for Lady Gaga
She wears horns
She is hatched
She is (not) like Madonna
She is (not) like Beyonce
She is (not) like Christina
She is not like Brittany
She was hanging from a cross
She was dripping lots of blood
She was dripping, draping meat
She is Dada
She is daddy
She is (not) mommy
She is Gaga
She is gagging
She is super(ficial)
She is assemblage
She is (dis)assembled
She is abject
She is eject
She is reject(ed)
She is gendered
She engenders
She is androgyne
She is a(borted) fetus
She is probably chromosome
She is covered with costume
She is covered with custom
She is covered in carnal
She is (not) herself
She wore horns
She was hatched
She hangs (from) a cross
She is (not) like Madonna
She drips blood
She drapes meat
She is (not) (her)(self)
