Lady Gaga has raised the ire of animal rights activists after posing in nothing but raw meat for the cover of a fashion magazine cover.
The pop star posed in a “bikini” made entirely of slabs of red meat for the cover of Japan’sVogue Hommes — and campaigners at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) are not pleased. The cover was shot by world-renowned fashion photographer Terry Richardson. In addition to the revealing meat outfit, Lady Gaga wears a small slab of beef on her head like a beret.
In a statement issued Tuesday, PETA President Ingrid Newkirk slammed the pop sensation’s latest fashion faux pas.
“Lady Gaga’s job is to do outlandish things, and this certainly qualifies as outlandish because meat is something you want to avoid putting on or in your body,” Newkirk remarked.“No matter how beautifully it is presented, flesh from a tortured animal is flesh from a tortured animal. Meat represents bloody violence and suffering, so if that’s the look they were going for, they achieved it.”
It was just last year that PETA bosses begged Lady Gaga to strip for their Rather Go Naked than Wear Fur ad campaign after she vowed never to wear animal skins.
Inside the magazine, the “Poker Face” singer appears in photos and in an interview as her male alter-ego, an Italian mechanic named Jo Calderone.
"That's DOPE"
