As if all things Lady Gaga weren't crazy enough already,
someone sold one of her fake acrylic nails at auction for $12,000. The
nail was found by a crew member after a Mother Monster concert.
According to the "unique memorabilia" auction listing on ArtFact.com, it was designed by Japanese nail artist Aya Fukuda.
To make the nail more enticing at auction, the seller
added a staff handbook, event t-shirt, and crew wristband from the show
at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland, in September 2012. A photograph
was also included with the nail to prove it was indeed missing from
Gaga's hand. A letter from the consignor was included as well and
described how he came across the valuable claw. "I noticed an object on
the floor of the stage, which at first I thought was a guitar plectrum,"
it says. "When I picked it up, I saw it was an acrylic nail."
There's no word on what the new owner of the nail plans to
do with it. Maybe it will go on display, maybe it will go on a finger.
Maybe it will be used as some kind of elaborate toothpick. With these
little monsters, you just never know.
