Like Kings writing the history of their people. It's their prolific nature that both creates and procures what will later be perceived as the "kingdom." So, the real truth about Lady Gaga fans lies in this sentiment: They are the kings. They are the queens. They write the history of the kingdom, while I am something of a devoted Jester.

 

Wondering if this is another Manifesto throwback

Omg stop. Madonna used it once in a poster for a single show and it was based off of the aesthetics and nothing more. How could it be copying if Gaga is using it for a completely different reason? Despite popular belief, Madonna doesn't own everything she touched in the 80s.

There's something about the way he "shares info" that makes me think he just want attention.  :nails:

When was Madonna ever Pierrot?

In any case, Bowie did it before:

For those who don't know, the title of Bowie's album was: Scary Monsters

:hehe:

Oh I hope this rumor is true!!!!!!!! It would be SO cool and SO genius!!!

From Wikipedia:

 

But Pierrot's most prominent place in the late twentieth century, as well as in the early twenty-first, has been in popular, not High Modernist, art. ... He generally assumes one of three avatars: the sweet and innocent child (as in the children's books), the poignantly lovelorn and ineffectual being (as, notably, in the Jerry Cornelius novels of Michael Moorcock), or the somewhat sinister and depraved outsider (as in David Bowie's various experiments, or Rachel Caine's vampire novels, or the S&M lyrics of the English rock group Placebo).

I'm here for Bowie-style Pierrot :legend: 

I hope this is true because I'm super excited about it all!

I was about to come here and post that, I feel like there mighe be some connection. 

Imagine an interlude (or something) similar to the Manifesto of Little Monsters but with a pierrot theme.
