The Wheels Are Turning

Hey guys,

Just a brief note -- that I hope you will be able to read, because that means the site will have loaded for you -- that we know the site is not loading properly or in a timely fashion today, and that some of the pictures aren't showing. The tech wizards are working on it, and we've been assured it will be resolved quickly. Thank you so much for your patience -- we have a ton of awesome Daytime Emmy stuff in the pipeline today! We'll send up a flare on our Twitter feed once it's totally fixed (we're @fuggirls, of course).

Love,

Us

Because it's Friday, it's time for the bullet points. Complete sentences require too much effort:

Heather and I recently wrote a piece for AOL's Lemondrop blog about the perils of wearing white (and how to avoid them), helpfully illustrated by celebrities. In case you were wondering:

"The actual last thing you want to look like is a runaway bride. Who had to climb over an electrical fence."

Of whom are we speaking? You'll have to read it to find out. Dum dum DUM! I know the suspense is killing you.

A gentle reminder that you can also follow us on Twitter. It's fun!
I really don't have another bullet point, but it seems lazy to only have two. If you only have two, you really CAN write a proper paragraph.
OH! I thought of one. We've gotten tons of emails about Fergie's latest -- so far I haven't been able to find it from any of our photo providers, which is why it hasn't gone up here yet but you MUST check it out courtesy of our friends at People Magazine. It's like what you'd wear if you felt as though your torso didn't look enough like an owl. I don't know about you, but I seriously think that all the time.

And Now We Are Five

Dear readers,

Today is a big day here in Fug Nation. Today is our birthday, and this little blog is five years old. If it were a person, it would be in kindergarten and probably wearing a dress over pants right now, the better to hang upside down on the monkey bars without any stupid boys seeing its underwear. We started GFY as a joke between friends, as some of you might know, and it's hard to believe how many new friends it has brought us, if you'll forgive the mushiness of that particular sentiment. We are very lucky indeed to be here today, and we know that we owe it all to our tremendously awesome readers. Thank you all so much for hanging out with us for the last five years -- a time during which some of you slogged through high school or college in its entirety, some of you graduated, some had babies, got married, or changed jobs (maybe more than once), some of you finally grew a satisfactory mustache, some of you got over that asshat who broke your heart, and some of you fell in love again (maybe more than once), all of the Americans in the crew lived through an entire presidential administration and started a new one, a lot of you watched a couple of Olympics, and all of you -- hopefully -- spent little bit of time procrastinating around these parts. And for that we thank you. And we'll be back to business as usual tomorrow. But as our gift to you, we leave you with some video clips of defining moments in our collective consciousness. BEHOLD.

1) Kimberly Rips Off Her Wig:

2) Sammy Jo Gets Into a Catfight With Stupid Amanda, Claudia Blaisdel HILARIOUSLY Sets The Hotel On Fire With Her Hate Candles And Exhibits Poor Reflexes, and Blake AWESOMELY Tries to Choke Out Alexis (I'm so sure):

Twitter Reminder: Fuggirls

Fug file:

housekeeping

So it's week two of Twittering, and we're still doing it. Who knew?

If you'd like to follow our feed, our user name is fuggirls -- or, click here to read and/or bookmark our page. If you don't, you miss terribly important information, like our feelings on Motley Crue's The Dirt, onion rings, and Courtney Peldon's random-ass appearance in the crew credits of The Proposal. All of which will make it very difficult for you to sleep at night, we're sure.

GFY and Twitter and You: Partners in Fugdom

Fug file:

housekeeping

So, it's finally happening: We are joining 2009 -- well, technically, 2008 I suppose -- and starting a Twitter feed for Go Fug Yourself.

I know, George. It's a heady, scary time. We're limping slowly into a brave new world.

But we think that, for the people who use Twitter, it'll make it a bit easier to follow our new entries -- every time we post fresh content, there will be a Tweet and a link. And although we probably won't use it (at least for now) to have conversations with other Twitter users -- since that can make reading a Twitter feed kind of like listening to one half of someone's phone conversation -- we will occasionally post random other thoughts on there too, depending on what's happening on a given day. Maybe I'm watching the 90210 where Kelly is trapped in the bathroom during the fire with Crispy Lesbian, and Ray Pruit runs back inside to look for them, and I'm thinking, "That actor is a firefighter now. This episode MADE HIM what he is today." Or maybe Jess is reading gossip that makes her want to hit her head against the keyboard. Or maybe we're both laying bets on whom God will smite from on high first, Heidi or Spencer, based solely on their heinous antics on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here.

The point is, we don't really know yet -- we're still feeling out this whole Twitter thing, like we're old ladies who don't understand the newfangled technology the kids are playing on these days. But we certainly hope that if you use Twitter, or even if you don't, you'll find it a handy way to keep track of what's new on the site.

Yes, George, it IS exciting. We're going to be just fine.

Our user name is fuggirls (as gofugyourself was taken already, which seems... unusual) and the direct link to our feed is right here.

Happy Monday!

Holy Cats, The Met Ball Was A Font of Fuggery

Fug file:

housekeeping

Just another notice to say that the Met Ball yielded SO much content -- praise be -- that we are updating often enough to keep bumping more and more entries off the home page. Ergo, don't forget to use the handy-dandy numbers at the bottom of the home page to leaf backwards and make sure you're not missing anything -- be it Met Ball related, or other stuff we sprinkled in between.

We realize 99.9 percent of you know this. But just in case, we don't want anyone to miss out on all the rampant nuttiness. And for the uninitiated -- like, say, if you are someone's grandmother, and you just found a laptop sitting around with this page loaded -- the aforementioned numbers look like this at the bottom of the last post on the page, but larger:

They just want to be loved by you. Plus, they'll come in handy on all the OTHER days when people leave the house en masse looking crazy, because -- material permitting, naturally -- we'd like to update more often and it's our Mid-2009 Resolution to find a way to do so. So go forth and enjoy.

Important Oscar Information We Neglected To Tell You Until Just Now

Fug file:

housekeeping

I have lost all sense of space and time, which is why I kind of forgot that the Oscars are THIS SUNDAY and we will be live-blogging the red carpet for The Cut, starting at 6pm EST. We are praying that Amy Adams wakes up on Sunday morning and decides that, because she's been listening to a ton of Bjork lately, she's going to wear this:

I am 100% not joking. I really want her to wear that.

Self Promotion Ahoy!

Ladies and gents, it has come to our attention that today is the last day for voting in the 2009 Bloggies. We are up for Best Fashion Weblog (against extremely stiff competition, including our coworkers over at NY Mag.com, not to mention the good folks at Fashionista and The Sartorialist, and our friends over at Project Rungay) and we invite you to head over there and vote if you feel so inclined -- and remind you that, in case you can't decide amongst us, GFY is probably the only blog which apparently has the psychic ability to predict what will happen next on MACGRUBER. If only that were a category...

Thanks kindly for indulging us! And now, back to our regularly scheduled shenanigans.

Golden Globes Liveblog!

Fug file:

housekeeping

Remember last year, when the Golden Globes were canceled, and all we got was some depressing news conference? BORING. Thank god they're back this year, and -- we pray! -- better than ever. We especially hope the red carpet will be fun and interesting and full of totally cracked-out behavior, because we're going to be live-blogging it for The Cut.

Why is there a picture of Alec Baldwin accompanying this information, you ask? I just like him, that's all. Does he not look jovial? All hail Jack Donaghy! See you all Sunday! You there -- yes, you, the one chewing on the top of her Bic Rollerball -- bring the onion dip.

Self Promotion!

Just a bit of exciting news! GFY is nominated for Best Fashion Blog in the 2008 Weblog Awards. We are, of course, tickled. In preparation, I am practicing both my Gracious Loser Face and my Humble Winner Expressions, as I already have my Enraged Violent Loser and Smug Asshat Winner faces down pat. Voting is still open, so if you'd like to cast a vote for us or any of the other fine blogs nominated in that category, you can do it here. Yay!
