Subject: Kylie Mole - the most popular schoolgirl in 80s Australia

She happens to be my favorite 80s comedy character. Look at her stage clothes and hair in the second part of her music video - they sure look like Lady Gaga's, don't you think?

Some bio:
Mary-Anne Fahey was born in 1956. She has starred in and written for comedy programs including The Comedy Company, Kittson, Fahey (the first Australian female-only sketch comedy program), Get a Life and One Size Fits All. She also had roles in The Dunera Boys, All the Rivers Run II, Celia, Lucky Break and SeaChange. She has also had roles in theatre including Mary Lives. She is most famous for her work on Channel Ten's The Comedy Company especially for her school girl character, Kylie Mole, and three year old "Jophesine", the Play School Sketches with Glenn Robbins and the Bedscene sketches with her then real-life husband Ian McFadyen.
In the 1980s she appeared in an advert for David Reid electronics which was promoting the Commodore Amiga 500.
Fahey's Kylie Mole character – a scowling schoolgirl – was so popular she published the best-selling novel My Diary by Kylie Mole and also released the Double A-Side single with tracks "So Excellent" and "I Go, I Go", which hit #8 on the Australian ARIA chart in November 1988. A music video for "So Excellent" was filmed. The Kylie Mole character was one of several iconic characters that appeared in the show, and her characterisation resonated especially with Australian youth. The Australian adoption of the word "bogan" was first popularised in the media by Kylie Mole, and other phrases she used also gained a wider currency.
As well as performing monologue comedy segments, The Comedy Company also featured Kylie Mole interviewing various celebrities, including Julian Lennon, Sylvester Stallone, the band INXS and Kylie Minogue on the show. Kylie Minogue also appeared in some of the comedy sketches playing Kylie Mole's second-best friend, Rebecca.

Here is her music video. In the second part of it she sports a style reminiscent of Lady Gaga :):
