Lady Gaga Doodles All Over Her $8,000 Birkin Bag

Lady Gaga arrived in Tokyo for the Japanese leg of her Fame Monster world tour wearing an angular black capri-pantsuit that resembled nothing so much as trapezoidial parachute pants paired with platform booties that, by my estimates, run north of seven inches.

The best part of her ensemble, though, was the pristine white Hermes Birkin bag, on which Gaga had scrawled a message to her Japanese fans — in permanent marker. According to the Daily Mail, the message was written in the Japanese alphabet Katakana and read, “I love little monster, Tokyo love.”

Presumably this is some sort of commentary on the impermanence of luxury goods. Or maybe she just loves the sheer absurdity of being able to procure a Birkin bag in the first place — they start at $5000 and have an almost constant waiting list. It is very Gaga to then have the gall to scribble all over it with a sharpie marker.

Anyway, she also wrote a similar message on her arm — it said, “I love little monster.” (Again, this is via the Daily Mail’s translator, so if someone reads fluent Japanese and wants to correct us, feel free!)

P.S. Aren’t the gloves so very Karl?

[Editor's Note: As a direct result of having fallen asleep last night on Vanity Fair's Grace Kelly article, I mistakenly called Gaga's Birkin a Kelly at initial posting. I've fixed it and also drank a cup of coffee.]

    It actually says “I love small monster – Tokyo love” but close enough haha. I can’t believe that she Sharpied this bag… If I could afford one, I’d probably keep it locked away so that it didn’t get dirty. Which would of course defeat the purpose of having it to begin with!

  • Izzyawesome

    such gaganess :)

    In these very “mean” economic times, I would say this only mildly talented entertainer is not only arrogant, she is a disgusting display of our selfish, greedy, unfeeling, unthinking, dispassionate, wasteful culture.
    Has this Gaga taken the time to even drive by a food pantry where there are lines of people just
    waiting for whatever food they can get. A young couple, poorly dressed for cold weather, were so happy to receive a bag of Navel oranges, you would have thought someone was giving them a white Birkin bag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Tacholla

    hey holla, doesn’t gaga promote enough world charities and do her part to inspire change and love? she is making a statement and getting the message across. Who would look at her if she looked like everyone else?

  • Neo Denise

    She will probably sell it on E-bay for 15 Thousand and then give the money to charity.  That would definitely shut everyone up.  I love it!

  • Sandee6710

    Hey she probably donates to charities… Then the charitites can pay their people to do things like sit in an office and ask other people for help and items to hand out to poor people that need it while they sit in their offices makeing 6 figure incomes.

    I like Lady Gaga and think she is doing fine.  Keep up the Gaga going Lady G.

    Lady Gaga is a joke,so this really isn’t a surprise!

  • Castillo Robert2011

    Lady gaga is an amazing artist who is the epitome of fame and self expressionism, as for the bag it is pure luxery and she bought it with her own hard earned money and has the right to what ever she wants with it. Those who like speak badly of her should find something else to do with their lives.

    to all of you all that just don’t get it lady gaga is making the us and other economies sprout… as opposed to trying to get a second wind of a WOODSTOCK ERA …occupyinining wallstreet… if you are from the usa, or perhaps n.y. thjen u are possibly a monkey or have one on your back…thanks for this persons comment!!!

  • http://www.facebook.com/JUSTCOASTINGJEFF Jeffrey Griner

    LET ME MAKE THIS PERFECTLY CLEAR…LADY IS GAGA AND GAGA IS LADY!! THEREFORE ALL YOU NET/ SEYERS PISS OFF WITH YOUR IPAD AND GO TO BOSTON TONIGHT AND GET ARRESTED FOR WHAT/ QUE PASA?  JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT PART OF THE “IN CROWD”  SHE IS VERY DESERVING IF INDEED SHE MAY NOT BE A CAPITALIST OR LEFT TO THE RIGHT ### SO GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE AND MAYBE YOU WILL SEE HER IN CONCERT AND NOT DIS HER!!

  • Mike Green

    She works hard for her money !!!! Therefore she can buy whatever the hell she wants and do to it whatever the hell she wants… Just because you probably wouldn’t make enough in your lifetime to get a Birkin bag don’t be mad !! I find that to be arrogant greedy selfish and stupid….. Lady Gaga donates more than enough money to charity and i believe she gives 50% That’s half of her earnings to her Mother and Father……. I DONT SEE ANY GREED IN THAT !!!!!!!

    Should the bag have flaps on the side – I would expect an $8,000 bag to hold its shape better!

  • Sarizzlelynn

    When was the last time you took the time out of your day to go donate to a charity? Yeah your probably going to make something up and say oh i was just donated the other day or i go to the food drive all the time…well no one really gives a s***. Whether she donates or not she’s making money and can do whatever she wants with it sorry if your not making as much as she is and needs to talk bad about her to make yourself feel better get over yourself. If you care so much about it maybe you should go spend your time at the homeless shelter helping out rather than talking about how others should.

  • jld

    How is your comment even relevant to ANYTHING anyone else has said? In other words, what’s your point? If you are going to take the time to post a comment, dear Krystal, please try to put some intelligent thought into it and comment on something more interesting than the shape of the stupid bag!

  • Fcolemanct

    Actually, her comment was the most intelligent & relevant of them all.

  • Dude, who stole my pot!?

    what are you smoking?!

  • hoping

    Wrong, if you have it, flaunt it…I wont feel bad if I have some extra money around anymore…if I went there, to my fans in Japan, I would be exactly the same..she has it, she earned it,, and has done a lot for people also…enjoy her happiness….and yours?  peace

  • loving

    Shes not, actually…be nice and happy..its the holidays..shes entertainment like the rest, that we DESPERATELY Need…peace and love
