Default Lady GaGa's penis? (very minorly NSFW)

One of my co-workers did a bit on this yesterday, but check out the pic- the other interesting part is that a quote is floating around, attributed to her blog, wherein in she confirms it as "no big deal."

It certainly doesn't look definitive to me. And I doubt she'd let it "dangle" like that.

I think you're right. But I have a question. I thought Lady GaGa was a drag queen, a really good drag queen. Is she not? I vote that isn't a penis because a really good drag queen wouldn't let it hang out.

See, I also assumed she was a drag queen. I've only seen a few pictures of her, and she always has waaaaay over the top hair, make-up, and clothes, and that, combined with the "Lady" moniker, made me think she was a drag queen.

First I heard the rumor she is a drag queen. Everything I have read doesn't even point remotely to that.

From Wiki

Reading the info on Wiki doesn't lead me to believe that she is a drag queen at all (again, it is Wiki I know).

Since her real name is feminine, I'd be surprised if she were a drag queen. When I saw her performance on American Idol, I was 99% certain it was an April fool's joke (since it occurred on April 1st, and I'd never previously heard of her... and the performance itself), but it never once occurred to me she wasn't female. Granted she's not the most feminine in the face, and there are a lot of drag queen qualities to her stage presence and costuming, I suppose. I'm usually pretty good at picking out males, even ones who are really good at disguising themselves (the exception is older queens, unless they talk sometimes I can't tell), and nothing about her pricked my antenna.

And, in that image, it looks nothing like a penis, just lamé panties.

Is that even her in the picture? Because honestly I can't tell who it is, so it could be someone in drag, or hell a really good blow up doll.



Here are a few pictures I found in Yahoo Photos, via Fluggers flicker stream. This is her in 2007 at lollapalooza.





I think you might be able to tell in either of those two pictures if she has a penis.


E* Lady Gaga looks great as a brunette.*E

When I first saw the picture in the OP, I was thinking that is the top of the stockings making the dark lines. Since it is a distance shot with little detain and nothing else backing up something dangling. I will have to stick with stockings.

E_E, you might be surprised.

I don't think she is, because she has a waist and hips. The lack of a penis bulge is not telling, because you can "tuck", and if it is well done, nothing will show.

She really does look better as a brunette (IMO). Up to this point, I had only seen pictures of her in which she's wearing a wig and heavy makeup. Such as this:

NSFW WARNING! NSFW! NSFW!

The News Of The World (The Sun's Sunday sister paper) have a topless shot here (again, NSFW!) and I doubt they'd do that if she was a drag queen. They'd certainly mention it, so it's pretty safe to assume that she is female.

In the first picture I posted, she is bending over. If she tucked, wouldn't there be at least an outline of something showing? To me an outline is going to show regardless of how well it is tucked away, unless they are retracting the penis back into their bodies... Which might be a bit hard to do.

Not much of an outline, no. I have helped do this before, and if done right, it really is extremely hard to see.

Details in white in case anyone is squeamish: The testicles are tucked inside the body cavity, the penis is stretched and taped back between the cheeks, and then a tight, somewhat thick thong-type thing called a gaff is put on to hold everything in place. If the penis is stretched and taped smoothly it looks no different than a female crotch.

Rolling Stone did an article on her a few months ago & had pictures of her as a kid & she was definitely not a boy in those pics. Her real name is Joanne Stefani Germanotta the RS article was actually kind of interesting.

Although this doesn't mean she still couldn't be a drag queen though I kinda doubt it.

I think she's just one of those manly-looking girls, like Brooke Hogan.

I don't think anyone is speculating that she's a boy, rather a hermaphrodite. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.

So we're all agreed, whatever it is isn't a penis.

For clarification, I didn't hear a rumor that she was a drag queen. I'd seen a performance as just assumed. Sorry about that. And now I know.

I did not know that... But I have to say Ouch, it seems like it would hurt a bit, or at least be uncomfortable.

** I used light blue just in case someone didn't want to read that, and well the color makes that part difficult to read when quoting**

She could also be a pre-op transexual, which could explain the feminine name.

If we are to believe Wiki, it also says she went to Covent on the Sacred Heart which is an all girls school, making it very unlikely she was ever physically male.

From what I understand, it is uncomfortable the first few times, and if anything < ahem > comes up, it can be pretty painful. I feel for anyone who has to do it.

(Glad that all I have to do is wrap a bandage around my chest and stick on a hat.)

I heard about this randomly a few minutes ago and yea, I don't think she's a drag Queen, I always imagined that she just enjoyed a memorably over the top stage persona. Now whether she's intersexed or not I don't know. I haven't heard anything to make me believe that.

The lead singer of Deee-lite went by the moniker of Lady Miss Keir. She was definitely a woman.
