Photos: Memorable VMA moments - CNN.com September 6, 2012 -- Updated 1407 GMT (2207 HKT) In 2010, Lady Gaga accepted the award for video of the year wearing a dress, hat, heels and clutch made of raw meat. She even asked Cher, who presented her with the award, to hold her meat purse while she thanked her fans. Gaga later explained the look, saying, "If we don't stand up for what we believe in and if we don't fight for our rights, pretty soon we're going to have as much rights as the meat on our own bones. And, I am not a piece of meat. She showed up to the 2011 VMAs in drag, dressed as her alter ego Jo Calderone.
