This is a women in control of her own image and turning the tables on society, says Laurie Penny, a feminist writer and blogger. As Gaga herself said at the awards: "If we don't stand up for our rights soon we're going to have as much rights as the meat on our bones. And I am not a piece of meat."
“Start Quote

"It's a clever play on women being viewed as chunks of flesh, as pieces of meat, as things to be consumed," says Ms Penny.
"It's a sly wink at that aspect of society and the joke is on us. Just take her quip about asking Cher to hold her meat purse. She is the one laughing."
It's a bold statement, but definitely not a silly stunt, says Ms Penny. The dress has been very carefully made and is not just slabs of meat thrown together - it is like a "beautiful couture dress". This attention to detail shows it is something Gaga has thought through.
"People will say it's mad or crazy and, of course, there is a shock factor to it. But it is all very cleverly done and very calculated. This is a women in control of herself and her image. I think it's brilliant."
I think this view is very interesting, they have really looked into her reasons to wear the meat dress, using it as a view of power and women, portraying what women are seen as.
I personally think it is her portraying the way the world views her. Papparazi find any dirt they can on her, therfore portraying her as a piece of meat.
Because of my research i have thought of a fair amount of things i can relate my research for the project on.
Therefore my artist will just have to be jana sterbak.

Goth
if i could fit into a pair of leather pants i would.
Studs aswell
anything gold and shiny also.
this is getting ridiculous.
i did have a blog all written out with something interesting i thought about and had researched into.
but when i tried to copy and paste there is some form of setting that doesnt let me do so.
i will have to post that when i have the time to sit and re-write again :(
therefore why this blog has been created, first thing that came into my head.
leather
gold
studs
therefore my conclusion is . . . obsessed.
(i really do babble on about rubbish)
