Today is the one year anniversary since the Born This Way Foundation Launch and the day that would have also been my born this way ball. Gaga just this past summer saw a video, (some of you monsters were in it) I made for her and invited me backstage to meet her at the Boston ball. As all of you know Gaga had to cancel the rest of the tour due to her hip injury. I just wanted to take a moment and let Gaga and the Haus know that I as well as many other little monsters will be praying for Gaga to have a very speedy recovery. Gaga you are my best friend and I am so happy to have you in my life. There are not enough words to tell you how grateful I am for everything you have done for me over the past four years that I have known you. I had so much planned for tonight’s ball, I had handmade several t-shirts and an outfit like many other monsters had done. But the one thing I especially wanted to give you was a book of letters I have been making for a little over a year. The book contains over 800 letters and drawings from monsters from all over the world. The pictures show the books contents all spread out on my dining room table. =) I will continue to accept letters to the book until the day I meet you xo. Thanks for being so incredibly amazing Gaga! I will always be there for you like you have always been there for me. Monsters are in this together. Love you always- Maria Mongiardo PS: Please don’t be so hard on yourself about everything that has happened. We all still love you and we are not going anywhere xo To send in a letter/artwork for the book please submit to dear-mama-monster.tumblr.com
