Gaga’s Meat Dress: Best. Halloween. Costume. Ever.

So, you of course remember Lady Gaga’s meat dress. We’ve talked about it here and here.

Now with Halloween just a couple weeks away, you might want to start thinking about how you can replicate that beauty for your spooky neighborhood party.

According to one article, this is the hot costume of the Halloween season this year. Read on …

The prime cut in Halloween costumes this year is Lady Gaga’s meat dress – if you can find it.

The little bloody dress donned by the diva last month is the most searched for celebrity costume on Yahoo.com, the website said.

A check of local costume shops came up empty, but at least one city butcher is willing to create the getup.

“It would be a challenge, but I think we could make it,” said Andrew Ilnicki, a meat carver at the East Village Meat Market on E. Ninth St.

“You would have to be very skillful,” he said. “It looked like 15 to 20 pounds of flank steak. It would take 10 hours.”

The price? Ilnicki said the steaks alone would run $150 and the labor involved would bring the price for the cookout-ready costume close to $1,000.

That’s a lot of dough for a Halloween costume! What are YOU going to be for Halloween this year? Gaga, perhaps???

Police Seeking Meat Thief

The words send shivers down my spine.

Someone is stealing meat? It can’t be true.

But this photo is of an alleged thief who has a laser focus:  steak.

Consider this from police officer Lisa Klein…

“He filled up a hand basket and just walked out,” Klein said. “I guess he just likes steak.”

You bet he likes steak. Enough to risk his freedom and dignity.

Shame.

Folks, there is a simple way to indulge your steak urges. Just pay for it! It’s the American way.

Let’s hope this guy’s shame is a cautionary tale. Just bum a few bucks off your friends if you need a steak and you’re a little short.

Case closed.

For all the details on this horrific crime, check out the full story here – if you dare.
