I LOVE U SO MUCH GAGALOO IM SO PROUD OF U! "Everyone that takes care of my clothes backstage, they bought me, an original pair of one of the sets of shoes that Judy Garland wore in The Wizard Of Oz. And little did they know, that I have a little background with these shoes… Because number one, The Monster Ball was created as a sort of punk rock answer to the Wizard Of Oz, but secondly, because when I was in high school, we did the Wizard Of Oz at school and I auditioned for the show. And the biggest bully, who bullied me when I was a kid, got the roll of Dorothy. She was older than me. And…I’ll never forget it cause I wanted to be Dorothy so bad but I was in 8th grade and she was a senior. I definitely deserved to get it but I didn’t…And then, I remember she was in the dressing room as I was getting ready, she was…Are any of you dancers? You pour coca-cola on your shoes to keep from slipping on the stage, so she was pouring the coca-cola on her shoes and would look on me and she’d go: “Just In Case I’ll Slip In My Ruby Slippers…” That bitch. I just wanted to say, on behalf on myself and all those bullied around the world; NOW THESE FUCKING RUBY SLIPPERS ARE MINE." #bullying #bornthisway #monsterball #love #thewizardofoz #dorothy #ART #gaga #BornThisWayFoundation
