As for her persona, there is a self-confidence message behind it. She has discussed in many times in the interviews where she gets deep.
When she was a teenager, she was an outcast. She grew up on the upper east side in a well to do family and was always the awkward artsy kid that just didn't fit in. She was a loner in a world she didn't feel like she belonged in.
Her message to her fans is come as you are. All of the social outcasts love her because she is who she wants to be and doesn't care what people think about it. That's why she calls her fans her "little monsters" ... because they're pretty, ugly, skinny, fat, "normal," "crazy" and everything in between.
When she was just Stefani, before the Lady Gaga, she found comfort and acceptance in the New York underground art scene.
What many do not realize is that she is behind her image 100%. She designs all of her own outfits, she does most set designs, etc.
She is 100% in control of her image.
The rumor going around now -- and I believe it -- is that she's burning out. She knows that to stay relevant she has to stay public, so she's trying to do too many shows, too many interviews, too many appearances and she's busy designing her shows from start to finish...feeling the need to make each one different...different props, different costumes, different set lists, etc.
There is probably nobody in show business that works as hard as she does.
