Lady Gaga's Getting Ready For Her VMA Rehearsal, Which Could Mean, Well, Anything (PHOTO)

Gaga warms up for her VMA opening set. Is she teasing performance details? Is something a-FOOT?!

Lady Gaga is resting on approximately ZERO laurels in the wake of releasing her "Applause" music video and jumping straight into rehearsals for her 2013 MTV Video Music Awards performance. (Her set's opening the show, so it's gotta be tight!) In fact, we're having, like, the hardest time picturing Mother Monster doing anything even resembling laurel-resting. Resting on crystals while practicing the Marina Abramovic method? Yes. Resting a hand precariously high on her backup dancer's thigh? Duh, look up. But laurels?! Why... WE NEVER.

Posting the above image to her Facebook, Gaga captioned: "See you at the MTV Video Music Awards on August 25th #VMARehearsal? #Applause." Hmmmm, we wonder if this visual's supposed to clue us into what we can expect on Sunday, Aug. 25? Unlike the "Applause" video, we don't see a whole lot of "Little Edie/'Grey Gardens' fantasy" or drag queen realness in this shot, but we do see a whole lotta flexible-as-EFF foot action going on. What, is Lady Gaga gonna deconstruct the very concept of "putting your hands together" by applauding with her FEET?! Well... wait, actually, we could totally see that. She should totally do that.*
