Pearl Overkill

Lady Gaga glues pearls to her face and body.Ms Lady Gaga seems to have developed a bit of a pearl fetish, coating her face and body with hundreds of small pearls before attending the amfAR benefit in New York.

This, to kick off fashion week in New York, a sign that pearls may play a big part in the upcoming week - good news for purveyors in 2010.

Pearls can only be appreciated by a true hermaphrodite!

Overkill, probably, but still I agree with the end of your assessment that this is probably good news for pearls that one of the hottest names in fashion is embracing the pearl trend.

lady Gaga heralding the rise of pearl prices - give us a break . Pearls will go up a little bit , but on the whole, they have had their day !

Fabulous for the pearl world. All of it. Lady GaGa is one of the most outrageous and smart cookies out there. A good musician and extraordinary performer. Sexy, powerful, intense....all in lustrous pearls. WOW. Bring it on! Anything that rivets the attention of a younger market to pearls is fine with me!

Yes any focus on pearls by someone in the lime light like Gaga should be seen as positive.There have been many promotions in the past , sports stars catwalk models . There was a time when buyers would beat a path to a producers door , no promotion needed . Good quality pearls were hard to come by relativley rare in relation to demand . When it heads back that way surviving producers will have a chance.

The photo seems to give the appearance that she has been involved in some Poke Her Face!

Yeah I thought a lot about blogging about this recent appearance, but in the end decided against it- the look is just so... fugly. She looks like she's got curdled something all over her face, or maybe some yeasty nasty rash. Ewwwww.

They don't look cheap, they are cheap. Pearls use to be rare and expensive but now they are everywhere and cheap. Pearls were for royalty but now you can by them online everywhere and they are the death of the industry......

Actually the look is more like the infamous "pearl necklace" so popular in the adult film industry.

Bill Walton, still a Deadhead, now says he wants to go on tour with Lady Gaga. Go figure.
