(6)Is it possible for Lady Gaga to look like a normal human being? That is the question on many a persons mind these days. Generally, we would have said no, she's clearly been beamed down from another planet, and abandoned here, because her own race found her hard to deal with on a daily basis as well.
Personal comments aside, and much to our shock, evidence has emerged that goes some way to suggesting that Lady Gaga might be a normal human being after all. Of course, it has taken a world class talent to reveal the other side to Gaga.

Wolfgang Tillmans is a German photographer and artist, and is easily one of the most important and influential contemporary figures in the art world today. Perhaps most notably, in 2000, he was the first photographer, and first non-English artist to be awarded the Turner Prize.
Tillmans has recently done a photoshoot for i-D Magazine, which features Lady Gaga looking as normal as possible. That is, if you're able to over look the shoes. The feature in the magazine is not about Gaga, but rather about the photographer himself, his attentiveness to the photographic medium and his insightful view of the world around us.
The shoot easily proves that Tillmans is not scared of a challenge, and that it is wholly possible for Lady Gaga to be considered a normal human being…just.
