America has developed an obsession with the FX’s hit television show "American Horror Story." This season is titled “Hotel” due to the fact that it takes place in the Hotel Cortez in Los Angeles, California.
Lady Gaga plays one of the main characters, The Countess, a rather mysterious woman who is the owner of the hotel. She slinks around the penthouse with her lovers, while looking amazing at all times. Did I mention she’s a chic and immortal vampire that feeds on various victims?
I used to love Gaga during her “Just Dance” phase of her early career, but once the infamous meat dress phenomenon occurred I started to fall off the bandwagon. But this season of AHS has got me hooked back on Gaga!
Here are 6 reasons why Gaga slays in "AHS":
1. Gaga wears only the chicest garments.
Gaga is known for her outrageous outfit choices, but she has never looked better than she does in this season of AHS. Costume designer Lou Eyrich has done an effortless job by picking the chicest outfits from each time period The Countess has lived. Gaga literally hasn’t had a bad outfit yet.
2. The glove.
The Countess wears this trendy glove with every outfit, which conceals her razor sharp blade that she uses to cut her victims throats.
"We needed to build an armor glove that was an accessory that could still look good with an outfit. The design concept came from Ryan. I went to the jeweler Michael Schmidt here in L.A., and he designed all the sterling silver skulls and the nails." Eyrich said.
3. Gaga’s actually a really good actress.
She plays the part of The Countess effortlessly. I find this mostly due to the fact that she’s a very mysterious person. As we see The Countess grow as a character, the audience is exposed to the multiple facets that define her. As the story goes on and the flashbacks ensue, there are so many different dimensions added to her character that make her act the way she does.
5. The Countess literally has had the hottest arm candy, quite literally.
She's so sexual and can seduce just about anyone she sets her eyes on. This season has definitely been the most provocative one yet.
Her initial lover is Donovan, who is played by the beautiful Matt Bomer.
She then trades him in for the reckless model Tristan Duffy, played by Fin Wittrock.
You then learn she was married to James Patrick March, played by Evan Peters, who originally built the hotel for her in the early 1900s.
In addition to Ramona Royale, played by Angel Bassett, whom she was with during the 70s-90s.
And her latest lover is Will Drake, played by Cheyenne Jackson. She's trying to seduce him due to the fact that he is the new owner of The Cortez.
5. Her army of adorable matching blonde children.
Although they are a little frightening and we are unclear of their actual purpose, The Countesses band of children are "sahcute".
6. Gaga is a ruthless bad*ss betch.
Don't get in her way because she will cut you up, drink your blood and toss you aside like yesterday's news.
