V Magazine is an American music published since 1990. The magazine is about fashion, pop culture and music. Many musicians and artists have covered the magazine, such as:

- Gisele Bundchen

- Britney Spears

- Nicki Minaj

- Beyonce

- Brad Pitt

- Natalie Portman

- Gwen Stefani

& others

However, I'm focusing on the recently released and now on sales, Lady Gaga V71 Magazine.

Let's take a look:The magazine is now on sales and V Magazine offers the choice of buying the regular magazine, Chinese edition and then a limited-edition hard-cover book with a special edition shirt. The shirt features the first picture on a white t-shirt.

This is Lady Gaga's 3rd time covering the magazine. She covered it in 2009, being photographed by Mario Testino. (One the best + my favorite photographers)

Oh! I can't forget to say that Lady Gaga is making her editorial debut in this edition.

"In V71 The Asian Issue—on sale now—debut columnist Lady Gaga extols the virtues of keeping up with the A to Z's of culture , fashion, and art."

"This issue of V is an online exclusive featuring limited-edition covers. V67, ‘The New York Issue’ features Lady Gaga and Marc Jacobs photographed by Mario Testino with styling from Nicola Formichetti. The duo collaborates on all four. The cover artwork is by Dan Colen, Nate Lowman and Spencer Sweeney. The alternate cover features Marina Abromovic and Tyson Ballou with artwork from Aaron Young"

(I would show the alternative cover but it is a bit too inappropriate)

Here is Lady Gaga's first magazine cover:

"Gaga over Gaga"

Here is an excerpt from the article:

"By all rights, Lady Gaga should be exhausted. She has just spent a whirlwind weekend in Toronto at the MuchMusic Video Awards where she turned in an elaborate performance that culminated in fire shooting from her breasts, and afterwards was present for at least part of an ugly postshow confrontation between her pal Perez Hilton and members of the Black Eyed Peas; it was all over the tabloids. “We haven’t slept,” admits Gaga. “We just got off the plane and came here. It’s like, Get some orange juice and coffee, motherfuckers! Let’s get to work! It’s not every day you get to shoot with Testino.”Quite. Mario Testino, the man at whose altar the world’s most glamorous fairly genuflect, spends five hours with his lens trained on the year’s decade’s most outré pop star. Some might expect Testino would get the famously pants-less wonder to, well, class things up a bit. “It’s funny you should think that,” says Gaga, in a voice just raspy enough to make it clear she knows her way around a party. “Actually, Mario wanted me naked all day long. It was my stylist, Nicola, who kept sneaking in the designer stuff. He was like, ‘Put this Fendi belt on right now!’ We love clothes. But Mario, he really understands me, and he said, ‘I want this to be about you. I don’t want it to be about the clothex's.’”

The concept was really shooting the essence of Gaga, who she is,” explains best friend Matthew Williams, creative director of the Haus of Gaga, the singer’s design collective. Gaga adds, “You know, the glasses, the hair, the tan—I’m known for that. So we just made me übertan.” And pumping through the speakers all the while? Naturally, “Poker Face.”

It is the year’s most inescapable song. From the “Mum mum mum mah” robo-Gregorian chant of the opening to the slinky verse to the singsong hook—it’s 2009’s “I Kissed a Girl,” “Since You’ve Been Gone,” and “Womanizer” rolled into one, at once sillier and smarter than all three. It’s one of those tunes against which resistance is futile. Even rockers like the Arctic Monkeys, Weezer, and Faith No More have busted out their own versions this year, much to Gaga’s delight."

I love all three covers. I will certainly share my thoughts on the V71 article as soon as I get it in the mail and read it. I'm so excited. I'll also share a picture of the three headed Lady Gaga.

ALSO, I have to mention this: For Gaga fans, click this link, Lady Gaga, to make your own Haus of Gaga card. (Its free if you just download it to your computer) However, I bought one that VMagazine will send to me in the mail. It was $6. I will also take a picture and share it.

I knew I had to include a V Magazine blog post because it is my favorite magazine. The magazine is the epitome of Pop Culture. I am a huge huge fan of the magazine. It is so inspiring. I love all the colors, the articles and the inspiring artists, musicians, celebrities and models who cover the magazine.
