Taken out of context this sounds downright strange and totally like something my husband would say in reference to his breakfast.
I contemplated many ideas, including beef jerky, ham, ground beef, prosciutto… but they were all too expensive, thick, and/or runny. I chose salami because it’s thin, keeps in one piece, and is quite cheap, and bacon because it looks very, um, meaty.
Yum. Meaty.
And totally how I would describe my favourite dress.
Cute, right?
But, um… it’s MEAT.
Salami and bacon. Meat Meet dress.
(I think I love her.)
I once had a drunk conversation with a co-worker about how women should have perfume that smells like meat so men would be forever attracted to our “scent”. Going bar hopping would be a whole new experience when all the guys in the club come begging to buy drinks, dance and take you home with them.
This dress? Far better than perfume.
This is the ULTIMATE guy picker-upper.
Because nothing could be better than waking up next to a stranger with whom you can enjoy your meat dress over coffee and toast.
I totally just looked at the pictures THEN read her actual post. So funny.
This is the most awesome, disgusting thing I have ever made. I reeked of salty bacon and salami, which I found out is actually quite alluring to guys. If you ever need a date, I highly recommend wearing a meat dress. I badly wanted to go to a vegan restaurant in it. Or walk through the park and make dog friends. Alas, the best things in life are fleeting, and after the party, it had to be disposed of. *sigh* I miss my meat dress.
I totally LOVE Jia. I want to be her new best friend.
Thanks Jeff and Kim!

I saw this on some other blogs and, even after reading about the construction of the dress, it just seems like it would smell…
I’m surprised Demeter (http://www.demeterfragrance.com/) hasn’t come out with a meat fragrance yet. Bacon is the new black! Besides, they already have such alluring scents as Play-Doh and Earthworm and Dirt.

I thought the whole blog entry was hilarious!

Isn’t there a BK Whopper perfume or cologne?

Karen might remember this… but there was a whole to-do here when an performance artists exhibit her meat dress at the national gallery. (The idea was to let it rot I think….)

From Scopes. Quite the to-do at the time. Still not entirely sure what I think about it…

This is perfect to wear when I go out for supper for my husband and order the almost raw huge piece of steak. I always feel guilty for eating meat but now if I’m wearing it too it shouldn’t be as bad.

That is super awesome. I totally want to be friends with this chick, her costumes are superb

The dress is great, but I’m laughing at the Aqua Teen Hunger Force reference in her pictures (the apple and paper towel roll). Those two are Dewey and Vanessa, the dolls of Meatwad, who happens to be a ball of meat… Which is what her dress is made out of.. Coincidence? I think not.
