LADY GAGA FRAGRANCE TO REFLECT BLOOD AND SEMEN

With all her recent fashion and merchandise collaborations including BBarney’s of New York, Lady GagaLady Gaga fans in Atlanta are curious what her fragrance in the making will smell like… The rumor mill claims that the fragrance in the making will be called “Monster” which in itself is not all that surprising as the Queen of Pop likes to call herself “Mother Monster” and her fans “little monsters.”

What’s more surprising – if not shocking – is that Gaga claims that the perfume will be based on the molecular structure of semen and blood. Though earlier reports indicated that Lady Gaga’s fragrance will smell like “blood and semen” the controversial and iconic pop singer clarifies that the smell will capture the “after-feeling of sex from the semen and the blood is primal.”

Monster’s blood element itself will be based on the molecular structure of Mother Monster’s own blood! Gaga explains that they took a sample of her own blood so that there’s a sense of having her on our skin. The award-winning singer claims that she also wanted to sort of “extract the feeling and sense of blood and semen from molecular structures.”

Oddly enough, a company called “Blood Concept” already released four different fragrances called A, B, AB and O, referring to the four blood types, which were formulated to smell sharp, spicy and metallic – just like blood. Nevertheless, the new fragrance, which has been in the making since 2010, will smell nothing like semen and blood but in her own words, Monster will smell like an “expensive hooker!”

Glad that’s been clarified Lady Gaga!

A CUTE POEM FOR A CUTE GIRL

You changed my world with a blink of an eye

That is something that I can not deny

You put my soul from worst to best

That is why I treasure you my dearest Marites

You just don't know what you have done for me

You even pushed me to the best that I can be

You really are an angel sent from above

To take care of me and shower with love

When I'm with you I will not cry even a single a tear

And your touch have chased away all of my fear

You have given me a life that I could live worthwhile

It is even better everytime you smile

It so magical those things you've made

To bring back my faith that almost fade

Now my life is a dream come true

It all began when I was loved by you

Now I have found what I am looking for

It's you and your love and nothing more

Co'z you have given me this feeling of contentment

In my life something I've never felt

I wish I could talk 'til the end of day

But now I'm running out of things to say

So I'll end by the line you already know

"I LOVE YOU" more than what I could show
