Just when you thought she couldn't get any stranger, Lady GaGa ups the ante.
The famously eccentric songbird has posed for a bizarre series of pics for cult brand Hello Kitty, designed to celebrate the famous white cat's 35th birthday. And she keeps her eyes closed throughout.
In the first, GaGa donned a jewel-encrusted bra with a matching eye-piece, Marilyn Monroe-style locks, fishnet tights and a Hello Pussy purse strung around her waist.

In the second, meanwhile, she posed against a gold backdrop, with Hello Kitty's signature red bow in her hair, and manga cartoon eyes drawn over her lids.
She also donned a dress made entirely from Hello Kitty cuddly toys, and a sleeveless black leather biker jacket teamed with vertiginous Hello Kitty heels.
The images - by celebrated photographers Markus Klinko and Indrani - will feature on the cover of the special, limited-edition reissue of GaGa's hit album, The Fame.
The 23-year-old New Yorker - who is already renowned for her outrageous fashion choices - is reportedly giving away a lock of her hair with every sale of the box-set.
According to her website, it will also include a pair of 3D glasses to view 'forthcoming Gaga visuals' and the definitive 'book of Gaga'.
The Hello Kitty line, by Japanese company Sanrio, encompasses toys, stationery, clothes, stickers and home appliances.
