Did Lady Gaga rip off the Psychic Twins?

It's no secret that Lady Gaga frequently looks to others for, um, "inspiration".  She's been known to copy pay homage to many artists, both mainstream and indie... but where is the line drawn between being inspired and simply copying?

From The Psychic Twins official website:

Hey, Lady Gaga! The Psychic Twins called…they want their costumes back!

Is Gaga the Bernie Madoff of pop music? You decide. Lady Gaga has always claimed that she designs her own outfits and costumes, and even has a costume design house called “Haus of Gaga” that constructs them.
So you be the judge…Who designed it first? Who rocked it best?

Lady Gaga really wants to be the third Psychic Twin.
