Lady Gaga has worn blood (see: 2009 VMAs) and fake animals (bejeweled lobsters, Kermit the Frog heads), but in this month's issue of Vogue Hommes Japan, she takes her outfit insanity to another level: she wears a meat bikini.

The barely-there bodice, which is made completely of uncooked beef, is perhaps her most controversial outfit yet. PETA is naturally up in arms about the edible ensemble, which echoes ones they called out last year on America's Next Top Model. The animal rights group previously supported Gaga's garish garb, asking the faux-fur wearing pop star to pose nude for them in their "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign. This outfit, however, doesn't meat, er, meet their standards.

The organization's president, Ingrid Newkirk, told the New York Daily News, "Lady Gaga's job is to do outlandish things, and this certainly qualifies as outlandish because meat is something you want to avoid putting on or in your body."

Maybe it's just us, but this seems like the nicest PETA statement ever. When they were critiquing ANTM, they were much harsher, saying, "Meat represents bloody violence and suffering, so if that's the look they were going for - they achieved it." Perhaps they're trying to stay in La Gaga's good books? You know, for future photo shoots?

In the magazine, you'll also find Gaga donning drag and partaking in an interview -- as her male alter ego, Jo Calderone. Wearing a leather jacket, jeans and a Danny Zuko hairdo, Jo claims to be Gaga's friend/occasional lover. "She's [expletive] beautiful, funny and interesting," Jo says of Gaga. "I was a little nervous for [the photo shoot]...She said, 'Don't be, baby, you were born this way.' I took her out after. The rest is private."
