secretly awesome

You know what I love? If you've been reading long enough, you probably do: Diet Coke, sandwiches, Josh Jackson, shoes, and when people wear wacky hats to horse races. Yesterday (or...two days ago? I get confused with the whole international date line thing, and how our friends in Australia are living in THE FUTURE) was the Melbourne Cup, and it was not disappointing. Let's examine the ladies and their wacky/fabulous hats, shall we?

Former Miss Universe Jennifer Hawkins looks fine, if maybe in need of a slightly larger skirt. Like, half a size. Maybe a quarter of a size. Just so I can't see her hip flexor muscles. But what's that on her head?

The Fuggettes

Fug file:

I have to give Shingai Shoniwa of the Noisettes props for several reasons:

I really like their album.
The Noisettes recently appeared on an episode of One Tree Hill, which has, thus far this season, also reintroduced us to Center Stage's Jody Sawyer -- whose character is, I'm pretty sure, secretly actually dead -- and the concept that one can use Red Vines to legitimately menace someone. Anyone who will appear on that show is extra okay by me, and I'm including Kevin Federline in that.
She's wearing the garnish from a daiquiri in her hair. Someone who will cheerfully pose for the cameras while literally wearing fruit as a headdress is obviously amusing.
Once you get bored of eating her headgear, you can practice your Gordian knot-work on her skirt!
So, to recap, this ensemble provides both your daily allowance of vitamin C, and a helpful brain exercise that also keeps your fingers at their most dexterous! Win-win!

We're looking at the stars of what could potentially be the greatest buddy comedy reality show ever. Mark Burnett, CALL ME.

Fugliette and the Fugs

Fug file:

So, I've never heard Juliette (Lewis) and the Licks perform, but I did decide to look up some of their song titles -- I mean, any woman who gets up on stage looking like this has to be crooning some doozies:

And indeed, in the stirring "Death of a Whore," Juliette sings, "I felt like nothing was real all tattered and blue like a gutted sheep. And oh, I'm having visions again." That's kind of close to how I felt when I saw this picture. It felt like a hallucinatory dream caused by falling asleep atop copies of Lord of the Flies and Where The Wild Things Are.

Just for kicks, let's check out the rest of the outfit:

Daytime Emmy Awards Fug or Fab: Stacy Haiduk

Fug file:

Sweet Mary Jane, I love the Daytime Emmys. For one, I love soaps, and for another, it gives all these people who work tirelessly to make sure that we can still watch characters coming back from the dead, or marrying their way through an entire extended family, or trying to make themselves temporarily blind by injecting Botox into their [WORD REDACTED TO AVOID CAUSING ME SEVERE MENTAL TRAUMA].

And speaking of Mary Jane, this lady -- Stacy Haiduk -- plays a character on The Young and the Restless by that name.

Now, Mary Jane is really Patty Williams, who had good old-fashioned face-changing surgery so she could skulk into town pretending to be someone else and wreak havoc on her enemies, and also executed a good old-fashioned "drug a dude so he'll think you're someone else, sleep with you, and get you pregnant" scheme. And so even if I hate what she's wearing, this is probably the perfect thing for Ms. Haiduk's character: We can see her villainous nipple shields, and she's wearing truly evil semi-detached beaded sleeves, all of which make her look like a classic overdramatic soap villainess who likes to throw gala parties at which everyone drinks punch spiked with hormones and a dead body falls out of a cake (so, you know, your typical Labor Day barbecue).

But in aligning fashion and fiction, I'm thinking maybe Stacy shouldn't have gone QUITE so far. For instance, she brought her co-star:

The Fug and the Restless

Fug file:

I have a great fondness for Kate Linder, if only because I appreciate that the Wikipedia article about her Y&R character notes that she is a "retired maid," who is also independently wealthy and uses the sentence, "Esther and Roger eventually married, but the marriage was declared invalid after it became clear that Roger was in fact a bigamist." It's so awkward when you find out that, in fact, your husband is a big old bigamist - unless, I guess, you're on Big Love. You also have to give props to a woman who, upon landing a role on a soap opera, decided to keep her day job as a flight attendant.

In fact, I suspect she could fly the friendly skies solely using the wingspan of her pants.

Natural Born Fuggers

I don't know about you, but I'm in a pretty good mood right now. And I suspect that THIS is why:

[Photo: WENN.com]

Okay. We've got sequined pants, a pleather crop top, fingerless gloves, a bunch of ties hanging off a belt, a freaky feathery bolero jacket AND bright blue eye make-up. This is like a costume from a musical adaptation of Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, called Mad? Max! crossed with some kind of hipster belly-dancing experience -- and if you don't think the hipsters are going to co-opt belly-dancing eventually, and in a way beyond just fitness classes, you're wrong. Also, I guess I'm officially old now that I'm referring to people as "hipsters" like that crotchety neighbor who is always calling to you across the street to ask you to explain something on the iPhone. But let's be honest. Not only would I see that musical, I would enthusiastically recommend it to others before heading off to my new favorite dive bar. They have belly dancing AND Pabst on tap! Thanks for the good times in advance, Juliette!

Hofit Fuglan

Fug file:

Oh, Hofit Golan. Sweet Hofit "Phoebe-Price-esque Princess of Cannes" Golan. How hard you do try.

But, see, they already HAVE a Care of Magical Creatures teacher at Hogwarts. Ditto Herbology. So there might not be much need of a lady who looks like she's caught in the middle of a botched transfiguration into a giant African Violet. Although -- to mix literary references for one shameless second -- if they ever move the royal meeting from Ascot Racecourse to a track through the looking glass in Wonderland, you will totally be its queen.

I don't know about you.

But I just found my wedding dress. I spent my girlhood dreaming of a gown that would marry -- so to speak -- the aesthetics of Barbie with the "November Rain" video, and HERE IT IS. Now I just need to find an awesome dude wearing a top hat with his hair over his face to act as best man and track down Axl Rose and we're SET.

Fug on For One More Day, Yet Actually Well Played, Carnie Wilson

Fug file:

So, Carnie Wilson here just had a baby. Like, JUST had a baby. Like on Monday. THIS Monday. Which, presumably, explains why she is out and about in a full-on, leopard print muumuu. To which I say: ROCK ON, LADY.

[Photo: FlynetOnline.com]

I am not joking. If you can't walk around town in a leopard print muumuu three days after giving birth, WHEN CAN YOU? I think getting what is essentially a FORMAL MUUMUU for the few weeks post-childbirth is honestly totally awesome. Because it's comfortable AND it's sassy AND it's TOTALLY CRAZY in a way that is both hilarious and completely acceptable. And if some asshole is all like, "nice MUUMUU," you can be like, "I just had a baby. What have YOU done lately?" and then they'll be all, "uh....congratulations." And then you and your awesome crazy muumuu can sweep off victoriously. So a hearty congratulations to Carnie Wilson and family on their new addition and their clearly robust senses of humor. May I suggest a Hawaiian print for your next outing?
