女神卡卡 (Lady Gaga) 的生牛肉禮服

 美國笑匠 kevin Nealon 的書《I Exaggerate - My brushes with fame》裡有這一段:

... her meat dress (designed by Omaha Steaks?) that she wore to the MTV Video Awards is indelibly etched in to my mid...

我上網查一下得知那是 2010年的事, Lady Gaga 穿生牛肉串起來的禮服參加頒獎典禮, 會後宣稱 the dress was a statement about ones need to fight for what one believes in... 

當年這件事應該是娛樂界一大新聞, 大概因為我不太注意流行歌曲錄影片的動向所以毫無印象. 那件禮服是否幫她傳達了訊息? 不得而知. 我覺得有趣的是 Nealon 的評語, 本文開頭引用的文字裡他嘲諷 designed by Omaha Steaks? 接下去說 a gown that could feed a small village... I was hopeful that she donated it to a charity, that they fried it up for the needy.

我繼續研究後發現一件也算有趣的事, The New York Times 記者 Brooks Barnes 認為禮服的設計靈感衍生自畫家 Mark Ryden 2009 年的作品《Incarnation》, Lady Gaga 沒有回應, 不過從我附在下面的對照看來 Barnes 所說極有可能, 還有人說 Ryden 對 Lady Gaga 沒有昭告世人他的畫啟發禮服的設計頗為不滿.
