Barbie Gets Racy as Lady Gaga

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, News,

First came the Christian Louboutin collection, which was odd yet fairly acceptable; however, consumers are quick to see a desperate company in highly publicized collaborations like this. This time, Mattel is grabbing headlines by presenting a series of dolls that represent Lady Gaga's most memorable costumes outfits.

Considering this line's predilection for Gaga's more controversial looks -- the meat dress, the hair extension outfit, her sister's graduation look, and the barely-there caution tape "bodysuit" -- more concern lay in the attention this collection receives rather than what parents and traditional Barbie enthusiasts would prefer to purchase.

Lady Gaga, despite her intense wardrobe, has worn many beautiful and classy dresses (the McQueen dress she wore to the MTV VMAs, for instance) that would have been amazing to see on the iconic doll; yet, the company seems to have placed their standards for quality at an alarmingly low rate.

Either way, check out the rest of the dresses after the jump. They even made one for Beyonce from the "Telephone" video; unfortunately, judging by how little the doll actually resembles Beyonce, it looks like Mattel was not worried about slacking on the now less-popular singer's miniature counterpart.

Lady Gaga Meat Dress to Be Preserved

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,

So what is to become of Lady Gaga‘s infamous VMA meat dress? Beef jerky, of course! Unfortunately for die-hard monsters, it’s not jerky one can eat…

“The dress will go through a process where it becomes a sort of ‘jerky.’ The meat dries out, rather than rotting. But it shouldn’t be worn again,” said the designer of the dress, Franc Fernandez.

Additionally, it would appear as if the dress was the first and the last made of the animal parts: “There’s not going to be meat dresses in the future. This was made for a specific purpose. It’s what it is.”
