Haus Of Gaga – The Meat Dress
No visit to the Haus of Gaga: Las Vegas exhibition (found in the Park MGM Casino in Vegas) is complete without a viewing of Lady Gaga’s infamous Meat Dress (and shoes and hat), the Franc Fernandez ensemble she wore to 2010 Video Music Awards.
This dress has since been cured into meat jerky and painted red because, of course, preserved meat is normally brown.
The Meat Dress
The Meat Hat
The Meat Boots
I could definitely envision a bada$$ (And bad. Period.) futuristic female warrior wearing the remnants of her kills.

Seizing Power
This cyborg believes he’s in control.
Power is the self-appointed leader of the cyborg council. Other members might debate situations. He makes the ultimate decisions.
When a threat to Homeland is revealed, he takes command of a fleet and ventures to the edge of cyborg-controlled space to investigate. He finds a rebellion led by a mysterious upstart he calls Cadet.
The plan Power derives is simple—he’ll quickly quash the uprising and teach its leader a lesson the warrior will never forget.
NO ONE challenges his authority.
Eirene Ours might be called a cadet by Power but she is NOT his subordinate. She is the arrogant E Model’s genetic match.
For much of her mature lifespan, she has desired the male, yearning for his dark-eyed gaze, craving his sure hands, longing for his respect.
That esteem was never granted. And Eirene Ours can no longer wait to earn it. There’s an external threat to their kind, a danger that might destroy them all.
Having lured Power to her home terrain, she now plans to use everything within her means — her fists, her daggers, her ship-destroying missiles — to pound that truth into her stubborn warrior’s thick metal skull.
The future of every cyborg is at stake. She can’t fail them.
Power will believe her. Or he will die.
***
Seizing Power is an enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features an epic battle between two equally strong cyborg leaders, plans that go terribly yet passionately wrong, and a love that will shake the entire universe.

Haus Of Gaga – Footwear
I don’t talk much about footwear in my stories. The cyborgs and many of the females tend to wear plain, practical black boots.
But there is, of course, a variety of footwear available to them.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby took some photos of the footwear at the Haus of Gaga: Las Vegas exhibition, found in the Park MGM Casino in Vegas. I thought you might find some of them inspiring.
These Alexander Mcqueen Butterfly Boots were my favorites. I could picture a villainess wearing footwear crafted from beautiful creatures. Maybe on an alien planet, these creatures would be alive, trapped forever, forced to be an evil being’s fashion accessory.
These Alexander McQueen Armadillo snakeskin ankle boots have the same villainess feel to them. Footwear fashioned from the skin of perhaps a scaly enemy would signal how fierce and bad that character is.
These Noritaka Tatehana silver rhinestone ‘Lady Mary’ platforms scream space. (grins) They’re sparkly and silver and would be the perfect footwear for a stylish heroine situated on a ship with that classic gray décor.
These Noritaka Tatehana ‘Lady Pointe’ platform ballet slippers look like footwear Princess Nancy would don. They will give her some much-needed extra height, allowing Truth, her cyborg, to kiss her more easily, and they are sparkly and delicate-looking.

Haus Of Gaga – Warrior Outfits
The Haus of Gaga: Las Vegas exhibition (found in the Park MGM Casino in Vegas) is SO inspiring. The Dear Wonderful Hubby snapped a gazillion photos. I hope to use some of these shapes and pieces of these designs for garments in future stories.
Front View
Side View
My stars. Look at this! This Giorgio Armani outfit is my favorite.
It resembles a wire shell for a xenomorph from one of the Alien movies. There’s a black crystal-embellished catsuit underneath a wire alien bodysuit with a mask and gloves
I could see this outfit on a space gladiator. The wire ‘cage’ over the fighter’s head would stop blades from piecing her face. The wing-like shoulders would also deflect projectiles and blades. Her vulnerable torso is protected.
Leather is always a staple material for any warrior. This Versace outfit has gold-plated studs to prevent enemies from grabbing our heroine. The big shoulders increase protection in that at risk area. They would likely stop a blade. The arms are covered. The belt can double as a whip-like weapon. The bottoms are shorts, not an impractical skirt.
This Zaldy outfit is for warriors who don’t want to hide from their enemies. The mirror ball material would reflect light and might blind or confuse her foes. The cone bra clearly can be used to mount guns on. The huge shoulders protect the back of our warrior’s neck.
