Going Gaga for Lady
Get over it, girlfriend — Lady Gaga ain’t just yours anymore. The feisty pop vixen was born here and made her first moves in the gay clubs of the Lower East Side, but she’s a global superstar now and you’re just gonna have to share her fabulousness with the rest of the world. Gaga’s made quite a mad dash towards celebrity in the last year-and-a-half — four top five singles, eight million records sold, an armload of Grammy nominations, last week’s Oprah appearance — and it’s especially impressive considering she’s done much of it balancing on an abso-fucking outrageous pair of ten-inch Alexander McQueen stilettos.
But Gaga don’t forget where she came from. “When I started in the mainstream it was the gays that lifted me up,” she told Out last summer. “I committed myself to them and they committed themselves to me, and because of the gay community I’m where I am today.”
She’s back in town this week when her Monster Ball tour rolls into posh Radio City Music Hall for a four-night residency that winds down Sunday night. Rah-rah-rah-ah-ah!
