“The assumption is that my eccentricity is not who I really am. But it is,” said Gaga, who loves to put on weird stage shows and dress is questionable outfits.

She also revealed that she and a confidante called ‘Lady Starlight’ would prance about in their knickers to make others jealous, according to Metro.

Looking back on her days as a burlesque dancer, she said: “Lady Starlight and I would spin vinyl in my apartment, sewing our bikinis for the show and listening to David Bowie and the New York Dolls.”
