Lady Gaga Wants a Baby Gaga

a blog by Infertile Naomi, March 25, 2012

WANTED: Italian sperm donor who prefers women who dress in outrageous outfits, including raw meat evening gowns, latex t-shirts and a headpiece shaped like a lobster.

Singer Lady Gaga once wore a dress made out of bacon. The pop queen once sported an outfit made from bubbles and later caused a fashion stir with her unique Kermit the Frog dress. But now expect to see some Italian flair added to her unusual wardrobe … maybe in the next nine months or so.

In a recent article, the singer stated that she wants to conceive an Italian baby through in vitro fertilization (IVF). Although her boyfriend — Vampire Diaries star Taylor Kinney — is not Italian, the star would like to conceive the baby using Italian donor sperm. “I want a baby from an Italian — possibly Sicilian — donor,” the singer said in a statement. She went on to say that she hopes to be a mom by the end of the year.

Many of my early childhood memories are of preparing family meals in the kitchen.

I remember the excitement of donning an apron and opening the big spiral-bound cookbook with my mother. Anticipation and an atmosphere of togetherness filled the air as we followed the directions and measured the ingredients.

One of my mother’s favorite expressions was “a watched pot never boils.” I could not, however, fully comprehend the meaning of this mantra until I craved a “bun in my own oven."

Dear In Touch Magazine: We don’t really care, and it would be nice if you left this poor woman alone.
