Avoiding the Rack

Lady Gaga has been especially colorful this year and it reminds of none other than the Power Rangers . So if you have enough fabulous friends to dance the night away with then I would love to see some Gaga Rangers this year. Here are some samples of what I mean: Pink Gaga Ranger Purple Gaga Ranger Green Gaga Ranger Blue Gaga Ranger Red Gaga Ranger Yellow Gaga Ranger   Black Leather Gaga Ranger Evil Three Headed Villain Gaga  With Gaga's repertoire of looks from just this year alone, the possibilities for Gaga Ranger outfits are pretty much endless. Lady Gaga knows this herself and has even capitalized on the idea by selling mass produced Halloween costumes on her website .
