I'm disgusted by the meanings behind all her songs. And all the "imagery" within her music videos. And not the obvious imagery.

lol I still don't think it was real but whatevs.

9/13/2010 4:23:29 PM

you know what's funny, I saw her walk out in the dress and didn't even notice what it was made of


I think this means my TV is too small or I just don't pay attention enough


but anyway.. who gives a damn

9/13/2010 5:08:52 PM

she needs to slow down a little bit, if she keeps doing more bizarre and bizarre stuff people are going to be really tired of her in five years

9/13/2010 8:13:42 PM

we're already tired of her.... the new fashion is the drag queens downtown that do impressions of her...

9/13/2010 8:30:21 PM

I was tired of her before I had even heard of her.

9/13/2010 8:35:18 PM

I'm not tired of her in the slightest.

9/13/2010 9:13:55 PM

well i hope you don't stand alone

makes sense because she's basically a faux queen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faux_queen

And this is exactly why I don't watch these stupid awards shows.

9/13/2010 11:10:19 PM

I concede. It WAS meat. lol

Quote :

"Jaws dropped when Lady Gaga took the stage at the 2010 Video Music Awards last night wearing meat from head to toe. And, surprise — her VMA meat dress was made with REAL MEAT! Franc Fernandez, the Los Angeles-based designer/artist behind the dress, confirmed that it was real meat when we caught up with him this morning. But now that we know it’s REAL, we’re left with so many more burning questions for Franc Fernandez! Did it smell? Was it bloody? Was it heavy? Was Lady Gaga comfortable? So, we chatted with designer Franc Fernandez tonight to find out all the juicy details. Find out everything you ever wanted to know about Lady Gaga’s meat dress below! What was your inspiration? Franc Fernandez: “I was contacted by her stylist, Nicola Formichetti, and they had already shot the picture with Terry Richardson in the meat bikini for Vogue Hommes Japan. They told me that they wanted to make a main dress [out of meat], so I did it.” What kind of meat was it? “I don’t know what it’s called in English, but in Argentina, it’s called matambre. I went to my butcher to get it, in Los Angeles in the valley. He’s the butcher that my family goes to. I’m trying to get him a signed picture of it.” How many pounds of meat did you buy? “I bought a lot of meat because I wanted extra. I would say more than 50 pounds of meat. Is that a lot?” How heavy was it? “It was fairly heavy. She said it was the most comfortable dress of the night, though. I’m guessing it weighed around forty pounds. It’s built on a corset, so the weight is distributed on her chest, so it’s not like it’s hanging off her neck.” Was it comfortable? “She said so.” Were there leftovers? “Not very much, no.” Did it leave a blood trail? “No, not at all. It’s actually very clean meat, very sturdy and strong and doesn’t run at all. It’s the meat you use to make a roast, where you roll it in a tortilla and put it in the oven. Hence, the shoes — that’s why they were wrapped in butcher twine.” Did it smell? “Gaga said it smelled good. It had a sweet smell. It hadn’t been sitting out for more than five hours. And it’s not a heavy gross meat.” Did you have to keep it refrigerated? “While it was being made it was refrigerated, [worked on] and then refrigerated. It took a span of two days on and off. Maybe three with sourcing and getting materials and everything.” Will this dress “go bad”? “Well, yes. And it’s a dress that will dry out. The meat dries out, rather than rotting. It becomes jerky. But, it shouldn’t be worn again.” image Was the look designed, or did you drape it naturally? “I just did the meat. You can’t really design something that we’re making out of organic pieces. It’s like ‘This piece can go here,’ and you look at the cuts you have and you drape it.” How do you drape meat? “I’ve done some draping, it just seemed logical to me. The way I was doing it, nothing about it was much of a challenge, except for the time it took. I had helping hands that were great. It was just sewing through meat, which is a little weird, but it’s not rocket science. I just used regular string, some stronger thread, nothing unusual.” What did it feel like on Lady Gaga’s body? “There was a corset but the rest of it was skin on skin. Initially it was cold, but then it warmed up. Not too much, though. She said she wasn’t warm at all, especially under those lights, it didn’t heat up.” Did Gaga have to be sewn into the dress? “She went in through the bottom. Some of it she was sewn into. I was backstage.” Did you treat the meat with any preservatives? “No, not at all.” How did you transport the dress? “I’m in Los Angeles. So, I had a little cooler that I carried it in — its own little coffin.” When Lady Gaga sat down, did the meat rub onto the chair upholstery? “Well, it shouldn’t have because it’s not a sticky meat. It’s not a messy dress at all, surprisingly. But I didn’t see the seat after she sat on it. But I’ve been handling that meat for two days and there is nothing messy about it.” What would the dress feel like? Like for Cher and those who touched it? “It would feel like meat I suppose. It’s all natural.” What happens to the meat dress now? “The dress will be put in an archive with all of her dresses. The Gaga Archives, I suppose. It won’t last, that’s the beauty of it. When it is brought out again, hopefully it will be in a retrospective, and it will be a different dress, which is the best thing. I like the idea of it changing and evolving into something else. My butcher said I could taxidermy it if I wanted it to stay the way it is, and I didn’t want to stay that way. Seems like a waste to keep it that way, than to watch it change.” How did you come up with the idea of butcher strings on her shoes? “I was referencing the whole meat theme. I bought the strings at a butcher supply store.” What were the crystal pieces on her meat purse? “It’s an antique brooch that was applied to the meat.” Gaga said this dress represents that we shouldn’t be treated like a piece of meat. What does this dress represent for you? “I have to agree with her. I just think it looked great.” Where is it now? “I’m not sure. She has people who handle everything, so it’s with them.” Would you create this look again? “I think it’s just that—it’s just the meat dress. There’s not going to be meat dresses in the future. This was made for a specific purpose. It’s what it is.” When you saw her wear this dress, what went through your mind? “She’s wearing my meat dress! It just looked great on her and she made it look easy and things come very naturally to her.”"

The meat hat was over the top.


over the top of her head

9/14/2010 5:22:04 PM

I'll stand with ya, sam! I, too, am not tired of lady gaga.

Same here, i saw the dress and thought that it was a weird color, i never saw the purse when it was handed off, andi thought the meat on her head was some kind of rubber or plastic and i was wondering why it was there

i was actually surprised that she toned her final dress down so much.


and I too, am not tired of gaga i feel like shes getting better, and i like the little snippet she belted out at the end, sounded real good

but she is a weird chick, i could careless about her crusade for faggots but i love her music

""I'm mystified by the laziness of people looking at how she presents herself, and somehow assuming that implies there's a high level of intelligence in the songwriting. Her approach to image is really interesting, but you listen to the music, and you just hear glow sticks. Smart outlets for musical journalism give her all this credit, like she's the new Madonna …" She breaks off and laughs. "Although I'm coming from a perspective of also thinking Madonna is not great at all. I'm like, fair enough: she is the new Madonna, but Madonna's a dumb-ass!" "I may have contradicted myself. My problem isn't actually with Lady Gaga. But there's not much in her music to distinguish it from other glossy, formulaic pop. She just happens to wear slightly weirder outfits than Britney Spears. But they're not that weird - they're mostly just skimpy. She's fully marketing her body/sexuality; she's just doing it while wearing, like, a 'fierce' telephone hair-hat. Her sexuality has no scuzziness, no frank raunchiness, in the way that, say, Peaches, or even Grace Jones, have — she's Arty Spice! And, meanwhile, she seems to take herself so oddly seriously, the way she talks about her music in the third person, like she's Brecht or something. She just makes me miss Cyndi Lauper.""

9/14/2010 6:10:07 PM

I do have to say i am not a fan of her meat shoes. It kind of looks like her feet were blown off by a landmine.

9/14/2010 6:12:08 PM
