Lady Gaga is known for her quirky behaviour and androgynous lifestyle. She is a gay icon and wants to be the next Carmen Miranda. However, she isn’t all that great and just because she is rainbow friendly doesn’t mean I m going to like her more than other talented icons such as Madonna and Kylie Minogue. She recently performed on a Damien Hirst-painted piano at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Los Angeles.

They celebrated their 30th Anniversary and some of the attendees included Pharrell Williams and Japanese superflat master Takashi Murukami. The piano which Lady Gaga used was auctioned off for $450,000. I am sure there are many fans of Lady Gaga who would like her for her infantile music and quirks that seem barely campy though she tries hard to be so.

She is also one of the best selling artists these days but paying $450,000 for a piano that she played on is simply too much to believe. It should not sound like a rant but Lady Gaga could learn a thing or two from Madonna and make better music. However, there would be many who would disagree with me and these are just the opinions of one blogger. It should not matter much.

I am not really sure if this is the most expensive of all the vases I have come across but it certainly is one of the most contemporary and stylish ones I have seen. The Baccarat reflex vase which has been designed by Nicholas Triboulot is postmodernist in nature and has been carved out of clear full-lead crystal.

Only five of these amazing vases have been created and each costs $10,000. It even comes with a sign and number in order to maintain the exclusivity. The idea of placing flowers in such a vase actually does not seem to occur to me, as the vase is too futuristic, not that I am complaining.

If you are really into contemporary design and art, you could get this for yourself and I am sure this would also be a great investment as art connoisseurs a couple of decades later might try to get this for insane amounts of money. Oh yes, it has been handcrafted in France of course.
