Yesterday we sat down to chat with our favorite Jersey girl, Snooki. On the agenda: Discussing her new eponymous fragrance for Perfumania (debuting November 25th in stores and online), boys, beauty, and more. Keep reading for the scoop—and to find out which of her Jersey Shore cast members could use more common scents.
What type of girl do you imagine wearing your perfume?
My perfume doesn’t discriminate. I pretty much designed it for the whole female race. I mean, who wouldn’t want to smell fruity and sexy but flirty at the same time? It’s a young, clean scent.
How long did it take to develop the fragrance?
We started making it in April and getting it done in time for the holidays was really stressful. But we got it done! I wanted it to be amazing—I wanted it to be like me.
CQ Watch: Lady Gaga’s “You and I” leaked music video
She could not be terribly pleased about it, but nevertheless the music video for Lady Gaga’s latest single “You and I” is out. The songstress was meant to launch the video to the globe on Thursday to coincide with her 1000th tweet, but some naughty small monster beat her to the punch by leaking the clip on the internet these days.
As you can image the video is littered with unbelievable garments, with Gaga generating numerous costume modifications all through. A few of the stand-out pieces incorporate a custom produced dress by Jan Taminau and Hussein Chalayan, custom leather harness by Zana Bayne, and vintage wedding gown created by Norma Kamali. Shoes were by Mugler and Pleaser, and hats provided by Philip Treacy. For the full run down of each and every appear, check out Nicola Formichetti’s weblog. He need to know, he was the fashion director on the shoot after all!
Lady Gaga Would Wear… Finsk Sandals
This is some thing only Lady Gaga would put on, I feel. As it is a marvelous shoe, outstandingly creative but implacably dangerous for anywearer’s health (plus these of the ones surrounding him / her at the inevitable time of his / her fall)!
I stumbled across the Finsk 116-97 type sandal (or what ever it’s called) in Cinza (that’s the color / model as I understood) and I believed I really should come present it to you! Due to the fact you might miss out on Louvre, but you cannot miss out on this type of shoes extravaganza (joking, biensur! Even though, I’d happily take Louvre as an alternative of this Finsk $ 999,95 sandal! How about you?) (much more about the finsk creativity here)
Lady Gaga on the Cover of Vogue, on Her Little Monsters, on Being Down to Earth…
On the eve of the release of “Born This Way,” Lady G’s much-buzzed about soon-to-drop new album, Vogue Contributing Editor Jonathan Van Meter headed out on tour with the global phenom that is Gaga —and discovered a remarkably poised star at the top of her game who nonethless admitted to being “quite down-to-earth for such an eccentric person.” The feature is actually quite witty, including descriptions of skyhigh shoes that “make her feet look as if they are screwed on backward”; the fact that her relationship with her fans, her “little monsters” as she calls them, could “verge on unhealthy, as if both sides were overly invested in something that in the end is impossible; and how Gaga is tailor-made for a 3.0 world: “a human synthesizer, a style aggregator, the perfect Wiki-Google-YouTube–era pop star.” Check it out in the March issue, on newsstands February 22nd.

Lady Gaga Wears Viktor & Rolf in Jail and Other Fabulous Fashion in “Telephone”
In her new avant garde fashion fest of a video “Telephone” featuring Beyonce, Gaga wears a fabulous custom Viktor & Rolf jumpsuit. “Lady Gaga asked us to design a prisoner's outfit," explain the designers.

It is styled with a huge pile of exaggerated metal chain necklaces.”
An homage to the 60s & 70s violence-driven sexploitation flicks like "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" and the women-in-prison genre (or WIP to true grindhouse afficionados), Tarantino's fabulous Pussy Wagon from Kill Bill ("I'm Buck, and I'm here to fuck!") even makes an appearance! Styled by Nicola Formichetti, here are some killer (so to speak) looks from the "Telephone" video:

Jean Paul Gaultier for Target – Mais Oui & Here is What We’re Jonesing for…
As the third designer in Target's Designer Collaborations series in which an established designer draws inspiration from a collaborative partner, muse or creative element, the Hermes designer (and re-designer of the classic Hermes Birkin) – not to mention Lady Gaga fave and one-time assistant to fashion legend Pierre Cardin – decided to repackage our #1 export, pop culture, and serve it right back to us with a tasty dose of cheeky French panache. “My collection with Target pays homage to the wide range of personalities that make up the diverse styles of American women,” says the designer. “From ingénue to rock ‘n roll, this collection celebrates women of all ages and a host of distinctive, iconic American styles.”
His fusion of rocker chic, Silver Screen glam, and Hip Hop attitude celebrates Stateside style, meaning flirty silhouettes and classic shapes embellished with laser-cut embroidery, poplin and mesh details, and pops of bold color for modern flair. And with prices starting as low as $18 and on up to only $200, it would be a Capital Crime against Couture not to pick up something fab & fun. “Jean Paul Gaultier is a fashion icon who is known to push boundaries and create inspiring, yet timeless designs,” adds Trish Adams, senior vice president, Target. “Target is honored to partner with such a renowned designer, and to bring Gaultier’s craftsmanship and creativity to women across the country, at a great value.”
Collection highlights include his signature Breton-inspired stripes, tattoo-print mesh leggings, a criss-cross bandage dress, cropped two-tone leather moto jacket, and a sleeveless black & white poplin buttondown shirtdress with coordinating longsleeve shrug. Our must-haves (above) include the classic trench with jaunty stripes; striped tee with anchor print; tres jolie draped stripey top with flirty floral skirt & pink floral frock with rolled collar; "face" tee worn just as shown under a snug strapless dress; and drapey red jersey tank dress.
