One thing I keep meaning to write up, although I'm not sure anyone cares about it, is the way in which Lady Gaga reads very, very strongly as a drag queen. I mean, that has to be intentional. And it lends this context of irony that I really admire, because it feels to me as though she makes many of the same commentaries that drag artists do, but there's the ambiguity around the fact that she isn't. Her performance of gender is probably my favorite one going on in mainstream culture right now.
