Lindsay Crouse Lady Gaga
Lindsay wrote an article on the New York Times titled ‘My Ex Boyfriend Girlfriend is Lady Gaga’. In the article she revealed that Lady Gaga’s boyfriend Michael Polansky is her ex-boyfriend.
“If you’ve ever googled an ex’s new partner (be honest) you’ve probably played a certain game with yourself. You’re either just curious — which is healthy of you — or you want to know how you compare. Ideally the ex’s life didn’t improve too much without you? In this case, though, that’s all upended. How do you compare yourself with Lady Gaga? Instead of thinking, ‘Why not me?’ when I see them together, I think ‘That was me.’ It pulls the illusion of celebrity down.”
She said that a friend told her that “Comparing yourself with her is incredibly motivational, and I recommend you try it, regardless of how you relate to who’s dating her.” She adds that Gaga’s vicious take on life allowed her to buy new clothes, get her makeup done for the first time and sign on for a nerve-racking presentation at work, among other things.
“The point is, Lady Gaga is living the ambitious life that we keep saying women should embrace. A quote I remember reading from her, probably on Instagram, says, ‘Don’t you ever let a soul in the world tell you that you can’t be exactly who you are.’ It’s so easy as you get older to find the best in who you’ve become, to make the most of it — and maybe even to get a little complacent about it. But if Lady Gaga can do what she wants, and even expand on what she wants, why not me, too? Why not let being ‘exactly who I am’ mean trying to be the best I could be? Lady Gaga continues to challenge herself, to try new things, to thrive.”
