It all started around the spring of 2018 when Melissa's friend and roommate, Jess, said " you should really follow my friend Alexa on Instagram. She loves Lady Gaga as much as you do and her mom even makes her replicas of Gaga's costumes". Melissa has been OBSESSED with Lady Gaga since 2008 and naturally had to take Jess's advice and check out Alexa's Instagram. What started as occasionally messaging about Gaga-related things quickly turned into friendship. Gaga had recently announced her residency in Las Vegas and Melissa and Alexa decided to book a trip to see her in concert before they really even knew each other. As Melissa and Alexa got to know each other, they discovered they have much more in common including a love for traveling, animals, and horror movies/ Halloween. Their friendship quickly blossomed into love and they have been inseparable since!
