Fug Madness 2008: Charo, Round One

Chloe Sevigny should win this whole thing. Period. Not even a competition

I'm rooting for Phoebe Price to pull an upset.

I agree. I was going with P-squared because I temporarily forgot about Ms. High-Waisted Shorts, but really, no one does fug like Chloe.

Ugh, it was very hard not to let personal feelings interfere! I LOVE Chloe, and I just couldn't bring myself to vote for her. Grrr, I hate that she deserves to win this whole thing!

Gosh, I read you every day but there were so many Chloes missed, my brain is now sizzling! Thanks!

Thank you so much, Fug Ladies, for calling BS on pink sports memorabilia. The madness must end.

I feel like "It Takes Two" is Mary-Kate Olsen's greatest piece to date. And I unfortunately (or not) bought some of her cute boxers from Wal-Mart way back in the day. Thus, I feel compelled to vote for Diane Kruger.

I second Chloe winning! What is worse than her boobaliciousness? WHAT???

The Ashlee Simpon Book of Inauthentic Punk.

Simpon? Er... not to be picky girls, but I think you mean Simpson...

I really don't understand why there isn't a link to those God-forsaken high-waisted, pleated pants Jessica Simpson wore about a year ago. In my opinion, she has committed WAY more fashion crimes than even Chloe Sevigny!!

Thank you so much, Fug Ladies, for calling BS on pink sports memorabilia. The madness must end.

I have Chloe losing to Bai Ling in the 4th round.... ballsy I know.

yow. is it terrible that i don't know who pheobe price is? should i know her? and the fact that i only know her due to her whacked out fashion sense is what sealed the game for her in my eyes.

and, let's admit, in years to come, chloe may get her own bracket and replace charo.

but, i have to say that mary-kate's bohemien oddities seem to work for her--she's identified a niche and she's really stuck to it whereas diane kruger IS sevignyesque, truly, and doesn't seem to have a sense of fug unlike many we've seen.

What pushes it over the top for me to vote for Mary Kate? The roots. How is that someone with that much money can never manage a simple trip to the stylist for a touch-up?
I agree about Chloe though...she truly is the queen of fug.

after looking over that whole Chloe list I am in disbelief that she wasn't the #1 seed. Yeah we all hate leggings, but if there is an actual red carpet involved 3/4 of the time Lohan looks good...its just her stumbling around day-to-day stuff that's fug. But Chloe is full on fug all the time

I am going to get absolutely no work done at all until this is over, am I? Fabulous. All of it.

Chloe winning?! She doesn't even deserve her one-seed. Bai Ling FTW!

I'm in complete agreement with regards to pink sports-fan stuff. Ugh.

Chloe is a formidable fug. Fo sho.

I'm sorry, but there is NO competition with the fugness that is Chloe.

To me Phoebe is like Peldon- not a celebrity fugging it up to get attention while Jessica really thinks she looks good. It's so sad.

You know, I voted for Chloe but now I'm wishing had gone with Ms. Diaz. I mean Chloe's clothes are always crazy, but she always seems well put together somehow - she's precise. Diaz just looks like a mess.

The Brown Bunny is the ultimate Fug...

Oh, I can leave a comment? neat.

Chloe Sevigny FTW! (the dastardliness she performed on Vincent Gallo gives her the edge)

I want to see Chloe in the same room as Bai Ling. You know it would be the stuff of legend.

Chloe is the Duke University of the Fuggies. If she lost, it would be a huge upset.

The mitten-toe boots she wore would grant her a bracket, and everything else she's ever worn makes her the Empress of Fug. What kills me is she seems to be an intelligent woman - why the clothes, Chloe? Why?

I really love the recaps, its so easy to forget the fug of the past.. but they are very helpful when voting. I do have one complaint.. I can't get Alicia's camel toe out of my head.. GOSH!

I agree with KR -- Mary Kate Olson does her thing, like Bjork or Gwen Stefani or Cher. It's terrible, but it's HER, and normal fashion rules do not apply. Besides, some of that Diane Kruger stuff is just horrifying. And I paid good money to see "Wicker Park", for which punishment should be meted out.

In Pheobe vs. Jessica, it has to be Jess. I mean Pheobe's is fug with a purpose, even if it is a blurb in Us weekly, which is not in the true spirit of the fug.

Whatever votes I did, I just want to agree with you guys that pink sparkly football jerseys don't support anyone's team. Wear the right colours, or get out of the stands.

I only voted for Jessica because I'm nervous that if Phoebe won she would call in the papporazzi as she "accidently" just "happened" to be in front of her computer with gofugyourself on the screen in some "wonderful enemble" not posing or anything at all like that.

I hate to discount sienna miller - but my money's on chloe. every single one of those pictures made me want to scream.

Chloe tops them all.
P.S. Is it wrong to want to vote for MKO just because I want to see her crazy self over and over again on this site?
Of course, that would happen anyway... nevermind.

This who section (the Charo group) is a much more difficult section than the others.... Getting through this round shows much more fug-itude than other sections.

I agree that Chloe's heinous fugitude IS formidable, but one's chick's got her beat in this competition, and it isn't Bai Ling (although that wacky little sprite DEFinitely needs to be in the top three).

Mischa's gonna take the crown, you guys. Click on the link above and take a trip down her wretched sartorial path.

Remember the plaid diapers? PLAID DIAPERS, PEOPLE!

Sevigny over Diaz: Diaz gamely gives it her best, but Sevigny does all that AND inflicts a clothing line on the world.

Simpson over Price: For volume alone, and for inspiring one of my favorite GFY posts ever (where she is compared to an oompa-loompa, complete with the instantly classic line "Oompa-loompa, loompity-dee/Tanorexic famewhores are frightening to me.")

Keys over Longoria: In a lot of those pictures, Longoria is thisclose to looking halfway decent. In none of those pictures is Keys in the same ZIP code as halfway decent.

Olsen over Kruger: With Kruger, there is the fug, but there is also, not uncommonly, the Fab. Olsen just mostly looks like a semi-homeless waif-gamine.

My vote goes to Chloe, mostly because I'm dying to see a Chloe Sevigny vs. Bai Ling "Clash of the Fugtans."

If I was a betting woman, and I am, I am going to pick Chloe Sevigny to win it all even though I am on team Lindsay!

I'm going with Mary-Kate because she has such potential, and yet she always looks like she pulls her clothes, blindfolded, from the 25-cent rack at the thrift shop. Or a dumpster. Such a waste. And – as my mum would say – she could at least wear a smile. Can life as a pocket-sized millionaire really be *that* hard?

Anything that touches Vincent Gallo MUST be the fuggiest of them all, or else I don't know anything anymore.

I am sooooo gay for Chloe, but yeah, hands down.

So far it has been easy to choose between the fugstars on the list but I have to say the Phoebe Price vs. J-Simpson had me conflicted. Does the intentional fugliness by Phoebe disqualify her? I guess in the end I give Jessica sympathy points for having her little sister upstage her and having her ex find happiness before her.

Chloe wins. She's a loony toony.

I love that Chloe really OWNS that fugness. She doesn't apologize for her fug...she embraces it. She would probably be happy to win the Charro round. If you made a plaque...I am sure she would hang it in a place of honor, like above her fireplace mantel!

I'm just ecstatic over the unbelievably high percentage of precise grammar and accurate punctuation and spelling in this thread of comments. You people are not the norm. Thank you for giving me hope.

The thing about Chloe Sevigny, what sets her apart from the other fugtestants, is that she invents these contraptions herself. (I had typed "designs", and "clothes", and then thought better.) That cheeky trustafarian, she thinks she is the next Milla Jovovich! Now that's a match-up for the ages.

I say let Jessica win SOMETHING!

The Chloe/Cameron matchup is undeniably epic. Their fashion crimes are equally heinous. I feel the prize must go to Chloe, though, basically because this hot mess of a pale, limp blonde is constantly being held up as the fashionista of the decade, yet I can see absolutely no evidence as to why. This is a protest against every fashion rag that tells me this washed-out, mediocre starlette (diminutive intentional) is something to emulate.

Jessica's brain-dead fug to me is more worth a vote than Phoebe's desperate attention-grabbing fug, partly because desperation is a turn-off and partly because WHO THE HELL IS PHOEBE PRICE? Seriously. I cannot understand why the public is subjected to this woman as though she has actually done anything noteworthy. Not that anything Jessica has done is worthy, but at least she's NOTEworthy.

Alicia and Eva...that's a hard one. But I think it comes down to the fact that Alicia does less with more, while Eva simply does less with less. Frankly, doing less with less is what the rest of us non-famous people do. Alicia has more hot bod to work with, which she disappointingly squanders at every turn. Shame on you, Alicia! But you got the vote, yay!

Diane puts up a good fight (yeah, what the hell IS that thing??), but Mary-Kate manages to look not only consistently deranged, but consistently homeless. There is no reason why a bajillionaire like MK should look like she spends her nights at the Salvation Army shelter and shops at their donation warehouse during the day. And would it kill her to invest in a comb?

I voted for P-squared but I worry that we are all just egging her on to be even more publicly retina-searing (to quote our fair ladies). Not to bring us all down but is anyone else sad for how desperate she is for attention? She'll LOVE winning this competition. Sigh. I want to go shopping now.

I hated to do it, if for no other reason than no less a personage than Bob Dylan said about Alicia Keys "there is nothing about that woman that I don't like" He clearly wasn't looking at her clothes. I wanted to vote for Eva, but, you know? I just couldn't. Not with all of Alicia's sins on display. Sigh.

Chloe is the ultimate fug but an awesome actress.

"Disheveled hobo-sprite" makes me giggle every time I read it. MK takes the battle hands down.

The Olsen's need to square off...otherwise I have no faith in the viewer's ability to judge fugliness...

And I'll tell you what else: That "Modcloth.com" ad on the right-hand side of the page advertises some of THE fugliest wardrobial items ever. I have oft wondered if The Sev is behind it all.

Diane Kruger over MK for sure. Sloppy, dirty girl is MK's thing, you know? She consistently looks like she woke up on the floor of some dude's bathroom and it's her style. Points for having a steady style even if she stole the look from a dirty homeless man.

Alicia Keys is the worst dressed of all time. I dont understand having money and looking Fug most of the time.

I am 100% with you on the pastel jerseys. How are we supposed to know what team a girl is cheering for if all she wears is pink and powder blue?

Phoebe Price VS Jessica Simpson!!
Where is the contest??? Sorry but no.
Phoebe Price (whoever the hell she is ) is just bug-nutty and downright f-word bat@*!# crazy, therefore...Miss Simpson...take your trophy!!!
xoxo

I just can't get behind the Phoebe Price vote. She is "professionally" fug whereas J.Simp is an innocent babe in the woods who is naively fug- She honestly thinks she looks good. Isn't this all about the amateur sporting?

I just can't get behind the Phoebe Price vote. She is "professionally" fug whereas J.Simp is an innocent babe in the woods who is naively fug- She honestly thinks she looks good. Isn't this all about the amateur sporting?

It's so very unfair to poor Jessica Simpson to hit the most underrated fugalicious person on earth. I mean, most of the rest have some (Hmm, how do I put this politely? Oh, right. I'm at GFY. I don't have to!) TALENT. Jess, despite being better known for her lack of brains, actually has an impressive voice. And Alicia Keys has talent oozing out of every pore.

But Phoebe Price? What has she ever done? Other than dress poorly, that is. This is a (pardon this phrase) stacked bracket. Jess easily takes anyone in this bracket EXCEPT Phoebe and Chloe. Along with La Lohan vs. Ms. Peldon, this is the most unfair matchup of two titans in the whole bracket!

I have to go with Phoebe Price because she dresses that way for attention - ATTENTION - and then has the nerve to pose with pictures of herself in any mag that points out her fugish, attention whorish, stylings. The woman needs help. Let's honor so she can feel good about herself. Will she receive a trophy if she wins the title?

As for Keys, I just feel sorry for her womanly folds. As you fug ladies said before about Coco and her penchant for abusing said ladyparts, "WILL NO THINK OF THE LABIA".

I also have Bai Ling beating out Chloe in Round 4. But I had to ponder on that one awhile. I almost went into a fug-induced seizure.

I have Bai Ling winning the who she-bang.

Woops, that should be "whole" she-bang.

I had to vote for Chloe, because: 1) that infamous "sweat-shorts jumpsuit" - just typing that phrase makes me giggle! and 2) she always looks so smug and chinny, as one of the Fug girls noted.

With Mary-Kate vs. Diane, I voted for Mary-Kate because I read about her unsavory hygiene habits somewhere. She looks like a speedfreak to me. Diane Kruger might dress rather weirdly, but she doesn't look like a late 80's boho stripper-writer with a methamphetamine habit.

This must go to Chloe. I pray to the heavens that Phoebe Price doesn't win this one, because she doesn't need the press, even if it's bad press.

For me, it's all about intentional fugliness vs. bumbling, vapid stumbling into fug. J. Simp mostly stumbles -- she wears whatever her keepers shove her into and then stands there, mystified. Phoebles however, puts time and thought and scads of money into looking revolting. Same with Kruger v. MK. MK is intentionally creating the horror, Kruger stumbles into it occasionally while courageously exploring different looks -- sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Same for all the rest. My votes will go to intentional fuggery, much like murder is punished more severely than manslaughter...

I gotta give it Hobo Olsen. I mean, where would we be without having her to ridicule?

Chloe is my favorite to take the whole thing. Who makes clothes out of Anne of Green Gables' wallpaper, for god's sake?

Chloe, Chloe, Chloe. Alicia's outfits are appalling, but it appears that someone else is making those choices for her, because even when performing she is horribly dressed. So I give it to Chloe cuz she picks out her own clothes, though on the rare occasions where a stylist has helped her, she looks pretty good.

Eh, Simpon, Simpson... typos happen. I'll fix it.

"I really don't understand why there isn't a link to those God-forsaken high-waisted, pleated pants Jessica Simpson wore about a year ago. In my opinion, she has committed WAY more fashion crimes than even Chloe Sevigny!!"

We linked to the entire Jessica Simpson category -- that pic should be in there somewhere. Anyway, remember, you're not just voting on what we show you; these are just EXAMPLES.

Carry on!

I've only got Chloe going to round three. I may have to rethink that. I've got Bai Ling taking the Charo bracket and eventually winning the championship, though, and I am not budging on that prediction.

Re: Jessica Simpson

"[Her bigger crime, in our eyes? Wearing a pink Cowboys jersey instead of one in the actual team colors. We're jersey purists. Take your pastel, sparkly team shirts someplace else, merchandisers.]"

Oh, ladies, if I didn't already love you, that would have won me over. I thought I was the only jersey-purist left!

Chloe really does have a gift; it's almost unfair that anyone should have to be pitted against her. Really, it's like everyone else is competing for second. Yet, after some thought, I had to vote Cameron- because with Chloe, it's just so effortless- she has such a pure talent for fug; such a massive natural capacity for hideousness. But with Cameron- that girl really has to TRY to fug herself up- she must have put in hours of training to achieve that level of fug. I had to give to Cameron for the sheer effort involved- I mean think of all the years that her mother had to drop her off at the Fug Rink at 5 a.m. for all the fug training, all the money it must have cost- When Chloe was just born that way. You go, Cameron! Let all that hard work shine!

While Chloe's fashion choices are pretty disasterous at times she at least carried herself with a weird, artsy vibe. Phoebe Price and Bai Ling both just looks Bat Sh*t Crazy.

Hmm, some tough choices in this bracket.

Chloe is reliably fug, thinks she looks awesome, and now wants to pawn her fug off on unsuspecting buyers. Hands down Chloe. And brush your hair, damnit.

Jessica vs. Phoebe was very hard, since I despise Phoebe and think she is fugly inside and out and insists on showing up and random events she has no reason to be at just to show off her fug. Then there is Jessica, who sometimes shows up looking like a 2-bit hooker thinking she looks great. I kind of feel for her since she's pretty dumb, and maybe someone told her what she was wearing looked nice in a sarcastic way and she took them as being serious. Phoebe's got my vote. Shudder.

Alicia and Eva were also tough but the camel-toe inducing jumpsuits sealed the deal on that one for me.

Then there's the Olsen vs. Diane. Diane had some strange fashion choices there, but nobody fugs as bad as an Olsen. Mary-Kate typically looks like she drug herself out of a dumpster, and also found her wardrobe in said dumpster. Then has the audacity to come out with a fashion line? Or was that the other Trolsen? The hair, the makeup, the terrible clothing, and the poor attitude make her an all over fug. Brush your hair!

I dunno. I wonder if Chloe should be disqualified, because she's *trying* to look fug. Fug is her self-consciously & proudly adopted personal style. On the other hand, Psquared, for instance, seems to think she actually looks good. I'd argue that oblivion is an essential aspect of the fug factor.

In any case, curse you, fug girls for being so entertaining!! This is putting a serious dent in my productivity.

Jessica Simpson didn't get a fair chance ... having to go toe-to-toe with Phoebe Price in the first round! She deserves to go farther, but, alas, she's up against someone who just might win it all. I voted for J.S. anyway just because there's really no excuse for her. Unlike the others, whose fugness makes me chuckle with affection, she actually makes me angry. It might be her totally weird lips which I can't imagine are naturally turned inside-out like that. But if I'm being objective, Pheobe Price really is deserving of the victory. Darn it!

These are getting tough! In the end I went with P-squared over JSimp based not so much on the actual clothes (all of it must BURN) but her "sexy" pose that she whips out nearly every damn time. "Oo, look, her hand's on her hip, showing off her scrawny chicken bone arm. Ooo la la!" That and the fact that....what the hell does she DO, anyway, apart from get her picture taken? And the recent "Oh, I just happen to be holding this magazine so my photo is prominently displayed look I am sexy no?" ridiculousness.

JSimp is just...to be sneered at and forgotten. Maybe forced to you know, CLOSE HER MOUTH. P-squared needs a vicious, vicious fugging.

Chloe needs to win the entire competition and here's why: SHE IS A SMUGFUG! Totally fug, but thinks she's avante-garde. At least Bai Ling just wants to be sexy and quirky.

For example, I think if Bai Ling found out she won a fug bracket, she would be honestly surprised...and maybe a little saddened. I think Chloe would snort. She would not lapse in believing that her aesthetics are just too advanced for the average blogger or commentator. Not even for a second. SMUGFUG.

Oh also:
Price over Simpson: While I agree that JSimp has made some terribly poor choices, I feel I'd be a hypocrite if I voted for her: I own two pairs of shoes designed by her. *hangs head in shame*

Langoria over Keyes: the bathing suit. The bathing suit. Also....it's personal. As a Person of Small Size (ahem) myself, I really detest when small girls dress in "cute" things, or things that make them look more petite. Yuck. Some of her stupid little frilly things have made me challenge her to a boxing match--and let her win, just so she knows it's okay to be strong.

Olsen over Kruger: I disagree with many comments here that consistency of fug = unfugging. How's that possible? Her style consists of looking like she slept on the bathroom floor of Port Authority--and that she still smells like it. Her style is FUG. And, she's another one who is always trying to look small. I refer to more than just the eating disorder.

Poor Cameron, she didn't stand a chance against the fugtasticness of Chloe. I will give it to a fug icon (e.g. a woman who goes out of her way to advance world fugliness) over someone with just a poor stylist any day.

MKO is just skanky, more than fugly. She's taken fugly to the next level. Isn't there a celebrity warning system where red is MKO?? She's just gotta be one xanax away from living in a cardboard box. A swanky, glittery cardboard box, but a box nonetheless.

I have Peldon, Chloe, HBC and Gwen Stefani as the Final Four in my brackets. Talk about a fug deathmatch!

I have a friend who works at the Red Sox team store. His greatest pet peeve is the women who come in and can't decide between a pastel PINK garment-washed hat... or a pastel GREEN garment-washed hat. In exactly those words, by the way. If I tell him about your sentiments towards Ms. Simpson's pink jersey, he will probably want to marry you.

Jessica Simp v. P. Price, it all came down to boob versus crotch and we all know that crotch always trumps boob.

MK Olsen: homeless "chic" always wins.

Chloe Sev., c'mon that is such a no-brainer. Have I ever seen her looking decent? If I have I can not remember because her parade of fug has been seared into my brain. When I close my eyes, just as I am drifting of to sleep my mind wanders and on cruel evenings I see high waisted formal short and mary janes dancing. Yes, I scream in terror.

Alicia Keys, all I can say is pantsuit that shows way too much of the lady bits.

Say what you will about the Sevigny, but at least she doesn't throw on an Ed Hardy hat and whatever Rachel Zoe told her to wear. That's worth about four bazillion points in my book.

I've got Sevigny and HBC in the final, all the way.

PP deserves the win like no one else. As fug as Chloe Sevigny is, to me it has more to do with the fact that she has an unconventional taste in clothes. Even when the Sev looks good, she's still wearing something unusual. PP is a disaster of epic proportion. She never even looks good by accident!

I had to vote for DK over MK, purely on the shoe factor. Although I hate the dirty, hobo-ish, smeary eye-makeup look, at least the girl has some cute shoes. Whereas, DK's choice of shoes (see: Why do you want to be Chloe Sevingy?) with the silver tights has to be one of the worst things I've ever seen. Let alone paired with that dress. Bleccchhh....

I really didn't want to have to vote for Alicia because I truly love her, but those jumpsuits are unforgivable.

I just had to give Jessica Simpson a pass on fugliness. I mean, I think she's handicapped by the gi-nor-mous funbags - they sure pose a dressing challenge. Being a chick with semi-large funbags myself, I can sympathize. At least my dad doesn't comment about mine. Eww.

Chloe vs. Cameron Diaz? Really? That's like pairing Shaq against Mary-Kate on the basketball court. Chloe reigns fug supreme.

I can tell you guys have put a TON of work into this and I just want to say that you've done a great job!

You know, Chloe is Fug Royalty, but she still manages to fug it up with a hint of savvy and style.

Phoebe Price would dream to be Sevs. Seriously Phoebe Price is to Chloe Sevigny as K Mart is to Versace. She's a cheap knock off, but my pick for Ultimate Fug. The girl has got to win something.

I was torn between picking Mary-Kate Olson and Chloe, but then I remembered that only one of them has had to suck on sicko Vincent (I refuse to bathe for weeks on end) Gallo's schlong and on film no less!!, and that threw it to Chloe in a walk.

Phoebe Price all the way! The reigning queen of fug, for sure.

These excellent comments raise an interesting and, dare I say, profound, question about the decision making process in the fug brackets. Who is more worthy to be Fug Champion: a mistress of intentional and flagrant fug (Phoebe/MK), or a wayward lady of misguided poor taste (Cameron/Eva)? It's a tough call.

Pairing J simp with Phoebe was unfair!! Only ms price could have out fugged jessica in this bracket. Well her, and maybe chloe.

Seriously, after that stint for the new clothing line Chloe should be a shoe-in for the whole damn bracket!

I pick a show down between Bai Ling and Chloe Sevigny for the Title!!!!

Ah, much easier bracket that Bjork.

SEVIGNY V. DIAZ: Thank god my girl Cammie D, who I begrudingly admit has been slumming it lately, was up against the No. 1 seed! Gotta get Diaz and Zellweger together for a girls' day out trip to the makeup counter. After a certain age, foundation is your best friend.

SIMPSON V. PRICE: Nobody here can get past Sevigny to make it to the Final Four, but I secretly hope that Price could. She wants it so badly.

KEYS V. LONGORIA: What makes the difference here? Talent. Plenty v. Lack Of. It's one thing to be fugly because you don't have anything else to do. It's another to be blase about the fug to the detriment of your deserved career. Keys is making me *ill* with her outfits.

KRUGER V. OLSEN: While I love the large handbag trend, I blame everything wrong in fashion over the past 5 years on Olsen.

Your "twice, really" link doesn't work.

i feel like jessica simpson and pheobe price should both be seeded much higher. they are amazing.

@ enthralled.

"And I'll tell you what else: That "Modcloth.com" ad on the right-hand side of the page advertises some of THE fugliest wardrobial items ever."

Amen. I wanted to vote for that 80's ear short-sleeve, belted floral dress with the two-toned shoes in the last bracket, but couldn't figure out how.

I just wish this cursed contest came with tylenol and an ice pack. I feel so overwhelmed and my headaches. I think the girls should draw this contest out over a month or so because someone could seriously get hurt. I love Jesus and he loves me and I hope He will see me through the rest of this .

Geez ..... "era" instead of "ear"

I don't know why Chloe is doing this whole.. khm.. strange clothing choice thingy she does all the time. Maybe there is an explanation? Maybe she has some kind of desease? Maybe it's even contagious?! Who knows...

Ditto on the pastel sports jerseys. Only time I'll agree: when it's pink in support of breast cancer. But any other time...show some team spirit!

I was tempted to vote for Jessica Simpson because of her make-up more than anything else. I would give anything to have that kind of farm girl beauty, and she goes around fugging it up all the time with orange tanning and omg, her awful lipstick choices! If I were her, I'd wear mascara and nothing else. But even though she has clearly waded neck-deep in fug many a time, I think she also gets it right sometimes. Phoebe Price, on the other hand, might be 30 or she might be 60 and she dresses like a low end prostitute. Like, I mean, 12 steps below MK's mail order bride outfit. I don't care if she intends to be fugly or not, she wins the fugly contest hands down. But, seriously, somebody should talk to Jessica Simpson. It's not fair to waste that kind of beauty! Doesn't she have a mirror?

Chloe is the high priestess of fug. Alicia is a real contender, too. Phoebe Price is fugly to be sure, but she is only using her fug to get our attention. I take points off for that. That poor thing is destined to remain a wannabe with her face pressed up against the glass door of stardom while she rhythmically chants "Open . . open . . . open . . . . ."(remember the Mervyn's commmercials?)

Chloe is as tragically beautiful as her clothes are fug. Maybe she should just be naked all the time, which would undoubtedly raise her profile.

P-squared is terrible, for sure, but at least she looks like she's having fun. JS looks like a Real Doll relegated to the bargain bin on account of boob deformation.

Word on the pink sports jerseys. Either the wear the teams proper colors or stay home.

I dunno, you guys. I feel like Chloe OWNS her fug; she has committed her life to the fug. She's Mother Teresa, and fug is poor leprosy-stricken orphans. I just don't know if someone who's made the fug her life's calling can legitimately win this thing; I should think she'll almost have to suffer an upset at the hands of Bai Ling or - dark horse - Heidi Montag.

Chloe is the fuggest of them all. And in a boring way. At least Courtney P. is amusing.

There's a difference between Chloe and Bai Ling. Chloe fugs and thinks it's awesome. Bai Ling is fugging for attention. Bai is going down!

Chloe solidified her win of the whole thing with her new "collection" - collection of 90210 ispired fug.

NO CONTEST!

Chloe is the QUEEN of FUG!
Plain and simple and undisputed.
From creepy blow jobs to heroine addict roles, her range of fug is amazing.

Ashley, you are so right. Jessica is so pretty she should not be slathering on that much make up. What a waste.

"[Her bigger crime, in our eyes? Wearing a pink Cowboys jersey instead of one in the actual team colors. We're jersey purists. Take your pastel, sparkly team shirts someplace else, merchandisers.] "

Completely agreed.

P-2 vs non-mock-indie Simpson

I, and perhaps also everyone else in the UK, have not a clue who P-2 is. I mean who is she? What does this woman do. I've only seen her on GFY. Does she fug for a living. I do hope so she's fab - but so knowingly so. It hurts my eyes to see what she wears but she knows about it. Big Simpson (not metaphorically she's tiny apart from her knockers) just looks dazed and confused. Someone please give her a stylist - not El Field or we'll have a Lucy Liu vs Simpson cross-fug-category - but give the girl a little help. True she was technically on trend with high waisted sailor jeans but on anyone with hip it just doesn't work. And no-one but no-one needs to put that much collagen in their lips. Crikey.

Chloe - Cameron & Bai
Seems to be much debate about this isn't there. So nice to see so many of you guys thinking along the same lines. Since Diaz got shifted for Biel - although they do look awfully similar - she's lost her mojo and looks messy. Not in a MK quirky street urchin millionaire but just tired. So sad. Chloe is in another league. Yes she's a Bjork "I have my own style" kinda lady but some things should be left in the 80s and some things are in the back rack of charity shops for a reason. Not to be hiked up and over £200 for a shitty top. She wears her fug and sells it to us.

Now at least Bai and her multiple personalities don't do that. Oh god what have I suggested - a Bai Ling clothing range. How Fugulous.....

I just could not vote for that attention whore Phoebe Price. She doesn't need any more attention than she's desperately grabbing for already. Hopefully she'll just go away!

I refuse to give Phoebe Price the satisfaction of my vote.

P squared may have an "awareness" concerning her fug fashion choices, but somewhere in that head are neurons connecting in a way no other "starlet," let alone your average blog-reader, can fathom. Don't ask me to explain what I just wrote. I voted for Phoebe and I will again and again and again.

Chloe owns fug forever...Cause she thinks it's fabulous.

I almost gave up on my bracket when I realized that Chloe and Bai are in the same region. I mean, there is just no way to make that choice. I would have had them going head to head in the finals.

Speaking of J Simp, can I make a confession? I love her line of shoes, even though I often feel an odd compulsion to visit a truck stop while I'm wearing them.

I sincerely hope for a final of Chloe vs. M-K smackdown. They are the all-time ultimate fugliest classic fuggers who have ever fugged straight off the Fugboat from Fuglandia to fug up the Fugnited Fugs of Fugmerifug. And Canafug, seeing as I am currently in Canada and they are fugging up my life as well. The rest of this tournament is irrelevant, it is one of these two for the win.

This is a tough bracket. Cheap or clueless? Trying too hard or not trying at all? Sad to see some of this fug cast to the side.

See... jessica simpson HAS to win against Pheobe. I feel very strongly about this for a couple of reasons:
1. Jessica is oddly enough actually famous for like thinks people can identify and can therefore AFFORD a decent stylist
2. Pheobe Price is... who? Famous for looking atrocious and needs to use her bad taste to 'force' people to take her picture based on shock value.

There is no contest. Jessic clearly deserves to win - with all odds in her favor and no necessary reason to dress badly; she does Just That.

Oh poor Cameron, you had no chance in hell against Crazy Chloe!

I agree with Simpson over Price if only because she can't even wear her implants well.

it's terrible that J.Simp was pitted against Phoebe Price, because I absolutely would've voted for her if not for the overwhelming evidence against PP!
Heres hoping for better luck in her seating next year!

I agree--Chloe, hands down winner.

Oooooh, Chloe, Phoebe, MaryKate; between the NCAA & Fug, my life is complete & no work to be done in March!

LEAVE MARY-KATE ALONE!

also I truly think Jessica Simpson has the most appalling outfits of anyone in this bracket, because unlike P-money up there, she's like... REALLY serious. They're not see through gauze with flowers and rainbows, they're like... real, black or orange or whatever, designer dresses that she has managed to turn into the fugliest ensembles ever.

and everyone likes scarves, so again, keep mk out of this.

Who is a part of the 6% that voted for Cammie and not for Chloe???

You must be some big indy Sevigny fans...

What you said about the jerseys. Yeah, you.

And really, if I could lay money down in Vegas on Chloe, I'd bet the ranch.

I also voted for Diane over MK... because I actually really dig Mk's style (i.e. she pulls off the raggy hipster quite well), in the "she has too much money and designs clothes but you would never guess that" sort of way... ya know?

Plus when Diane goes bad... she really pulls out all the stops... which says to me that she's really just shooting in the dark for the outfits. hit or miss.

Who would vote AGAINST Chloe?

It's a long-shot, but Longoria-Parker over Keys. Come on, at least Alicia's jumpsuits looked like they were made in the 1970's and she used her fug time machine to pick them up. Plus, have you seen some of the crazy get-ups that Longoria-Parker wears to Spurs' basketball games that doesn't make it to the media? One time, she was wearing a pencil skirt that made her look huge because it was so tight. Did I mention it was a sickly pale green paired with a shirt reminiscent of if the Seinfeld puffy shirt mated with water weights (the things kids put on their arms when learning to swim) and a brown-gray fedora? What?! To a professional basketball game when the guy sitting a row in front of her was in a polo shirt and jeans.

Phoebe Price? I have a serious problem voting for PP. She is NOT a celebrity. She is not elegible for the prize of celebrity fug. No way! You cannot, in good conscience, vote for her. Don't do it!

So I am clearly in the minority here, but I have to make the case that Cam is totally fuglier than Chloe. Chloe is clearly TRYING to look weird (with much success, she is consistently, mesmerizingly odd), whereas Cameron seems to be trying to look good and usually comes out looking like a sloppy mess. Anybody feel me? At all?

Ugh.....never did I think I'd pick someone as being more fugly than Jessica Simpson. Really....

And then I realized Phoebe looked like Susan Lucci, Charo, and Steven Tyler had a cocaine induced threesome.

Ugh.

I know that MK and Kruger's fashion is technically bad... but I love both of their styles! Its crazy and wrong and bad, but I really think they both pull it off.

I'm not a fan of MK Olsen's fashion, but what really gets me is that ridiculous duck-face her and her twin pull all the time. What is with that? Every time I see a photo of them I feel uncontrollable rage..OK maybe I should get annoyed about something more important..

Is it just me, or does it look like Phoebe Price has three legs in that photo? Something is seriously off with either that dress or her gams! I'm hypnotized, it looks like at least one of them is independent from the rest of her body.

Is anyone else having trouble with the polls?

I never considered Eva Longoria to be a bad dresser until now. But Phoebe Price wins hands down. What is she even famous for?

And i can't believe people are voting Mary-Kate over Diane whats-er-face. I mean sure, Mary-Kate looks like a midget hobo but that shower curtain dress was BAD.

Seriously now.....who, and what, is Phoebe Price?

This round was EASY-Peasy~~~ it was obvious which ones had worked the hardest on their fug: the Sev, the incomparable PP, Ms Keys and whichever damn Olsen troll that is (sorry, I's scared of clowns)
Besides, Mum always taught me it's not nice to pick on the mentally-challenged, so Chestica gets a pass. I cannot stand to look at Longwhoria, so she loses by being fugly enough in the face to ignore the fugly outfits.

phoebe price would appear in a translucent sheath naked. she so deserves to win. though chloe sevigny's style is absolutely appalling as well! oh, this is tough. and yes im having trouble with the polls too

I pick Chloe and Mary Kate for at least the Final Four. They both bring the raging fug but in different ways. Chloe wears bizarre combinations with an unbearably smug attitude. She thinks she's being a fashion icon and she just looks dumb but she gets away with it because some magazine editors suck up to her. Mary Kate reminds me of that old TV show where the freaky little doll comes to life and pursues this woman around her apartment . . . Mary-Kate's little wizened face looks eerily shiny all the time, and then she has those big creepy eyes staring out from under all the hair and fabric. Ugh. I'm scaring myself now. Mustn't think about Mary Kate before I go to sleep.

I am appalled that people are voting for PP. Sure, she is hideous, but crowning her would only make her feel successful-- and encourage her to continue to delve into more hideousness.

The world doesn't need that. She's a fame-whore, pure and simple. What she does isn't fug. It's intentional publicity baiting. She will NEVER get my vote.

Chloe clearly has a shot at the title.

HA!

Still rolling around *crying* at this:

Who DOESN'T roll around in a crocheted hoodie scarf and nothing else? There's a reason that you can't spell "crochet" without "crotch."

I've *always* said that!

Phoebe must win, for the love of the hoodie scarf alone!

Y'know, I was totally primed to vote for Jessica Simpson on the basis of all the porny clothes and bad fake tans, but then I actually clicked through the link to refresh myself on Phoebe Price's crimes against fashion.

*scroll* Oh God.
*scroll* Oh GOD.
*scroll* Jesus Christ, NO!!!

I changed my vote. I need a drink now.

Maz, you appear to have stumbled upon the wrong website. This is GFY, not Chris Crocker's Youtube channel. I mean, I can see how it could have happened, both are pretty awesome and all, but asking us here bitches to leave a celebrity alone is as much of a faux pas as Nicky Hilton checking her Blackberry during whatever fashion show that was. Especially when said celebrity doesn't, you know, bathe. Or wear pants.

I'm gonna have to google this Phoebe Price.
I had to vote for Jessica because she's just so very sad.
PP looks like a crazy showgirl who got lost on the way to the stage.

Wow, this competition has induced much more fug-choosing anxiety than i could've ever imagined. LiLo Vs. Pelton did me in. I had to go get a snack to think and sort it all out in my head. Then came Chloe along with much reflection on what it means to be WORTHY of the title "Queen of Fug." Surely that person must be worthy of celebration? There is nothing about Peldon to celebrate.

On the other hand, Chloe is in a different league. It is true her usual pairings are hideous but she nearly pulls it off with shitloads of mysterious confidence. At times I too have scratched my head at her bemusings and almost thought, wait, am I perhaps the one that doesn't get it?

Watching her on 'Big Love' has helped tremendously as her character is stellar as a coy, cunning, member of a crazy utah, mormon-spin off cult, giving up the life from the "compound" to trade for a more "normal" life as a polygamist in suburbia. You can't watch this show and not give it up for the Chloe fugster. You soon realize this woman OWNS HER FUG in a most superhuman way. She CHOOSES her own fug and carries it with her into her job, and I would imagine, her personal life with her head held high.

Finally, she is usually void of fug by way of merely fugging up trends unlike most other fug celebrities out there. Isn't that worth something? The Queen of Fug should be DESERVING. ORIGINAL. and PROUD. Therefore, CHLOE QUEEN OF FUG FOREVA!!!

Could we organise a Fashion Jihad to be taken out against P squared? Chloe (how do you pronouce her surname?) will always win. Her fug is so pure, so powerful it may be the alternative power source we need to stop global warming. But it would have to be handled very carefully so not to contaminate sane dressing people.

How Cameron managed to look relaxed in that demented bridal frock is beyond me, but she can never outfug Chloe. Sevigny is on a whole different cornea damaging level of fug.

MKO is the reason my grandma walks around saying "Can't you afford clothes?" MKO can afford them. She just chooses not to exercise that option.

And Chloe? She's just odd.

ok maybe its a little early in the morning for me or i'm potentially insane, but i really do like marykate.... please stop picking on her! xxx

Chloe's purple eighties dress at the Golden Globes totally rocked. MK Olsen looks awful almost all the time. She got my vote just for bad hair/makeup alone.

Chloe somehow makes fug look . . . oddly wearable. I have to hand it to her, I nearly shelled out 200 bucks for a tee-shirt dress from her line the other day before my friend smacked some sense into me.

Whoever coined it (my beady, scroll-weary eyes can't find you!), it deserves repeating:

SMUGFUG. SMUGFUG will take the crown.

That is all.

Chloe should have her own bracket.

This bracket was tough.

What is Alicia Keys trying to hide? Her legs, her bum, what?

Eva, once a pageant girl always a pageant girl.

the simple fact that Chloe & MK are "fashion designers", while simultaneously being 2 of the biggest fug offenders out there, sealed the deal for me.

As for Phoebe Price, she's just a big, hot, exhibitionist mess of fug all the way around.

I'm sorry, J.Simp's shoe line should be enough for her to win hands down. Any woman who is willing to put her name on those monstrosities is clearly a fug-professional.

I predict a Peldon-Sevigny smackdown in the finals. And I don't know who's fuglier. Is anyone taking bets? I need a bookie.

I'm with you, Pia -- and that's one's going to be close, close, close.

I'm sure by now one of the famed London houses is taking bets on the outcome. You can bet on anything over there.

Although Phoebe Price might be the dark horse that takes it all. I looked her up on wireimage.com, and man, does that girl love her some thigh-high boots with a sundress. She might define fug.

my picks!

chloe: great actress, fugly fashion sense.

jessica: stop trying to squeeze yourself into sausage cases on the red carpet, it does NOT look good! had to vote for her over p squared, even though p squared lives in her fugliness.

alicia: love your music, fire your stylist.

mary-kate: girl, brush your damn hair every once in a while

hmmm, I'm having a hard time with this because people like Chloe, M-K and Helena Bonham Carter know what they are going for and achieve it consistently. Whether anyone else thinks they're cute is not their concern, and the world would be a dull place if they cleaned up their act.

Then there are people like Jessica Simpson or Carmen Diaz who are not going for fug but totally hitting it. These are the people who I want to see win this tournament! Because, to me, fug is all about the element of surprise.

You two (the fug girls, I mean) are truly funny.

Thank you!

Okay, these polls are closed, so the comments close too. But keep chatting it up in the other open threads! It's been great so far and we're having a blast reading them.

Cheers!
