Lady Gaga wins at MTV VMA Awards 2010
Accepts Video of the Year Award in Meat Dress
While Lady Gaga's meat-bikini cover on Vogue Homme Japan has been the subject of public outrage especially from animal rights advocate, fans and detractors of the pop star should quell their objection over Lady Gaga's meat dress in MTV Video Music Awards.
The meat covering Lady Gaga from head-to-toe (plus a "meat purse") is apparently made of fabric.
Credit goes to fashion designer Franc Fernandez for making a "meat dress" as well as a "meat purse" that is anything but meat. Lady Gaga wore it as she collected a Moon Man for winning the much-coveted Video of the Year for Bad Romance.
Lady Gaga posted a record-breaking thirteen nominations, and went home with the second highest number of wins in the history of the video music awards.
"Thank you so much. I was so nervous for tonight that I would let my fans down. I love you so much,"Lady Gaga said in her acceptance speech. "I promised if I'd won this tonight I'd announce the name of my new record. It's called Born This Way."
But Lady Gaga's dress seem to have gotten all the attention, and fans should know that the pop star did not wear just for the sake of outrageousness. The Twitter Queen wants to draw attention to fighting for "our rights."
"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," Lady Gaga told Ellen DeGeneres on her show.
"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."
