. Koh used his “88 pearl” designs for an all white piano with a mold of Gagas body sitting on the bench as well as on top of the piano with a large dramatic headpiece. The dynamic duo is doing good and auctioning off the piece for their charity. Bidding ends today, May 13 at 1 PM EST. These two artists are giving ‘pop culture’ a whole new meaning and they don’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon…

On February 11, 2010 the fashion world lost one of its most elite designers. The genius that is 
As the models strut down the runway in almost hoof-like heels they resemble aliens from another planet. Weather you believe they are extreme, daring or just plain bizarre these 10-inch sky-high heels and boots are not only incredibly fabulous but theatrical as well. McQueen obviously knows how to make a girl ignore her feet when their crying in pain, but nonetheless the models looked FIERCE. With Paris Fashion Week coming up and his Summer 2010 collection and final masterpieces come to life we will always remember McQueen as innovative, irreplaceable and one of a kind.
