Lady Gaga Gets Racy in Esquire

For Esquire‘s ‘Women We Love’ issue, an old friend of the often-shocking Lady Gaga, Brendan Sullivan, wrote an article on her early days–when she was merely Stefani Germanotta. Sullivan says in the article that he had always known where Lady Gaga was headed and who she would become, saying:

“Back in the summer of 2007, there was a night when she popped out of a wedding cake and sang “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” for my then boss, the owner of Beauty Bar Manhattan. It was fitting, somehow–the Marilyn reference. I’ll quote something she said to me one day around that time as directly as I can: “No one in the world knows who I am, but they are going to want to know who I am. My first time ever on TV I want to be on a huge show where I play one song. I’m going to come out onstage in my underwear and show the world hat here I am and I don’t give a ffffuck what anyone thinks of me.”
