I was deeply saddened and affected by the news today that British fashion designer Lee Alexander McQueen had passed away in an apparent suicide triggered by the death of his mother about a week ago. The suicide of his friend Isabella Blow (who helped discover Lee, also in the above David LaChapelle photo for Vanity Fair making it quite ominous, note the skull looking thing bottom right, both are now dead, holding McQueen's train who is in drag, brandishing a flame in front of a burning Hedingham Castle and a fallen knight) three years ago was apparently also a contributing factor; these suicides in the world of high fashion are quite indicative of the fashion industry as a whole. I'm not particularly in the mood for speculation but Isabella's relationship with her military office father is somewhat suspicious (Sir Evelyn Delves Broughton) and her mother's behavior following her brother John's death age 2 who drowned in a pool then her mother calmly went upstairs to put lipstick on (see this Mail article for details on her messed up "elite" family and also has info on her former husband's). Isabella's husband (aristocrat art dealer Detmar Blow) left her "so Detmar could father a son with a fertile woman and ensure his particular branch of the Blow family would remain in charge of Hilles" (typical "elite" obsession with keeping power within the bloodline). During this period she underwent electroshock "therapy" for "bipolar disorder" (usually just used as an umbrella [mis]diagnosis for various psychological disorders like DID; these electroshock sessions may have had something to do with her repeated suicide attempts, potentially where her self-destruction programming got started) before eventually successfully committing suicide after numerous attempts. Now McQueen has joined her in committing suicide, it has been reported that he hung himself.

With milliner Philip Treacy, whose career she helped get off the ground also (symbolic hats and the boy's faceless black mask is the most sinister). Below with Kuwaiti royal family member Sheik Majed al-Sabah (serpent-like pink/purple headpiece).
As far as I am concerned they are just more victims of the fashion industry and the "elites" that control it, I won't post an article from the media as they just seem to be endless tributes and clichés when someone connected dies. So here is my quick 'tribute post' of a few images pertaining to him I haven't yet posted, I was genuinely upset by this news when I heard it on the radio driving home today (especially because I was a bit worried my posts may have contributed, though I considered it very unlikely, a commenter stated that it had and claimed to know someone who knew McQueen personally, but I suspect they are not being truthful [Edit: My initial reaction of sadness and shock had nothing to do with the commenter, looks like I was correct in that they were full of it, just someone using this man's death to mess with the blog for their own amusement.]). Bearing in mind his death now, his skull and bones themes in his final fashion show are all the more significant, arguably foreshadowing his own demise.
Alexander McQueen wearing the White Rabbit head (I think it is him anyway, they are interviewing him in the piece called 'Alexander McQueen' so it's supposed to represent him either way). McQueen at the end of one of his fashion shows as the White Rabbit below. From "McQueen's Kingdom" (W Magazine, photographer Steven Klein) with the masked models, all in black, one riding Satan/Baphomet, the other two hanging in the air, one upside down. Here is one of his campaigns from last year, with it's primary themes being multiple [personality] mirror and fractured [mind] mirror effects, black/white checker patterns and red. Check out this post for some more videos of his various fashion shows featuring symbolic themes (particularly of note are the below occult one, checkerboard one). Here is another intriguing show to finish which I had not posted from one of his Autumn/Winter 2001 show (carousel horses, venetian mask makeup) and after it in the same video, a short clip of a show the following year (model as the Spanish bull fighting impaled sacrificial bull).
When appearing on a radio show, clothing is the last thing a celebrity needs to worry about. [Daily Mail article link (posting for the butterflies, black/white duality, Alice in Wonderland suggestion etc). I can barely bring myself to cover this doll :| I just find her so incredibly depressing, I kind of hoped people might pick up on her dirty as fuck and MK suggestive lyrics her songs have and her obviously programmed demeanor; but alas she is apparently "original", "inventive" and with "her own sense of style". Riiight. Check out some of her previous videos (assuming they're still working, you can always google if they don't) at my previous posts on her, and the other video I haven't posted is at the end of the post, usual sex-doll suggestions and such]
But not being seen on radio was no reason for Lady GaGa to give up her usual immaculate appearance as she arrived at the BBC Radio 1 studios to discuss her new single Paparazzi.
As a bona fide style chameleon, the singer doesn't hang on to one fashion for long.
After sporting a variety of inventive hairstyles in recent months, the eccentric New Yorker decided to give her locks a rest and showed off her new fashion fetish for hats.
Hat's entertainment: Lady GaGa flew into London last night in a black straw hat, and sported another black and white hat this morning [poor butterfly ;S, they are even on her shoes]
The 23-year-old arrived in London last week to promote her new single and to celebrate the success of her debut album The Fame, which has been at the top of the UK album charts for three weeks.
After a brief sojourn to Germany over the weekend, Lady GaGa returned to London last night sporting her newest accessory - a black star hat.
The hat was pinned up off the singer's face with white butterflies attached to it, matching her butterfly-adorned leather gloves.
Tea party: The singer arrived at the Radio One studios carrying her favourite cup and saucer [added older picture in purple wig below, something fishy about that 'tea cup' no doubt (like Britney and Co I assume she has a British alter, probably something to do with that; also Alice in Wonderland mad tea party etc)]
This morning, the pop star showed off another item from her hat collection - a black and white stripey number.
In contrast to her recent risqué sheer and minuscule outfits she is famous for wearing, the Let's Dance star has been going for the 'lady who lunches' look in recent days.
Entering the Blakes hotel in Kensington last night, the star - real name Stefani Joanne Germanotta - wore a white puffball skirt and black v-neck top with her oversized hat and sunglasses.
[Like Katy Perry, she also released an album under her real name (Katy Perry/Hudson; see split mind cover in the linked post) with expected themes (red and blue important colours [combined make purple ((see her purple hair streak below))], one eye covered [one of her trademark standard illuminist slave ritual posing, one eye covered/encircled/whatever] by hair 'Something Crazy' etc) before she was almost literally turned into a doll.]
Lip service: The eccentric star had her mouth painted into a puckered pout
Arriving at the Radio 1 studios this morning to perform during Jo Whiley's Live Lounge, GaGa looked like she was going to a wedding or Ascot in her white suit and hat combination.
She added a touch of eccentricity with Geisha-girl style [also doll style] lipstick and carrying a China cup.
Lady GaGa has a fondness for a patterned china tea cup and saucer and was left distraught last week when she temporarily misplaced it.
Don't rain on her parade: Lady GaGa was sheltered by an umbrella even though the sky was clear
She left the cup and saucer at Nobu last Friday and sent a black cab to the restaurant to collect it once she realised her error.
Her spokesperson said: 'Lady GaGa does not want to reveal anything about the teacup itself, but drinking ginger tea is very good for singers.' [All this batshit insanity should give some people a clue something isn't quite right...]
As well as appearing on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross last week, she is also set to appear on The Paul O'Grady Show later this week.
Writing on her Twitter micro-blogging page last night, she said: 'En route airplane, back to London.
'Can't wait for Paul O'Grady and to flutter around the beautiful city [she is a butterfly; the internet adds a very interesting dimension to celebrity Monarch slaves], I love you my amazing UK fans.'
[Anyway, the below video for Love Game I should post with her wearing chainmail and cage style metallic glasses, phallic light stick, standard GaGa electroshock symbolism, she is encrusted with jewels (a la Britney Toxic), standard black bondage/biker hat (with one eye hat tilt), the crotch grad (Michael Jackson-esque) that ends the video is significant also, I'm mainly posting for the lyrics (i.e. "Don't think too much just bust that stick. I wanna take a ride on your disco stick.") though (also didn't the word "love" used to actually mean something? probably before I was born).
Chanel's interlocking C's are very symbolic (see Chanel post)
Quickly to show the MK used by her handlers (set designers/managers/actual MK handlers all have a say, the performer virtually never does) in concert, shattered mirror is the major theme in it (also note her pink/purple hair streak; black/white duality, if you watch the second video down you'll see all the usual one eyed shots/mirror symbolism in the intro videos). Not sure if I need to say it every time but it shows her shattered mind, don't forget 'gaga' is an expression used on someone who is "crazy" (so mental illness/MK suggestion).
The above article tells of her Catholic school upbringing, then onto stripping, drugs etc; now a world star (she went to the same school as Paris Hilton and others, big hint).
Couple of earlier shots here of Stefani (Gaga), below rocking the tranny hooker look (note disco ball [fractured mirrorball] zebra-print and such) with 'Lady Starlight' (see below).
Again Lady GaGa + Starlight (note leopard-print, iron maiden [torture device], phallic mushroom etc).
She seems to be twinned with 'LadyStarlight' or something (Starlight is in red shoes + love those horns ;).
She wears a lot of black latex catsuits (+note the chains). GaGa in black latex catsuit + ballet fetish boots.
Headache Ms Gaga?
Are they fucking serious?![worth clicking both (hand of fatima, mannequin-thing (("The World's most fashionable Scarecrow!", so oz programming)) wink, etc usual kitten suggestions "purring" and such in the left page)]
[last image is fanmade, you can obviously see why he/she made it though (same hair as Barbie, she's a doll of course)]
