Lady Gaga’s Meat Dress Immortalized in Hall of Fame
 |
Vegetarians, beware: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is serving up one very famous -- and controversial -- meat dress worn by Lady Gaga at the MTV Music Awards last fall. |
The Argentinean slabs of tartare may have been barbeque-ready when Gaga put them on last September. The singer modeled the dress when she accepted the Best Video of the Year, "Bad Romance," wearing it to proclaim, as she put it, "I am not a piece of meat." But let's face it: The freshness date of the frock -- and matching meat boots -- have long since passed.
A post on NPR explains the process for preserving the meat dress: The edible fashion statement "was kept in a meat locker, placed in a vat of chemicals and then dried out by taxidermists in California before being transported to the museum." Just one problem. It looked like a bunch of beef jerky -- which doesn't exactly pack the same punch.
To create a raw beef look, the jerky was painted over to appear fresh. That process took several months. So now, hopefully, the dress seen round the world won't be smelled round the world. Delicious.

YOU'VE HAD YOUR SAY, NOW BHOKE FROM BIG BROTHER HAS HERS
 |
| You watched her on your T.V. screens in Tanzania and then you watched her all over Africa on Big Brother Amplified 2011. She's had a controversial time since her exit but we were not satisfied with the word on the street... we wanted to hear it straight from Bhoke's own heart. Get to know Bhoke Egina all over again in her Exclusive interview with iMagazine. |
BE: Bhoke Egina is a very humble girl, down to earth, gets along with lots of people... I was born in Dar es Salaam I have two sisters and one brother and I'm the last born. I studied at Mlimani Primary School then Makongo High School, Tambaza High school and I did my Law degree at Tumaini University.
What motivated you to apply for Big Brother Amplified (BBA)?
BE: The last two years I went through a traumatic experience. I was pregnant and very sick and I had a premature baby and she passed away when she was three months actually its only been a year since she passed, I needed a change and I wanted to experience something different...
Wow, that is tough for any woman to hear let alone for a woman to go through. I can understand why you needed a change! How did you find out you had been selected?
BE: They sent me an email and called me after I had gone through dozens of interviews, I was so happy to be selected.
So, when you were on the plane ready to go to be part of the show, what were you thinking? What was on your mind?
BE: There were so many things on my mind at the time like how will the experience be, what kind of people will I meet, how will my friends take it because most of them didn't know I was going to be on the show. I was very excited to be chosen!
Once you got into the Big Brother house could you be yourself? Did you find yourself acting or were we seeing the real Bhoke?
BE: I tried to be myself as much as I could, it is a different environment so you have to adjust to some things and be flexible but acting NOOO, you can try to the first couple of days but sooner or later the real you will come out!
What about your housemates? Were they all genuine? Who was your favourite and who did you like the least?
BE: I think everyone was genuine atleast that's what I felt when I was in there, you can tell when a person is fake and like I said in that house its not easy to be fake and pretend. I was very close to Kim from Zambia, Nick from Kenya, Alex from Ghana, Ernest from Uganda and of course Confident...there were people that I was not close with for instance Karen, though we were in the process of getting to know one another.
You were surprised that Alex nominated you for eviction, he was one of your boys, why do you think he did that?

BE: Yes I was, I cannot say why he did it only he has the reasons why, but it is a game and I understand!

Going in, did expect to find Mr Right in there or make any lasting friendships?
BE: Mr Right Noooo...friendships Yes definitely!!!
Of course the questions that are on many people's lips concern a particular guy from Uganda..... when did you first see there was an attraction with Ernest?
BE: The first time I met him was in Johannesburg I was there for the Big Brother interview and so was he but we did not tell eachother that. We went out and had a great time when we returned to our countries we kept in touch still, we would call and text eachother all the time.
There are some things that we don't see especially us outside of Africa watching via Youtube and blogs, what was so special about Ernest that made the relationship move so fast?
BE: Our relationship did not move fast, like I said me and him met way before and just clicked and being in the same house just made us even closer.
Some of your housemates commented that you guys never showed interest to other people in the house... would you say that was a fair thing to say?
Some of your housemates commented that you guys never showed interest to other people in the house... would you say that was a fair thing to say?
BE: We mingled with other people just as much so I don't think that was a fair thing to say.
I watched a Youtube clip of you and Ernest talking I think the next day after something had happened. I felt from listening to you talking that you regretted what had happened. Did you? Was it a case of waking up after a drinking too much and thinking... nooo what happened last night??
BE: I had a lot to drink the previous night I can't deny that and I needed to understand what had happened... only me and Ernest know the truth of the matter regardless of what the clips might show or anyone might say nevertheless everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I respect that.
It happens to so many people but I guess unfortunately for you it was on live t.v. I've heard that on Big Brother you somehow forget that there are cameras and just live life as normal.... is that what happened?

BE: Big Brother is not a series that you say "action" and people begin to act, it's your everyday life it's more like we bring the cameras to your house so after a while you forget the cameras and just live as you would in your own house.
Listening to Ernest in that youtube clip one could feel that he was playing up for the cameras, that it didnt bother him as much. What do you think?
BE: I cannot speak for him, at that particular moment he told me something that I would remember for the rest of my life he said "This is your personal journey and nobody else's" He also reminded me of why I was there in the first place.

Do you think he was being genuine?
BE: I know he was genuine, we did not plan to meet in the Big Brother house maybe for me and him that's how we were supposed to meet, ...I'm just a girl with feelings and emotions just like everybody else.
How was it when you saw your family again after all of that. I guess it was their opinion that mattered most? Have they been cool?
BE: My family is my backbone especially my mother, they know me and we don't talk about things that don't matter.
And how is your relationship with your family now?
And how is your relationship with your family now?
BE: Just like it was from the begining nothing has changed not even one bit!
People can only judge you based on what they see. Is there anything you'd like to say about Bhoke to give the full picture, the parts of Bhoke people did not see on Big Brother?
People can only judge you based on what they see. Is there anything you'd like to say about Bhoke to give the full picture, the parts of Bhoke people did not see on Big Brother?
BE: People will always judge no matter what you say, I can write a whole speech about me and they would still judge, it's funny how people can write or say stuff about you that you don't even know for instance I have fan pages and I'm not in control of whatever is written on those pages. It is not me writing and people don't know that the only page I'm in control of is my personal Facebook account. No matter how much I think this is my business and nobody els I still don't believe that provoking people is a way to go. Anyways the people close to me know me and they've been very supportive I'm glad for that and that's what matters the most.
Another thing I guess is the culture. Here in the UK celebrities make money from their naughty antics on Big Brother. In Africa it's more conservative. What do you plan to do to erase those antics from people's minds when they think of Bhoke?
BE: I think when you meet me you'll see that I'm totally the opposite of what people think I am. You can't change people's minds if they don't want to, it's their prerogative to think whichever way they want about anything.... this experience has taught me a lot. I know who are my real friends and who are not ....I'm not going to let that phase me and make me lose my focus I think that would be a crime to myself.
Have you been in touch with Ernest since coming out of the house? Any plan to go to Uganda?
BE: Yes we are in touch, he's very supportive and very worried about me and about everything that's going on. I would like to get to know him better and see how it goes he's a great person and a good friend...And I can't wait to go to Uganda.
Other than the 'incident' was there anything in the house, for you, that you worried about your family and friends maybe seeing?
BE: Nothing whatsover I don't believe in living in fear I'm a free spirit. Whatever happens people move on with their lives so why shouldn't I move on with mine?
What do you have planned for the future? Will you continue with your show?
BE: Of course I will continue with the show, they haven't seen the last of me yet! I wan't us to take 5Connect to another level and I think we have the means to do it.
Who do you think deserves to win BBA 2011?
Who do you think deserves to win BBA 2011?
BE: I think Nick, Alex or Confidence
For all the good and bad - was your time on Big Brother a positive experience? Would you do it again if offered a spot on the next BBA All-Stars?
For all the good and bad - was your time on Big Brother a positive experience? Would you do it again if offered a spot on the next BBA All-Stars?
BE: It was a good experience for me afterall I had my personal reasons to go in there and I think I fullfilled what I wanted as an individual the rest as they say is history! If given a chance I will grab it for sure!
Thank you for talking to us Bhoke and we wish you all the best and hope to have you live on the Sporah Show in the future.

This is what a guy wrote to a systems analyst (Marriage Programme)
Dear Systems Analyst,
I am desperate for some help! I recently upgraded my program from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 and found that the new program began unexpected Child Processing and also took up a lot of space and valuable resources.
This wasn't mentioned in the product brochure. In addition Wife 1.0 installs itself into all other programs and launches during systems initialization and then it monitors all other system activities.
Applications such as "Boys' Night out 2.5" and "Golf 5.3" no longer run, and crashes the system whenever selected. Attempting to operate selected "Saturday Rugby 6.3" always fails and "Saturday Shopping 7.1" runs instead. I cannot seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the
background whilst attempting to run any of my favourite applications. Be it online or offline.
I am thinking of going back to "Girlfriend 7.0", but uninstall doesn't work on this program. Can you please help?
... AND THIS IS WHAT THE ANALYST SAID:
Dear Customer,
This is a very common problem resulting from a basic misunderstanding of the functions of the Wife 1.0 program. Many customers upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 thinking that Wife 1.0 is merely a UTILITY AND ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAM. Actually, Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM designed by its Creator to run everything on your current platform.
You are unlikely to be able to purge Wife 1.0 and still convert back to Girlfriend 7.0, as Wife 1.0 was not designed to do this and it is impossible to uninstall, delete or purge the program files from the System once it is installed.
Some people have tried to install Girlfriend 8.0 or Wife 2.0 but have ended up with even more problems. (See manual under Alimony/Child Support and Solicitors' Fees).
Having Wife 1.0 installed, I recommend you keep it installed and deal with the difficulties as best as you can. When any faults or problems occur, whatever you think has caused them, you must run the C:\APOLOGIZE\FORGIVE ME.EXE Program and avoid attempting to use the *Esc-Key for it will freeze the entire system.
It may be necessary to run C:\APOLOGIZE\FORGIVE ME.EXE a number of times, and eventually hope that the operating system will return to normal.
Wife 1.0, although a very high maintenance programme, can be very rewarding. To get the most out of it, consider buying additional Software such as "Flowers 2.0" and "Chocolates 5.0" or "HUGS\KISSES 600.0" or "TENDERNESS\UNDERSTANDING 1000.0", or even Eating Out Without the Kids 7.2.1" (if Child Processing has already started).
DO NOT under any circumstances install "Secretary 2.1" (Short Skirt Version) or "One Nightstand 3.2" (Any Mood Version), as this is not a supported Application for Wife 1.0 and the system will almost certainly CRASH.
BEST WISHES!
Your Systems Analyst.
