"Born This Way"

Lady Gaga

Being that it recently celebrated it's 10th Anniversary, Being that it's Tuesday Tunesday and Being that it is Pride Month. Here's Lady Gaga with the ultimate Pride Anthem, Born This Way!

This is clearly a mash-up of Madonna's Express Yourself & Vogue, with Gaga's own spin on them. BTW for those of you who think she did this without Madonna's permission, uh, think again.

Madonna is biz savvy and having this out there keeps her relevant, enough said.

While this is far from my favorite Pride Anthem, it is always a staple, not to mention it is on the forefront of everyone's mind this Pride Season because of the Birthday it recently celebrated.

Hey there are far worse things to do than get your Gaga during this time of unity and love, so why not hit the video below???

World Pride

She's Got Spirit!
Lady Gaga

Today is the official last day of World Pride, and while the party may be over, the celebration should continue. "Yes" life should be a celebration every damn MotherF#cking day!

Bear witness to Lady Gaga sauntering her way in rainbow regalia to The Stonewall Inn, the place where the first Gay Pride was literally a riot. Hence on the 50th Anniversary of the historic event which transpired on June 28th in NYC - the Pride Party this weekend in the city of origin is an extravaganza!

So of course Gay ally our Lady of Gaga is out in full force and rocking it like a unicorn! Hey, she was Born This Way...

Thus on the last day of the party I leave you with this delightful image to remind you to keep on keepin' 365 days all the time. You and your life are a reason to celebrate!

Rainbow High Five!

Monday Motivation

Let's Get Unconscious, Honey-
Madonna & Lady Gaga

"There's got to be a morning after, If we can hold on through the night, We have a chance to find the sunshine, Let's keep on looking for the light" - Morning After, Maureen McGovern 

"Yes" peeps it's the morning after The Oscars - who saw Olivia Colman winning over Glenn Close. No one! However Social Media is buzzing at present about this image of Lady Gaga with her Oscar for Best Original Song and Mama Madonna holding them both.

Honestly, can I be frank? I have never felt there was any "rivalry" ever between the two. They trotted it out when they each had something to promote and then it went away post haste. 

Let's get real when Gaga did Born This Way a hybrid note for note of Express Yourself and Vogue she had to have had permission to do it. Otherwise Madonna could have sued and won. These two are partners in crime make no mistake about it.

Oh, yeah, what's today's Monday Motivation? Cheers to women supporting each other. Hey we should all support each other as human beings. Go out and be the best version of you that you can possibly be. Even if you actually suck as a human being, try to suck less today.

Size Matters

Born This Way
Lady Gaga 

You know the old adage "size matters" correct? Well it does kids, especially when it comes to Lady Gaga.

Gaga recently attended a screening of the documentary Gaga: Five Foot Two at the Toronto Film Festival. What's it about you say? If you have to ask...

One of the more revealing moments, literally, in the chronicle of our Lady's life leading up to the release of her album Joanne is her going completely topless by her pool while having a discussion about her wardrobe for the upcoming Joanne tour with her team.

She was Born This Way, naturally.

Honestly I never realized Lady Gaga was so tiny, I didn't think she was tall either, more like Five Foot Six would have been my guess.

This shows us size does matter, it matters in the way you use it. Think about it, but not too much.

And How's Your Love Life?

Keeping It Real
Lady Gaga & Taylor Kinney

This is what happens when you hire Lady Gaga as guest editor for the Spring issue of your magazine V. Copious amounts of creativity with a side of S-E-X. Most likely that's why she got the job in the first place, you knew you would not be let down!

Gracing the cover is an image of Gaga and her husband to be Taylor Kinney covered in paint post making love on a paint canvas on the floor. The post sex selfie shot by Kinney. What, were you expecting...Martha Stewart Living? 

Oddly or perhaps not so much, the idea was Taylor's.

"I asked Taylor to collaborate with me on a project to raise money and awareness about mental illness, and he immediately brought my attention back to this idea." Gaga states. 

Are you scratching your head at this image? The dynamic duo intends for the photo to be a beacon of love during a particularly torrid time in international affairs. 

"During tumultuous times, we hope everyone in the world will see this and be reminded to love each other wildly, generously, totally, colorfully, without fear and with compassionate hearts," Gaga spills on the site. "We made a galaxy of endless colors with only brief, black holes of emptiness that are then filled by each other."

Hey you two, invite me to tag along next time!

The issue will be available online on Jan. 14 and all proceeds of the $50 issue will go to Lady Gaga's Born This Way foundation.

"I'm beautiful in my way, 'Cause God makes no mistakes,I'm on the right track baby,I was born this way. Don't hide yourself in regret,Just love yourself and you're set,I'm on the right track baby.....I was born this way" Born This Way - Lady Gaga

Hey Mr. DJ put a book on...well OK that is not what a DJ usually does, but in this case DJ Paul V. has, put a book out.  

Paul  Vitagliano (in case you haven't guessed that's what the "V" stands for) has written a book.

"Born This Way: Real Stories of Growing Up Gay" (Quirk Books; $14.95; October 9, 2012) is 
a collection of adorable childhood photographs accompanied by sweet, funny, and at times 

heartbreaking personal stories of those who grew up LGBTQ. Based on the popular blog of 

the same name, Born This Way is a celebration of growing up gay, childhood, and 

community history and awareness.

With some notable celebrity stories included as well: Congressman Barney Frank,blogger Perez Hilton, Erasure's Andy Bell, columnist Michael Musto,composer Marc Shaiman, radio host Frank DeCaro, singer Sia,and drag superstars Jackie Beat, Coco Peru, and Sutan Amrull(aka Raja, Season 3 winner of Ru Paul's Drag Race).

So what does Mr. Vitagliano have to say about all this?

"I'm really proud of this project, and the connection I hope it brings to both kids (gay and straight alike) and parents - who especially need to be aware of what our experiences are/were like. And more importantly, to put the message out there that gay kids need their parents' unconditional love and support"

And proud he should be, with wonderful reviews and great support from the LGBTQ Community Paul has plenty to be happy about, hey, he was "Born This Way".

Check out the groovy trailer for the book below....
