Die Fringe-Off

London
Feb 09, 2011

Us? Take cheap pot shots? Neve- well, OK, OK, when it comes to our favourite whipping gal, to try and refrain from taking a swipe is like having our bestest toy put on a high shelf waaaay outta reach. Anyway. After mega LOLZing at Lady Gaga being told to get the hell out of her former apartment on 60 Minutes with Anderson Cooper (let's face it, who'd let that in) the one thing that struck us more than her residential rejection was her new 'receding hairline' barnet.

Like, way to plagiarize a hair-do, homegirl. This albino-meets-Dave-Hill-from-Slade look has been looted literally follicle-by-follicle from Yolandi Vi$$er - AKA probably the most effortlessly coolest, hardest bitch in music. For the uninitiated, Vi$$er co-fronts Sarth Effrika's finest - and scariest - rap/rave/hip-hop/zef cartel, Die Antwoord (The Answer).

Seriously, for all her faux masquerading as the pioneer-of-originality, Gaga actually needs a slap-upside-the-head with a hardcore dose of it. Even in the artwork for her new single Born This Way she is totally channelling Vi$$er's vibe. So in the micro-fringe wars who does it best? Cape Town's albino princess or the predictable NYC identity bandit? We know who our money's on and die antwoord is....
