basic (or unbasic) black

Well, I DO love some nice red lipstick. That's never been in question.

But what about the rest of it? These are my confessions (part III): I don't care for a handkerchief hem. And if I'm going to tell it, I gotta tell it all: the gathering feels a bit haphazardly done. And yet she herself is lovely and doesn't look half bad. Even if she IS wearing wooden Dutch shoes made of gold (a mythical pair I think I read about in a children's story once). I think I am going to come down tentatively and with great trepidation on the side of I'll Allow It. What say ye, Fug Nation?

My So-Called Fug

Fug file:

I seriously do not know how these sort of things continue to happen:

I don't mean that I don't understand why Claire Danes continues to get invited places, or why people perform dramatic, hair-flipping turns toward the camera. I mean...well, you'll see after the jump. It's Not Totally Safe For Work. I mean, it's not FULL-ON unsafe, but I wouldn't email it to your boss or anything. Things are revealed which would be pixelated on network television, is what I mean.

Well Played, Dakota Fanning

Fug file:

Can we just take a moment to appreciate Dakota Fanning?

She's so adorable and well-put-together and she doesn't seem like she's about to push her grandma down the stairs to steal money for leggings and gin (LINDSAY) and I just want to send her a thank you note for all of the above.

Also, the dress is cute.

Unfug It Up: Rose Byrne

Fug file:

A couple of months ago, Ms Rose Byrne here mentioned us in Harper's Bazaar (not by name, of course, but I knew it was us because we're the only couple of snarky bloggers who've expressed concern about her emotional health -- because WE CARE, duh), and noted that she is NOT depressed, despite her wan mien in photos, but merely nervous. So I was pleased to see this:

That's more like it! Such a pretty face, such shiny hair. But...what is she wearing? Let's find out:

Fug or Fab or Unfug: Halle Berry

Fug file:

It is unusual indeed that I look at a picture of Halle Berry and think, "Eh. Halle doesn't look that great."

Because she is Halle Berry, and she usually looks great regardless of outfit. But this just fills me with eh, meh and feh, with a dash of blah and whole lot of BORING. Am I correct, or has Sharon Stone just ruined me for anyone else? Can this be fixed? Should it be fixed? How? Why? When? Where? Who? SO MANY QUESTIONS.

Fug file:

I am so excited for you guys to see this. I am so excited about it that I actually turned to Heather at a party we were attending last night and whispered, "I can't WAIT to go home and write about Sharon Stone!"

Because it all started with this:

She looks like a spy who's about to burst into a Fosse routine in celebration of finally nabbing her man, complete with hat-related choreography. And truly that would be enough for me -- the leather! The lipstick! The headgear! I'm happy. But because someone loves me, that turned into THIS:

Don't look so crabby, Little J.

[Photo: Splash News]

Either the Gossip Girl costumers are reacting to the public's generally horrified reaction to Taylor Momsen's usual Crotchtacular Faux-Punk style by wrapping her in as many yards of fabric as possible, or Little J has fallen through a rip in the space/time/reality continuum and has found herself living in a Henry James novel (this incarnation of which offers extra sequins). Either way, she should be thanking God we're not all screeching about how we can see the top of her thigh-highs. Enjoy the silence for as long as it lasts, kid.

If You Liked It Then You Shoulda Put a Fug on It

Fug file:

Look, I know Beyonce is essentially wearing a black sequined version of a Juicy sweatsuit here -- if they made one that involved leggings and a be-chained zippered vest -- and her sunglasses are probably a necessity considering how SHINY her ensemble is, but there's something about this picture that just cracks me up:

[Photo: Splash News]

I think it's just that her expression says, "HELLO FRIEND! I am so pleased to see you." And considering that most celebrities' faces say something something closer to, "DIE PAPARAZZI DOUCHES DIE please see my movie opening next Friday," her cheerfulness is refreshing. I admit, though, that I may also just be programmed to feel pleased whenever someone appears dressed as though they're about to perform something involving jazz hands, and I feel confident that whatever routine Beyonce plans to bust out while wearing this outfit -- perhaps while insisting to her fellow diners that she insists on picking up the tab -- it is going to be JAZZHANDSTASTICAL.

Abbey Clancfug

Fug file:

Abbey Clancy here is a British celeb who has apparently been a very busy woman. She's engaged to British footballer Peter Crouch, after a rocky start to their relationship in which he dumped her in the middle of the 2006 World Cup via fax (!!!!!!!!) because he decided she was a cheating cokewhore (I paraphrase). He apparently ALSO issued a statement VIA HIS LAWYER that they'd broken up and he was never going to have anything to do with her again. THAT is way harsh. But anyhoodle, now they're engaged. In addition to dealing with all this dramz, it seems Abbey found time to be first runner-up on Britain's Top Model, do a modeling show with Janice Dickinson, be a contestant on Hell's Kitchen, model lingerie, and, it seems, live a busy and full life. Judging from this dress, she's also apparently a model for a secret version of Project Runway in which WAGS act as models for designers who happen to be legally blind:

That appears to be: a bra, some haphazard tulle, and a variety of ribbon belts woven together to create what I believe Heidi Klum would dub, "a big old mess." I don't know about you, but I suspect there's a designer somewhere that is about to receive a very agitated fax.

basic (or unbasic) black

I feel like I'm the only person who hasn't really warmed up to NBC's Community. It keeps getting these slavish reviews, but in my -- admittedly limited -- viewings, the number of times I've laughed are outweighed by the moments in which I've realized I was boredly staring off into space, and had to say, "Wait, what's going on? I zoned out." I think it's because the show in part revolves around the assumption that the Joel McHale character is the kind of charming rogue who can make you love him even when he's being a douche, and in fact, I just think he's a smug asshat most of the time. ANYWAY. I'm sure I will eat those words in a few weeks, because that usually happens to me.

Let me endeavor to write words that will NOT become my dinner:

I do not think Community's Gillian Jacobs made a stellar choice here. The dress might be made of the most expensive fabric woven from unicorn hair, black pearls, and the tears of a clown, but it photographs like it's shiny construction paper. And I can't decide if the epaulets are TOO Liza Minnelli, just Liza Minnelli ENOUGH, or merely the shards of David Gest's wedding toupee in search of a new purpose. It's a lot to feel at once.
