Recently, Lady GaGa advised young girls to "sit in front of the mirror with all of the paints and colours and wigs that you have at your disposal, and just have a real talk with yourself. What do I not like about me?' And then, peer into the mirror - and just f**king draw right over it because that's what make-up is here for." Some publications seemed both surprised and outraged at Gaga's advice. But its important to remember that this is coming from the woman who wore a meat dress. Be not surprised.

The 'Born This Way' singer may seem to be preaching two different sermons from her music in contrast to 'drawing right over' your flaws, however, what Gaga is constantly giving her young fans is choice. Magazines tell you to stay skinny, but Gaga puts on 30lb and is proud of it, your teachers tell you to wear make-up as though its invisible, but Gaga urges you to paint yourself with all 'that you have at your disposal'. Your parents say 'don't wear meat', but Gaga wears meat. What Gaga creates is an extreme opposite to whatever propriety is urging for the current youth generation. With advice from two extremes not only is choice available to those who listen, but also the likelihood to fall right in the middle- best of both worlds. 

While praising Adele for her enviable confidence, Lady Gaga said: "I need to be a confident woman and just say politically active things when I can that are helpful to young people." Her advice, though finding its way in unusual streams, really is valuable. "I think women are just, for no reason, wretched to each other all the time, and I don't think they use clothes or men or perfume or make-up or anything more than they use anything else." She said, "We should all make an effort to be nice to one another all the time."
