“I am obsessed with all the authors in the library of pop culture.” – Lady Gaga
In her inaugural piece for V Magazine Lady Gaga wants you know that she has done her homework.
“Glam culture is ultimately rooted in obsession and those of us who are truly devoted and loyal to the lifestyle of glamour are masters of its history. Or, to put it more elegantly, we are librarians.” says Gaga.
She acknowledges the “tremendous amount of studying” she has done over the years in her “library” that featured “Everything from vintage books and magazines I found at the Strand on 12th Street to my dad’s old Bowie posters to metal records from my best friend Lady Starlight to Aunt Merle’s hand-me-down emerald-green designer pumps.”
And for you non-believers, Gaga says “dear critics and bullies: get your library cards out, because I’m about to do a reading.”
