her robotic, glacial voice; the blood; the gasps from the crowd; the way her mic hits the ground on beat with the song; its performance at its peak
iconic
she gave unhinged women our rights
i watch this video exactly once a month and it gives me full body asmr
This was fighting for gay rights
We will forever stan
never forget her commentary on this performance:
“The methodology behind what I’ve done is that, when they wanted me to be sexy, or they wanted me to be pop, I always fuckin’ put some absurd spin on it that made me feel like I was still in control. So you know what? If I’m gonna be sexy on the VMAs, and sing about the paparazzi, I’m going to do it while I’m bleeding to death and reminding you of what fame did to Marilyn Monroe, the original Norma Jean, and what it did to Anna Nicole Smith, and what it did to… Yeah. You know who.”

A hand-colored photo from 1935 to 1940 of a group of gay men, taken in jail, after they had been arrested for “public indecency,” in Mexico City. I’m amazed by the attitude of some of these men, posing defiantly and glamorously in such adverse conditions.
