From our hotel room high in St. Louis, we could see fans by the thousands cruising into the downtown Scottrade Center arena for the Lady Gaga Monster Ball Tour last Saturday night.

The joint holds about 20,000. They tell me every seat was occupied for a high-dollar performance from what is currently the world's hottest female entertainer. From the outside looking in, I can report that I've never seen so many women in short black dresses, painted faces and high heels.

I've never seen so many men in short black dresses, painted faces and high heels either.

The whole block screamed fishnet.
