Desperate Fug, Random Fug

Is it just me, or is Nicolette not wearing a shirt under the tunic, either?

I totally thought it was that Adrienne chick from America's Next Top Model/Surreal Life.

....Kim makes me think of the WWF.

Um, dress over pants is what we used to wear on snowy days when I was in elementary school (a million years ago). It was cute then because we were 7 years old - this is not cute, this is just confused.

i have yet to see someone pull off the 'dress-over-jeans' look, but also i dont really think its a look anyway. and i thought nicollette would move on from fugging after being named worst dressed. one can only dream..

Maybe those two can get together so between them they each have a whole outfit?

I thought that was Britney (wearing shoes!) and that maybe Kevin had finally replaced his wife-beaters and man-pris! For a split second I was really excited for both of them.

At lease Nicolette is wearing undees. Not much else though. Awful

I love that dress. Love it. But with the jeans? It kind of makes her look really short. Oh, and it's ugly.

You remember that part in "Goldmember" where Austin got on top of MiniMe's shoulders as they were dressed as a sailor and had to take a urine sample? That's what Kim Diretor's outfit reminds me of. She looks like she's riding on a short person's shoulders who happens to be wearing jeans and boots. So not a good look.

Oh my God Maggiebelle! Your right! Thats craptastic.
I cant even look at it now it's messing with me.

i actually thought that was cameron diaz in the nicolette sheridan pic. i don't know who should be more insulted -- cameron or nicolette.

Meh, I don't know--I think I see hints of what might be a bathing suit under Nicolette's over-sized top, which, I guess I just don't see it as being THAT big of a fug. Depending, of course, on where these folks are going. If they're walking from the beach to their car, more power to her, 'cause I wouldn't wear pants, either. If they're on their way to lunch or shopping or something (which the pocketbook she's carrying suggests is a possibility), then I'm with everyone else in begging Nicolette to please stop thinking everyone wants to see that much of her...

As for the other picture...You're not nine, lady, so stop acting like you're playing dress-up in your mom's closet by throwing one of her dresses on right over your play clothes!

I totally thought that WAS Debi Mazar for a second, until I looked closer. Ha!

Wow Nicolette has put on quite a bit of weight, she used to be so slim. Yes, girl, out on the pants!

Wow Nicolette has put on quite a bit of weight - she used to be slim. Yes, girl put on the pants!

Is it just me, or does Kim Director appear to have freakishly long arms?

Clearly, Ms. Director is at some sort of "Horror" event (note the signs behind her) - and she's looking to be cast as "fashion horror." The MiniMe comment wins. Esp. b/c her feet look so teeny under those jeans!!!

As someone who has recently gone on a beach vacation and had the ocean waves attack me and dump a surprising amount of sand into my bikini bottoms, I can understand not wanting to enhance the 'gines region exfoliation by chafing further with pants. Cute (non-chafing) skirt or pareo would be preferable to nothing, however.

Can you have a discount version of Debi Mazar? Isn't that like hitting the final clearance rack at Wal-Mart?

interesting blog

maybe we're reaching a bit here . . .

I've gotta agree with Oceana: the Nicolette fug totally depends on context. It looks like she has a swimsuit under the shirt so if they're on holidays and going to or from the beach it seems okay.

on the other hand, it does look like she got caught out in public naked and he graciously gave her the top of his, um, outfit.

I forgive Edie, she looks like she was just on the beach with her beau (they're both wearing bathing suits if you ask me, she just has a nice big shirt over top of it which is better than Pamela Anderson's many bikini walks about West Hollywood).

I don't forgive Kim Director. If you wikipedia "Scroll-Down Fug" you get a picture of this. What's under that perfectly stylish dress? Who's really wearing those jeans? Look at her weird slanty slouch! I fully concur with the MiniMe comment! Kim definitely looks like she's being held up by Rose Nylund's date Dr. Jonathan Newman. I half expect Rue McClanahan to come into the photoshoot with a platter of hor'dourves saying "Shrimp?" or perhaps saying "Kim Director! You devil you! You were sore at me for inviting your friend without asking so you hired this guy to teach me a lesson!"

I'm friends with Kim's kid sister. That's her real last name. Perhaps everyone the world over will listen to my anti dresses+pants ministry.

It does work in one case, IMO: combine skinny jeans with cute but too short micro-mini skirt (about where a tunic would fall). I have a micro-mini sequined skirt that I bought after I lost 40 lbs, then I realized that I don't want to dress like Bai Ling, no matter how good my ass looks (it looks good, too).

Umm yeah totally thought it was Britney, but alas Nicolette is wearing shoes!

Who is Kim Director?

I first thought that marriage had really aged Brit Brit and K-Fed(who also seems to be rocking the hairband)yet cleaned them up nicely as well. Then I realized that it was, in actuality, Desperate Housewife Nicollette Sheridan(who technically isn't a housewife, merely desperate)with aging boytoy/actor/fiance. Nic's walking that fine line between casual and slutty,which in this case, can be determined by "location, location, location"-at the beach-appropriate-at the outdoor mall-just nasty. And as for Little Miss Director,and her jeans/dress combo, my family lived in New Jersey for 3 years(army brats)and at our high school,the dress code would not allow the girls to wear pants unless it was at least 20 degrees or less, and they had to be worn under a dress or skirt. If there was a sudden warming up to above freezing, they would make you remove the pants and put them in your locker.Maybe Miss Director has that William Shatner problem in that episode of Outer Limits, where he played an astronaut(Pre-Star Trek-original gangsta version)who went to another planet,got really really overheated(temperature wise, not just acting wise)hot,and when he returned to earth, he could NOT! get WARM!! He was SO!! COLD!! Or maybe she's just a silly moo who need to put those jeans in her locker.

What's up with Nicolette's forehead??

Great call on the Debi Mazar. I was staring at the picture (before reading the rest of the text) thinking "Who in the WORLD does this remind me of?" You girls brilliantly nailed it on the head. Discount Debi. HA!

Britney Spears - yeah, I thought so too. I had to stare and stare to try and see Nicolette in there. But yup, it is her. In that pic, though grainy and a little fuzzy, she looks GREAT for her age! Even though she sporting a linebacker neck, sort of.

Oh, man.....
If Nicolette "used to be slim", then is no hope for me. I wonder if I can get a booking at Sea World.....?

I also think the dress-over-jeans look can be done, and done well, but the key, IMHO, is slim jeans and a wrap dress. The Diane Von Furstenburg type thing over dark jeans with nice boots is a nice semi-dressy look. The dress ends up looking more like a long blazer.

I think this Kim person might have - if not looked nice exactly - but escaped the Fug Blog is her jeans fit properly. Looks like elephant skin.

okay, forget the outfit, I couldn't stop staring at her lips! how does she speak with those? they look like they hurt! those things could explode and hurt innocent children!

Sorry, bad call on Nicolette. Looks like a walk on the "beach boardwalk" with stops at the vendor stalls. Totally acceptable in S. Cali - your right coast is showing.

I totally agree with Janet (above). That's more than most people where on the beach where I'm from. She'd probably be wearing just a bikini if not with the shirt overtop and we pale people sometimes have to hide from the sun when even sunblock is useless and such a shirt is practical.

"Wow Nicolette has put on quite a bit of weight, she used to be so slim. Yes, girl, out on the pants!"
-rhyrhy you are a total fugging moron. she is still totally skinny. lame outfit choice, and i loathe flip-flops, but she is not fat.

And where I'M from we laugh rather heartily at people who stroll around in their bathing suits off the sand. Acceptable for teens and kiddies, maybe. Grown women in less than 100 degree heat? No, please. Fast-drying shorts are readily available. Put them to use.

Debbie Mazar2.0 is just taking Trinny Woodall (of the original What Not to Wear) a little too literally. Trinny's the only one in the world that is still wearing this questionable look that just screams 2001...

...and as for Nicollette, if they were anywhere else but LA, I'm sure she would have been arrested for indecent exposure.

I wasn't sure if the first picture was Britney, Pam Anderson, or Nicolette Sheridan. Glad to see I'm not alone. Though Nicolette Sheridan is really (really, really, beyond aspirational) skinny, that tunic makes her look a good 50 lbs bigger. And y'all are lying about her just needing some pants. If she were wearing, for instance, Gwen Stefani's leggings, you'd totally mock her. (Justifiably, I might add.)

And is it just me, or does Kim Director look like a combo of Chyna and Adrianne (sp?) from The Surreal Life? Better than looking like a combo of Verne Troyer and Da Brat, I guess.

FashMags/BlackIrish Your comments on parochial school wear are spot on. I too was forced into the twee plaid skirt/pants combo in subzero temps-no denim allowed, only pope-approved, nun-issued polyester slacks. I rocked that look in the 70's and refuse to acknowledge such an ill-advised trend, no matter what the combo. Now, excuse me, I have to retire into a corner and process grade-school flashbacks.....

A poor man's Debi Mazar fo sho.... with an nth of her fashion sense.

So, if I am reading the above comments correctly, it seems that Kim is a combination of at least three surreal life cast members (from the same season even) Chynna, Adrienne, and Mini Me Verne Troyer. Maybe she was trying to incorporate the whole house...

A poor man's Debi Mazar fo sho.... with an nth of her fashion sense.

As you can see....

"Drag Queens in Dress'n'Jeans" has a nice ring to it. She *does* look like Chyna from the neck up...

Whoa... she DOES have absurdly long arms!

Okay, the thing with Nicolette is that she does, mercifully, appear to be wearing blue bikini bottoms under the tunic-y thing, HOWEVER, methinks she lost the TOP to that bathing suit.

can one have a discount version of debi mazar? i thought she WAS the discount version.

I love the long shirt/dress over trousers look, but it works on nearly no one. Except Trinny from What Not to Wear. She nearly makes me abandon my belief that I would look horrible. But then I remember that I would. And I feel sad.

Nicolette is nakey. Ready for hanky panky. Skanky.

Kim: Business on top, party on the bottom. Some neo-clothes-mullet, perhaps?

Dress over pants is tricky, but it can be done. Not that dress over those jeans, though. And not with those shoes.
Perhaps Kim might be so kind as to loan her extraneous jeans to Nicollette? She'd still have those clunky shoes, but at least two problems would be solved.

If Nicolette is either coming from or going to the beach, then it's a topless one because it appears to me that she isn't wearing a bra or swimsuit top. Which would mean she's actually wearing:

a huge white see-through shirt
blue panties
matching blue K-Mart flip-flops.
On top of which, she's rocking that ratty Britney-hair and drunk-on-Redbull "What the FUCK???" Britney expression.
Add in the skanky-looking mancandy on her arm (didn't he play the villian in every episode of Miami Vice??), and girlfriend is looking NICE.

Class, people. This is why we aren't celebrities. We'll never hope to achieve these heights of taste and sophistication. You or I would probably wear...oh, I don't know... a SKIRT while taking an afternoon L.A. stroll. But not Nicolette.

what's wrong with nicolette's forehead? are those zits? or a peeling sunburn? or WARTS???

'Sorry, bad call on Nicolette. Looks like a walk on the "beach boardwalk" with stops at the vendor stalls. Totally acceptable in S. Cali - your right coast is showing."

My right coast? I don't have a right coast. I live in LA. And I still think she should put on a skirt if she wants to wander around what the photo caption described as "the streets of Palm Springs." Like I said, I don't even care if it's a nice skirt or anything. Just something.

The dress over pants look works in a casual environment. Trust me -- in Seattle we've refined the style down to a well-honed science. But formal wear over jeans never works. Ever.

Pixilated image! Sorry Mary Jane.

"making jokes about whether the person hadn't shaved in two weeks, or cracking wise about a waxing accident"

I got a case of deja vu to read my words quoted above.
But this hasn't happened before.
How weird.

Nicolette's forehead - she looks like she's just had an elephant's-worth of botox injected into it. B/f looks like he's had his forehead sliced with a scalpel to "share the pain"

Sweet.

Perhaps someone with far too much time on their hands and the photo pro softwear on their pc could do both ladies a favour and snip the jeans onto Nic's legs.
They'd both be unfuggable then.

I was so distracted by Kim Nobody's chin matching her V neck dress I almost missed my daily dose of witty Fug.

Very, very wrong. Woman, eat a steak and fill out the sides of your face... at the moment if you look down suddenly you're bound to puncture your chest with your chin.

Dress over pants isn't immediately dismissible. We just haven't seen it done right. Jeans must be worn flared and fitted through the knee. Dresses must be tight at the waist.
Don't shoot me, but I think this look would be terribly cute if worn with the jeans I described above.

Ah, but then again, I'm a bit of a fashion disaster myself.

Noelle: if she's not wearing a bra or swimsuit top then those are some very hardened implants

kim-whatever-her-name-is - you could bust up concrete with that chin.

If Nicolette is in Palm Springs, I (as someone who lives there) can testify to the fact that:
1. There are no beaches in the general vicinity - it is an inland desert here.
2. One should wear pants while walking around.

Of course, I am a girl who once got accused on the Tonight Show of not wearing pants (long story of being in the front row of the audience) so maybe I'm not allowed to comment?!?

Women over 40 should not be walking around in a public street wearing just a bikini, flip-flops, and a stupid Indian-shirt "coverup". It's just too teenybopper-on-Spring-Break-ish for a grownup.

More appropriate things to wear over your bathing suit once you leave the beach, proper: a pareo; a dress; a top and shorts; a top and pants.

I am a foe to the "dress and pants" in all but very rare cases. Kim Director is wearing a dress that should not be worn with pants, and pants that should not be worn with a dress, together. It's a triumph! The dress is too cocktaily and the wrong shape for pants; the pants are too big and baggy to be worn with a dress.

And her Debi Mazur nanobrows frighten me. A lot!

On kim's part, a waste of nice legs.. but perhaps varicose veins come into play here?

Just another voice on the dress over pants debate. I've seen it done well in Paris. Heck, I 've seen it done well in this week's issue of the Bliss Spa catalog. Ms. Director however, is an entirely different story....

Oh yes, and one more thing. Not so terrifically fond of the "I wanna bend it like old school Beckham" headband that Nicolette's amour is rocking....

"Women over 40 should not be walking around in a public street wearing just a bikini, flip-flops, and a stupid Indian-shirt "coverup". It's just too teenybopper-on-Spring-Break-ish for a grownup."

Heather and Jupiterpluvius - I could not have said it better myself.

I was born and bred in L.A. As such, I spent every summer on the beach and and many, many weekends in Palm Springs. Nicolette's attire is just not appropriate - at any age.

The girl needs to put some drawers on before going out for a stroll - unless she is on the stroll.

As for Kim Director - She reminds me of the time I snuck out on a date and hid my hoochie dress under my jeans and my CFM pumps in my purse - only she forgot to take the jeans and boots off.

And from my more clever than most husband, "Nicolette looks like she's wearing an abbreviated Polyphonic Spree outfit" Ha. HAHAHAHAHA!

How come no one has noticed Nicolette's B/F's headband? There has to be a more manly way to pull your hair back.
Even a skirt/wrap would have been acceptable alone than your boyfriends old work shirt.

Kim Nobody will remain that way until she can remember that denim does not work as a substitute for nylons. Maybe her midget friend thought if they snuck under the dress, Kim would appear taller and get more attention. Shouldn't have stood in front of the sign that says 'horror', but she probably can't tell the person on the bottom where to walk. How confusing!

Ick. If someone cut that bottom flappy skirt part off the dress, it might make an interesting top for the jeans. Otherwise, Ms. Director is misdirected.

Yeah, this stupid headbend on him, who does he think he is, David Beckhem?
But overall they look happy .... like people from a Cialis commercial.

Dorf called Ms. Director; he wants his fashion identity back.

As for Nicolette-- spent all my teen/early 20 weekends in Santa Cruz and Capitola. This particular look is only acceptable within 20 feet of your beach hangout. Gonna go grab a soda? Throw on the shirt. Time to shop? Throw on some bottoms as well.

The discount version of Debi Mazar? Because isn't that Fairuza Balk's job?

I need to go lie down now.

The 'scrolldown' strikes yet again.

This is one of the examples of unequal distribution of wealth.

Those jeans make Kim's lower legs look so short...

And Nicolette is wearing: one (1) necklace, one (1) oversized shirt, and one (1) black bikini bottom. Ta-dah. Her chosen outfit ensemble for a romp on the street.

Makes me want to carry a camera around wherever I go...

Hey, Pamela Anderson is an awsome person i love her!

Holy crap I thought it WAS Debi Mazar. Although I know that Debi wouldn't dress that craptastically.

I thought it was Britney too, and for a second was quite excited that she might be holding hands with Not-Cletus.
Women wearing dresses AND pants never fails to remind me of the strip poker games we played as pre-teens: us girls would dress ourselves in as many layers of clothing as possible so as to make the boys get naked.

C'mon,Nicolette! At least wear some surfer board shorts. Go to Roxy's website or something.

I, too, think the dress over pants can work. The problem with this outfit is the skirty part of the dress starts, what I figure, about mid-thigh. If the skirty part started more around the hips and the dress was more knee length, it could be great. This is assuming that I am figuring out her proportions correctly.

Everytime I look at the picture of Nicolette I still think it's Britney! Good for NS that she can pull off passing for a 20-something, but these days looking like Brit is not the best compliment you can give someone -- more like a fugliment!

The only way the dress-over-pants thing looks good is if one is wearing a salwar or pajamas. Seeing anything else reminds me of all the sad grotty tube rats one sees in London, pathetic, hopeless girls who have combined whatever jeans or warm-up pants they have with a "vintage" dress from mom's closet. I suppose they hope to look like all those girls from the Subcontinent who sell takeaway.

The thing is, a woman should make up her mind before she leaves the house - will I wear a dress, or will I wear pants. You shouldn't be running around loose if you can't aswer such a simple question.
