Little Monster meets Lady GaGa backstage in Pittsburgh

Posted on March 1, 2011 by Laura

At just 6 years old, Mazzy Tomich is Lady Gaga’s “littlest monster.” The young fan and the pop artist met Saturday in Pittsburgh, when Mazzy’s dad, Kevin, won a contest to meet Gaga backstage at her Monster Ball concert. Kevin Tomich entered the contest as concert sponsors photographed Mazzy in a custom replica dress — black with silver sequins — she wore for the occasion. She first wore the dress last Halloween.

During the concert, Tomich received the call he had won, and received a microphoned cell phone, on which he spoke to Lady Gaga and pointed to his daughter, held up by her mother, Erin Tomich. “She just flipped out when she saw the ‘little monster,’ Mazzy,” he said, using the term Gaga uses to refer to her fans. “You don’t get many 6-year-olds.”

After the concert — Mazzy’s fourth seeing Lady Gaga — the Tomiches spent about 10 minutes backstage, talking to the star and meeting her mother and grandparents. Before the family could leave that night, many other fans snapped Mazzy’s photo. “A lot of people wanted to get their picture taken with her, too,” said Erin Tomich. Mazzy, who also likes Britney Spears, Katy Perry and Miranda Cosgrove, became a Lady Gaga fan after hearing the hit “Poker Face” played at the DelGrosso Amusement Park in Tipton in 2009. Her dad said she was hooked.

“She would just walk around the house singing, ‘P-p-p-poker face,’ ” he said. Mazzy said meeting Lady Gaga was “good” and took photos to show-and-tell in her Radio Park Elementary kindergarten class. Gaga signed the family’s tickets and T-shirts.

As of Sunday, the photo of Mazzy in costume appeared on the concert website, and she appears in a video on the singer’s road blog at http://littleroadmonster.tumblr.com. Underneath the video, interviewer Dannielle Owens-Reid wrote: “This little girl was so cute I could NOT ACTUALLY STAND IT. Her name is Mazzy and I love her.”
