Welcome to the Fame Factory

The 52nd Annual Grammy Awards took place last night 

at the Staples Center in LA and despite the poor choice of winners 

by the Academy (eh hem.... Taylor Swift winning Album of the year),
the dresses and gowns that the celebrities showed up in were killer.
The Superstars (Gaga and Beyonce) rocked it harder than ever 

but the industry newbies (Lea Michele and Keri Hilson) 

gave them a run for their money.

Here are my favorites of the night:

As for the best performance of the night, it was obviously Gaga.

She had a oversized green sequin leotard, duranged back-up dancers,
a huge "Fame Factory" set complete with a fire pit,

a double-ended piano with her signature "claw" hands growing out of it,

and a little someone I like to call, Sir Elton John.

Suck on that, Taylor.

Oh and did I mention that Gaga's dress is a 

one of a kind made especially by 

Mr. Armani?
