Jerky dress! (AP)
Can you believe it was only last year that Lady Gaga donned that meat dress to the VMAs? Well, it was, but now that meat dress is at least nine months old, so surely it's been thrown away or burned by now, right? Wrong-o! The dress has been cured, as in jerky, and is being donated to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Cure-ators there say, "It's going to be in a case and we are putting some canisters in there to control the humidity, and then we have this other canister that soaks up the glutens. But it's in a sealed case and we have the gels to control the environment in there." So there you have it, Lady Gaga's dress is now a giant Slim Jim. Gross.
