There's been much speculation on whether or not this is Lady Gaga dressed as a guy. In June, Lady Gaga's stylist Nicola Formechetti released behind the scenes photos of "Jo Calderone" which is suppose to be her alter ego. If you missed those photos, you can see them here.
The cover shot is pretty hot. Style.com did an interview with Jo Calderone. Read on for more
How would you describe what you do/your occupation?
Mechanic for my dad’s business. This is the first time I’ve had my picture taken.
What are your ambitions?
I’d love to own my own car shop; I have a bunch of my own “muscle” cars. Maybe if I take some more pictures I can afford it.
What is your relationship to Lady Gaga?
I met her at a shoot Nick Knight was doing. She’s fuckin’ beautiful, and funny, and interesting. I was a little nervous for Nick to start shooting. She said, “Don’t be, baby, you were ‘born this way. ” I took her out after. The rest is private ; )
It's hilarious how they're keeping this alter ego going. But can you expect anything less from Lady Gaga...I think????
she's a HOT guy! I love everything about the shoot
