Lady Gaga身披五花肉 霸氣橫掃MTV大獎
Lady Gaga dramatically won the attention of the MTV Video Music Awards when she took to the stage in a matching dress, boots, hat and purse apparently made from raw meat.
She collected eight awards while wearing the outfit which appeared to be made of cuts of beef.
It was in fact designed by fashion designer Franc Fernandez - although it was not clear whether it was made from realistic-looking fabric or actual meat.
The Poker Face singer, 24, had for the second highest number of wins in one night in the history of the event.
Cher presented her with the most coveted award of the ceremony, Video Of The Year for Bad Romance.
Lady Gaga handed Cher her purse and told the audience: "I never thought I'd be asking Cher to hold my meat purse."
She told the audience: "Thank you so much. I was so nervous for tonight that I would let my fans down. I love you so much.
"I promised if I'd won this tonight I'd announce the name of my new record. It's called Born This Way."
Later Lady Gaga explained that the dress was designed to draw attention to the need to "fight for our rights".
When Ellen DeGeneres presented Lady Gaga with a “veggie bikini” as an alternative to the meat dress on her show Lady Gaga said: “Well, it is certainly no disrespect to anyone that is vegan or vegetarian. As you know, I am the most judgement-free human being on the earth.
"However, it has many interpretations. For me this evening, if we don’t stand up for what we believe in and if we don’t fight for our rights pretty soon, we’re going to have as much rights as the meat on own bones. And, I am not a piece of meat.”
Not all celebrity watchers were impressed by her choice of outfit. An awards insider from the Los Angeles Times blogged that the stunt was boring.
Meanwhile, last week Lady Gaga appeared on the cover of Japanese Men's Vogue wearing a meat bikini and attracting criticism from animal rights groups.
當Lady Gaga身着看似由生肉製成的套裙、靴子、帽子，拎着手袋登上美國MTV音樂錄影帶大獎頒獎臺時，她立即成爲全場的焦點。
當晚，Lady Gaga穿着這身“牛肉片”行頭橫掃八項大獎。
這套禮服其實是時裝設計師弗蘭克•費爾南德斯的大作，但究竟是由以假亂真的纖維還是生肉製成還不清楚。
因演唱《撲克臉》一舉成名的24歲歌手Lady Gaga一夜之間追平了該獎項歷史上的第二好成績。
她因一曲《羅曼死》而斬獲了最令人豔羨的年度最佳音樂錄影帶獎。（老一輩流行天后）雪兒爲Lady Gaga頒獎。
Lady Gaga把手袋遞給雪兒，對觀衆說：“我從沒想過能讓雪兒給我拿着‘肉手袋’。”
她還對觀衆說：“謝謝你們。今晚我很緊張，很怕讓我的粉絲們失望。我深愛着你們。”
“我承諾過如果今晚我贏得大獎，就會公開新專輯的名字，謎底就是Born This Way。”
隨後她解釋道，這件禮服的設計初衷是爲了喚起大家“爭取權利”的意識。
當艾倫•德詹尼斯給Lady Gaga拿來一件“蔬菜比基尼”讓她換換“口味”時，Lady Gaga說：“這當然不是對純素食者或普通素食者的不敬。大家都知道，我是世界上最無懼議論的人。”
“但這件‘鮮肉衣’可以有多種解讀。我今晚穿這件衣服就是想告訴大家，如果我們不堅持信仰，不立即爲權利而戰，我們的權利早晚會只剩下‘肉骨頭’。換種解釋也可以說，這表明我不只是一塊肉。”
並非所有名人觀察家都讚賞她的這身裝扮。《洛杉磯時報》的一位權威評獎人士發博文稱這種噱頭令人生厭。
Lady Gaga上週還身穿“肉制比基尼”登上日本《時尚先生》封面，這招致了動物權利保護組織的批評。
Vocabulary:
vegan: a vegetarian who omits all animal products from the diet（嚴格的素食主義者，不吃肉、奶、蛋等，有的不用動物產品）
stunt: any remarkable feat performed chiefly to attract attention（意在引人注意的花招，噱頭）
