A Dress of Meat is Really Neat!
Wednesday, September 15th, 2010
While I was innocently attending a Braves game on Sunday, Lady Gaga was making her way on stage at the VMA’s for the umpteenth time wearing what looked like flank steak.
As a former clothing designer, when I saw the video I thought it was simply a clever fabrication, although it really did look like she had a raw steak on her head. And she did!
Turns out the whole damn thing was made of meat! Designed by Franc Fernandez, the dress was assembled out of thinly sliced cuts of meat. Beef? Lamb? I don’t know. All I know is I’m impressed!
However, animal rights activists were not impressed. Why not? She didn’t eat her dress or try to feed it to her fans (who would certainly gobble it up….bodice tartar anyone?)
Ellen DeGeneres, who is reportedly a vegan, gave her a lettuce bikini the next day on her show. Awesome.
Lady Gaga’s shenanigans always offend and delight. She’s making me hungry.
