Lady Gaga Gets Hot For Esquire (PHOTOS)

We can’t get enough Lady Gaga, especially when she ditches the strange headgear and tries on something a little racier. The singer is profiled in Esquire‘s annual Women We Love issue, where her early career in New York is discussed in considerable details. One of the interview’s highlights (aside from the awesome photos), is this story by friend and author Brendan Sullivan:

Back in the summer of 2007, there was a night when she popped out of a cake and sang “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” for my then boss, the owner of Beauty Bar Manhattan. It was fitting, somehow — the Marilyn reference. I’ll quote something she said to me one day around that time as directly as I can: “No one in the world knows who I am, but they are going to want to know who I am. My first time ever on TV I want to be on a huge show where I play one song. I’m going to come out onstage in my underwear and show the world that here I am and I don’t give a ffffuck what anyone thinks of me.”

Now if that isn’t quintessential Gaga, I don’t know what is! More photos of the singer after the jump.
