Lady Gaga has unveiled VOLANTIS, which she is calling the World’s First Flying Dress.  In reality, it’s just a helicopter/inverted hovercraft sort of gizmo that has something that sort of looks like a dress where a seat should go.  The YouTube description proclaims that the “dress” was “built by the TechHaus, the technical division of the Haus of Gaga.”

…  I’m sorry, what now?Haus of Gaga is the “personal creative team of pop performance artist Lady Gaga and is responsible for much of her distinctive and individual style.”  That’s fantastic – Lady Gaga has a “team” that “is responsible for much of her distinctive and individual style?”  That’s the best sentence ever.  I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that the woman behind this performance isn’t the most creative of people.

Anyway, the Haus of Gaga designs some of Lady Gaga’s weird shit (and by “weird shit,” I mean they take existing objects and attach other existing objects to them), including:

Lady Gaga’s bubble dress, which is just a flesh colored leotard with plastic balls glued to it.

There’s this thing they call “EMMA,” which is just an electric standup bass fitted with a big piece of wood on the back, to which they mounted a keyboard and a drum machine pad.

And there’s this – a trike with a keyboard mounted to it.

Anyway, great…  Gaga can sort of fly now.  I suppose she’d like some “Applause.”  See what I did there?
