NZCC 2013 Blog Challenge Day 29 – Trading Places:
I’d swap places with Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta AKA Lady Gaga.
She’s a singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, activist, businesswoman, fashion designer, actress, philanthropist, humanitarian, oh yeah, and then there’s the net worth of $150 million.
Lady Gaga is an artist through and through, she writes songs, plays instruments, wears meat, and more than anything is not afraid to be herself.

Let’s face it history can be boring in todays world of real time updates. So with old songs being freshened up by adding some Dubstep of a dash of metalcore, how to bring the Black Death back to 2012? Add some “Hollaback Girl” by Gwen Stefani! Thats how.
Amy Burvall and Herb Mahelona have a series of homemade music videos that use self-written parodies of popular songs to explain different historical events. like Ancient Minoan Civilization done to “Creep” by Radiohead or William the Conqueror to the tune of “Sexyback” by Justin Timberlake.
“We are real, live, honest-to-goodness teachers. We do everything ourselves with zippo budget out of love…and sometimes insomnia!”
“We make history-based music parodies because we are PASSIONATE about history, art, music, technology, humor, and yes, costumes!”

Lady Gaga clearly has an appreciation for high fashion, and now the pop star is putting that passion into her new job as an intern for designer Philip Treacy, the man behind Princess Beatrice’s famous fascinator and Carrie Bradshaw’s feathered wedding piece.
“She plans to [intern]. She’s already visited me”. Treacy explained. “This is what happened: one Monday morning, four burly bodyguards arrived – Lady Gaga’s security team – to check out the security of the building. I looked at them as if to say: what?! Who is going to take a pot shot at Lady Gaga? Anyway, she is young, talented and peculiar – which I like.”
Personally, I think this is awesome. Gaga loves hats and what better way to fuel your passion by studying under one of the best!!. I wonder what her first line of head wear will look like?

The Flaming Lips’ frontman Wayne Coyne like to connect with his audience by surfing the crowd in a giant human hamster ball! I can just see Lady Gaga turning up to an award ceremony in one of these, and the orginsers scratching their head on how to seat her 🙂

Lady Gaga wants to communicate with all of her little monsters, including the ones who are deaf. Hollywood Gossip reports that the Mother Monster is planning to put her paws up — literally — and learn American Sign Language so that she can converse with her fans that are hard of hearing.
Gaga was reportedly inspired after watching YouTube clips of her deaf fans signing to her songs, once again proving that digital means are always a direct link to Gaga herself. You, too, can post a video of something related to, or celebrating, Gaga and there is a terrific chance that Gaga will actually see it — and it will inspire her!
A Gaga source said that once the ‘Born This Way’ singer masters sign language, she can respond in turn to the videos that are posted online. Gaga isn’t stopping there, and really, why would she? The singer reportedly plans to incorporate sign language into future concerts.

Stuff.co.nz Rebecca Black has another famous fan: Lady Gaga.
At a Musicians@Google event on Tuesday, Gaga stuck up for the 13-year-old singer – who has been widely mocked on the Internet for her song, Friday.
“I think it’s fantastic,” Gaga said of Black’s fame through YouTube, where she has more than 35 million streams.
“I say Rebecca Black is a genius and anyone that’s telling her she’s cheesy is full of shit,” Gaga went on, although she noted that she hasn’t seen the video. Over the weekend, Simon Cowell defended Black as well.
Black says she has been cyber bullied for her song, which she recorded after her mom paid US$2000 to LA-based Ark Studios.
According to Billboard.biz estimates, she’s making about US$27,000 a week from iTunes sales and YouTube streams.
During her long visit at Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, California, dubbed ‘Google Goes Gaga’, the singer plugged Google Moderator, a tool her fans use to submit text or video questions.
“At Google, we’ve seen Gaga build her career by embracing technology, as well as constantly innovating for her fans,” said the company’s Marissa Mayer.
