ABSTRACT
Lady Gaga exploded onto the popular music charts in 2008, selling millions of CDs, cycling through hundreds of dramatic and provocative costumes, and achieving a level of cultural resonance that made her ubiquitous by 2009. If you somehow missed her throaty “Ga ga oh la la” on the radio, there’s little chance you missed the media coverage of her meat ensemble, her egg enclosure, or her Kermit the Frog dress.
