To promote her next video for the single You And I from her album Born This Way, theatrical pop performer Lady Gaga gets in touch with her masculine side by dressing up as male alter-ego Jo Calderone, reports Hitfix.
A year ago, Gaga suited up for a Vogues Hommes Japan fashion shoot styled by Nicola Formichetti – of meat dress fame – and shot by Nick Knight. The male model was listed as ‘Jo Calderone.’
The singer recently Tweeted new photos, apparently resurrecting Mr Calderone for You and I, writing "You will never find what you are looking for in love, if you don’t love yourself.”
The black and white photos are well-styled, and if one didn’t know, with the sideburns, stubble, and facial expression, one would be hard-pressed to identify the subject as female.
Filmed in Nebraska last month, the video for You And I may also depict another of Gaga’s alter egos, a mermaid Yuyi.
The singer is planning to launch the video in conjunction with her 1,000th Tweet, and she’s currently around 995.
