Sunday Diva / Three From The Hip: Lady Gaga

Sunday Diva / Three From The Hip: 

Lady Gaga

In my own personal big gay church, there is a wing dedicated to those who are strikingly unique, one of a kind pioneers. 

Or... they just have a knack for borrowing the good stuff.

I mean, hey... If you're going to borrow? Borrow from the best! Am I right?

And this lady? She has an eye for style - be it Bowie, Madonna, Cleo Lane, Lana Turner, Bette Midler, or Cher.

Well, it is, indeed, a talent. And one that has served her well. 

Gaga is a thief? Naw. She's an empath - someone who is able to divine the very essence of what makes that something speak to the world. She absorbs. She regurgitates. She puts her own spin on it.

Make of that what you will. But it all comes from a very good place... a well-intentioned soul.

And her world? It is all-inclusive. Her fervent desire is, that through her, every individual will come to love and respect themselves; embracing themselves for who and what they are. 

To do that? One must be courageous. And this one?

Baby, she was born that way.

The gospel according to her?

Well, here's three from the hip, dropping from her lips.

The topic? Being fearless.

“All that ever holds somebody back, I think, is fear. For a minute I had fear. Then, I went into my dressing room and shot my fear in the face...”

“Never be afraid to be kicked in the teeth. Let the blood and the bruises define your legacy.”

“You have to stop crying, and you have to go kick some ass.”

And one last parting shot...

“Once you kill a cow, you gotta make a burger”
