Did you catch the VMAs (that’s “Video Music Awards” for all of you non-pop-culture worshippers) Sunday night? Well, even if you didn’t, you might have heard some buzz about the always-exciting Lady Gaga. [Full disclosure: The author is a HUGE fan of the Lady. Like, seriously guys.]
Though she looked fab all night, by far the most talked-about outfit she wore was the now ubiquitous MEAT DRESS.
