Now Showing | Linder Sterling’s Fashion Turn - NYTimes.com blog Are you pleased that Lady Gaga is popularizing some of the aesthetic and conceptual concerns in your work? Sterling: It makes me laugh when people like Gaga appropriate my ideas without understanding my intentions. But I guess it is flattering. Morrissey recently visited Lady Gaga after one of her shows. On her dressing room wall, in a silver Gothic frame, was a print of the collage that I made in 1977 of a woman with an iron as her head and smiling mouths over the nipples. Lady Gaga said to Morrissey, “I always decorate my dressing room with the images that I like.” If that collage is one of Gaga’s icons of inspiration — and we all need them, as much as air and water — then that’s great. But feminist history isn’t just a dressing-up box. Feigned cultural amnesia is never very attractive.

I'm nearly afraid to open any of the new articles for fear that it'll just be another verbal lynch mob coiling the noose around Morrissey's (or each others) neck(s).
Didn't Morrissey himself once say "it takes guts to be gentle and kind"?
I'd like to see that philosophy implemented more often around here, and the people who would bury him before his death permanently removed from the site.
It's supposed to be a celebration of the love we have for him. Not a shady platform for anonymous abuse.

Go away! You're done with him? THEN BE DONE!
He doesn't care, he has your money. He has years of your life tucked into the back pocket of his designer jeans.
This is a site for people who actually still care. People like you remind me of the type to pull out dusty old Smiths vinyl, pissing and moaning about 5 years in the 1980s that will never return! You are so boring that dust bunnies run for cover when you enter the room. Pardon the language, but just get the fuck over it, or get the fuck out!

Puppet accounts are a joke. If you're an asshole, people will put two and two together based on your attitude/writing style, so you may as well be who you really are.
My name is George Patrick Coates, and I currently reside in Oregon, U.S.A.
Everything I write, I stand by. Like I said, I like his music. I come here to get news on this wonderful artist, and I support him by buying his albums, concert tickets, and other assorted merchandise. I have no "direct line" or relationship to Morrissey, nor do I care to.
If you're done with Morrissey, and have nothing good to say about him, then be done. Be quiet.

Artists' intentions (Score:0)
The artist has an opinion, of course, and the viewer has to be able to back up the opinion s/he has (if, for example, you argue that the message of CLOCKWORK ORANGE is that people can change, you have to account for the fact that Alex does not actually CHANGE so much as Alex is SUBMERGED and is still aware of his nature), but if you don't agree with the artists' personal intentions, it doesn't mean you don't 'get' the work.

I also imagine that it was no coincidence that Gaga happened to have that picture up on that particular day. I'm sure it really is an "inspiring" image for her (and it is a piece I personally love) but when Morrissey's coming over, you can hardly suck up better than citing his best friend.

plus how did she know she didn't understand the picture? just because she said she puts up pictures i like it doesn't mean she has no idea what its about, it does have an iron on her head, it doesn't take a genius.

You Make Me Laugh Linder Parasite. (Score:0)
Linder Parasite art is:
i) A poor copy of artist David Hamilton's POP Art cica 1960s
ii)Hanging on the famous tail coats of Morrissey - who made her name only slightly 'recognisable'.
iii) Now hangs on the fame of Lady GaGa too.
How parasitic can you get?
Without Morrissey, Linder is nothing and now she is using GaGa in the same manner.
This is how poor, how unnoticable and unorigional her work is.
Oh, and to 'name drop' in conversation (as suggested by DeBrett's Guide To Modern Manners) only shows how devoutly insecure Linder is socially and professionally.

Gargle (Score:3, Interesting)
Sterling seems to lightly caution Gaga from using it merely as a 'cool, weird, dorm-room poster' to make herself seem more cool to others. Does Gaga care or understand what the poster truly means and its commentary about gender, gender roles, and objectification in our society (and whether we have really progressed in 33 years)? If she did, she didn't convey that to Moz (and then hence to Sterling) when she had the chance. Moz himself has explored these issues in his work throughout his career (via his music and his images).
It would have been at least more impressive for Gaga to specifically credit Sterling, 'I love Linder's work...' to show she at least knew the artist, just as it would have been more impressive for her to say 'I so love that bubble dress Kristeen Young designed and wore on your tour for 2 years and owe her for the fame I've gotten in it.'
Well, she doesn't and goes on collecting her own fortune with a pokerface.
Jeers,
