Lady Gaga Gives Me Crazy Jewelry Ideas

February 15, 2011 by WendyB

Last year, I made myself a special set of rings to wear to a Lady Gaga concert. I’ve posted them before on this blog, but here’s another look at them just for the hell of it.

Click for my post on the concert, including an outfit photo.

After I saw the photos of Gaga’s egg-tacular entrance at the Grammys on Sunday, I kept thinking, “This reminds me of something jewelry-related.”

Oh yeah! My chicken-in-egg locket!

Three views of my egg locket. The egg opens up to reveal a chicken, which opens to reveal three little eggs.

Gaga, call me! I’ll make you an egg locket that opens up to reveal a tiny version of yourself.

Meanwhile, I still dream of a series of Poker Face-inspired designs. Cheek jewelry, anyone?

Lady Gaga's cheek decoration from her Poker Face video.

People are constantly hitting my blog while searching for “butt jewelry.” Imagine if I started offering “cheek jewelry”! The butt-jewelry searchers would be all like, “Yay …. oh, damn.” It would be like the time on Family Guy when Peter was disappointed by fruit stripe gum.

Would it be cruel to tease the butt-jewelry fans like that?

UPDATED TO ADD: Speaking of jewelry worn by my musical crushes, I was very curious about the necklace Eminem was wearing at the Grammys. Now I know it’s an Alcoholics Anonymous symbol. Shady, if you ever want your copy of the Big Book blinged out, holla at me!

    And egg locket that opens up with tiny version of Gaga sounds just like something she would love.

    Why not just go ahead and design some butt jewelry so they won’t be disappointed?

    My all-time favorite Gaga post is this one over at ABDPBT: http://tinyurl.com/25eveje

      Hilarious. She’s lucky the Beliebers haven’t come for her yet!

    Either Gaga is an incredible intuitive or she really knows her Greek mythology. Do you know the orphic egg? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orphic_Egg
    I think her ability to hold both genders at once is extraordinary and speaks to this incredible symbol of the hermaphrodite.
    I am gaga over your egg jewelry!

    Okay, the butt and cheek jewelry thing just made me laugh hysterically and I really needed a laugh tonight! That’s awesome. 🙂

    Uhm… I guess I’d like it if you designed some butt jewelry too, because then I’d at least know what it looks like lol

    I am certain that you could use cheek jewellery on any kind of cheek. Perhaps Gaga needs some butt jewellery? Maybe a butt-egg so it looks like she is laying a miniature version of herself!

    Your Gaga rings are just fabulous, heres hoping you get a call from the lady herself soon! xxx

    Em’s necklace is indeed an AA symbol. That triangle appears in different incarnations in 12-step programs. Don’t ask me how I know this!

    Don’t tell Em it’s also a “gay” symbol . . . .

    Anyway, I love your train of thought here, as usual!

    Whoa, Eminem is SUPER veiny in that photo of him wearing the necklace. He totally needs to rock some WendyB finery.

    Lady G. needs to purchase your egg locket.

    I loved those pictures of you at the Lady GaGa gig. That ring is freaking fantastic. Butt jewellery? You’re kidding. I’m a bit scared to Google it. x

    Hoping that Gaga takes you up on that offer. That would be so cool.

    PS That Family Guy video is genius.

    Hi Wendy~thanks for stopping by my blog! I love your jewelry and LOVE the Gaga rings and the egg locket–how about the egg thing she did, eh? Wow. Joan Rivers on Fashion Police was pretty funny about it…Paula

    I wanted to say something intelligent and well-thought in response to your more recent posts, but now all I can think is… “BUTT JEWELRY???”

    I just purchased this outrageously beautiful cross necklace and it has a small metal tag that says You and I with a bit U surroung it and a small i. I can’t find any jewelrly manufacturer for it. I’m wondering if it isn’t a Lady Gaga piece. Its a brown metal left cross with deep orange rhinestones with a double dark brown chain.
    Thoughts?
