Hey Little Monsters, Lady Gaga has a load of surprises for you – a new album, a Northern American tour and for us DC Monsters, an exclusive that’ll make the rest jealous.

Lady Gaga knows how to keep her Little Monsters happy and DC’s Monsters are no exception. Residents will be able to see the famous meat dress she wore at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards this Friday, September 8. The dress will be featured in an exhibit hosted by the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Since she wore the dress, it has been dried and painted to keep its raw meat color and will also display an explanation of her political message.

If the dress wasn’t enough to get you excited, Gaga is also going on tour. Frequently referred to as Mother Monster, she took to Twitter to reveal the tour dates and DC has been added to the list. She will be performing at the Verizon Center on February 25th.

In addition to the dress and tour, fans can expect a new album. The album has been titled ARTPOP and is slated for an early 2013 release. She says this album will be a “multimedia experience that comes in different forms.”

Wow, that’s a lot of Gaga for the next couple of months to keep all her Monsters excited.
