Lady Gag-Gag
I’ve tried to avoid anything regarding this because I’m sure it was all about publicity,but when the Sixth Grader heard Lady Gaga’s comments on Ellen about the “dress”, I couldn’t ignore it anymore.
“Well, it’s certainly no disrespect to anyone that’s vegan or vegetarian….I, as you know, am the most judgment-free human being on Earth,” said La Gaga. “However, it has many interpretations — but for me this evening it’s that if we don’t stand up for what we believe in, if we don’t fight for our rights, pretty soon we’re gonna have as much rights as the meat on our bones.”
First of all, if you can decipher what the hell she is saying, then you’re one-up on me. Whose rights is she referring to? Certainly not the animal’s. Of course she has the right to wear what she wants, but what was the point of this? Could she not have expressed “her right” in another, less offensive and disgusting way? Or am I taking away her right by saying that? And then did she really need to wear it again and parade in front of a vegan (Ellen)?
Apparently, however, she has a “beef” with fur and while wearing a Kermit outfit, said:
“…. I really loved this one in particular because I thought it was commentary on not wearing fur, ’cause I hate fur and I don’t wear fur. We were all laughing in the house about how it looks like a pile of dead Kermits.”
She makes about as much sense as a back pocket on a shirt. Actually I don’t think sense has anything to do with it–it’s called hypocrisy.
VeganMoFo Time!
That is, Vegan Month of Food! Vegan bloggers are encouraged to blog everyday in the month of November about everything vegan. I think I’m up for the challenge! Post Punk Kitchen came up with the idea based on NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month–also in November). Since I already have my hands full with a nonfiction writing project, I’ll have to skip NaNoWriMo this year, but I think I can handle VeganMoFo.
And don’t forget, November 1 marks the beginning of Vegan World Month, so host a fabulous vegan feast for your friends and loved ones!
“I eat everything that nature voluntarily gives: fruits, vegetables, and the products of plants. But I ask you to spare me what animals are forced to surrender: meat, milk, and cheese.”

So I’m curious about your writing project…can you share? And Lady Gaga always confuses me. She’s one interesting woman. Thank you for sharing with us, and for your continued thoughts and prayers.
I am writing a nonfiction book about Folsom prison (in Folsom, CA) and the men who executed there. Sounds like a feel good book, right? 😉 I typically write fiction, but this project just sort of fell into my lap and I knew I had to tackle it. Folsoms93.com The site will tell you more about the book and the obscure family connection to it. I’m going on 2 years of research and have finished a proposal. I’m ready to find some fantastic agent who loves the project as much as I do!
Lady Gaga is certainly interesting–can’t quite figure her out and that’s ok.
I was devastated to hear about your nephew and haven’t stop thinking about him and your family since–he’s a lucky little boy to have such a beautiful, wonderful family surrounding him. I will continue to pray for him.
