Fuggie Siff

There's something really refreshing about actresses who repeat their fancy dresses -- I mean, if Angelina Jolie did it, I'd be sort of shocked, because she could buy and sell Spain three times over and still have change. But by and large, it's a welcome spot of normalcy, especially in these trying economic times when many of us are balking even at buying shoes.

So I applaud former Mad Men actress Maggie Siff for (theoretically) saying, "You know what, screw it -- I like this dress, I already have it, and I don't want to shell out a bunch of cash for something new."

It's just unfortunate that the dress she's repeating is one that Jessica fugged her for back in October, because time has not made it look any LESS like a shiny orange satin cupcake. In fact, it has only served to increase my cravings for an orange cupcake of some ilk.

Maybe Maggie has a plan. Maybe she thought that Jon Hamm might see her around the ballroom, mistake her for an elaborately upholstered beanbag chair, and take a seat to rest his delicate plates. If I find out that plan worked and that Maggie spent an hour with Jon Hamm in her lap. I am going to run right out and buy one of these myself.

** Oh, bless, apparently the
Mad Men revue she's performing in above was ALSO performed in October, hence the repeat outfit. So now the question is: Whom is she bribing in order to GET them to dress her like a potential Hamm-enticing beanbag chair?

Fug or Fab: Anne Hathaway

I might be getting tired of Anne Hathaway. And when I suspect I am getting tired of someone, I start to doubt my judgment of their ensembles. Because I don't know if it's the ennui talking or what. For example, I suspect this might be a series of high-end bathmats sewed together:

Or it might be awesome -- it does look sort of deliciously tactile and I like the textures. Or it might be both, like the winning design in a Create An Outfit Using Only the Contents of This Bathroom challenge on Project Runway that just managed to eke out a win over the overalls made of a shower curtain.

Mad Fug

When I first saw this pic of Mad Men's Maggie Siff, I admit that I wondered if she were actually in costume:

But then I realized that her character, Rachel, is way too elegant to ever wear what is essentially a shiny orange satin cupcake with a brooch in her hair and matching shiny orange shoes. I wonder if she had some kind of bet with the Mad Men costumers. Like, she bet that she could go a week without showing off her very unladylike parlor trick of sticking her entire fist in her mouth, and they took that bet -- I may be drawing from life here, but in my case, I bet I could go THE REST OF MY LIFE and I'm still winning, and, yes, I am aware that I only win this bet upon my death, but my estate is really counting on that ten bucks -- but she couldn't hold out late one night on set after many faux martinis and clove cigarettes and now look at her. I feel you, Maggie. I really do.

Fug or Fab: Carla Gugino

First, I liked this. Then it started to remind me of the kind of upholstery you'd see in the bedroom of a very rich woman who secretly believed she was the reincarnation of Marie Antoinette.

Then I kind of liked it again.

Oh, SOLANGE. Just because you're the Knowles no one remembers, it doesn't mean you have to upholster yourself like a sofa someone left out by the street:

At the very least, upholster yourself like something that's still in the house.

Dare To Fug Me

I'm pleased Lindsay Lohan is apparently booking a few jobs that give me headline material for whenever we want to feature her. And I think I'm supposed to settle for being pleased that she is not wearing leggings here.

However, I'm distinctly NOT pleased that she's forsaken the Spandex Scourge in favor of looking like somebody dug her out of their attic, shampooed her, and then brought her to Antiques Roadshow to find out if Marie Antoinette ever sat on her at a state dinner.

I would suggest that maybe her mom could stop gallivanting around being gross and trying to turn her youngest kid into a new meal ticket, but alas, I'm pretty sure Dina's influence would only cause Linds to streak on some leg bronzer and throw on some even CLUMSIER makeup, all part of the Lohan Matriarch's effort to make sure her kids look so prematurely old that she could pass as their younger sister. Sigh. Maybe Lindsay learned her lesson about unflatteringly short skirts when she wasn't allowed to sit down anywhere without a cater-waiter performing a panty check; however, in the wrong hands that could be interpreted as a dating strategy, so I should probably just give up hope and go meditate on lunch.
