Thanks, i'm working in the meaning of applause video

WOW

thought she used the magnifying glass as a reference to Little Edie. :)

There is logic in everything that she does. *u*

ARTPOP is about the age of aquarius

The painting is by Egon Schiller, as is the quote. A contemporary of Gustavo Klimt, an amazing artist like Gaga xx Check him out!

q listo eres!!

Gaga's using a magnifying glass, but the woman in the painting is holding a mirror. Nuda Veritas is latin for Naked Truth, the mirror is the mirror of truth. And you forgot to add to your translation: To please many is bad. Which is what Gaga wants and does. This is why I believe that this painting has nothing to do with Sex Dreams, even though there is a similarity in hairstyle.

the magnifying glass is explained at last!! thank you!

GREAT THANK YOU SO MUCH! you are the next sherlock holmes haha

Good discover. You are a genius. I did not understand why she was using a magnifying glass.
