Lady Gaga Pelted With Eggs, Unable To Move Because Of Mermaid Legs


There is something descriptive and delightfully surreal about this post's title -- stirring up visions of the unholy spawn of a Salvador Dali painting and Andrew Wyeth's "Christina's World." This may be why I slightly suspect that the incident described by Rolling Stone as taking place in an Australian Lady Gaga concert might have been staged as yet another Gaga absurdist performance art piece:

"A group of angry fans threw eggs at Lady Gaga in response to her recent appearance on stage in Sydney, Australia rolling around in a wheelchair. Though the throwers missed Gaga herself, a few eggs hit members of her entourage. It is unclear why audience members had the eggs in the first place, however."
Gaga was portraying her mermaid alter-ego Lori Lemaris Yuyi at the time, and had her legs bound together in a fish tail -- preventing an easier escape from the eggs. She has reportedly been criticized by activists for making light of those who actually require wheelchairs.

Maybe the eggers were Delores DeLago fans.
