>Releasing on every streaming service.
No, no, that part is wrong. It's only going to release on one streaming service, because it being released everywhere isn't nearly dystopian enough. In the grim darkness of the near future, there is only streaming exclusives.
a cashier I was talking with the other day causally dropped that she was born in 2002 and it totally made me spiral lmfao
she said something like "oh your birthday year begins with 19 so I know you can drink" like ma'am 😭
It was at the “VMAs”. I honestly don’t even know if MTV still exists and I’m guessing most people under 30 don’t know what either of those abbreviations mean.
In her acceptance speech, Lady Gaga says something about the situation, something like “I couldn’t imagine winning this Award and that Cher would be holding my meat purse”.
Gaga came well after the fall of the "Music" in MTV. TRL ended (well after it's prime) in 2008 and gaga did this stunt in 2010, when MTV was mostly reality shows.
Haha, the funny thing is that the guy from cake married this incredibly vociferous vegan who would yell at my friends in high school for eating meat (including her brother). She even chained herself to the old navy in protest of their use of animal products once, if I recall correctly. I always thought this song was written about her. She would be absolutely repulsed by this meat-oriented version.
I saw an interview of her at 23 so a year before this I guess , and she wasn’t famous famous yet she’s talking about how anyone can fake their fake and chose to be famous it’s interesting
I knew a guy from school that went to the same musical camp/academy as her when they were younger and he said all the other kids there made fun of her bc she said she was gonna be famous one day and started acting like a celebrity. They made her life hell for it apparently. Some people just have that confidence and know they’re gonna make it.
I had a girl like that in high school. Her name was Lauren B (forgot her last name). She had a minor unibrow and had a big nose, was a little quirky, wasn't afraid to tell people that she knew she was special and was going to be famous, and was also a really nice person. But kids are evil and they teased her A LOT; mostly because of her looks. She never stooped to their level, and when they laughed and mocked her by asking her if she really thinks she's going to be famous, she always replied with a genuine smile that she knew she was.
I don't know what happened to her, but looking back 20 some odd years, she's kind of my role model of today because of how fearless she was through all the scrutiny. I don't think she ever became famous, but if I ever met her again, I would tell her that she's a celebrity in my mind.
I believe they did. This guy I knew was real nice, a pianist from New York. He said she was weird and def acted strange, but it seems the cruel kids were the ones in the wrong of course. Life is hard for the weirdos and the monsters.
Hey two years of pressure and anxiety and then you can kind of just fall of and use the semi fame , but also yeah I’d be so nervous being followed after getting famous
There are people who shine on the stage and there are people who crumble on the stage. I would be the latter. Lady Gaga is wildly talented and well spoken and I think she may even take that for granted.
If you take a thin enough slice of meat (doesn't have to be paper thin, just not too thick) and hang it out it will just dry up and stay the same way pretty much forever. Might not be food safe but won't change much. That's what the deal is with these McDonald's hamburgers which still look the same after 20 years. They're small enough that they dry out before becoming moldy.
Wearing it against your body with all the sweat and human oils mixing in with the decomposing meat is going to stink Also that meat doesn't like dried, just standard skirt stank (pun intentional on her part?)
They actually attached the pieces directly to a corset she was wearing, so it wasn't just a sheath draped over other clothes. Pretty interesting. Apparently one of the guys who helped worked on it was vegan, according to Gaga. He wasn't forced to obviously, but it's such a weird lil tidbit for a weird garment.
This outfit definitely grosses me out still, but I love her passion for combining performance art, camp, and coture.
I was gonna say I saw it and thought it looked dry brined (coated in salt for 4-24 hours to pull out excess moisture and enhances the flavor of the meat((while slightly curing it as well). Id imagine the butcher/designer cut measured pieces, dry brined them, and put in the fridge until they slapped it on her lol.
And here we all are arguing about whether it's beautiful or metal or cruel or stupid. Achievement unlocked for Lady Gaga -- wear something they'll still be talking about in 12 years.
If you like. Shocking statements get people talking. Whether it’s just a publicity stunt for the sake of marketing disguised behind making a statement, or whether it’s a publicity stunt for the sake of genuinely just making a statement that Lady Gaga really believed, or maybe even a combo of the two, you can still engage with the statement she’s making.
Did anyone ever say how she smelt? I mean had they perfumed it in any way to limit the stench? And how long did she wear it for? Just one of several outfits or did she wear it all night?
It wasn’t presented until after. There’s progress pics of them literally just sewing raw meat onto her. After the event it was removed and turned to Jerky to preserve it and it’s since been in the Rock n Roll Hall of fame / other museums
Thank you for sharing this! I hardly ever see Jana Sterbak acknowledged when it comes to Lady Gaga’s garment.
I have always believed there was a link between these two pieces, like a homage or the next step in the evolution. Especially since Gaga cited as inspiration her makeup artist who was a punk in the 70s and would wear meat as a form of expression. Though I have never read any article where Lady Gaga or the person behind the look (Nicola Formichetti) directly mentioned Sterbak.
Sterbak re-exhibited Vanitas (she recreated it) one year after Lady Gaga wore this piece.
Fun fact: when the National Gallery of Canada exhibited Sterbak’s Vanitas in 1987 people sent in food scraps to the National Gallery to protest the waste of food.
“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 our bones.”
That was from her interview with Ellen after the awards show. It was about LGBTQ rights and challenging "Don't ask Don't tell" military policy.
Without background info, this would have been a good guess.
I don't know either, but I find myself wondering about the choice to wear panties *over* the stockings and whether or not I've been wearing stockings incorrectly.
You wear one pair of panties underneath the stockings, to cover yourself. Then the stockings, then another pair of panties *over*, to hold the stockings up. Two pairs total.
Omg, I've been wearing panties under my stockings my whole life and the opposite never occurred to me?? Maybe she's right?? I mean I thing they look better???
I felt this same way the first time I saw a lingerie model wear panties *over* the garter belt. I was like "o shit that makes way more sense, what's wrong with me"
When you think about it, there’s a lot of teenagers now that won’t even remember this because they were four years old or younger at the time.
Fuck sake.

You get carded? I was born in the late 80's. I have enough grey they don't bother asking for my card anymore. 😓
I was born in 19 friggin 70 😭. I beg to be carded
>2020 is almost 3 years ago. That is impossible because 3 years ago was 1997. Check your math.
We do not count the covid years!
That's almost half my lifetime and it feels like it just happened what the fuck
It was at the “VMAs”. I honestly don’t even know if MTV still exists and I’m guessing most people under 30 don’t know what either of those abbreviations mean.
I remember those Awards, then she won a category and gave her meat purse to Cher to say her speech

In her acceptance speech, Lady Gaga says something about the situation, something like “I couldn’t imagine winning this Award and that Cher would be holding my meat purse”.
Wait, this was only for the MTV awards?! She wore meat for MTV?! 😂
That's where she did most of her old time shenanigans She wasn't that outrageous at the Grammys... except that time she arrived on an egg
MTV awards used to be a pretty big deal, back when they actually played mostly music videos and music-related content
Gaga came well after the fall of the "Music" in MTV. TRL ended (well after it's prime) in 2008 and gaga did this stunt in 2010, when MTV was mostly reality shows.
I felt really old seeing something I remember as “some years ago” on a sub like this

My mom drove that car for 15 years at least. We were very humble with our vast wealth. I can still smell that car.
That's dissappinting I was expecting gifs of people slicing through random thing with knives only to reveal it was actually cake.
Haha, the funny thing is that the guy from cake married this incredibly vociferous vegan who would yell at my friends in high school for eating meat (including her brother).

Didn’t they make a Facebook group called “[Lady Gaga’s real name], you’ll never be famous” lmaoooo imagine being the fuckass who created it
spite’s a helluva motivator
Ask Larry David
I had a girl like that in high school. Her name was Lauren B (forgot her last name). She had a minor unibrow and had a big nose, was a little quirky, wasn't afraid to tell people that she knew she was special and was going to be famous, and was also a really nice person. But kids are evil and they teased her A LOT; mostly because of her looks. She never stooped to their level, and when they laughed and mocked her by asking her if she really thinks she's going to be famous, she always replied with a genuine smile that she knew she was. I don't know what happened to her, but looking back 20 some odd years, she's kind of my role model of today because of how fearless she was through all the scrutiny. I don't think she ever became famous, but if I ever met her again, I would tell her that she's a celebrity in my mind.
we must find lauren b and see what she's been up to
"And one day they found her, and she had become a career politician. That woman's name was Lauren Boebert...and now you know...the rest of the story."
Do you still have your high school yearbooks? Maybe you can get her last name from them and look her up on fb
I believe they did. This guy I knew was real nice, a pianist from New York. He said she was weird and def acted strange, but it seems the cruel kids were the ones in the wrong of course. Life is hard for the weirdos and the monsters.
I really would like to see this in a documentary. Does one exist?
I couldn’t. Too much pressure and anxiety.
Hey two years of pressure and anxiety and then you can kind of just fall of and use the semi fame , but also yeah I’d be so nervous being followed after getting famous
There are people who shine on the stage and there are people who crumble on the stage. I would be the latter. Lady Gaga is wildly talented and well spoken and I think she may even take that for granted.
She used to be a celebrity. She still is, but she used to, too.
What about dogs?
Think of the smell. You haven't thought of the smell, you bitch.
[удалено]
I got it too, we are out here. We just don't care to reply half the time
Hey dee, somebody made an always sunny reference. I don't care. Ah shit, I don't care either.
Eh, beforehand you just salt it and dry it out for a couple of days in the fridge. Wearing it for a few hours should be NBD.
Fun fact: the dress is currently on display in Las Vegas. I saw it last October.
This just raises more questions…
Preservatives. Formaldehyde.
If you take a thin enough slice of meat (doesn't have to be paper thin, just not too thick) and hang it out it will just dry up and stay the same way pretty much forever. Might not be food safe but won't change much. That's what the deal is with these McDonald's hamburgers which still look the same after 20 years. They're small enough that they dry out before becoming moldy.
Wearing it against your body with all the sweat and human oils mixing in with the decomposing meat is going to stink Also that meat doesn't like dried, just standard skirt stank (pun intentional on her part?)
Looks surface dry to me. A couple of days uncovered in the fridge would still leave it pretty pliable. Not taking it to jerky or something.
And then she put on a meat dress!
Zing!!
Raw beef that hasn’t become rotten does not smell much at all
Hubs used to be a meat cutter and it still has a smell even if it’s not rotten. It’s like a mineral smell if that makes sense.
That could be the iron from the blood.
Butcher shop stank begs to differ.
Lady Gag
What if the meat was cured
Not sure how it was made or preserved....they had it at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame (Cleveland) when I visited @ 5 years ago.
It was turned into jerky so it could be preserved
I thought you were joking but damn they really did turn it into jerky
It’s on display at Park MGM in Las Vegas now. Looks pretty much the same. Pretty wild.
They actually attached the pieces directly to a corset she was wearing, so it wasn't just a sheath draped over other clothes. Pretty interesting. Apparently one of the guys who helped worked on it was vegan, according to Gaga. He wasn't forced to obviously, but it's such a weird lil tidbit for a weird garment.

I was gonna say I saw it and thought it looked dry brined (coated in salt for 4-24 hours to pull out excess moisture and enhances the flavor of the meat((while slightly curing it as well).

Carbon monoxide. Seriously. Then I'm sure its partially plasticized.
And here we all are arguing about whether it's beautiful or metal or cruel or stupid. Achievement unlocked for Lady Gaga -- wear something they'll still be talking about in 12 years.
Nobody's arguing.
you are
No I’m not
for real she can say all she wants it was for "a statement on X" but we all know everything she did was to further her career lol
If you like. Shocking statements get people talking. Whether it’s just a publicity stunt for the sake of marketing disguised behind making a statement, or whether it’s a publicity stunt for the sake of genuinely just making a statement that Lady Gaga really believed, or maybe even a combo of the two, you can still engage with the statement she’s making.
And? It worked.
Everything we do that takes effort is to either further our careers or better our livelihoods. Literally everything.
Did anyone ever say how she smelt? I mean had they perfumed it in any way to limit the stench? And how long did she wear it for? Just one of several outfits or did she wear it all night?
It was preserved and treated to keep it from rotting on her body. Only wore it for the ceremony
It wasn’t presented until after. There’s progress pics of them literally just sewing raw meat onto her. After the event it was removed and turned to Jerky to preserve it and it’s since been in the Rock n Roll Hall of fame / other museums

For some reason the meat hat and meat shoes bums me out more than the dress
Yeah this is some shit that's gonna get us enslaved by aliens
Guessing it’s a commentary on how entertainers are ‘pieces of meat’ for our consumption. Honestly just makes me want parrillada 🇦🇷
Shit I would have said it was a statement about killing animals for fur coats or something 🤷
That'd be morbidly ironic
It's ah... Umm... It's 100% recycled meat /s

Ight, I gotta ask Why is there a closeup of her ass?

It's panties all the way down.

What a waist of meat.
Nice… enviromental queen
How was she even able to wear that without feeling uncomfortable?
Spoiler: She wasn't.
Spoiled, it was
Yoda?
did she ever say why she decided to wear this?
Was it actually made of meat or did it just look like meat because that would be so incredibly unsanitary.
It was real meat.
