Trendsetter, human rights activist, shock factor extraordinaire, comrade and role model to millions – she is Lady Gaga.

With an estimated 15 millions albums and 51 million singles sold worldwide, the 24 year old New York native is not up for games, but evidently to make a difference. Lady Gaga has 2 official studio albums under the belt, The Fame and The Fame Monster with hits such as Bad Romance, Alejandro, Poker Face and Just Dance. She also recently released a remix album which features all of her chart toppers.

For those of you that know me personally will know that I’m a sucker for all things dazzling, whilst every now and then she seems dressed under the influence. Here are some of my all-time favorite hits and misses…

We die - how cute is this? A bit orange there Gaga?

WTF meisie?

Braai en 'n biertjie Sondag?

Just last month she spoke at a rally to appeal the “Don’t ask, don’t tell policy” which prohibits bisexual, gay and lesbian people from openly serving in the US Military. She courageously accepted the best New Artist Award at the 2009 MTV VMA Awards and boldly stated “bless God and bless the gays” during her acceptance speech

Her upcoming studio album “Born This Way” will be released in 2011.

In the infamous words of Katy Perry “There is no competing with Lady Gaga, she'll just fucking run you over.  She eats, breathes and shits this stuff”

Extending the Runway: Tatiana Sorokko Style an inspiring and historically import fashion exhibition drawn from the private wardrobe and couture collection of international model Tatiana Sorokko makes its U.S. debut, September 16 at Phoenix Art Museum. Spanning the 20th century through, the exhibition is an engaging look at works by legendary designers and fashion houses such as Jean Paul Gaultier, James Galanos, Ralph Rucci and Vivienne Westwood.

Tatiana Sorokko was among the first Russian models to achieve international success after Perestroika. Moving from Moscow to Paris in 1990, she walked the runways for major designers such as Yves Saint Laurent, Hubert de Givenchy, Karl Lagerfeld, Miuccia Prada, Issey Miyake, Alexander McQueen, Marc Jacobs and Calvin Klein. For over a decade, Sorokko graced the covers and editorial pages of European and American magazines such as Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Elle and Cosmopolitan. Her influence as an international style setter and taste maker extends well beyond the runway; Sorokko was named to the International Top 100 Best Dressed list by American Vogue in 2000 and the Best Dressed Women of All Time list by Harper's Bazaar in 2007.

Extending the Runway is a celebration of Sorokko's international fashion career, her trendsetting vision and unique style. The installation encompasses two Museum galleries and features 60 garments and accessories by Balenciaga, Balmain, Comme des Garcons, Fortuny, Ferre, Halston, Hermes, Madame Gres, Patou, Paquin, Ungaro and Yamamoto, among others
