Remember Lady Gaga's infamous meat dress from the 2010 MTV Video Music awards? How could you forget it. The controversy-causing gown designed by Nicola Formichetti (pre-Mugler) and Franc Fernandez apparently has yet to rot, judging by the fact that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland just put it on display as part of its exhibit "Women Who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power." (Don't they remember that Gaga declared the dress a gay rights symbol?) If you make it to the show, don't expect the dress to look the same as it did in 2010: Franc Fernandez told us, "The meat dries out, rather than rotting" and warned: "it shouldn't be worn again."

Too bad, Daphne Guinness was looking for a Halloween costume.

For other outfits that have made it into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, check out the gallery below:

The dress is very much like her "art"...the longer it stays around, the worse it will smell.

The meat dress idea was stolen from the artist Jana Sterback, who wore/exhibited it in 1991, and got little acclaim for it. Real artists are always being ripped off, and then someone famous gets credit for it.

I think she did go just a little over-board. But, that is what make her the Lady Gag. She has always came up with famous "Lady Gaga" ward robe and brings in her own style.

It can't be real meat...wouldn't it have turned brown and stinky by now, and be full of maggots. It is one of the ugliest things I have ever seen!

what's next, a water mellow outfit to see if people still talking about her? I think GAGA is OK, nothing over that... everything else about her has been OVERRATED.
