Tokyo gets a taste of bad romance

MANILA, Philippines - MAC Cosmetics and the MAC AIDS Fund hosted the Pan-Asia Viva GLam launch in Japan with an electric performance by Viva Glam spokesperson Lady Gaga featuring a MAC-inspired piano, designed and crafted by Canadian artist Terence Koh. Making a grand entrance with a Japanese wedding-inspired procession, an all-white Lady Gaga was led on onto a rotating stage, taking a seat at the piano and performing a heartfelt version of Speechless.

From Tokyo the Viva Glam piano, signed by Lady Gaga, went to New York City where it was auctioned at the Donatella Versace/Anna Wintour Art of Elysium event. The funds were donated to The Harlem Hospital’s Family Care Center in New York, a program that provides compre–hensive medical, psychological and social services to HIV-infected children and their families.
