to say yeah you are supposed to sing but it does it gig isn't that yeah I have to sing lies when you're your title of singer you should sing yes yeah not just in the studio but actually when you pay money to go see somebody had nice to be here there even this mistakes or anything it's nice here all right so uh but let's talk about the clothes okay this is I was hugging you and what is this made up some type of a latex okay it's very thick thick plastic is that comfortable is it
is it breathable is it was it it's fashionable it is well it's from a very good friend of ours from London they're amazing and they make all kinds of latex fashion for me they did it for the bad romance video which I because seriously the outfits that you come up with are and do you do you all of a sudden like are you dreaming do you take some type of a drug to you like where does your inspiration come from when you want to say where that thing that is well actually and these are all
different designers on some of them are the the Kermit the Frog outfit is John de consumo Jack the what's been known as the bird's nest hat it's Philip Treacy who's one of the most famous hat designers in the world so I always think it's funny people call the bird's nest because it's because it's Philip Philip yeah you say slam Prada and I actually we made that red one out of a stripper gown that I found at a store for like eight dollars so some of them you've made some of them are all right because I
see these runway shows and and I think who buys that who wears that you do I mean I say that the whole point of what I do the monster mall the music the performance aren't aspect of it I want to create a space for my fans where they can feel free and they can celebrate because I didn't fit it fit in in high school and I felt like a freak so I like to create this atmosphere for my fans where they feel like they have a freak in me to hang out with yeah so it
isn't really for someone to talk about you it is not for that it really is to create a space for people well this is really Who I am and it took a long time to be ok with that because I'll show you all and maybe in high school and I knew you feel discriminated against like you don't fit in and you want to be like everyone else but not really on the inside you really want to be like Boy George you know so I well I did anyway yeah so I really I want my fans
to know that it's ok you know sometimes in life you don't always feel like a winner but that doesn't mean you're not a winner I was a rebel like you wouldn't believe I in in high school I wore outfits that I would be I think be considered I was in Atlanta Texas a very small town in Atlanta in Texas Atlanta Texas and I wore an outfit that was I would be the Lady Gaga of Atlanta Texas I look at this crazy I was wild look at the out there [Applause] well that is shocking it looks
