Lady Gaga is on tour, starting in Europe…and as expected, the show features fabulous costumes and choreography.
Awesome. An arachnid’s dream.
I was so tempted that I even looked up her tour venues, and fortunately, for anyone who shouldn’t go out into crowds indoors (like everyone), Minneapolis isn’t on the list. I guess I won’t put myself at risk!

And here I thought she was auditioning for a David-Cronenberg-inspired production of Cats.
Raging Bee says
I bet she’d at least have some fun in “Cats.” That’s the sort of lark/side-hustle I’d expect from the Lady who worked with Tony Bennett.
And as for that costume, it’s not my cup of tea, but I’ve seen far worse. Sort of arachnid-Bridgerton?
PaulBC says
She looks more like a mantis than a spider to me. Am I missing something?

Isabella Rosselini got there first and better (more scientific) with her Green Porno series! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cf5qXiS2-_U
PaulBC says
hillaryrettig1@4 Wow. Now I know what’s been missing in my life all this time. (Seriously.)

OK. This is Perfect Cell* after rising another level.

More over-the-top, decadent spectacle.

@3 I was thinking that the antennae more closely resembled Coleoptera antennae but maybe it’s just me. Arachnida was not the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw the costume. Those antennae don’t kinda say Cantharidae or Lampyridae to you?
Artor says
I was thinking of orchid mantises.

weylguy@8
You say it like it’s a bad thing.
John Morales says
PaulBC @3, was my first thought — having been primed to realise it was not just a regular fancy costume; I imagine it’s more like a mantis would munch on a spider than the converse. Not that I know or am about to research it.

@3 PaulBC
The title?
Surely this is not a blog where one has to point out spiders are not insects?

PaulBC says
Silentbob@13 Well yes, but Lady Gaga’s costume doesn’t look like a spider to me. Isabella Rosselini’s on the other hand, no mistaking that.
Tethys says
I see a mantid, or the latest design from Iris Van Herpen.
Do arachnids dream of electric flies?
