Lady Gaga's meat dress lives on

all rights resevred to original owners
Not literally because it's a bunch of animal carcass's so it can;t actually live on in a breathing sense, more in a spritual fame sorta way. If fame can be spiritual.

When and where?
Lady Gaga known for her outlandish fashion statements over the years first wore the dress to the MTV video awards last year.
Why?
Apparently it was supposed to be making a powerful political statement about how the US army should not discriminate against Homosexuals by not letting them join the army. I don't know about you but i wasn't getting that vibe. She said the US is preventing its military from enjoying "the greatest cut of meat my country has to offer"."
What?
A dress made entirley from meat. It was made out of prime rib and steak.

What has happened to this dress since that night?The dress is going to be showcased until february in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, America. The dress was kept in a meat locker, covered with chemicals, dried by taxidermists and painted to appear fresh. Thats a lot of trouble over a dress, i was personally thinking more wack the oven on, whip up some fries and enjoy a load of steak , but every man, woman and popstar to themselves.

Kate Middleton's wedding dress

all rights reserved http://www.glamour.com/

She looked so gorgous in her wedding dress, which was designed by Sarah Burton from Alexander Mcqueen. Alexander Mcqueen is amazing unforntunatley he did kill himself-R.I.P- so he can't design any more clothes but his brand lives on and as you can see still has a large influence on fashion today.

Kate's dress, which is sure to spark of so many trends around the world, was elegent, sophisticated, flowing, graceful, gorgous and femminine. It wasn't revealing or tacky it had jsut enough of everything so that it looked royal. She genuinly looked like a super pretty princess. And as my friend Nick would say " shes a DILF"

Details
Designer: Sarah burton from alexander mcqueen.

Why she choose alexander mcqueen: It is traditional british couture and according to the official websiote which i haven't been on but i saw it through another site it is "traditional workmanship"

The lace: It was "hand-made by the Royal School of Needlework, based at Hampton Court Palace and the design was hand-engineered using technology invented in ireland in the 1820's.

The style
The style of the dress was very femminine but sophisticated. The nipped in waist line showed off her tiny tiny waist making it look even nicer. The train and skirt trailed behind her to give a gorgous silhouette. The lace was intricite and floral but not over the top. Overall it had just enough of everything to make it a timeless classic and an influentcial gown for years to come.

How can you get the look?
Ok, ive put together a short movie maker presentation with different fashion items for everyday, swimwear , work and night. Just to give you an idea. Took me ages, thats how much i lve you-anyone who reads this blog. If it doesn't play, dont tell me or i think i wil kill myself.
