I didn't watch the VMAs but I saw her on the Ellen Show...Monday's premiere.
First of all, I just hated the dress. It was ugly. But then, when she gave the explanation for it

She said if we don't stand up for our rights (she didn't even elude to which rights she was talking about) then we're nothing but meat and bones ?!?!?!?!?!?! What?
And then, she said she wore the meat bikini on the (Vanity, I think) magazine cover to give the message that she's not just a pile/bag of meat. Again, ?!?!?!?!?!
Ellen was slightly offended by the dress because she's a vegan. And, she gave Lady Gaga a bikini made of veggies.
But, I swear....that Lady Gaga is using drugs or something. It's like she's smart enough to have a message but - due to the drugs - the message gets lost in translation.
Sorry to diss Lady Gaga if any of you are fans!
