just ask Macy Gray. \u00a0But, then things got interesting.<\/p>\n<p>You may realize as I do that everything Lady Gaga does is followed closely by some sort of organization. \u00a0This time is no different. \u00a0The American Association for Nude Recreation, supporter of nudist colonies everywhere, have issued a formal invitation for Lady Gaga to join up with them. \u00a0However, even the 80 year old organization doesn&#8217;t believe (accurately) that the world of television is ready for such a thing, so instead they offered a variety of ideas including:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Conduct a benefit concert in the buff at AANR&#8217;s annual convention at\u00a0member resort Laguna del Sol in Wilton, CA this August 8-14, 2011;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Shoot her next GagaVision video blog in the nude at one of AANR&#8217;s\u00a0fun nudist resorts;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Be timeless and have her next television interview in her birthday\u00a0suit at a nudist resort;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Or, as many nudist resorts annually putting on music events such as\u00a0Nudestock and Nudeapalooza, Lady Gaga could make an appearance at one and\u00a0sing &#8220;Born this Way&#8221; the way she really was born, in all her naked glory\u00a0while in front of all her adoring little naked monsters who happen to be\u00a0AANR members.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If you didn&#8217;t know that there was a Nudestock or a Nudeapalooza, then welcome to the club. \u00a0In fact, I didn&#8217;t even know that the AANR existed. \u00a0Even with their involvement I still think this particular publicity stunt is ridiculous and shallow, but I am now grateful to Lady Gaga for yet another thing &#8211; I now know that there is such a thing as Nudeapalooza.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s just hilarious.<\/p>\n<p>Updated &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/the_prophet_of_pop\/2011\/04\/lady-gaga-goes-country.html\" target=\"_blank\">Lady Gaga Goes Country and Dolly Parton Loves It<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/theprophetofpop\" target=\"_blank\">Follow the Prophet of Pop on\u00a0<strong>Twitter<\/strong><\/a> and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/prophetofpop\" target=\"_blank\">on\u00a0<strong>Facebook<\/strong>!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lady Gaga has come up with another way to etch her name into the annuls of pop history &#8211;
