So Gaga starts off the night as Joe, same guy from her “You and I” video that was released earlier this month. Am I the only one who’s noticing a trend of alter egos? Sasha Fierce to Beyonce, Lady GaGa to Joe and Ziggy Stardust from David Bowie. Maybe artists feel like after a while, they’re expected by the fans and the general public to act and be a certain way. So they create an alter ego so they can do something different or try something new. Think about it, if an artist wanted to go batshit insane in public, it would hurt their reputation. However, if they were their alter ego at the time the incidents happen, then the main reputation wouldn’t really be affected although in some cases it does.

More or less, the MTV VMAs seemed a bit uneventful last night. I’m pretty sure Lady GaGa or perhaps Joe fell off the piano as she was jumping off from the looks of peoples’ faces around her. I don’t want to seem like a bad person, but I was sitting there expecting her to trip or fall. It’s not that I’m a sadistic person or that she’s clumsy, but the fact that she gets so into her performances, into the zone, that she’s been known (and been recorded) to fall on her face a few times already. Last night was no exception. But hey, her performance along with Lil Wayne’s closing performance were pretty much the best of the night. As for GaGa, I really don’t know why they kept switching back to Katy Perry. What in the world does GaGa being a man have to do with the “California Girls” singer, Katy Perry? I mean, when Lady GaGa’s “Alejandro” came out, Perry tweeted some not so nice words, but I’m sure there isn’t anymore beef between the two ladies. Or is there?

Speaking of Katy Perry, she won two awards last night – Video of the Year for “Firework” and Best Collaboration for “E.T.” with Kanye West. So of course, anyone who goes up there will have to do their little speech on what and who got them to win the “Moon Man” award as Perry dubbed him. Katy supposedly drank too much beforehand because she pretty much pissed the hell out of Kanye who left stage immediately after their speeches as she brought up the Taylor Swift incident and the assumed that Kayne West was receiving his first “Moon Man”, thus calling him an amateur. Katy, you have to hold off on the liquor next time or else no one will collaborate with you. Her coming from a religious background, I’d expect her to thank God a bit but perhaps next time. Honestly, I don’t know what to think of the girl. She used to be pretty alternative in her attitude and looks before she became a carbon copy pop princess. Lady GaGa pretty much did the opposite. She took the advice of the label to get her mainstream. Once she did, she found herself in a very powerful position in our music industry today so that she’s able to show her true colors, sing whatever she wants, etc. Maybe Katy will catch up eventually.

So, we go onto other issues such as things that have been going on in my life lately. All is well and I’ve been meaning to blog more but I’ve been super busy as a new mom. You know how it goes. If not, I was planning on writing a blog post on postpartum life anyway so look out for that soon!

I know you guys are going to hate on me for this, but I just discovered MAC Fix+. Well, I’ve heard about it before but up until this month have I just experienced the magical wonders of this make up finishing spray/skin refresher. I got it at Macy’s for $20 for the 3.4 fl. oz. bottle. MAC also has a travel size version but you have to either go to an actual MAC store or order it online because you won’t find it at the department stores (I asked!). This spray is used by many celebrities/ make up artists and it’s really something that you either know about or you don’t. This product sets your make up and keeps it on for the entire day. And if you’re looking a bit off, refresh by spritzing some on your face. What they tell you to do is spray your face after you apply your moisturizer and once again after you have all of your make up on. MAC Fix+ takes away that “made powdery look” and gives you a very natural finish as if you had no cosmetics on at all. And another thing is if your foundation tends to be a bit streaky, all you have to do is give your foundation brush a spray before you dab it into your foundation. It smells like MAC’s MoistureLush cream, very fresh and clean. The only bad thing about this product is that you can become easily addicted, but good thing it’s relatively affordable. So try it out because I know you’ll never live without it again.
