"A police officer told me to put my ass up against the fence because I was not appropriately attired to be seen by children"

Excerpts from the Lady Gaga profile in the Sunday Post:

Lady Gaga sums up her life in eight words: "I am a self-made New York hustler."

Born in Yonkers, she cut her teeth in Manhattan clubs like the Mercury Lounge and Bitter End, and spent time toiling behind the pop curtain writing tunes for the likes of Britney Spears, New Kids on the Block and the Pussy Cat Dolls.

And!

"I was wearing very short hot pants and a police officer told me to put my ass up against the fence because I was not appropriately attired to be seen by children. I told him I was an artist, but he didn't care. Where I come from they were just normal hot pants, but in Chicago they were indecent."

Tape delay

The week-or-two-long morbid curiosity over Lady GaGa will (I hope) end soon. Until then! The Superficial had the following shot yesterday:



With this comment:

Lady GaGa decided to pull the ol' "Pretend to Take Pictures of the Paparazzi" routine last night while leaving Bungalow 8 in London. It's a celeb tactic to deter the paps from taking shots because your face is obscured. Of course, it's slightly more effective when, I dunno, you're not wearing a see-through shirt with tape over your nipples.

Meanwhile, I'm not comparing these two in any way whatsover, but the electric tape reminded me of Wendy O. Williams... And I can't believe it has been 11 years since she died -- April 6, 1998.

P.S.

Sorry for all the nipples today.

Noted

The LES legend continues...Yes, it's Lady GaGa:

"I do have a bit of a rock and roll heart even though I'm a pop artist. But I'm a different kind of punk. I like clean, sophisticated lines and detail, which is why I love Chanel and Versace!"

"If people are inspired by my looks, then I love that I'm affecting culture. But I do think that whatever your influence you have to be careful to execute properly."
