During my Ladies’ Day in the city this week, my gal pal and I decided to be adventurous by eating off of a food truck outside of Central Park. Our motto this Ladies’ Day was to indulge our inner fat girl; her choice was an Italian Sausage with onion and peppers wrapped in a pita, I had a classic cheeseburger.

Lady Gaga is on the cover of Britain's Q Magazine for March...with a very obvious bulge in her pants! *insert gay gasp here* We can all take turns "guessing" what's protruding from her middle region or we can just accept that it's a strap on dildo and move on.
