Lady Gaga‘s infamous meat dress may have looked delicious to the world’s blood-hungry omnivores, but as she gears up to perform in one of the world’s most vegetarian-heavy countries, animal rights activists are asking her to give peas a chance. (Wokka wokka.)
In a letter to Gaga’s publicist, the Indian branch of PETA (which, due to cultural norms, is somewhat less offensive than the American branch) asked Mommy Monster to let them make her a dress entirely out of lettuce.
“If she agrees, we’ll make her a dress entirely of lettuce and held together by pins and threads. It will be a full length gown, and we’ll make sure it looks sexy,” said Sachin Bangera of PETA India. [Of course they will. -JP]
The dress would be constructed leaf by leaf on the singer’s body, taking some five to six hours.
“Someone will be on hand to spray the lettuce with water so that it doesn’t wilt,” Bangera added.
The organization also asked Gaga to go vegetarian for the duration of her visit, which wouldn’t be hard, as many regions of India are known for having the tastiest vegetarian food ever. This might seem pointless to many, as Lady Gaga clearly has no intention of giving up meat, but I guess there’s a chance some people might get over the childish idea that plant-based meals are gross if they see one of the world’s biggest pop stars enjoying them. (Because Lady Gaga has never enjoyed anything gross before.)
This actually isn’t the first time someone has tried to get Lady Gaga to wear vegetables on her body; famous vegan Ellen Degeneres presented her with such an outfit when she had her on her show last year:
If the world’s most beloved gay rights activist can’t get Gaga to wear her veggies, I’m not sure how much of a chance the world’s most hated animal rights organization stands.
