Lady Gaga Meat Dress To Become Jerky

Yes, that was real meat after all. Franc Fernandez, the Argentinian designed of the dress made from flank steak told E! Online what would become of the already-legendary Gaga costume:

"The dress will go through a process where it becomes a sort of 'jerky' and will be archived. Thank you."

Fernandez had earlier revealed every bloody detail about the meat dress to MTV Style, explaining that he purchased 50 pounds of steak from his butcher in the San Fernando valley for the project, with "not very much" in the way of leftovers in the end.

Adding nothing to the beef in the way of preservatives, Fernandez put the dress together in a refrigerated environment, and brought it to the VMAs in a "a little cooler that I carried it in -- its own little coffin."

As far what it felt like? "It would feel like meat I suppose. It's all natural," Fernandez explained.

Please, I beg you, if you see someone dressed in a meat dress this Halloween, snap a pic and send it to http://CostumeFail.com

I thought the jerky was under the meat.

What a waste of meat. And the dress was pretty wasteful too.

Finally I can get indigestion and an std at the same time.

I find myself liking Gaga just a little bit more.  Anyone who thumbs their nose at all those Grasseaters out there can't be all bad.

Yeah she really put that cow in its place.

I guess it's pre-salted.

I love the cut of her dress: was it tenderloin?

actually it was 100% flank. i think there is a joke in there somewhere -- but its an honest joke.

I think I would rather eat raw Chicken or Pork than eat something she has worn.

What does that mean -- they're giving it to Joan Rivers?

That had to have felt disgusting. EWE!

Hope she went and soaked in a heavily-chlorinated hot tub after taking it off. Raw meat in contact with skin for a while?

It must have been so slimy.

Wow, the dress was made from actual meat. For some reason, I thought it was made of something that just looked like meat. Now I want to eat the dress. I have a feeling that I stand alone, here, in this respect.

"Hey, Gaga, why don't you come over and we can cook up that dress of yours?"

I'm uncertain as to what grosses me out more - wearing a dress made of meat, or thinking about how that raw meat was sitting in a chair for several hours. I hope the management of the theatre had that seat CLEANED.

It would start to smell putrid, wouldn't it?

So someone's actually going to eat the meat that was in Lady Gaga's hair that she farted and sweated in all night.

The artist Jana Sterbak did this in an installation at the national gallery of Canada in the 80's. Once again, life imitates art. "Meat dress for an albino anorectic" is the title of the work.

How do you like that? I pegged it right on the nose!  I've been saying all along that it was 50 pounds of flank steak.Pretty good eye on this old farmboy.  I'm not sure what being worn on the human body for a few hours will do for the meat, but thankfully they are making it into jerky where it will be well seasoned. I hope they cook it in the smker long enough and hot enough to kill any stray bacteria.

That may kill the bacteria in the meat, but may not be strong enough to kill GaGa's infestations.
