A couple of days ago, the performance artist arrived in Sofia, Bulgaria carrying the canine in a Louis Vuitton leather handbag, à la Paris Hilton. But today she decided to go for a more provocative dog-carrying look, cradling the puppy in the armpit of her massive fur coat. The effect is very Cruella de Vil.
If Lady Gaga wants to channel a puppy-napping villain, PETA is, of course, more than happy to treat her like one. The animal rights organization has already released a statement reminding the pop star that during the 2010 meat dress controversy, she said to Ellen DeGeneres, “I hate fur, and I don’t wear fur.”
In PETA’s statement:
But by wearing those dumb furs in a heat wave, you’re making yourself a target just like the mindless Kim Kardashian. As we plan our fall campaigns, please tell us whether what you gracefully told Ellen was heartfelt or just a pose.
If I were a betting man, I’d put it all on “just a pose.”
