Want attention?
Add meat to your wardrobe

EDITORIAL, Sept. 23, 2010

    So, by now everyone has seen, or at least heard of, the raw meat dress that Lady GaGa showed up in to attend the MTV-hosted Video Music Awards.
    The dress included matching shoes, hat and purse. Apparently, there was some underlying meaning behind this odd dress choice. However, the only thing I got out of the outfit was nausea. 
    I mean, come on. Who in their right mind would wear meat on their body as clothing? 
    I would hate to be the person who drew the unlucky card and had to sit by her. If I were that unlucky person, I would have gone straight to the doctor after the performance.
    Did E coli ever cross her mind? Could Lady GaGa or anyone who was near enough to touch the raw meat and had a cut become infected?
    That’s not to mention how bad that outfit had to be smelling. She was in a place packed full of people, under bright, hot lights. That meat had to be cooking. 
    I don’t know about you, but rotting meat is not a perfume I would want to wear.
    It’s just not sanitary. I mean, wouldn’t you think the meat had to feel gross, like slimy and slippery. I’m kind of surprised it didn’t slide off her body. I know one Web site showed a photographers shot of GaGa’s backside where the meat dress was splitting. 
    Did the dress leave goo or blood on her seat? Raw meat is usually bloody. I would hate to be the person who had to clean that area.
    I am all for being an individual and wearing whatever you want, regardless of what others think, but I think meat is going a little too far.
