jeff s: Dear Amy:
I hope your dream comes true. I think you are the best hostess of any GBLT activity. I hope all is well.
Sincerely,
Jeff Shapiro.
WOW! That GAGA! She keeps pushing it further and further and further and
FURTHER. Go on! I predict at this pace she could totally eclipse Madonna as
the most edgy pop star of all time. She just gets it - or can I say that we
as Gays get her. You go girl! Not that I have any understanding of what she
means by a Bad Romance.
;)
Check out the new video for yourself.
(and to think we gave her her big start at Gay Idol in 2008....jk)
