This time tomorrow...

... I'll have my paws up.  Yes, they're slightly crippled and swollen paws, but they have neon pink nail polish on their nails to pretty them up.

Saturday night I and a few thousand others will be celebrating our uniqueness in the presence of the lady who inspired so many to embrace self-acceptance, Lady Gaga.

There's not much to say about her that people don't already know - she can be wacky, weird and wonderful all at once, and her hair and costumes divide the world in two.  

But when all is said and done, she makes great music, has a voice that is unique and incredible all at once, and she does all this while living under the cloud that her SLE might become a big part of her life at any time.  As anyone with an autoimmune disease will attest - the thought of even rolling over in bed can be too much some days... let alone a concert tour of 110 shows, spanning five continents.  I'm exhausted thinking about it. 

On that note... this is one of my favourite Gaga tracks.  Here she is performing for the Queen at the Royal Variety Performance.  I hope I am as mesmerised by her in person tomorrow night as I was by this performance!
