“It’s quite awkward to be talking about my passion about the AIDS crisis and the gay community while doing my makeup but…Viva Glam!” — Lady Gaga, V Magazine 2010
This spring, kooky pop stars Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper join M.A.C. as the latest ambassadors of the cosmetics brand’s Viva Glam campaign, which has raised more than $130 million for the M.A.C. AIDS FUND since 1994. V Magazine caught up with the divas, who were snapped in a series of poses by famed photog Ellen von Unwerth, as they dished about their plans to help stop the spread of HIV/AIDS.
Gaga says: “I had an HIV test two days ago – and it’s not because I’m taking off my clothes every night with a different man. When I’m on the road, I forget about taking care of my body. I don’t go to the doctor as regularly as if I were in one place all the time. So I woke up and thought, ‘Oh, I’m home in New York. I’m going to see my gyno and I’m getting an HIV test.’”
