Lady Gaga wears a shoe on her head...

Lady Gaga's style trait for her Born this way era seems to be angled exaggerations to her physical anatomy. It looks strange, but that's just how Gaga likes it. Plus, it's a style attribute you can link to this album era. She's been taking them Madonna notes and taking them well! Perhaps a little too wel. But I won't divulge back into how "Born this way" sounds like a complete rip-off of Madonna's "Express yourself". (Whoops! My bad).

These snaps were shot by Mariano Vivanco and are additional takes to those which featured in i-D magazine. They look a lot like her The Fame monster shots. I'm not feeling Gaga's monster pose into the camera. And that shot of her poking out her near non existent booty does nothing for me. But the side shot of her clutching her head is hot to death. That right there is a front runner for an album cover shot. Even though it doesn't greatly show off her new angled concept, the shot of her in profile shows real confidence, as it's not considered to be her most flattering angle (that nose). But she looks great, and it ties into the whole acceptance dealio she seems to be running with for this album.

Thanks John for the heads up on these!
