Take a bite of my Bad Girl MEAT!



The world famous Meat Dress that Lady Gaga wore at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards was an outfit that cause much of a ruckus in the main stream media. Majority of the people who don't understand her, or high fashion couture, judged instantly and thought she was crazy for wearing real meat.  People didn't find it to be "beautiful," but I think that "beautiful" can be subjective. At an event where many celebrities where designer gowns, expensive dresses and jewelry,  Lady Gaga was looked down on for simply wearing meat.

Many thought that her wearing of meat was to piss off the people from PETA, but in reality it had a much deeper meaning than anyone could ever imagine and she explained it in her interview with Ellen DeGeneres.
 "Well, it is certainly no disrespect to anyone that is vegan or vegetarian. As you know, I am the most judgement-free human being on the earth. However, it has many interpretations. For me this evening, if we don’t stand up for what we believe in and if we don’t fight for our rights pretty soon, we’re going to have as much rights as the meat on own bones. And, I am not a piece of meat."

Something that people judged to be weird, out of the ordinary, crazy, disgusting and ugly, had such beautiful meaning behind it.  What mainstream America thinks is beautiful is pretty ridiculous. In London, Paris, Milan and other high fashion capitals of the world, the couture industry is seen as beautiful and it is more appreciated by their media than it is here. That goes to show that wearing something that majority of ignorant and judgmental people find ugly, can really have a beautiful meaning behind it.
