Thinking About Replication Lady Gaga's VMA Meat Dress for Halloween?

With Halloween a week and a half away, people are racing to get their costumes together. Some people are considering making their own version of Lady Gaga's VMA Meat Dress. Although to my surprise, today I read an article by Melissa Dahl who is a health editor at msnbc.com that stated that some people are actually trying to use real meat.

Dahl stated the obvious about using real meat for this costume such as spreading bacteria, dripping blood everywhere, it's expensive and you'll be cold. In reality, you can just go and buy some material that looks like meat and build it up in such a way that it looks realistic. Plus it's allot cheaper than using real Meat!
