WEIRD -- BUT TRUE? Lady Gaga May Be Moving To The Prepster Capital Of America: Martha's Vineyard!

Can Gaga really ‘fit in’ on an island known for it’s love of Lily Pulitzer, Vera Bradley and polo shirts? We think not!

Lady Gaga is reportedly SO gaga for the idyllic island of Martha’s Vineyard, Mass. that she’s in the process of buying a house there! But the meat-wearing pop princess is going to stick out like a sore thumb on preppy island!

Sources tell WWD that the 24-year-old “Poker Face” singer is going to spend some serious dough on her digs, and if the amount she spent on her new 6-bedroom, 8-bathroom Bel Air, Calif. mansion – $25,000 a month! – is any indication, her island home is going to be amazing!

The real question here is this: how on earth is Lady Gaga going to fit in with the preppy people of Martha’s Vineyard? Can you imagine her wearing a whale belt or a polo shirt with the collar turned up? Please! Or pairing her Vineyard Vines skirt with a Vera Bradley bag? Not hardly!

If Gaga GOES move to MV, she’s going to have some upper-crust neighbors who may (or may not) appreciate her flair for the dramatic. Jake Gyllenhaal, Ted Danson, Bill Clinton, Spike Lee and Dan Aykroyd all have homes there!

this is seriously the worst researched article i’ve ever read. lady gaga will not be coming to the vineyard to hang out in town and be seen. celebrities like the vineyard because vineyarders know how to leave famous people alone. i’ve seen bruce willis, grant hill, larry david and others walk down main streets in edgartown and not be approached by a single person. celebrities return to the island because they are left alone, which is exactly what lady gaga will want when/if she moves to the island for the summer.

whoever wrote this article is a retard

As a resident of Martha’s Vineyard I can see you know nothing about why the celebs flock here. It is to escape from the dress codes and the dress up, not to embrace it. We are of the comfortable, even if frayed clothes and all wear good shoes.

Dear people.
LAdy gaga is not going to have any hard time fitting in here. The island, believe it or not, is not home to one singular type of person. Neither preppy collarpoppers nor reticent down-dressers are kings of martha’s vineyard, we are nice quiet, beautiful, welcoming place for any and all types who feel like they like it enough here to come.
Start loving.

My greetings to the Lady.

Lady Gaga is heading to a territory which she is not belong! Seems to me her popularity is affecting her head seriously, her ambition is getting too high. She definitely reminds me of Bjork, once used to be the pop princess of Iceland with a rebelious mind like Bob Dylan. She was actually the first pop star who weore ridiculous outfits out of rebellion, where I think Lady Gaga got her inspirations for having the famous, outrageous clothing lines.

1. the people that vacation there are the “preppy” ones
2. she will ruin my island home
3. real people LIVE THERE YEAR ROUND, Obama taints parts of our summer season enough as it is.
4. nothing good will come of her being there. I refuse to share my island with that.

I live on the island and I can see ONLY good coming from Miss Gaga moving here. She can find the rest and piece they will not give her in Hollywood, here she can just be one of us, down to earth people.
And the writer of the article should do her homework better! This island is anything BUT preppy! Fisher men, artists, musicians, teachers, normal people LIVE here, the preppy ones she discribes, only come here a few weeks out of the year!
Miss Gaga, I welcome you!

peace. not piece.

Where the hell did anyone come up with idea that Martha’s Vineyard was “preppy”? That’s the stupidest thing i’ve ever heard. In fact, they take pride in dressing down.

*does, not goes.

she will ruin that island if she has her way. people go there for privacy, something she has no desire for. her goal is just to get in everyone’s face constantly, something the people of that island aren’t interested in. they just want to relax. my guess is that she’ll also be strictly limited on any outrageous building she tries to do. they control the island pretty closely. argh. i sure hope she changes her mind- it’s such a nice place to vacation, and it doesn’t need her monstrous presence. if she were going there for anonymity, i wouldn’t have a problem- but my guess is she’s just going there to piss people off. the locals will hate her. i hope they run her into the mouth of jaws…

Amen.

I think lady gaga throws tons & tons of random fabric in a pile, goes out in the wild and finds some emus, randomly has them pick out a few articles & has someone sew them together. That’s how she gets her outfits.
