a: Gaga ~
b: Norma Desmond
What:
"Gaga is like Norma Desmond entombed in her own deadly cult of self. The layer of plastered make-up without which she never leaves her room makes her resemble the waxy, mummified saints under glass in Italian churches. It's no coincidence that Gaga's Telephone video, her longest to date, is set in a prison."
