Fug Madness 2008: Charo, Sweet 16, Continued

Good lord, this is a hard one!

I go with Bai. Tara could go to rehab and come out collected and unfugged, for all we know. Bai's just crazy.

Gotta go with Bai, just gotta!

No contest.

Not only is it a polka dot bra top, but a SAGGING polka dot bra top! Somewhere in a forest, a 400 pound gay lumberjack is looking for his overalls.

Meh. Not really. Bai Ling's....awful. Tara Reid is just sad. She's too sad to fug almost. Bai Ling is just really, really terrible.

Love the Haiku. Love even more that you took the time and tried to do 5-7-5 syllable pattern but with a couple deviations, haha.

Tara is a sloppy nutjob, but Bai is the living incarnation of Fug. And I LOVE it.

I can't kick Tara when she's down - the slow downward spiral from American Pie to lopsided raison smuggler upsets me too much.

Fug is Bai's raison d'etre.

Had to go with Tara. Bai Ling is insane and dresses insane on purpose. Tara thinks she looks awesome and yet fails miserably.

Bai is angling for attention via her clothes, (cf Gwen Stefani, Paris Hilton), whereas Tara is just lame... and sad... and fug, fug, fug.

I never thought I'd vote against la Ling, and yet, I just have. Go fig.

Bai is Classic Fug
Though Tara gives a good fight
Bai could win it all

Tara at least TRIES. I believe she has even had a well-played on here. But Bai. Bai is not from this planet. Bai is well and truly out to lunch, and is inexplicably drawn to the fug. And am I wrong, but in that photo above, is she wearing those overalls hanging down like low riders and no underwear? Hand on hips, DRAWING attention to that? Do I even want to imagine the back view? (no I don't. I just had lunch.)

IT'S TOO MUCH FUG! TOOOOOOO MUCH! My brain feels like it's on fire!

OHGOD OHGOD OHGOD! What do I dooooo? Whom do I pick? This is the hardest choice ever.

Tara's wardrobe can be blamed on Jagermeister, while Bai Ling actually thinks she's cute. Bad taste sticks to Bai like white on rice. She wins.

Bai is crazy, wacky, loopy fug incarnate. Poor Tara just makes want to put my drink down.

I can't vote for anyone that makes me want to lay off the booze.

By the way, love the haiku, girls!

This is getting so hard!!

Yeah, I convinced myself that if you say "kindergarten" really fast, it counts as two syllables. But this morning I was like, "WHAT? No." Still, they're pretty close to 5-7-5.

Bai just does it for attention. I almost want to vote Tara to get rid of Bai, but ugh, she's just so awful I have to vote for Bai...

I think Bai is the one to beat in this whole competition. Sure Tara is crazy and can generally fug it up with the best of them. But Bai is in a class (and a world) by herself.

The formal picture of Tara really does look like a bad prom set up complete with cheesy, be-glittered background, overload of construction paper, and fake gold lame railing/hardwood flooring.

She is obviously going for the drunken prom-queen that just got done picking leaves out of her hair after "activities" behind the library and hurling the fifth of heaven hill that she downed in the limo on the way.

Bai is still winner simply because she is Tom Cruise level of insane.

I can't believe I just voted AGAINST Bai Ling, but the Fug of Tara Reid - the drunken, filthy, sloppy, tawdry, trashy, bad boob-jobbed fug of Tara Reid - was just too much to be ignored. I just want her to WASH, get some sleep, and stay out of the public eye until she loves herself enough to spend more than $25 on an item of clothing.

Oh dear Fug my eyes
Tara and Bai Ling are one
Tragic misguided

This is basically a choice between the tramp and the chica loco. Tricky, cos I feel TR shouldn't be punished for being a tramp, and BL shouldn't be punished for being crazy. But, a crazy person can still dress nicely, so BL gets it.

This is not a hard choice! Tara Reid can't control her inflated boobies, but other than that she could probably be fixed up by a shower and a dose of rehab.

Ain't no rehab program on earth that could fix whatever Bai Ling has going on.

Nips Akimbo aside
Bai Ling poised to dominate
So says my bracket

I'm going with Bai because not just ONE of her personalities but ALL of them are so very fugly. How can Tara, nay ANYONE, compete with 100 (or however many she has-I'm sure we haven't seen them all) seperate facets of fug? Tara does actually wear some OK outfits sometimes, they just end up looking fugly when drapped over the Boobs of Horror.

I'm getting confused. Is being the fugliest something to aspire to? If so, then Bai should win, as she dresses to get attention. But I voted for Tara, because I feel that getting fugged should be a wakeup call. Tara needs help.

Excellent haikus all around.

"Knit, Intern George"

Indeed.

At least Bai knows what she's doing. She is deliberately wearing things for attention and to show off the fact that she hasn't eaten for past 5 years except for maybe Slimfast. Tara Reid is just... well, I don't think that rehab would save her. She's our high school teen heart-throb who gets knocked up and marries the high school football quarter back and drinks a lot and forgets how to brush her hair--then, one day, she wants to try to dress herself again because she's done being selfless, but she's tragically forgotten how because she's been taking fashion tips from OK! and Bop! Magazine... but without the kid and ex-jock hubby. I fear I've read too far into Reid--regardless, her fug isn't going anywhere...ever.

I WORE those neon overalls with a hot pink tank top, and Birkinstock sandals to a Reggae festival in Miami in 1993
(seriously).

Thanks for the memories... It was a fun concert (Ziggy Marley played and we drank lots of Red Stripe), but it was 16 years ago -- Bai gets my vote.

Though this one is tough,
No one can argue that Bai
Is fug's Dark Mistress.

(With a tip of the hat to Miss V, a fellow commenter.)

My brain just exploded, y'all. I have spent way more time than I care to admit staring at the screen trying to choose. I have filled out job applications that have taken me less time than this decision is taking, and I still haven't made up my mind.

Ummm...and are those purple suede shoes with the polka dot outfit? Bai Ling FTW!!!

Bai Ling shows her bajingo and ta-tas on purpose while Tara Reid is just messy.
Bai Ling wins the fug for that.

Umm...I think I just went blind. This was hard.

I had to vote Bai, because she has so many personalities, and only one that is not fugly out of them all.

Ms. Ling, of *course* ... though, gosh, Ms. Reid was certainly a contender.

Spring is in the air:
Frightful ugliness abounds;
Bleeding eyeballs blaze.

Can't they team up and go into the next round as a Bai-Reid Superduo??? They'd be unstoppable, but in a good, bizarre, hilarious, car-crash-you-cant-look-away-from way.

Please?

Bai Ling man - she TRIES to look crazy. Poor Tara Reid is just trying to cope.

This one was the toughest yet. I thought I'd "ride" Bai all the way to the finals. But, what people said about the Phoebe P. in choosing Chloe over Phoebe--she's just doing it for attention--has to pertain to Bai. She's deliberately choosing to look like a slut for publicity. If she had the offer to remake a serious movie (an Asian Gone With the Wind) with a starring role (roll?), she'd clean up her act in a second. Tara is truly flying her flag (and clothes) at half mast because she's been round the bend, or bender, for some time. So, surpringly to me, I voted for Tara. Oooh, sorry Bai. Go give Phoebe a call and see if you can put together a production for a female Hardy(one) Boys.

As my cousin would say, poor Tara is totes trag. Bai Ling, on the other hand, is fugtacular in every sense of the word. I really think she is going to take this whole thing.

Also, her episode of Angel was on TNT a couple of mornings ago, which I took as a sign.

P.S. Nice haiku everyone. The commenters here are something to behold.

Somehow, at a quick glance, I read "Bai Ling vs. UNITARD". And it seems right.
But Bai Ling wins, only because she goes the extra mile for the CRAZY as well as the skanky.

Another tough-ey... I gotta go with my gut and say, "Bai all the way!"

ahh I don't know... I went with Tara in the end though because no matter how crazy Bai Ling looks she still has some sort of personal style. Tara on the other hand just looks like white trash, and that is never a good look

I voted for Tara because the fug also applies to her body; she's fugly when she's naked, thanks to the terrible cosmetic procedures. Bai Ling, however crazy-tacky, has at least either kept the scalpels from her body or has gotten really good work done.

Thank you for this supremely entertaining March Madness. I think now I'm finally understanding my husband's excitement over his basketball brackets.

Bai Ling just might come out the grand winner, although Peldon will be a tough competitor.

I'm waiting for the day when a visionary director finally puts these two in a film together. I'm thinking wacky crime solving buddy caper, with a rom-com twist.

With Patricia Field in the costume department naturally.

Until then I must vote with my heart and choose Bai.

I agree with the numbers thus far. Tara Reid is more messy than fug. She's just struggling in general. Bai knows exactly what she's doing and by the look on her face she always thinks she looks like a million bucks - she must be corrected.

im sorry, but tara reid is but one fugging personality, whereas bai has several. no contest.

Wow. This matchup really begs for a philosophical debate on the meaning of fug. I need a refresher.

I must go with Bai, for only one reason: I saw a photo (once, years ago), of a cleaned-up Tara Reid. She was in a lovely red dress, and looked beautifully retro-sexy.

Sure, it was only once. Sure, it wasn't recent. But I've never seen Bai Ling look good, ever. She fug-wins.

You that is Tara's party shirt...look how worn in it is!

These are getting more difficult. You've got two women, both of whom have shown themselves to be pretty and to clean up nicely... but don't. Two women, one busty and one small, but who both have a history of nip-slips. Two women who... well, I guess only one of them has more than two personalities that gets her in frequent trouble on these pages.

for this reason, friends,
my choice is clear: it is Bai
as the day is ling.
(er, long.)

I had to vote for Bai. She's not drunk and stumbling out of clubs. At least Tara has an excuse.

Scary clothes on Bai,
But Tara drunk and messy;
Who is Fuglier?

Sometimes I can't decide. So sometimes I ask myself, "Which one would Bobby Trendy like best, if Bobby Trendy liked girls?" Sometimes that clears everything right up for me.

It has to be Bai.

Looking at their fug files
nearly made me weep for fashion
Bai wins by a boob.

Such a hard decision, still can't decide.
One thing is for sure, LOVE THE HAIKUS. Kudos to everyone on the poetry.

You know if La Tara loses, she's going to go on tv again and whine about how much effort she puts into her look, why do those horrible people hate her, blah blah. And she'll wear something horrible doing it. I want to keep that from happening! Or do I?

ok this IS hard. I had to go with Tara because she could actually dress for success if she really wanted to. So I think her fug is worse. Bai is just insane, so she could plead fug by reason of insanity. Plus, when you fug her I always end up either spewing my coffee or peeing my pants from the laughter. I would truly miss that if Bai shaped up.

Right--it's body of work vs. work of body. This is really, really hard.

Springtime: breasts diverge;
Cerebrum melts, trickles off:
Wordless, naked bliss.

come on ppl its bai ling she can pull off anythin no matter how fugly

I went with Tara Reid, because atleast Bai's breasts are semi-supported. I mean, that boob job is TERRIBLE Tara.
p.s wear a bra

I am all about the Bai. She has never disappointed me in her embracing of fug. Seriously, only the Ling, the Peldon, and the Sev can make me scream "WTF? Is she having a stroke?" every single time.

Tara (who disgraces my name and all other Tara's of good standing)is nothing but a keg wench. Once she realizes that it is not Rush Week anymore maybe she will dress as she should. We all know that she is capable of it, she had a streak of about five days dressing quite well.

I have to review the body of work and just got depressed scrolling through TR work. Bai on the other hand I never made it past the half way point, before my brain started to scream! Oh the horror!

I am all about the Bai. She has never disappointed me in her embracing of fug. Seriously, only the Ling, the Peldon, and the Sev can make me scream "WTF? Is she having a stroke?" every single time.

Tara (who disgraces my name and all other Tara's of good standing)is nothing but a keg wench, and we all know that keg wenches are pretty harmless and should be pitied when they are not sleeping with your boyfriend. Once she realizes that it is not Rush Week anymore maybe she will dress as she should. We all know that she is capable of it, she had a streak of about five days dressing quite well whereas B-Ling has not even had five seconds.

Bai dresses like that because she thinks she's hot.

Tara dresses like that because she wants other people to make her believe she's hot.

And that's just too sad for words. Have to go with Bai Ling.

Perhaps if this was the Madonna or Cher bracket, I could go with Tara. Something about the girl nobody counted on coming out ahead and maybe winning an Oscar once she gets through the wacky, drunk, bad men period. But this is CHARO: determined crazy reigns!

Seriously Ladies, with all the work you have done on the bracket, I can't believe you had the time for the haikus. Well played indeed.

To justify my vote for Tara (because it broke my heart not to vote Bai all the way)....she's just so fug. Bai actually likes the clothes she wears! She's clinically insane and we love her for it Tara? Go fug yourself girl.

Bai has to stay in
No one else can beat Peldon
Ling/Peldon finals!

Bai, all the way. No real choice, in my mind: Tara is just kind of sad, but Bai? Bai is *glorious*.

This one's just too easy. Oh, Bai Ling, you maniac.

Plastic surgery
Did not help Tara unfug;
nay, she looks worse.

Bai is clearly nuts.
Many personalities
LEad to bad fashion.

There once was a woman named Bai
Whose wardrobes could make people cry
At being bizarre
She ruled as a star
Though her acting career wouldn't fly.

Her competitor, Miss Tara Reid
Is slut-tacular--that's guaranteed
But despite her strange bod
She isn't as odd
And so Bai Ling is now in the lead!

ONE of Bai's personalities must realize she is simply costuming herself. She isn't trying to look good, just be looked AT. Tara, on the other hand, is seriously trying to look good. Fug costumes are easy. Looking that bad while trying to look good is the definition of fugly.

No career, no class
Nips to southeast and southwest
Must drink to distract

Tara's got to win this thing!!

Tough category... if we were fugging body forms then Tara would win *shudders at image of FUBU'd belly button*

HOWEVER, it's Bai Ling for me, baby... if she doesn't win this thing outright then I'll eat my hat.

As all of the Sweet 16, this is the Rosemary's Choice of fug. They are both masters in their own brands. But Bai . . . she knows what she's doing. Tara's just - to me - sad.

A choice that is not,
Fug or not, there is no try.
Her Taradise? Lost.

Here's your finals, right here:

http://gofugyourself.typepad.com/go_fug_yourself/2004/11/wonderfug_your_.html

Peldon/Ling. It was foreshadowed lo those many years ago. It's inevitable, people. And no one deserves it more than these two lunatic twits.

Bai Ling all the way! Her fugdom has achieved near mythical status. Miss Reid is just another wannabe.

Queen Bai is regal
In her fugulosity.
Tara had no chance.

This was an exhausting decision, but I voted for Tara.

Confucious once said,
If it ain't broke don't fix it,
(Poor lopsided boobs).

My god, it's like "Sophie's Choice."

poor Tara she can't even win most fug : (

Mere skankitude, or
oh-so-inscrutable East?
Tara Reid, withdraw!

The only way I could decide in this contest, as well as several others, is to remind myself that "fug" is short for Fabulously Ugly. (Right? Anyone?) So while Tara would win for Ugly, Bai wins for Fabulous, and I have to go with fabulous every time.

That said: go Posh! You can take this whole thing!

Please don't take this as in anyway approval of Tara's taste. She's still FUGLY.

But if you looked at that stuff on hangers, you might think Tara was kind of sane. Bai finds stuff so ugly she doesn't even have to put it on for us to know she's crazy.

I just can't decide!
Guess I'll close my eyes and click...
Darn it; PETA ad.

/Bai forever

Again I say, Bai Ling wins EVERY time.

My vote goes to Bai because I truly feel she WORKS for it. Tara just slops around in messy stuff you can get anywhere, but Surely Ms. Ling didn't just pick that neon over-not-quite-all up off the rack? That's not luck, people. That's skill.

OMG, Catherine, you are SOOOO right. But let's not forget Ms. Sevigny...

Bai Ling dominates. Bring it home, B.Ling, you the FUG.

Sweet Jesus...

So Bai-Bi dresses like she got hit over the head. Gotcha. But did any of you ever consider the fact that she is INDEED an alien from another planet? She can 't help the way she dresses! All the data compiled on how earthlings dress is very haphazard what, with all the meteorites slamming into her planet all time. I mean, those guys have bigger fish to fry. So Bai-Bi shouldn't really be faulted too much. Ms. Reid on the other hand should be beaten down to her most basic elements and disposed of. Girlfriend has so many resources at her fingertips to guide her in a more fashion-forward direction. Yet she chooses to style herself in the style of drunk college girl with botched plastic surgery. Tell me, who's the bigger fashion offender? the extraterrestrial or the DOUCHEBAG?

I kind of just feel bad for Tara. She used to be so cute (and still can be sometimes), but now seems like she's not all there in the head. Not that Bai is, but the multiple personalities make her wardrobe more interesting.

I went with Bai for a few reasons

a) She seems like she would be truly honered if somebody told her she won this whole thing and would likely post about it on her website in broken english. I think finding word of this will just make Tara more sad and thus more drunk

b) Bai's is the kind of insane/colorful/fab/spaz dressing I love. I mean she always looks clean and showered and healthy so I don't feel bad laughing at her hilarious choices. Making fun of the Britney's and Tara's of the world is too crule

c) gotta vote for the most creative way to expose some skin (especially with all the options she gives0

d) I really wish she was my kindergarden art teacher, how fun would that have been?

I think that, next year when you have the GFY bracket, you need to add a White Trash "Wild Card" Bracket.

My money's on Bai for THE WIN!!

even though i'm voting for her, I love Bai. she's just in her own little world, not realizing that she dresses like she's bat shit crazy. she also seems to really love her clothes (and i use that term loosely).

This one was the hardest yet. You know when Tara looks good it's because she's clean and sober so is it really her fault when she's fug? Bai Ling is such a nutjob, you just know when she gets all fancied up that she thinks she looks delicious. Plus she finds it affirming that no one else would dress the way she does.

It was tough, but I had to fug Tara. Bai intentionally dresses like a thrift store in hell threw up on her, while Tara rocks hillbilly chic and thinks she's the poop.

I adore the Haiku!
Bai Ling rocks my visual sensors; it's like looking at a Tim-Burton-striperella-90's Barbies Kaleidoscope

I had to vote Bai Ling, the way I look at it, Bai is actually a pretty girl, and she choose to wear stuff that make her look crazy. Tara, on the other hand, ruined her looks with booze and botched plastic surgery to a point where clothes that would otherwise look cute will be wasted on her.

In my heart, I know Bai Ling is the Fuggier of these two. But, dammit, Tara played Bunny Lebowski, and attention must be paid to the star of "Logjammin'."

I agree with Jen. Bai Ling dresses crazy on purpose, and it works for her. If it weren't for this site, I wouldn't even know who she is! That's not fug -- that's good business.

But Tara, oh, poor Tara, doesn't know what she's doing. And it's horrible.

Are you kidding me? Bai Ling is trying to look crazy to get attention. Tara Reid actually walks out the door thinking she looks nice! Tara is waaaaaaaay more fug.

i can't even vote!
i can't do it!!!!!

Oh, I struggled with this one. In the end, Bai edges out Tara. I went with whose outfits totaled less yardage of material. By that yardstick, Bai wins by a mile!

Tara's boobs remind me of that movie "The Jerk", with Steve Martin. Remember? He invents these glasses, and eventually everyone's eyes go totally askew, with one looking up at the ceiling and one looking at the person in the corner.

It's like her boobs wore those glasses.

Bai's overalls decided it for me. The fact that she can manage to show some skin while wearing the most ginormous pair of pants that I have ever seen proves that she is a genius of fug.

the only way i could decide was to flip a coin. tara won.

"There once was a woman named Bai"
Jupiterpluvius, you totally made my friday!
still giggling!

Bai Bai, Tara! Miss Ling has set new standards of Fug (remember those "fashion bandaids"?) - she's going all the way to the finals.

Bai, Pheobe, the Peldons - they dress this way on PURPOSE. Therefore, they are not truly fug to me. Tara gets the vote!

Bai Ling is a freak. Period.

Bai Ling is my favorite for the whole shooting match. I can understand the argument for other contestants, but she's got the Ur-fug thing covered. Her picture adorns the pages of the Oxford English Dictionary in the fu-- section (or it would, if the OED had an illustrated dictionary). And, frankly, she can still shock me -- that overall jumper in Margharita Day-Glo Green is mind-blowing.

Bai Ling dresses crazily; Tara Reid dresses tackily. Bai knows she's dressing crazily. Tara has no clue. Clueless = much fuglier.

Bai, a million times over. Bai is going over the top on purpose, whereas Tara is going for normality, but has really crappy taste.

I had to go with Bai Ling if only because I chose her as winning the whole thing anyway on my bracket. I guess I've got to be consistent. But you have to give it up to Tara. She's a fighter in fug department...

Elizab, you beat me to the 'Bai Bai, Tara' punchline!
Teresa, I think purposefulness is the quintessence of fug. We may have an essential difference of fug dogma here. And I feel bad for Tara, because just a couple of years ago, her face was fresh and career zipping along.

Oh yeah, I thought Bai was quite good on Lost, for what that's worth. She imbued that role of a Thai hooker/tattoo artist with a certain dignity and self-respect and that's quite a trick. No pun intended. Oh yeah, it's possible that the character isn't a hooker, but just dresses like one. My bad.

Oh Lord!
Actually I voted for Tara:she is SleazyTrailorFug:
while Bai Ling is CarayzyNipSlipFug.
Nyeheheh...

Okay, I have to admit--I kind of like Bai's shoes in the first picture. That being said, they don't match that horrible outfit, which should have its own zip code in the Fug Hall of Fame.

"knit Intern George, knit!" L.O.fuggin' L. I give it to Bai for the neon overalls ALONE. Tara is a young mess, I doubt if she has even 2 personalities. Also, remember Bai's New Years band-aids? The cape, underwear, and red velvet leg warmers? rest ma case.

"e-ku" (coming at you soon I'm sure)

u hatrs stop it
ill bet u r jelus 1s
i heart tara

This is the best March Madness EVER! My husband can watch all the basketball he wants now; keep it coming.

If only Bai had dressed like this in her Tiananmen Square days. The Party would have been frightened into regime change, and Tibet would not be in the mess it is today. She is the Empress of Fug, and her power is not to be messed with. One vote for the MOTHERLAND!

gosh, i think bai ling looks sort of fabulously strange and awesome, whereas tara just looks wretched. so tara is worse...

Your most brilliant post - Ever! (And that's saying a lot..) Well played ladies.

Oh, dear sweet lord
Bai's shoes are in my closet
What does it all mean?

Oh god oh god. I was so worried! SO WORRIED! Pitting my Bai against Tara Reid had me all a quiver with fear that my sweet precious cape wearing wackadoo would somehow lose. I was all set to climb atop a soap box and preach the gospel of Ling.
Or at least to go on and on about how Bai CHOOSES what she wears ON PURPOSE and not because she's been out binge drinking all night and grabbed the first thing that didn't smell like vomit.

And if Tara Reid can't stop Bai then NOTHING CAN!!! MUAHAHAHA!!!

Listen, Bai's got attitude. Tara just has NO TASTE!

C'mon, guys! Vote Reid! At least Ling's things look clean and paid for.

This one is Bai Ling - while I thought it would be harder - I had only to remember the red carpet walk Tara Reid did when she exposed her breast - and oddly shaped nipple - to the world. The sad truth is that were it not for that slip of the dress - she looked very pretty and classy that evening - something bai ling may never be able to do.

This is tough, I mean, Tara is well, Tara,
and totally tasteless, and her weight, and everything else,
but Bai Ling, is Bai Ling, and you just can't go against
that kind of Fug.

I voted for Bai Ling because at least Tara never showed up to an event with band-aids on her knees made up as accessories.

I love the all the fug haikus! The commenters are almost as hilarious as the fug girls themselves, which is high praise indeed. Anyway, is anyone else strangely intrigued by the idea of Bai as a wacky elementary school art teacher? She would be right at home in a finger-painted smock and play-doh shoes! I had to vote for her...I can't wait for the epic Bai/Chloe showdown...

Bai and Chloe at the end! My brain might explode!

Bai clinched this win a month ago when she wore Happy New Year Band-aids on her shins... gotta love that fug!!

Tara is tragic, orange, sloppy, greasy, smelly, sad, untalented, and seems to have some SERIOUS issues in here chestal region.

But, B. Ling... is a HEINOUS MESS.

I picked Tara because Bai Ling at least owns a hairbrush.

I actually found myself chanting "Bai Ling! Bai Ling!" as I voted for her.

Bai, you charming freak
The Fug Girls made me love you
Dumplings? What was THAT?

I vote for Tara, because when Bai wears something classy she looks cute, whereas Tara always looks dirty even when she wears nice clothes.

I saw in the paper a couple weeks ago that Bai Ling got arrested for shoplifting. This means somewhere out there, a Bai Ling mug shot exists.
Please, for the love of all that is fugly, find that photo.

Holy crap this is REALLY HARD!!

I once saw Tara Reid look really cute at an awards show - I actually think it was a Nickelodeon shindig - she was wearing a cute red dress and she looked CLEAN. THis was a while ago, this random moment in a lifetime of fug.

Bai is ALWAYS fug. Therefore my vote goes to Tara, simply out of sheer frustration.

Bai Ling has that "crazy chick" thing going for her, whereas Tara has that "sad formerly hot chick" thing going, so imo Tara wins the fug.

haiku? I mean, if I didn't think you two were genius, this pretty much sealed the deal for me.

Bai FTW! She will not be outfugged!

Bai is unstoppable!! that is all.

Had to go with Tara -- I think Bai Ling might actually be crazy while Tara is just plain, old-fashioned tacky.

I don't know who Bai Ling is, but unless you can produce a photo of her looking something approaching fugless, she will sweep all before her.

Bai's in it to win it - a true classic. Tara = disposable.

Oh my goodness those overalls are indeed a deal breaker.

How could I NOT go with Bai after seeing that?

Wow. That is the best match up yet. I can't believe how much fun this is.

so much awesomeness in this post. i'm sorry girls, you've outdone yourself. this is brilliant. absolutely brilliant.

Ask and you shall receive-- Bai Ling's mug shot:

http://tinyurl.com/34kl4b

TRAGIC. She does not look fabulous, she just looks like a 36 year old in central booking for committing the petty, pointless crime of stealing BATTERIES in an LAX terminal. If you read the linked site, she was practically writing deranged haiku as she wandered the airport, quite possibly high as a kite, though maybe just naturally insane:

"Delayed the flight, wondring (sic) again in the airport like a ghost, why can't I just be the sun smile? My heart is a little sad now, casted by the melody of life ..."

I cannot even feel good about voting for her fug. So I voted for the equally sad and scary Tara Reid, whose nip slips could put out someone's eye if she's not careful. Take a shower and put on a bra, Tara. Maybe also drink some charcoal and wipe your mouth.

This one hurts. Even tho in an earlier post I dismissed the Forever 21-ers as another, lesser contest--I NEED Tara in this contest. To me someone who not only daily (after day after day) dons fug clothes but also has the poor judgement to SURGICALLY ALTER herself into permanent fugdom--well that's just fug.
But following Courtney's inspired What Would Bobby Trendy Do logic--
Bai all the way.

ps courtney should get honorary Fug Girl status for that bit of wisdom

Tara is obviously loaded when she gets dressed. Bai Ling fugs cold sober. She wins.

Bai Ling is the queen of fug plain and simple. I don't think I have ever seen a picture of her where isn't wearing something completely insane. Tara on the other hand has managed to look decent once or twice.

Christy said:

"Tara is obviously loaded when she gets dressed. Bai Ling fugs cold sober. She wins."

What makes you think Bai Ling is sober?!?

Again, apparently swimming against the stream, I think that Bai Ling manages to carry off the craziness, but Tara Reid just looks dreadful. I've got to go with Tara's fugliness ruling. The boob-job alone is enough to hand her a championship.

Tara = misshapen trainwreck.
Bai = Empress of Fug— nay, GOD OF FUG.

I was going to vote for Tara - the horrible tan, botched plastic surgery and OH MY GOD MY EYES that picture before the jump. But then I saw Bai's overalls. No wonder she wears mini skirts all the time. It's as if she saw this picture of herself and realized how horrible that look was, then went 180 degrees in the other direction to disassociate herself from it.

Bai Ling is like a weird Goddess of the Strange. She is the Force of Finding the Horrific in a Closet.

Whereas Tara Reid is just hardcore, irredeemably fugly. She looks like a bag lady pretending to be an actress.

I vote Tara.

I'm in the minority voting for Tara, but my definition of fugly includes needing to involuntarily yell, "MY EYES, MY EYES!" or "WTF happened to her boobs?" as opposed to "Whee, what does Bai have for us today?"

man. this was rough. the nutjob schizo or the white trash party-whore?!

i chose tara because she *thinks* she's keeping things on lock. bai is just so bad it's good. she HAS to know what she's doing. and it's diabolical.

oh man, i really thought T-re was topless for a minute there. not scrolldown fug, but fauxflash fug.

my brain, on fire
from tara. her tacky noise
outdoes team bai. cry.

This is not a contest. It's a massacre! Bai Ling will swallow the fug world whole. Poor Tara hasn't a chance.

I GUFFAWED when I saw that second set of pictures. I've never seen them before and like to have died from the laughing. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

This was a tough one. Clash of the titans indeed! But based on her insanely wacky outfits over the years, I have to give this to Bai. Fab actress, but a wardrobe that looks like it came from the closets of Elvira and Bozo.

I am quoting SOMEONE from before the rounds started:

"When I say Bai you say Ling
BAI LING BAI LING!"
