The always outrageous Lady Gaga appears nude in her debut on the cover of gay-interest publication Out Magazine.

Pop music’s newest innovator channeled a series of B-horror movies to create a portfolio of images that are just as campy as the woman herself. Ellen von Unwerth, the lenswoman who brought Gaga to the pages of Out, says she the shoot was inspired by her desire to transform Gaga into “a kind of Frankenstein’s bride who gets attacked by a sexy vampire and becomes one herself.”

Before agreeing to tour with Kanye West this fall, Gaga told the rapper, “I just want to be clear before we decide to do this together: I’m gay. My music is gay. My show is gay. And I love that it’s gay. And I love my gay fans and they’re all going to be coming to our show. And it’s going to remain gay.” That’s another clause in the Gagaland constitution: Gay culture shall gush undiluted into the rapids of society. It shall not be co-opted, fancified, dolled up, or Uncle Tommed. “I very much want to inject gay culture into the mainstream,” she says, “It’s not an underground tool for me. It’s my whole life. So I always sort of joke the real motivation is to just turn the world gay.”
