GLAM OR SHAM?: Judge the Looks from Glee's Lady Gaga Episode + Video!

If you're anything like me, you went Gaga for Glee's tribute episode last night.

Alongside amazing renditions of hits like "Bad Romance," and "Poker Face," the Glee cast each dressed in one of Lady Gaga's trademark looks. From the plastic Armani Prive construction at the Grammy's to her famous dress of Kermit the Frog stuffed animals, it was all there in it's outlandish Gaga glory. Even football player, Finn (Cory Monteith), wore a red dress like Gaga's famous outfit to meet the Queen.

I won't give away too much of the plotline (which is oddly, or fittingly, dramatic) but I will say the mini-Lady Gaga fashion show during their 'Bad Romance' performance made my year (Walk, walk, fashion, baby...). I LOVE that Lady Gaga has enough iconic looks to outfit the entire Glee squad! But as the resident Queen of Glee, Kurt, said "She changes her look faster than Brit changes sexual partners." Indeed.

Costume designer, Lou Eyrich, insists that that the plethora of Gaga-inspired "costumes are not replicas." She told InStyle "We wanted it [to] look like the kids made them." Umm...I could never make a dress of bubbles like the one Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz) wore but okay.

Check out the looks below alongside the Gaga-inspired outfits. Did Glee's hair/costume people do a good job on recreating?

And scroll down for video of Glee's 'Bad Romance' performance.

Who could forget Gaga's bubble outfit? Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz) gets to rock the look.

Gaga's plastic Armani Prive dress at the Grammy's was a fashion hazard. Quinn (Dianna Agron) wears the dress to cover up her baby bump in pink.

Has a lobster head ever looked more high fashion? Britney (Heather Morris) nails the look.

One of my favorites, Mercedes (Amber Riley) recreates Gaga's bow hair with a purple wig!

The costume designer, Lou Eyrich, dished to FOX that she scoured yard sales for stuffed animals to create Rachel's (Lea Michelle) interpretation of Gaga's Kermit look.

Get into it! Kurt (Chris Colfer) gets to prance around in Alexander McQueen-inspired heels like in Gaga's 'Bad Romance' video. Lucky guy!

Here's the performance via MTV/Fox:

What do you think of the looks? Were they on point? What's your favorite? I liked the lace unitard, and the McQueen-inspired heels the most.


And how much did you LOVE the episode? (P.S. I'm totally going to be Gaga for Halloween! If she's still popular...)

ABC Claims They Never Rejected Lane Bryant's Plus-Size Lingerie Ad, Calls It a Publicity Stunt

ABC is under fire for their alleged decision not to air Lane Bryant's plus-size lingerie commercial, claiming the ad was too risque. Like, huh? Victoria's Secret models writhe and pose half-naked in commercials during prime time shows all the time, like American Idol for example. The Victoria's Secret commercials are no less "racy." The only difference is that the Lane Bryant models are full-figured. Sounds like good ole prejudice and discrimination to me. And Lane Bryant is not happy about it.

FOX allegedly rejected the commercial as well, after asking Lane Bryant to change it so only the model's face was showing, 'lest anyone realize she isn't stick thin.

The popular plus-size brand took to their website to criticize ABC and FOX for discriminating against plus-size women earlier this week. Now, ABC has responded with a statement calling the ordeal a fabricated "publicity stunt." Messy.

I just can't imagine what reasoning the network execs could have behind rejecting the ad, besides the obvious fact that the model is full-figured. Lane Bryant claims ABC execs felt the plus-size models had too much cleavage, but that's entirely untrue as both Victoria's Secret and Lane Bryant models are on the busty side. And in my opinion, the Lane Bryant commercial is more tasteful that many VS ads I've seen. 

But you be the judge.

What are your thoughts on the issue? Is it discrimination? A matter of taste? Is the ad too racy? Discuss.
