Who is the true fashion pioneer?

So earlier this week my friend sent me a picture she had seen on twitter. It was a picture comparing Kelis and Lady Gaga's style. So I had to go check it out with my friend Google. What I found on my search caused me to have an epiphany. Which I will explain in a little bit, but here is what I found out doing research.
So it all started because Kelis showed up to an event in interesting outfit

people have commented that she was taking from Lady Gaga's crazy style. This has made Kelis fans upset. So they came out with this picture...

showing that it is the opposite. The truth is the Kelis has been eccentric since the first day she stepped on the scene. She has been a trailblazer in fashion, but in the mainstream world I think she is a little of an underdog. People forget that she had the short haircut that Rihanna and the other girls are rocking now years ago. Here is a picture of her from 2006...and Rihanna in 2009...



Okay so here is my epiphany...well there is two. All these people have made this big deal that Kelis is trying to imitate Lady Gaga. Well anytime someone does anything eccentric they say there trying to be like Lady Gaga. No offense to the Lady Gaga fans out there but OMG I am tired of the comparison. Lady Gaga is not the first person to come out and wear crazy things. People have been doing this for years and there will be more people after her. People have forgotten about Cher, Labelles, the list goes on. So the fact is fashion is a revolving circle.
