Lady Gaga used to be unique, but not any more.
Print Edition
The pop star unveiled life-size dolls in her likeness, dressed in her flamboyant costumes, at an event in Tokyo. Anyone leaning against a silicon doll’s chest can hear Lady Gaga music and messages.
Gaga said she was honored to have replicas of herself. When her friends saw the dolls, “they were so excited to take pictures of me with the dolls and then all of a sudden the dolls took over. And the dolls were the most important thing in the room. And this is a beautiful thing.”
Japanese industrial and design companies teamed up with her record label to create the Gagadoll, inspired by her “Artpop” album. They’re prototypes not yet available for sale.
At a news conference, the 27-year-old singer made her entrance wearing a red plaid jumpsuit and wrapped in coils of the same fabric.
Gaga is taking part in a charity auction for victims of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. She’s hoping one of the two Gaga-styled Hello Kitty dolls will raise money for the cause.
Gaga said she was looking forward to returning to Japan with the “Artpop” tour.
