(1) CHLOE SEVIGNY vs. (13) PHOEBE PRICE
Charo would probably be very proud of Phoebe Price. Not necessarily the fame-mongering, famous-for-being-fugly-and-that's-really-it part -- I mean, really, call us when YOU get a Geico commercial, Pheebs -- but rather for the part where Ms. Price teases up her hair and dresses like she popped out of a basket full of plastic grass at the Easter Bunny's bachelor party.

We suspect Phoebe dreams of discovering that she is Charo's long-lost daughter, much in the way Posh affectionately refers to Joan Collins as her real mother and Blair on Gossip Girl reimagines herself as Audrey Hepburn reborn. Still, we like to think any offspring of Charo's would rather shave her head and wear a muumuu than stand around desperately holding up magazines in which she is featured, trolling Robertson Boulevard day in and day out, and telling the paps to credit her as a "model" -- which I suppose she is here, of lingerie, although it's a job she accepted without it being offered.
Come to think of it, though, Chloe is no stranger to Charo-ism herself. Not only is there this shredded affront to the mighty zebra, but there's this:
Perky! We assume Courtney Peldon later bought this in a "Clothes Off Our Back" auction, benefiting some charity that will be very grateful indeed that someone besides Chloe wants to dress like a Vegas waitress AND has the budget to do so with damn near museum-quality accuracy. Chloe's fugtacular wardrobe was one of this Web site's first moments of head-exploding agony, the kind of thing we'd had percolating within and nowhere to write about it until GFY was born. Yet she's replete with recent moments of insanity, too, like how she wants you to fork over a lot of cash for the right to wear a bunch of stuff Candy Spelling tried to sell on eBay and couldn't. For someone the world wants us to think is an unerring fashion icon -- someone so ahead of her time that we just can't possibly hope to understand until two years from now -- that is shockingly bad form, Sevigny.
Oh god! I can't vote! They're both too horrific!
They're both horrible, but I'm voting for Chloe on the theory that she--as a supposed style icon--should know better.
i had to vote phoebe. there have been a handful of times that chloe has looked great and that will never ever happen with phoebe.
I sometimes think Chloe looks all right and I have a soft spot for that photo shoot she did once with Sassy magazine (you all remember, come on, you know you do) when she was an intern because I wanted her life back then. BUT, I have to say she owns fug in a way Pheebs can never hope to understand. Chloe gets points for being snotty about it and thinking the rest of us are ignoramuses. Pheebs loses just for desperation. And she's not famous enough.
I'm with Claire - I voted for Chloe because apparently fug is what she's going for, and the fashion world at large congratulates her for it? Baffling...
This, in my opinion, should be the championship round. It's tooooo hard!
It's the look on Chloe's face that cinched the vote. It's almost as though she's defying you to fug her. She knows how horrible she looks AND YET she's smiling, thinking that she's pulled the fug wool over our eyes... ugh.
The eternal fug debate... Is someone who is unknown, dressing to fug-heaven just to get attention, as fugly as someone who is doing it to be fashion forward or downright because they seriously believe they have a wonderful sense of style?
I, for one, and happy to vote for Chloe and kick out one of the attention fuggers (although, if this were Queen Peldon, I am not sure I could look the other way).
At least Phoebe never really attempts to pass herself off as anything but what she is. Which is...well, questionable, but she's making no claims to be "fashionable."
Chloe Sevigny, for far too long, has been referred to as a "fashion icon." To quote evilbeetgossip: "Chloe Sevigny Makes My Eyes Itch." Crown her Queen of Fug immediately, because we all know she's in it to win this entire thing.
Chloe, because she is actually trying to sell her brand of bad taste. (Your take on her new line of clothing, btw, was soooooooo funny. The retro Made for TV Movie titles - priceless!! (no pun)Thanks!)
Pheebs is a working girl, nuff said. u got my vote girlfriend.
Both so bad they're good, BUT: Chloe has DESIGNED her own fug, thus continuing and spreading her reign of fuggery. The Sev FTW!
I think Chloe looks like a dude in everything she wears.
I'm predicting it right now... a Posh and Chloe final two.
I have to vote Chloe only because she actually considers herself a designer as well . . . it's one thing to wear bad clothes, it's a whole other ball game when you try to convince others to buy them.
This is impossible! They are both world champion fuggers! I think I'm going to go with Phoebs because my first reaction is always just "NO". At least with Chloe, I laugh, and try to get it, and then say "NO".
There are no words to explain how truly fug Chloe is.
I think I must have a weak spot for PP- Ah, but Chloe!
Remembering Chloe's little starched doily hat clinched it for me. There is nothing worse.
If PP wins this, it will be the top item on her resume for YEARS, folks. It might be carved on her gravestone! STOP encouraging her!
Chloe is just fug -- she's a fug actress -- and don't forget those white sunglasses. She is the inspiration, and the real deal.
No. Nononononononono. I agree with whoever said this should be a championship round (though, without Bai Ling, the major contender is absent). This is too hard.
I had to go with Chloe. From her obvious self-regard and sullen attitude, to the turban (THE TURBAN, people!!) in her recent fashion shoot (though "fashion stab" or "fashion bludgeon" would be more appropriate) to "The Brown Bunny," she personifies a particularly unpleasant brand of fug. P-squared is just kind of sad, in that this is probably as famous as she's ever gonna get. The Sev is a frigging Oscar nominee, after all, and theoretically should know better.
... the toughest one, by far. This is getting more challenging. I feel like I'm going to hell if I can't decide on either...
I honestly think Chloe TRYS to be stylish...it seems Phoebe just slaps a bunch of sheer and pretty colors together...making sure to show some skin, of course.
Ah, the fugmanity! This was positively the most difficult decision yet. I went with Phoebe because Chloe has looked good 1% of the time, and Phoebe owes us all a lot of valuable moments. Who can ever forget the unforgiveable bare ass to the Cannes photogs?
this is too hard!
Chloe. That Little House-inspired getup with the leopard leggings underneath makes my head explode.
go with the chlo
This one is so hard!
On the one hand, Chloe is the founder of the feast, so to speak, without whom I would not have been able to joyfully waste countless hours on GFY.
On the other hand, Phoebe is just fugtastically bad in every way.
On yet another hand, doesn't voting for Phoebe sort of validate her insanity.
But then I think of how awesome a Phoebe/Bai Ling showdown could be...
It's Phebes, hands down and bottoms up and out.
Where, by the by is Britney S in the brackets? She seems to have missed the cut.
No one takes Phoebe seriously, including herself. She wears ridiculous things to get her picture taken. I cannot reward this behavior by voting for her.
Chloe not only take herself (way too) seriously, but so does the rest of the world. I cannot reward this behavior by not voting for her.
Thus, it is win/win. By voting for Chloe you get to stick it to her and Phoebe at the same time. Awesome.
This is hard...my head hurts now.
SWEET BEJESUS, MY EYES!!
*whew* Sorry, I was taken aback for a moment...
I still think Chloe takes the win for the unmitigated pretension that accompanies all her fug-trocities. I think Phoebe deliberately dresses tacky--why else would anyone pay attention to her? Chloe, on the other hand, thinks she is haute couture--far more heinous in my book.
I've been rooting for P-Squared since the beginning; I knew that girl "when". ("When" being long ago, but sadly not much different than she is today.) While Chloe is by far the Fugperior Fugstress of High Fuggery (GOD this must be exhausting for you ladies!), P-Squared is that certain player who could topple the almighty when given the chance...isn't she?
Chloe is just a goofball. But were you to look up "fug" in some dictionary (of neologisms, of course), Phoebe and Bai Ling would be the pictures illustrating the concept.
So - how people can vote Phoebe out is a mystery. It makes it very clear that this is not just about how the candidates look and dress, for sure!
I think the Sev is getting the edge here because I think she can probably afford a better grade of insanity than the Pheebs, plus the Pheebs just fugs it up because she needs you to look at her. The Sev wants to look like that.
Chloe gives me the creeps. Phoebe is just sad. What, is she like 60, with a good surgeon? This March Madness is the most attention she has ever had (and ever will). I gave her a nod because she probably never gets any. Wait, let me rephrase....
I don't care what Chloe puts on. The girl is F-U-G!
This is so hard. So, so hard. So much of Chloe's stuff is really, really ugly -- the shiny pink bloated-looking sweatshirt thing, the weirdass laced-up dress with the orange beads, the sweatshorts jumpsuit, the nasty shorts where she's talking with Vincent Gallo, and that horrible shiny green floral puffy-sleeved monstrosity. And she gets extra points for having the gall to SELL HER FUG to a deluded public. That said, I'm subtracting a few points because I would actually wear a few of those AS SEPARATES. Specifically, the blue plaid Trixie Lynn Bakerberry skirt and the Mother, May I Picnic With Danger? dress. Most of Phoebe's stuff is not really ugly, I must say, but it's hilariously tacky. Even Chloe's yellow "dress" above isn't as ho-tastic as the stuff Phoebe wears. She gets beacoup extra points for showing me so much of her ass and for being so damn convinced the world wants to see it. So I went with Phoebe. I predicted a Chloe win, though.
Ok, my head is going to explode from the sheer madness of it all, both are stylistically insane. But everything Pheobe touches turns to slut and that has to stand for something. I think she had my vote.
Sevigny all the way.
"Where, by the by is Britney S in the brackets? She seems to have missed the cut."
We noted in the intro post that we are choosing not to write about Britney at all right now. There's too much evidence that she's broken inside and it makes us uncomfortable.
I just cannot and will not support Phoebe Price's brand of celebrity. I feel that by advancing her further, I'm really only encouraging her to dress as hideously as possible in order to garner the little media attention she receives. If we as a fug community act to support more fugliness in the world...well, I think then we've all just descended into madness.
There's a broken link; the link text is "this shredded affront to the mighty zebra".
Although I agree that this was a hard round, I had no choice but to go with Chloe no matter how bad Phoebe seems to be. There are two words that by Chloe's association to them make her the reigning queen of fug: Vincent Gallo. It's hard to rub off that kind of fug.
This is making my head hurt, in a delightfully fun way. Phoebe is so shiny and embroidered and be-trimmed, but her clothes, somehow, still make you look at HER (not that that's a good thing, but...)isn't that what clothes are supposed to do? And she looks, at least, clean. And like she's having fun. Chloe's clothes, on the other hand, make you look at the clothes, and wonder where she bought the drugs. And she takes herself and her "fashion" so seriously, looking really pained by it all, while making me think she would smell of tuna and unwashed feet if you got too close. It's gotta be Chloe, partly because I want to see a Chloe v. Tara Reid showdown.
Ladies, seriously? This was a difficult task. I've never witnessed either of them in anything remotely attractive. Can we make it a tie, please? Move them both to the next round.
I chose Chloe, simply because she makes me ill. I cannot look at her without feeling vaguely sick. Phoebe, while tacky, is at least attractive from the neck up.
Other people may argue that the occasional Well-Played should count against them in this battle... but i see it the other way around. a few Well-Played tells me that they (in this case, Chloe.) DO in fact know how to leave their house not looking like a bucket of dead clowns (Aka Vincent Gallo...) threw up on them, then intentionally choose to dress like... well like Chloe Sevingy.
I voted for the Sev.
Ooooh, if Speidi happens to win the whole thing because they're "fug on the inside" I want to be there when you tell them!!!!!!
You know, I gotta give the upset to Phoebe. Because at least Chloe can act. Phoebe has nothing but fug going for her - she deserves this win.
Clearly, this is the best match-up of the tourney. As a consequence, it's painful to see either ousted from the competition, as this really would be a decent championship round. But as Ms. Sevigny MUST win, I had to vote for her.
God you don't ask the easy questions do ya. It took me 5 minutes to vote. I only chose Phoebe, because of the corset, and the longer fugistory.
What do they smoke before they choose outfits for these events? Seriously...they make prom outfits from 1988 look like haute couture.
Man, Chloe vs. Phoebe was HARD!! I finally went with PP, because Chloe HAS been known to show up somewhere looking decent, while I've never seen PP that she didn't look like Jem and the Holograms had a throw-down with the My Little Pony gang. Plus, PP is just always so crappin' PLEASED with herself, and WHY???? What has she given us??
Chloe introduced me to fug before fug even existed (or at least before I knew it was a legitimate concept that people recognized and referred to). So I'm afraid that no matter how crazy Phoebe Price sometimes looks, she cannot defeat the Original Fug, at least not in this reader's mind.

I mean, not only is Chloe one of the fuggliest chicks out there, she hooked up with Old Creepy Eyes himself, Vincent Gallo! Ugh, I just threw up in my mouth. She wins. Hands down.
Chloe's fugliness reigns supreme. The only reason I can think of why fashion editors call her a fashion icon is because her fugliness is so overwheming that their minds cannot compute it getting any fuglier than it already is and actually starts perceiving the extra fugly as going into Negative Fugly. You've got to have plenty Fugly Power to mess with people's minds like that.
This is soooo hard! But based on Chloe having her own fugly clothing line, I went with her.
Looking at Chloe's clothes makes me think I am an unerring fashion icon, and believe me, I am NOT.

Chloe all the way! If the clothes weren't enough (and they are), I'd vote for her just because she encourages Vincent Gallo and he is awfully hard on the eyes.
These two represent the classic fork-in-the-road: Phoebe represents the sunny, clear path and Chloe the dark one filled with granny-munching wolves. See, we KNOW Phoebe will fug no matter what. Clear and sunny, ya. She's consistent. Chloe varies. You never know what she's gonna throw at ya. Sometimes she does manage to pull it together then later pairs a floral bustier with leopard leggings and deigns to call it 'fashion'.
Chloe wins for me simply because she had the gall to call Charlize Theron's style 'tacky' in that Bazaar article. B*tch, please.
I can't vote for Phoebe Price; I don't want to encourage her anymore. The only reason that I know who she is is because of this site. Her, and people like her, are the reason we are approaching the end of civilisation. I don't wish to vote for that.
Chloe, however, just wears ugly clothes with a touch of pretension. I don't mind that so much, and in a way, sort of admire her dedication to it.
Tough choice, but in the end I had to go with Chloe, who runs the gamut from skeevy to frumpy. Phoebe only does pole dancer wannabe.
It's wrong they're tete-a-tete so early in the Madness. Indeed, they both are easily Final Four material. I must vote for PP though, who you feel for sure really digs her her outfit for some insane reason. Chloe occasionally looks smashing, and even when she doesn't, you get the sense she knows she's breaking a rule.
Phoebe wouldn't know a rule unless it could be injected into her lip in collagen form.
OK, I'm sick of PP. Who the hell is she? I'm voting for Chloe just because PP does not deserve further consideration, given the fact that she is NO ONE.

ooo - toughest one yet. but i refer back to the peldon debate - at least chloe is actually known for something other than fugliness. p2 loses on the basis of that alone for me... wanna be famous fug just doesn't cut it.
I honestly cannot decide. This is what's running through my mind: On one hand, Phoebe has not been in my consciousness as long as Chloe, so the first fug competition ought to go to Chloe. Maybe next year Pheebs. On the other, Phoebe is just so cheesily tacky and she does it knowingly. Like, wink wink "yeah, I know I'm showing off my thong, what of it?" On the other other hand, Chloe was in Brown Bunny with Mr. Fugs himself, Vincent Gallo. That's gotta count for something?
I think ultimately, I'm going to have to go with Chloe on this one. Again, maybe next year Pheebs.
P.S. Why the hell was Vincent Gallo not included in the fug competition???
This is the hardest decision yet. Aargh! PP may well outweigh the Sev in pure trashy fug-factor, but the overall context - Sevigny's self-styled status as avant-garde fashion icon - seems to point towards our talented BJ-er taking the International Criminal Court crown for fashion crimes against humanity. Because she is attempting to fug the world, not just herself. This is about responsibility for one's actions in the world, and how that reflects on the deep fug of the soul. I think I know what I have to do.
The "affront to the mighty zebra" is apparently still on your memory card...

Two words: BROWN BUNNY. So, sorry Phoebe, but until you porn out in the name of b-rated "art", your fug will always be second best to dirty Sev.
(Never even MIND the clothing - if that's what we're calling it - collection.)
The "affront to the mighty zebra" is apparently still on your memory card...
dude, this is impossible! two planets of fug divided against themselves, cannot stand.
I guess we should ask Saint Thomes Aquinas. how to analize the meaning of free will here? the Sev has shown true vocation for fug enhanced by a full commitment to fuggery, while Phoebe is a natural born disaster. and while Phoebe cannot but fug, the Sev eventually plays it well -and hence, the Sev CHOOSES to fug, while Phoebe merely exists. Ergo, is fuggery an atribute of the soul, or is it the outcome of fugly, mirror-impaired behavior and fugan will?
Haven't look at the results. Me and Aquinas, we vote for the Sev.
Is Phoebe Price 47? Seriously. Is she?
Sorry about the broken link up there in Sev -- just go to her archive page and scroll down and you shall see it. Typepad is wonky right now and isn't letting me fix it....
as someone upthread said: "If PP wins this, it will be the top item on her resume for YEARS, folks. It might be carved on her gravestone! STOP encouraging her!"
i think we should KEEP encouraging her! Phoebe brings nothing but insane delight, whilst Chloe makes me throw up a little bit in my mouth. PP FTW!
This WAS a hard one. But, as many other commentators pointed out, Chloe seems to think she's fashionable, while Phoebe obviously considers herself Peggy Bundy circa 2008. She's well aware of being fugly and not trying to hide it.
The Sev skeevs me out. I keep thinking that maybe deep down inside, her taste really IS that bad, and she's not just shooting for "ironic" every morning when she gets dressed. She always looks a little bit dirty to me, and not in a good way, like maybe she gets a couple days wear out of her undies by turning them inside out every morning.

Okay, Phoebe is clearly crazy and I've seen way more of her body than I ever wanted to, but it's Chloe's attitude that puts me over the edge. She is so smug in her fugness. She must be stopped!
don't get it twisted! Vote for nameless TJMaxx vixxen phoebe price! If we can get a Price- Hilton- Peldon-Ling smackdown, the kingdom of Fug can be defended by untalented reptilian sex workers.
Keep Sev out of the debate, she's lending credibility to the Fug with her talent.
Given her propensity for self-promotion - in whatever form it takes - I think Phoebe would actually be honored by being named the Fug Champion. But I always root for the underdog so I'm voiting for Chole. Admittedly, the term 'underdog' in Chole's fugdom is a bit of a misnomer, but still...
I desperately, desperately loathe the way Chloe Sevigny dresses. I am PERSONALLY OFFENDED by it.
I'm with Demondoll. The doily hat was the clincher for me. Nothing could possibly outfug the doily hat.
Phoebe Price deliberately clothes herself in fugliness, purely for attention. Chloe Sevigny deliberately clothes herself in fugliness because she sees herself as a style icon (*cough*) and actually thinks she looks good.
Both are grave offenses. But Sevigny's is worse.
I had to vote for Sevigny because her brand of fug so wants to be stylishly edgy but just ends up a giant hot mess. Plus her fug doesn't quite have that whiff of desperation that colors everything P2 does...
I don't even know who Phoebe Price is... I googled her and got a very short imdb page and a few other things but no wikipedia page. The wikipedia page is usually how I judge notability as a celebrity because if she was more important, someone would have made a page for her by now. Therefore, I deem her not worthy of being voted for in this competition.
At least Phoebe has that fabulous hair.
Ugh. I think Phoebe actually beats Chloe on full Phug, but I can't vote for her on the grounds that she would no doubt consider it encouragement. In her world, famous for being Phug is better than not being famous at all. I can't be complicit in that sort of thing.

I desperately, desperate loathe the way Chloe Sevigny dresses. I am PERSONALLY OFFENDED by it. She gets my vote.
I had to go with Chloe. While Phoebe is trash, she doesn't know and better; Chloe, on the other hand, has tons of fashion designers on hand, and possibly a fully functioning brain (in comparison to Phoebe). Tough call, though.
Chloe wins for her attitude; she is so smug in her fugness. She must be stopped!
Was on the fence about this one for quite a while, but ended up going with Chloe -- if for no better reason than to take Ms. Price out of her cherished spotlight.
I think Chloe deserves to win the whole thing solely on the fact that she designs that crap and spreads it around for other unsuspecting victims to wear!!!
Phoebe does not have a CLOTHING LINE! Chloe's fug is bad enough, but when one considers that she is attempting to influence impressionable young women to join her in her fug... that elevates her far, far above poor, pathetic Phoebe Price.
And I'm not even going to mention Vincent Gallo.
Oh shoot, I just did.
The actual fuggery itself is more or less equal, but the Sev is famous enough to hire people to take care of this for her. Phoebe probably isn't up to stylist-status, so I voted for Chloe.
Plus...Phoebe's a redhead. We redheads have to stick together...but could someone grab that and stick it back on Lindsay Lohan?
If only so that I don't have to look at the deranged P squared any more... I just can't handle her.

Very difficult indeed. Had to go with Chloe because she is hell-bent on foisting her fugly clothes on the innocent masses, thinking that she is doing them a favor. PP is just looking for a place to go...
I have to go with Chloe. Phoebe isn't pretending to be a fashion designer for god's sake.
Had to go with Chloe Because I refuse to acknowledge PP as any sort of celebrity. She'd be happy to win (and may be purposefully seeking the crown) simply to see her name mentioned somewhere. If we all ignore her maybe she will disappear...
I am in awe of The Sev.
Not only does Miss Sev dress badly, she blew Vincent Gallo. Nuff said.
Tough, tough bracket.
I mean, Phoebe Price has the whole "mutton dressed as really, really fugly lamb" thing going for her, not to mention the "who the fug are you?" thing.
But Chloe is both a consumer AND a purveyor of the fug. And that makes her fug's Typhoid Mary in my book. Decision: Chloe!
Ugh. I think Phoebe actually beats Chloe on full Phug, but I can't vote for her on the grounds that she would no doubt consider it encouragement. In her world, famous for being Phug is better than not being famous at all. I can't be complicit in that sort of thing.
This one is so, so hard. i've been rooting for PSquared all along, but does she have her own line of fug for others to buy? No! Just some candley weird things. She SHOULD have her own line of fug - right after I buy stock in the makers of sheer fabric.... The Sev's been here all along, inspiring us all. PSquared, once kept secret, has known us far too short a time - and yet, I'm pretty sure has scarred us all irrevocably......
Oh well. Whoever wins, we know the other is going to continue in her mad fuggery anyway. We at least have that to look forward to.
Somehow and Mrs O- you helped me to decide (this one was HAAAARRRRRDDD)fug is fug- but trying to sell us fug? Please. Really hate to lose Phebes, but gotta go for Chloe.
And, James? A bucket of dead clowns? There is a special place for you in heaven for that one.
Man, that was a tough one. I voted for PP because the Sev at least has fashion industry cred... but I should have gone with the hard facts. Lesson learned!
I had to vote for Chloe if only because I feel that desparate fug is slightly less offensive than smug fug.
Man, that was a tough one. I voted for PP because the Sev at least has fashion industry cred... but I should have gone with the hard facts. Lesson learned!
Even sadder for Phoebe, in that picture where she's highlighting herself in a magazine, is that you can see the one photographer's reflection in the window of the store - and NO ONE ELSE IS THERE.
I'll wager $10 that that guy taking the pic isn't really a papparazzi, but some friend of hers. Or maybe a sad, lonely man she's stringing along, that she gets to come take her photo and post it on the nets, and blog about her, and run her fan site that has two members (her and this guy), and maybe pester Perez Hilton about her, or what all. Poor man. I feel so sad for him. Now I hate Phoebe for being such a tease!

I had to vote for Chloe because she's so humorless about everything. She usually looks like she's sucking on a lemon after swallowing a fly while posing in her fugly 'ahead of their time' garments. At least Phoebe smiles and is fairly innocuous.

I happen to love Chole Sevigny, even when she makes horrific awful fashion mistakes, so I must vote for Phoebe.
Emmie:
"No one takes Phoebe seriously, including herself. She wears ridiculous things to get her picture taken. I cannot reward this behavior by voting for her."
I can! I truly appreciate the bizarre... art of what she does with her... clothing. Phoebe will never let me down.
Heather:
"We noted in the intro post that we are choosing not to write about Britney at all right now. There's too much evidence that she's broken inside and it makes us uncomfortable."
It was a really good call.
The comment above cracks me up.
I had to go with Chloe, for the pure and simple fact that SHE SHOULD KNOW BETTER. I don't care how much pity you have for Donna Martin, C-money. Dressing like her now isn't going to make up for the fact that she almost got expelled for getting drunk at the prom. Will someone PLEASE think of the children??
Just a quick thought to say that I admire your decision not to talk about Britney, H & J. I know it's supposed to be a big secret and all, but I personally admire the integrity that you've obvious got lurking deep in the gloriously snarky tar pits of your hearts.
The comment above cracks me up.
Just wearing a bunch of see through dresses and displaying your butt crack shouldn't be considered original or fug fashion forward. Therefore I cannot vote for Phoebe - too boring and uninspiring (also I have no clue who she is)
Chloe on the other hand is the epitamy of "the emperor has no clothes" and should be called on it
Somehow and Mrs O- you helped me to decide (this one was HAAAARRRRRDDD)fug is fug- but trying to sell us fug? Please. Really hate to lose Phebes, but gotta go for Chloe.
And, James? A bucket of dead clowns? There is a special place for you in heaven for that one.
Phoebe is to Chloe as My Pretty Pony is to the dead livestock art of Damien Hurst.
Both of these aesthetics are fascinating, but Arrogantly Fugly wins the day.
Sweet baby Jesus, Chloe's dress is fug. The poor people who had to see that thing in person. But it does show her range of fug from barely-contained boobs, to buttoned-up and frumpy. That takes serious fug skill. That alone would get my vote, but it's the smugness about her style that really clinches it.
Wow, this one was really, really hard! I actually Googled both and rated the first 10 images that popped up. Phoebe won hands down. She NEVER wears anything that resembles actual clothes. I'll have nightmares about it tonight.
I voted for PP. She's a joke.
Anyone who puts their name on that "fashion" line truly deserves the title Queen of Fug.
Has anyone else noticed that PP's expression is EXACTLY the same in every photo, no matter what she's wearing? It's like having a paper doll with a wardrobe designed by a 5 year old.
(But I had to go with Sev in the end because of that ridiculous "line" of clothing.)
I think I'm going to have nightmares if The Sev doesn't take it all...
This one was nearly impossible... but gods help me, I'm actually commenting in defense of Charo. You implied that she and P-squared are both fame-mongering, talentless insane dressers. Charo's really a rather talented insane dresser -- the ol' singer/dancer/comedienne thing aside, she's actually a very well-regarded classical/flamenco guitarist.
I'm not sure why I care... but hey.
Sev BY A MILE. She personifies the FUG!!! Did anyone ever see a spoof on Imitation of Christ on Fashion Television w/Jeanne Beker called, "Imitation of Imitation of Christ?" It is genius. And La Sev IS SO NOT. She is the Fuggliest!
Tacky and fugly are not the same thing. (This is like the difference between arts and crafts.) Phoebe is Queen of Tacky; she would wear rhinestones and sequins and things you can bejewel on your deluded self. She is 'crafts.' On the other hand, Chloe masquerades as 'art.' And attempts to convince the rest of us that we are bourgeois idiots for not understanding her STYLE and her SUPERIOR FASHION SENSE just because we don't want to look like Laura Ashley on crack. Therefore, she is the queen of Fug. Fug is an art. And she's ARTY, that Chloe. Terrifying, but arty.
have y'all seen the pheobe fug page? she obviously has an inherent desire to prance around in her underwear which she modestly tries to hide by wearing sheer bedroom cover-ups. now how can we as fashion conscious people allow this poor woman to suffer any longer?
I'm joining the ranks of the exploded-heads. I realize that I am voting for people for mutually exclusive reasons. Peldon's fug reigns supreme because she's a nothing-fame-whore who dresses to get attention. But the same thing applies to P2. Yet Peldon somehow seems to have an innocent candy-colored heart, while P-squared's soul seems to have been completely wrung dry of all semblance of humanity. Helena Bonham Carter dresses hideously, but she follows her own inner style and is apparently happy. And this could be said of Chloe, too. Yet though I blame La Sev for forcing ugliness upon us with steely determination, I can't hold that against HBC in the same way. Does it all come down to personality?
Well, I tried to post this already, but it didn't go through. Your decision not to include Ms. Spears speaks to your integrity, ladies, no matter how much you try to bury it in the glorious tar pits of your delightfully snarky hearts. It's why I love you.
Okay, here's how I parse the fine difference between these two charming women. Tacky and fugly are not the same thing: there's a difference between the two akin to the difference between 'arts' and 'crafts.' Phoebe is Queen of Tacky; she would wear rhinestones and sequins and things you can bejewel on your deluded self. She is 'crafts.' On the other hand, Chloe masquerades as 'art.'

I had to resort to Googling them both and rating the first 10 images that popped up. Phoebe won hands down for not wearing anything that resembled an actual outfit. I swear she'd be more comfortable walking around naked.
Chloe, because Phoebe is seeking attention and nothing more. Chloe is so annoying and pretentious and always looks like an idiot, plus she has access to some of the best designers in the world and Phoebe...um...doesn't
Peldon vs. Price is a real contest, their fug styles are somehow similar. Chloe probably started from who-cares-I'll-wear-it mixing of second-hand clothes and ended up where she is now: Oz of fugly. She seems quirky and crazy, but not trash. If really pressed to choose, I wouldn't be caught DEAD in what Price/Peldon wear. Ever. It's pure trash. It's a choice between bad style and no style. I guess no style is worse.
Chloe for the win! *waves homemade imaginary banner*
Phoebe is fug, but lacks the fugly imagination of the Sev.
Sooo hard. I decided to solve this by rolling a die... but then I had to decide which of the two would be "odd"!
Just looking at Phoebe Price makes me want to yak. Maybe if I paraded my talentless ass around hollywood and sought the fashion advice of disney-inspired gypsies, I too could make the cover of choice celebrity hair magazines.
I'm voting P.P. partially because I want her to take this whole thing, then I hope she goes around telling all the paps that she was Go Fug Yourself's fug madness winner for 2008, just like she was doing for being voted "Hot Babe (actually slut) of the Year" over at Dlisted.
Vote for Phoebe, she may give GFY a shout-out!
I was tempted to vote for Phoebe, since everything she wears screams desperation. I thought, at least Chloe doesn't walk around naked in public.... and then I saw the picture above. You win, Chloe.
Chloe gives me the creeps, while PP just makes me kinda sad. I bet she doesn't even know she's a champion Fug model -- who will tell her? A supermarket checkout girl? The manicurist? The Botoxer? She'll be shocked that people make fun of her. Kinda makes me feel sorry for the old bag. She's gotta be pushing 60, right? Who's her surgeon? You could open bottles with those cheekbones.
I can't erase the memory of Chloe wearing white jean shorts and black clogs at some kind of high profile event. I don't know if that actually happened or if the government implanted that memory as some kind of torture experiment but nonetheless, you can't rule out that it really happened, and that's why Chloe "wins" here.
Chloe looks lovely every now and then. Phoebe, however,...........
Sev BY A MILE. She personifies the FUG!!! A few "Well Playeds" do not erase her devostion to fug.
Did anyone ever see a spoof on Imitation of Christ on Fashion Television w/Jeanne Beker called, "Imitation of Imitation of Christ?" It is genius. And La Sev IS SO NOT. She is the Fuggliest! The Empress of New Clothes!
The Smug: The Fug
The Sev. It's her face, really. The incomprehensibly self-satisfied look forever seated atop the most hideous tasteless clothes that just looking at them might give you leprosy and jaundice.
She is taking it all the way, no doubt. Are they taking bets on this thing at Intrade btw. Who else stands the ghost of a chance?
"Easter Bunny's bachelor party."
BAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
and i voted for chloe. Though, I think i shouldve voted for Phoebes. Its a tough one.
ooo so hard to choose but I'm going to have to go for Chloe because she really should know better. [WHY did you have to make those white-rimmed sunglasses popular again, why???]
I had to vote for Chloe as well because at least Phoebe looks happy most of the time and not superior.
ooo so hard to choose but I'm going to have to go for Chloe because she really should know better. [WHY did you have to make those white-rimmed sunglasses popular again, why???]
Although Phoebe has both the "mutton dressed as extraordinarily fugly lamb" and the "who the fug are you?" thing going for her, I had to vote Chloe.
Because she's not only a consumer of the fug--she's a PURVEYOR of the fug!
Peldon vs. Price is a real contest, their fug styles are somehow similar. Chloe probably started from who-cares-I'll-wear-it mixing of second-hand clothes and ended up where she is now: Oz of fugly. She seems quirky and crazy, but not trash. If really pressed to choose, I wouldn't be caught DEAD in what Price/Peldon wear. Ever. It's pure trash. It's a choice between bad style and no style.

Seriously...I just walked up Robertson to the Starbucks on the corner of Beverly, and lo - who did I see? - but Ms. Price chatting up the paps. In all white. Holding a lap dog. Watch for the photos....
ok, this is like choosing between horrific and awful. i had to hand it to chloe however since she is actually trying to sell these clothes to other people and spread the fug. to me, that gives her the edge.
Both are equally fugalicious, but since Chloe at least contributes to the world with some good acting, Phoebe has never seemed to contribute much beyond showing us too much of her ass. And that type of contribution, no one requested.
Didn't everybody make the "misunderstood eclectic artist" excuses for Daniel Day Lewis and Helena Bonham Carter? Doesn't Chloe get some of that love? No? Really? No? Because smug and snotty as she always seems, she's always pretty good at her work. She's just well, well, she's wearing a bikini top with a bubble skirt that looks like she dropped her soup on it. Now, some might say that's fugly, but we're selling Pheebs short here, friends. Doesn't utterly talent-free and taste-free trump merely taste-free?
You'll get 'em nest Pheebs. Stay strong. Keep in training.
Chloe is an evil carcass.
Ergo, she should win, fugs-down.
Nevertheless, it does bring me such glee to look at the St. Phoebe's Day photo, with the window reflecting only one sad photographer's image, and speculate that the Lone Photographer could very well be Phoebe's mother.
This one was really difficult...
In the end, I went with Chloe because, I can't help but think that Pheebs is somewhere out there, reading this and coming up with even more ways to guarantee fug. It's what she wants, what she strives for, what she LIVES for. She's out there willing everyone of us to vote for so that she can, just once, be famous for something OTHER than telling us how famous she is.
Chloe, on the other hand, thinks she's above fug. Well let me tell you something, Sevs. NO ONE is above fug. Especially not you; what, with your 18" rise Mom Jeans and Little House on the Prairie shirt, tucked in.
SO much yellow...must look away...
Both are equally fugtrocious, but Chloe at least contributes to the world with some decent acting, and creating jobs for garment makers through her clothing line. Phoebe on the other hand has never seemed to contribute much beyond showing us too much of her ass, a contribution,may I add,that no one requested. Chloe is authentic fug.
Chloe has more range to her fug than does Phoebe, who is very one-note with the colorful sheer things. Chloe's fug requires a certain inventive genius.
dear god. it's too hard! i voted for the sev - but...i mean really, this is like felicity choosing between ben and noel. i was so so torn. (off to chop off all my hair now)
I wanted to vote for Phoebe so badly, But, the fact that she would actually be proud to win this made me vote for Chloe. God knows, Chloe is worthy of my vote. And, anyone who can smile that little girl cutie-pie smile while dressed like an escapee from a circus Hoochie-Coochie dance line as she does in that yellow monstrosity like Chloe... well, she's just an insane fug.
Man, that was a tough one. I voted for PP because the Sev at least has fashion industry cred... but I should have gone with the hard facts. Lesson learned!
I had to vote for Chloe. Pheebs goes for shock value. She wants to end up on the worst dressed lists just for the attention. But Chloe actually thinks she's lookin' good.
This one was really difficult...
In the end, I went with Chloe because, I can't help but think that Pheebs is somewhere out there, reading this and coming up with even more ways to guarantee fug.

Oh, and me too on the whole being-there-when-someone-finally-tells-Speidi-to-their-face-that-they're-fugly-on-the-inside thing!

This is the hardest choice yet - they are both hurting my eyes (particuarly at 6 am!!) In the end it was between the two pictures on hand so Chloe it is. While Phoebe could possibly pass as a more exposed version of the fairy doll i had when i was little (you pulled her string and she flew into the air...hmmm more similarities than i originally thought) with Chloe...I dont have words to describe that.
Wow, Phoebe's archive is NSFW!!! You should definitely give a warning.
That said, I am still so upset that Chloe is considered a style icon (her mug is all over the Bazaar style book, which I clearly should not have spent my hard-earned money on) that I will continue to vote for her until... well, until the next round when she comes up against Bai Ling. THAT, my friends, will be the real fugpionship of the century.
Chloe Sevigny beats everyone in a Fug Battle, hands down. Yes, everyone.
This'll be fun! *rubs hands, dives in*
As much as Phoebe Price annoys me, I get the feeling that even if she's dressing like this, it's because she's desperate to get attention. Chloe, on the other hand, already has the fame without the crappy outfits, and not only apparently thinks said outfits look good, she's also a bit of a snob about it and, as you girls have quoted her on before, declared she thought Charlize Theron was tacky (not that Theron is a style icon either, but she dresses better than Sevigny most of the time, in my opinion). So Chloe earns my vote.
Chloe can at least pull off some of her outragious outfits.. but Pheobe? She's just a disaster, and she gets my vote!
I have to vote for Chloe just because she's crazy enough to think other people want to dress like her.
I had to vote for Chloe because she's so humorless about everything. She usually looks like she's sucking on a lemon after swallowing a fly while posing in her fugly 'ahead of their time' garments. That photo above is the first time I think I've seen her smile.
At least Phoebe smiles and is fairly innocuous.
I voted for Chloe because she's a Srs Ahteeste. She has a unique measure of pretention mixed with fug, with dollops of sweatshorts jumpsuits, high-waisted pants and skirts, topped off with a Vincent Gallo. YEESH.
Meanwhile, I must point out that Feebs is making a common and fugly sandal mistake in that photo: wearing sandals for which her toes are too long, so said toes hang over the edge of the sole. That has to be uncomfortable. No, you can't get away with a size smaller just because you're wearing sandals. Really.
I'm voting Chloe because if Phoebe wins it all, she'll totally brag about it to the paps, only she'll twist the phrasing of the win around.
See: Winning DListed's Hot Slut of the Year 2007 and insisting on referring to it as "Hot Babe of the Year".
don't think facial features should be a part of this discussion. It's tacky, and it makes YOU look sad. Vote for anyone whose clothes you really hate. Vote for Chloe because she's pretentious. Vote for PP because she's pathetic-but-not-apparently-crazy. Vote for Joss because hippiedom is so done. Vote for Posh because. Vote for Zellweger's hair. Vote for DDL because he has a functioning brain and should know better. Vote for ScarJo because you love breasts and hate to see them in pain.
Vote, that is, for bad decisions.
I'm not saying people shouldn't talk about duck lips, tacky extensions or scary tans. Those are choices. But if you have a problem with some average-looking person's face, keep it to yourself. (And if you have a problem with a damaged person's face, SERIOUSLY keep it to yourself, you heartless freak.) Even on the off-chance that you are actually a supermodel and not some greasy 44-year-old writing from his parent's basement, ad hominem attacks just aren't cool.
Yeah. Phoebe's outfits are more "Viva! Las Vegas!" That's bad, but not as bad as Chloe SULK Sevigny. She's just one sad sack dresser, and I personally can't stand anything she wears. So yeah. Phoebe's kind of endearing in a weird sort of way.
Peldon vs. Price is a real contest, their fug styles are somehow similar. Chloe probably started from who-cares-I'll-wear-it mixing of second-hand clothes and ended up where she is now: Oz of fugly. She seems quirky and crazy, but not trash. If really pressed to choose, I wouldn't be caught DEAD in what Price/Peldon wear. Ever. It's pure trash. It's a choice between bad style and no style.

Dear...God...I'm paralyzed. (Visually, and mentally, that is.)
I have to choose between the high priestess of Fugsterism and P-Squared? I have to select between a woman of no taste and...another woman of no taste...
I know, that's the point, but...but...
Well, I ultimately selected Cloe.
A woman with acting chops and a steady career should be able to afford a stylist.
I wanted double P to go all the way but she does not and cannot compete with the fug force that is Chloe. I'm sorry P. Price that your run has come to an end. The fug force is strong with you though and you will be back. I'm counting on it.
Chloe may be the winner of it all for me, just because of that GOD AWFUL clothing line. Phoebe's clothes are awful, but she's the only one wearing them. Chloe is foisting her fug on the world! The flowered jumpsuit thing? Holy mother of god, WHY are they allowing her to send that out in the fashion world??
Aw the Zebra link didn't work for me. I might have made an ill-informed fug decision!!
I can no longer look at pictures of Chloe without thinking of her as "Chloe 'F*ck Your Umlaut' Sevigny," thankyouverymuch Fuggers, so I gotta go with the Sefugny. But this one was hard. I wish it had been the final round deathmatch smackdown.
Nobody beats the Sev...NOBODY!

Chloe all the way. I might say Phoebe, but something about Chloe makes me want to kick something small and cute. Plus Phoebe is a redhead, and i have an Ariel complex.
This was a really tough call...
Both of these ladies are infamous for their fug...
But my vote had to go for Chloe. She is the queen of fug! She might possibly be the origin of fug. And that outfit is just... surreal. So was Phoebe's... but Chloe, Chloe, Chloe!
What drives me nuts is that these women, who are absolutely lovely women, dress as though they were blind and had a frenemy pick the clothing... and then didn't get a second opinion. I vote Chloe because one - I'm still not sure who the other woman is, and two - no one should voluntarily bring back the 90210 cast look..EVER! ( Not even if they are being paid to do it.)
P.S. I love this site so much!!! You ladies rock my world.
This is the hardest choice yet - they are both hurting my eyes (particuarly at 6 am!!) In the end it was between the two pictures on hand so Chloe it is. While Phoebe could possibly pass as a more exposed version of the fairy doll i had when i was little (you pulled her string and she flew into the air...hmmm more similarities than i originally thought) with Chloe...I dont have words to describe that.
there's no contest. phoebe's almost (almost!) cute in that corset and flimsy thing she's passing for a skirt. chloe... dear god. if phoebe's popping out of the easter bunny's birthday cake, chloe's popping out of barney rubble's.
I voted for Chloe. She's the truth - bonafide fug. PP is just a sad little, attention grabbing, exhibitionist, tramp. Her motive is to put herself on display. And by 'herself' I mean her girlie parts. I imagine she secretly has a great sense of style and color but shuns it for the sake of showing her bits. I think PP actually puts 'skank' together pretty well.. except for maybe that snakeskin number. It swallowed her up like a little mouse. Chloe just looks dirty. Not 'minx' dirty. Seattle grunge dirty.
Ooh! This one was actually kind of hard. Had to go with Chloe, anyone who deliberately attempts to bring back the nineties "I'm a Kurt Cobain Groupie" style deserves nothing less.
Chloe is nuts, and not in a good way. If you've seen Big Love, you know she can be made to look like a human, but for some reason she never manages to do it herself.

GOD! It's like bot ends of the fug spectrum, or is it esfugtrum? One girl who wants fugly to be some kind of statement, and one girl who WANTS YOU TO LOOK AT HER DAMMIT!!!! and gets so fugly in the process.
Chloe, based on that fugtastic "fashion line" which is a horror that hurts my brain to think about.
Phoebe would probably benefit from a stylist, which Chloe has and ignores.
*Psst I secretly like the floral corset on Phoebe here!
Heather-Where is Bobby Trendy!!!!???
I had to go with Chloe on this one. PP is sort of harmlessly fug--she is doing it for attention, and we all know it. Chloe, well, she's trying to foist fug on the rest of us, kind of like the "friend" you had in high school who always told you that you looked awesome, when you really looked wretched, just so she could look better. I get the feeling that Chloe is just creating this stuff so we'll wear it, think we're cool, and she'll come flouncing in wearing some superbly fashionable and exquisite thing. We're on to you, Fug Queen!
Chloe has sucked Vincent Gallo's dick, in private AND on film, where the whole vile thing was blown up to immense size. Plus, let's be honest, she isn't in the least pretty. Not. At. All. To quote a friend, "I wouldn't f*** her with a stolen dick. She takes it easily.
Hardest vote ever.....
Peldon vs. Price is a real contest, their fug styles are somehow similar. Chloe probably started from who-cares-I'll-wear-it mixing of second-hand clothes and ended up where she is now: Oz of fugly. She seems quirky and crazy, but not trash. If really pressed to choose, I wouldn't be caught DEAD in what Price/Peldon wear. Ever. It's pure trash. It's a choice between bad style and no style. I guess no style is worse.
While I agree that Phoebe Price does not need any more publicity since she appears to grow more monstrous by the mention, Chloe is her own lady and her sense of style is great. It's so nice to see someone who doesn't think a short tunic and wavy hair is the key to fashion like all of the Hills clones. She is also a brave actress and an entrepreneur and, most importantly, not a FAKE.
This is fun!
Voted for Chloe, because she is actually a pretty good actress but is still known best for how fugly she dresses. It makes me sad and disappointed.
It's gotta be Chloe, because like so many of you have said, she seems to get genuine GLEE out of dressing the way she does. She owns it, she loves it, she throws it in your face. She is unabashedly fug, and if she doesn't win the whole thing (or get darn close) then I...well, I don't know what I'll DO, probably nothing, but still.
Chloe is way fug, and she wins my vote hands down.
Chloe is more boring and horsey-ish (if there is such a word) than fugly. Phoebe is just...well...awful doesn't even begin to describe her soul-sucking presence...
Gotta go with the Sev. At least Price knows she's a ho.
Chloe is a the Supreme Fug Goddess, without her, Fug would not even exist. Chloe lives Fug, she breathes Fug she is the embodiment of all that is Fugly. Bow down before her Fug might mortals!
I voted for PP. Yes, I know all about her desperation. But I am so entranced by this vixen that if I had any idea what she was selling I'd buy some. I'm serious.
The Sev is fug, but the final two are going to be Bai Ling and Courtney Peldon.
This is just evil!
Why must you make me choose? they are both so Grand in their fug, I guess you can't really go wrong.
I hope they tie.
I voted for PP. I understand her desperation, but that's all I understand. I am so entranced by this vixen that if I had any idea what she was selling, I'd buy some.
The Sev is fug, but the final two are going to be Bai Ling and Courtney Peldon.
This one was really difficult...
In the end, I went with Chloe because, I can't help but think that Pheebs is somewhere out there, reading this and coming up with even more ways to guarantee fug. It's what she wants, what she strives for, what she LIVES for. She's out there willing everyone of us to vote for so that she can, just once, be famous for something OTHER than telling us how famous she is.
Chloe, on the other hand, thinks she's above fug. Well let me tell you something, Sevs. NO ONE is above fug. Especially not you; what, with your 18" rise Mom Jeans and Little House on the Prairie shirt, tucked in.
Oh, and me too on the whole being-there-when-someone-finally-tells-Speidi-to-their-face-that-they're-fugly-on-the-inside thing!
Okay, here's how I parse the fine difference between these two charming women. Tacky and fugly are not the same thing: there's a difference between the two akin to the difference between 'arts' and 'crafts.' Phoebe is Queen of Tacky; she would wear rhinestones and sequins and things you can bejewel on your deluded self. She is 'crafts.' On the other hand, Chloe masquerades as 'art.' And attempts to convince the rest of us that we are bourgeois idiots for not understanding her STYLE and her SUPERIOR FASHION SENSE just because we don't want to look like Laura Ashley on crack. Therefore, she is the Queen of Fug. Fug is an art. And she's ARTY, that Chloe. Terrifying, but arty.
Chloe is a greater threat to society, with the dangerous potential to mislead:
1. Is someone people have heard of.
2. Could theoretically be respected for an alleged skill of some kind.
3. Is said to be a fashion icon.
4. Claims to be a fashion icon.
Phoebe: Good for a laugh.
We're trying to get Typepad up and running again -- thanks for your patience!
If Phoebe wins, the terrorists win.
Sevigny FTW. For the love of all that is fugly, Chloe needs to sweep the entire thing. Price is jus a twit, but Sevigny gets my enthusiastic vote because she's just so snotty about her fug. If she is a fashion icon, I guess I won't ever be in style.
God in good gravy, this was HARD!!
I gave it to Phoebe for that publicity photo of her in the crochet hoodie with splayed legs. I can't think of anyone even doing that drunk. I'm not even sure Bai Ling could manage a pose that wiffy and desperate.
C Sev. wins hands down. PP exercises the same bad taste many trophy wives do, plus her attention whoring is almost pitiable. Sevigny's bad taste isn't as colorful, but sheer pretentiousness puts her over the top.
Chloe is the greater threat to society, or at least the portion of it that's easily led:
1. Has been heard of by most people.
2. Is famous in the context of having an alleged skill of some sort, which lends credibility.
3. Is said to be a fashion icon.
4. Claims to be a fashion icon.
Phoebe: Is good for a coffee-spew on your monitor at work, livening up your day.
I think we know who must be stopped.
GOD! It's like bot ends of the fug spectrum, or is it esfugtrum? One girl who wants fugly to be some kind of statement, and one girl who WANTS YOU TO LOOK AT HER DAMMIT!!!! and gets so fugly in the process.
Chloe has more range to her fug than does Phoebe, who is very one-note with the colorful sheer things. Chloe's fug requires a certain inventive genius.
I have a hard time voting for the famous-for-nothing people even when their fug is at 11. (I am looking at you Peldons, Phoebe, Paris, etc.) I feel like I am somehow perpetuated their noteriety so I am going with the Chlo.
Who is the carmen miranda is this Phoebe person? But as hideous as she looks, she is not to be taken seriously because she is, well, trying too hard. I think Chloe is just nutty as squirrel poo to quote Hermioine and deserves to be the Fug Queen.
Has to be Chloe. PP is merely an arriviste in her fugitude.
FUG EMERGENCY:
Of course it could just be my internet/browser, but I can't open the Madonna bracket
Oh come on... At least Sev has had one or two "well played" posts in her past (orange Prada dress anyone?) Price has NEVER looked good. Ever. And she has in the past purposefully gone out to get herself photographed holding up a magazine that has a picture of her looking fugly! She totally doesn't get it! No WAY is Price gonna be out so soon. Can she come back as a wild card or something?
Phoebe tries to ride on the coattails of her own fug, which is a Very Special Approach to Fame Whoring, if ever there was one. But Cloe is trying to sell her fug to the world, and that is some Champion Fugging.
The Madonna Bracket is saying it isn't on the server, which is making me and all the world's kittens cry.
This is a hard vote but come on! Chloe has the nerve to sell her horrible crap-clown-clothes too and spread her message of fugwill unto us lowly non-celebrities. At least Phoebe keeps her bad habits on her own body.
People - what are you thinking?!?!? Chloe over Phoebe? C'mon, I know Miss Sevigny's made some wacky choices, but fuglier than P.P.?
Phoebe's look is straight-up LA famewhore skank. Chloe simply brings the fug, and won't stop even if you ask nicely. I vote for the purity of fug that is the Sev.
I rationalize my vote like this: While Phoebe's fashion eyesores DO look like they were created by the lovechild of Liberace and Cher who sniffed a few highlighters while playing with his/her Bedazzler...they aren't that bad. Granted, the girl needs to abide by the "underwear is WORN UNDER" rule and learn a little about appropriateness of attire (no florescent colors in broad daylight please). But I find myself not loathing her ENTIRE outfit every once in a while. Occasionally there is a cute purse or shoe to save her from the seventh circle of Fug Hell.
Nothing Chloe wears, on the other hand, is palatable. No piece. No circumstance. No excuses.
