Just a reminder for the final bracket of the day: please vote for the person you think is fugliest (based on clothes, hair, overall style... you know the drill as far as that goes), and please consider their entire body of work as you weigh your very mighty decision, not just the picture at hand. PS: Your comments so far have been a scream.
(1) POSH vs. (16) KATE BOSWORTH
What can we saw about Posh that we haven't already said? She is amazing:
She is everything. She is a glamorous performing alien. She is a lover of hotpants. She is a secret Poison groupie. She is a raging Karl Lagerfiend. SHE OWNS A PAIR OF MOTHER-F'ING CHAPS. She is, as you see here, also perhaps a tennis ball, and/or is smuggling a pair of them in her chest cavity. She is Posh. TREMBLE BEFORE HER.
And you might not think so at first blush, but Kate Bosworth might have a hint of our gal Vicks in her somewhere. At the very least, she might have lifted this from Posh's closet:
It's kind of what you'd expect if Bosworth were to decide to let Sharon Stone style her. Frighteningly furry and yet kind of awesome. It's potentially better than the time she went out wearing cupcake liners. Like Posh, she has the tendency to do her hair so that she looks a bit like an alien. She also has a tendency to over-accessorize. And finally, and most cruelly, her outfit once made Orlando Bloom cry.
(4) KATE MOSS vs. (13) JOHNNY DEPP
So, it turns out we're not huge fans of Kate Moss. She's a supermodel and a trend-setter, no doubt, but did this sort of thing really work on anyone else in the world?
Some, of course, would argue it didn't particularly work on her. (Guilty. We know: she's a legend, blah blah blah. She just doesn't do it for us.) Let's be honest. That's essentially a diaper. She's also guilty of wearing fur stoles like baby slings, cheesy chiffon starred jumpsuits, visible white panties under a ballgown, and really heinous pleated shorts whilst looking at Sienna Miller patronizingly.
Some would argue that everything's gone downhill for her since she broke up with our 13 seed, one Mister Johnny Depp:
Settle DOWN, OKAY. SETTLE. JUST SETTLE. We love Johnny Depp. He is a great actor. We would not kick him out of our collective bed for eating crackers, even if he had his Captain Jack Sparrow teeth in. We'd love to be stuck in an elevator with him. But while we enjoy it when men take fashion risks, if only because it's interesting, sometimes he DOES show up places looking like Harry Potter. Or like this, which is sort of like his salute to Bruce Campbell's character on Burn Notice. Or like this, which is kind of one rose-clenched-in-the-teeth sort of a tango. Face it: he's just sort of kooky. And who can resist the ex versus ex fug-face off?
5) SIENNA MILLER vs. (12) SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR
Oh, SIENNA. Is she a pale imitation of Kate Moss, a total mess all her own, or a delicious mixture of the two? Or does it not matter, as long as she's wearing a top hat and a floppy boob tie?
The poor girl has a history of tragedy, above and beyond her bad luck with dudes. To wit, she once wore her granny panties as trousers in front of Anna Wintour, and then claimed it was an homage to her Edie Sedgwick. She once thought it would be wise to go outside wearing a horse harness. She decided to wear her bathing suit to lunch with Jude Law. She trampled through a week of Oscar parties and Independent Spirit Awards in a series of slipcovers. She...she....she -- well, JUST LOOK AT ALL THIS!
Then, on the other hand, we've got SMG:
We do love us some Smidge. She's Buffy! She's pretty! She's wearing a paper bag! She also often provokes us to wonder if she's knocked up; wears way crazy make-up; is prone to dress herself in gift bags; and makes the terrible personal choice to endorse satin shorts jumpsuits. Why does she do that?
(8) MELISSA GEORGE vs. (9) JOSS STONE
And finally, the last match-up of the week. You may recall Melissa George as That Bitch Lauren on Alias who married Vaughn while Sydney was having amnesia in China and presumed dead, or whatever actually turned out to be the story with that whole plot line. Anyway, fans notoriously didn't care much for her on the show, and we don't care much for this:
We were also not particularly fond of her white satin formal shorts. Or of her aluminum foil gown. Or of this really unfortunately wrinkled pillowcase drama. Or of -- my goodness -- a suit we'd much rather see on Tilda Swinton.
But she's got a well-matched competitor in Joss Stone, who often looks a total mess, as she does here.
Oh, and here -- this is a retina-searer. And eek! This is way too short. And WOW, this butt-ruffle was a mistake. Of course, a butt-ruffle is rarely a good idea. Right? RIGHT??
I was already done with work but I stuck around to get my votes in for the final bracket. This is like a drug...I can't get enough!
Posh better take this whole damn thing.
This is my most favorite thing... EVER!
I think Chloe needs to win it all though.
Love this site. You ladies rock! Every time I go shopping now I'm terrified that I might end up on your site. Ah, IF I was a celebrity and not a middle aged single mother stuck in the Midwest.
I am so rooting for Posh to win this whole thing. She has a good chance, too. I'll be sending hopeful vibes GFY's way,
Also, yay comments! Comments are lovely. :)
Posh is too fierce to fug... somehow she pulls it off.
And Johnny is too gorgeous to fug.
The others were tough. Except Joss Stone, she is batshit crazy.
Joss is a mess...
-Posh is a hot mess. She might just take the whole thing
-Joss Stone got my vote for the butt-ruffle
-Depp- I love him too much to fug him
-SMG has NOTHING on Sienna
Traveling through Posh World all-of-a-piece was an absolute mind-blower, how does she do it? If this contest produces a crown, she must be graced with it.
JOHNNY, WHY!
oh GOD I forgot about the chaps. Bless you girls. (Or damn you for reminding me?)
Sometimes this is quite hard because some people deserve to reign supreme as Fug King/Queen, and it would be a good thing (like, for Posh for instance). The thing that's really making my head hurt is when you want the title to humiliate and demoralize the person up for it, like Ashlee Simpson.
The Karl Lagerfeld dialogue always kills me...and yet I imagine it's not far from the truth. I love him but he's obviously insane.
SMG misses badly at times, but they seem more like misses - "oops! I missed..." On the other hand, Sienna Miller always seems pretty satisfied wearing ensembles that are just consistently OFF... WAY off.
I'm putting my money on Posh winning. Would it be a dream category if Posh went up against Sharon Stone?!?!?!
P.S.- This is way more fun than basketball....
SMG looks like she's wearing a disposable paper hospital gown. Pumpkin? It's not the day for your annual!
Johnny's a quirky artist who eschews fashion. Kate's a supermodel--no excuse for the fug!
I am both entirely confused by, and entirely enamored with, Posh. If ever there was a woman with more cleavage, more fake tanning, and more devotion to "edgy" bobs and day-glo formal wear let her step forward.
I had to vote for Posh, even though I think she carries it all off glamorously, even the crazy chaps. I just can't bear to let her leave Fug Madness! And she certainly shouldn't be dispatched by boring Kate Bosworth. Viva la Posh!
I think that if SMG just stopped listening to the fugged up comments from the ladies at Saks who have obviously been selling her this crap (stylist anyone?) she might actually find something flattering.
Obviously Joss Stone has been employing one of said ladies from Saks as her stylist for at least the past 2 years...
I think the tennis ball might win it all tho....
is it just me or does anyone else actually LOVE that neon green dress posh is wearing up there? ok, yes, her boobs are doing their usual jail-break routine, but on the whole, i actually really like the bright green, and i like the flowery pattern, and i even like the matching shoes. maybe the green is just so bright it's actually blinding me to how fug it all really is.
Seriously- it is Victoria "Motherf-ing" Beckham. She should be disqualified for her ability to destroy planets should she so choose, raise the dead parents of orphans, and- I heard - her smile can change a person's sexual persuasion (that is why she does it so rarely) Poor Kate Bosworth is a helpless ewe in comparison. Victoria "Motherf-ing" Beckham.
I can see the final... Bai Ling vs. Chloe Sevigny... Oh, wouldn't that be delightful?
I thought long and hard about it, but Joss reigns supreme over Melissa George. The strangely dyed hair! The lack of skirt or pants! Letting a blind three-year-old do her makeup! The list goes on, and so does her fug.
Posh is at the tippy-top of my list of Celebrities With Whom I Would Like to Have an Adult Beverage. She is just so fierce and funny and I sort of think she secretly knows some of the stuff she wears is completely insane. She wears it anyway, and giggles behind the scowl. The Sev should win the whole thing. Sevigny's sartorial selections are so mind-meltingly bad she convinces people to think her clothes are "important". Her clothes brainwash people!
Okay, I confess. I voted for Johnny. I'd vote for Johnny for anything- Intergalactic President! Best Pool Boy! yay Johnny! I love his crazy weird clothes and really I just want to see him back again on these pages. It's that simple.
He is awesome. Dude could wear a feed sack and I'd think he looked perfect. In fact, I happen to have an old feed sack in the barn...
this week, office productivity has dropped 250%. keep it coming, ladies!! can't wait!!
How can Johnny not win? He has been looking like a homeless pirate for the last DECADE.
See what makes Posh less fuggy than Kate Bosworth is the fact that Posh totally owns her look. She goes out there and says, "Yeah I wore spangly hot pants. I would wear this to the grocery store if I ever felt like consuming something beyond diet coke."
Kate Bosworth seems a little milque-toast about her choices. Thus the fugging from me.
Just wanted to say - you girls are awesome and thanks so much for doing this!!!
Btw - I have a round of drinks riding on Chloe taking the whole thing.
OK ppl.....Am I missing something here with the Joss Stone and Melissa George poll thing?? There is no friggin way Melissa George dresses better then Joss. Are you ppl clicking on the link and ACTUALLY LOOKING at Melissa's outfits?? *gag* I'm thinking some of you live too close to power lines......
Totally agree about SMG. She could do OK if she wanted. That dress could have worked if it was, like, a color. Versus Sienna... her outfits are her TRYING TO LOOK GOOD. She wins.
Melissa George can't touch Joss, but I almost voted for her purely based on her obnoxious "I'm sexy" facial expression. Girl. Have you seen what you're wearing? That face DOES NOT go with it.
Bosworth should maybe have been seeded higher, though-- she could have beat out Melissa George, but she can't touch Posh, the QA-UEEN of fug. Ah well, 2009 awaits.
Where's David Arquette? After revisiting Johnny Depp's fashion mistakes, I got to thinking about the trainwreck that is Coco's daddy. Maybe he didn't make the cut because he hasn't been spotted much lately, or maybe he did and I just missed seeing him. Anyway, I'm having such a blast with this and think it's going to get much harder!!
If not for our daily Fugly, my office-mate & I would be forced to turn on eachother's outfits and cut a bee-yotch! Thanks Heather & Jessica, for making the world a safer and funnier place!
So I'm going with the idea that fashionistas such as Posh, Gwen Stefani, and my beloved Johnny Depp pull off their fugness with style & flair every time. They're laughing with us... at themselves.
Cloe, Tara, and the undeniably bat-s*** Bai, are the true contenders for Fug Madness '08!
I had to fug Johnny because he makes himself look SO BAD! How does he manage to make his prime rib self look like a spam sandwich?
I am of the opinion that Posh can almost, almost, do no wrong. Almost
I mean, she pulls off the color of a tennis ball rather well due to all that Cali sun...or the tanning booth
I just really and truly despise Kate Botsworth AND Sienna Miller. Mostly because I cannot tell them apart, but also because they just think they are so damn awesome. In reality? FUG CITY.
I am LOVING this Fug Madness btw, girls!
Posh better go far in the brackets. She's too major not too.
*to. ugh.
The only thing I can give Posh props for is having the good taste to get married to whatsisname in MY family's castle in Ireland. Otherwise she is TTNT - totally talentless and tasteless.
Depp is his own man. Rock on, John-boy, rock on. Kate Moss, Joss Stone, and Sienna Miller are postergirls for WHAT NOT TO PUT ON YOUR BODY.
Wow. After the first picture of Posh I had to let my eyes readjust before I could continue voting. I didn't realize that that was a color outside of a sealed container of nuclear waste. How could she not win this whole thing?
I just can't do it, I can't vote in the first one. I have to feel they're both too ballsy to fug. (I'd say fierce, but I can't do that either.)
Wow! Who even knew Kate Bosworth was so entertaining? All I associate with her is "Blue Crush", being too skinny but maybe back on the wagon again now?, and the random fact that she co-starred with Scarlett Johansson in "The Horse Whisperer" when both were about 14 years old. Crazy fur coat? That scarf with that dress? I mean, she's clearly out-matched by Posh, but wait until she's Sharon Stone's age. Watch out, world.
Sienna Miller is a good company for Chloe and Beyonce. Crazy, crazier and TEH FIERCE.
what is Joss Stone's deal! when i first heard her voice on the radio i almost had an accident, no really, i did. her voice is like fug-tastic press-on nails on a chalkboard. then when i saw her stylistic choices i knew she would one of those people who's mere presence would cause me both migraines and swooning fits. yuch. my money's on Miss Stone
I love SMG. I recently watched a random movie where she plays the girlfriend of - it's gross, I warn you - Alec Baldwin. But, her clothing, shoes and handbags in the movie were to die for. Even without that, there's no way she could take out Sienna Miller. La Miller has decorated red carpets, cities around the world and these pages with fugtastic fug one too many times.
Also, Posh's archive explains just how Christian won Project Runway. Has there ever been a less qualified judge of a fashion competition ever? Bosworth, while putting up a suprisingly good fight, is a poor imitation. That all being said, I am utterly fascinated and delighted by Posh's mere existence. She is totally awesome.
I took Moss over Depp. His quirkiness somehow works for him. And not even he would wear a star-covered, sheer jumpsuit.
my head has literally just melted down over my shoulders in the Moss v. Depp showdown... it went to Moss based solely on the fantasy of him being in my bed eating those crackers.
OOOOH, commenting?
*Hugs the authors of GFY* I love you guys, :D. I wish more people were fugly so you would have more writing material and update aalllllllll the time.
And ahaha, Heliotrope, I'm like that nowadays as well. Although more often when having gotten dressed, not actually shoppping. Sometimes I have to rush and most of the normal clothing options in what is my closet isn't clean anyways, I put on something which feels pretty normal, but when I get to school I notice I'm GFY-material and realice people will now be asking whether or not I was drunk and/or high when I got dressed this morning.
I had to pick Kate over Posh just because I just don't think she's important, or cute, or quirky enough to absolve her of her fashion sins.
Posh so completely embodies fug that, in fact, she's turned fug on its head. You expect fug from her, want fug from her, thrill at her new levels of fug and therein lies the brilliance. Kate Bosworth just dabbles unknowingly at fug so it's BORING. She's an amateur. Therefore, Kate Bosworth gets my vote for being so unimaginative in her fugocity.
I ... just ... cannot ... fug... Johnny Depp. He's too beautiful. Kate Moss is just dirty, and not in a good way. There is no sense of humor there.
So my kids are home from school today (Happy Good Friday, all), watching re-runs of "Full House" while I sit here going through the brackets, casting a hearty vote for MK Olsen. It's fun for the whole family! Thanks, Fug Divas!
kate moss= fugly hot mess. i seriously cant believe people would want to look like that. she has the potential to win this whole thing.
Oh, Also, I have to agree with D - the Posh-Lagerfeld faux conversation cracks me up every time. Actually, all the faux conversations do. Keep it u, H and J! Y'all are the best! Thanks for making my work week that much more bearable!
Hm, I'm forced to rethinking my approach to voting. If only for the fact that I should probably be voting not for the person whose confidence I could shake by opening laughing at their outfit, but for who would scratch me bald if I even raised an eyebrow.
1) Bosworth is fuglier than Posh. Posh may be more over the top, but she doesn't really do anything so I'm ok with the wife of a sports star dressing over the top, plus she tries and seems very charming. Bosworth is just anarexic looking, boring and badly styled all the time.
2) Hard call, I picked Depp as the fuglier one because when not working with a stylst he consistently looks homeless. Kate does her thing, and others want to do it.
3) Sienna - cause she sucks, still don't know/care why she is famous, and all she does is copy Kate Moss but in a fuglier way. SMG is just too damn pretty to look bad half the time, also she is like the tiniest person in the world and has scoliosis so its a lot harder for her to find flattering things
4) Joss Stone - not just because I have no idea who that other girl is, but because Joss is the ultimate fug...who else was born with so much (tall, beautiful, thin, mile long legs) and ends up looking that fugly all the time?
God I know I should vote for Posh but I just cant. She is just too wicked.
And although it was close, I had to fug Joss because her hair is so much worse than M-Geor's.
Awesome bracket btw. Who cares about college bball anyway.
samanthakat - The movie "Suburban Girl" had all the costumes done by Pat Field who did Sex and the City and Devil Wears Prada.
I miss Mickey Rourke. That's all.
I want Kate Moss to eat Sienna Miller so bad you have no idea.
Posh Vs. Kate. Can't believe Posh is winning. She does dress in some whacked out stuff, but for some reason she can always even at the very last second pull it off, kind of like how Duke did against Kentucky back in the 1992 regional Finals. I voted for Kate. So there.
Moss Vs. the Depp child. A tough call because Depp often comes across as if he hasn't come near water, soap, a washcloth or any combination of the three for weeks on end. But Moss is the on again, off again semen depository for one Pete Doherty, and his vile galaxy sized stinky skankness has soiled and stained her forever, hence she wins by out stinking Depp.
Sienna Vs. Sara. Buffy always looks classy, Sienna not so much. Game to Sienna.
Melissa Vs. Joss Meh to both, but I voted for Joss simply because that mind searingly god awful Gap commerical that she did back in the late 1990's took at least 4 years off my life. So Joss gets it.
I'm starting to not understand this Fug Madness. I thought this was about who's style is effing ugly. How does Posh's style even compare to sloppy Johnny Depp style, crazy Daniel Day Lewis style, alien Bai Ling style, or absurd Chloe Sevigny style? I mean, this competition has shown me that some of the voters are strangely conflating personalities with style. And this should not be done. It's simply a matter of what is obviously frightfully ugly, that a celebrity chose to wear outside.
And yes Courtney Peldon, I count you as a celebrity.
I just can't fug Posh.
I feel like every time she steps out in something absolutely mind-boggling, she's silently saying to us: "I know. And I mean it."
Her style is a reckless-yet-calculated assault, and one that at least half of us bear gladly.
There is no doubt in my mind that Sienna Miller was sent here by Satan to make my time on this planet more miserable. She's just so impossibly LAME.
I'd also like to suggest a formal fug girls ban of the phrase "hot mess"
Why is it that Posh can step out in (as you said so well), EFFING CHAPS, and look that damn good? While the clothes are no doubt as fug as they come, she still looks spectactular. Sienna Miller on the other hand, well, she mostly looks homeless and drunk.
Vicky B's fab hair completely makes up for the fug. With hair that awesome, who's looking at the crazy?
Oh my god, this is consuming my entire day. And I love it! So my fug, I think I will explode (or accidently go out of the house wearing leggings!).
Posh always looks so...flammable. How about a natural fibre now and then?
I adore Johnny - he can do no wrong! Joss Stone, on the other hand, can do no right. Even if the clothes are not eye-gougingly tacky (and really, when is that ever the case?)those nasty ass weaves she sports keep her firmly in the fug files.
Man, I get so tired of explaining this: Sienna's "granny panties as trousers" was a COSTUME FROM HER MOVIE. She wore them in honor of what's her name - the Factory Chick.
I cannot with good conscience vote for Posh. She is my favorite human ever. and she is Fabulous.
No one can touch Posh, the fiercest fug of all.
Seriously? Suburban Girl's costumes were done by Pat Fields? Interesting, because I want to own everything SMG wore in that movie, plus some things other characters wore. Also, no one wore fur on a run or to a dog park.
I even liked Buffy's clothes. I think I might have a mad girl crush on SMG.
I had to go with Depp over Moss...any man who can fug up that kind of natural gorgeousness with his weird fashion choices deserves recognition. Kate in contrast,exudes a kind of chic, disheveled glamour even whilst sporting a tweed diaper or fur papoose.
I almost had to go with everyone who wore satin shorts jumpsuits, but then Sienna Miller wore the denim vest with no pants. Smidge has nothing on that.
I can't figure out if I should vote for the most vomit-inducing outfits or the most crazy costumes. So I am going for crazy in the hope of seeing more of the retina-splitting-yet-somehow-facinatingly-has-something costumes from the crazy coots of the celebrity world like Beyonce, Posh et all.
I do have a question though - if Bjork is usually exempted for being crackers at will, why are we seeing so much of Bonham-Carter? Would you not rectify the situation by posting some more Bjork? I secretly adore her dead swan dress and Mick J skirt and I am hoping for some Dame Edna delights...please? Please?
Can I just say, now that we are at last allowed to comment, how much I totally adore you ladies and how you continue to make my days oh so much better?
Oh god, it felt so good to fug people I've hated for so long (Grapefruit Tits and Wall-Eyed McGap Tooth, I'm lookin' at you), I think I need a ciggie. And I don't even smoke. Thank you so much for this.
I need to stop looking at celebrity photos so much. Formal shorts are starting to look attractive.
Posh is incapable of true fug. Somehow she manages to pull off things that on anyone else would be complete disasters. I wish I looked that good in chaps!
Posh = high style + no class. Kate has not risen up to the overall fugness that Posh has displayed during her playing career. 'Nuff said.
Kate wins because she if a freakin' supermodel and should KNOW how to dress and yet she fugs it up big time. She wishes she had Johnny Depp's charm and kookiness which makes his fug more palatable.
Sienna is a Kate fug wannabe. With her body of work she was going to dominate the weaker competition of SMG.
Melissa and Joss was a thrilling match-up, in that both were even in their ablities to fug it up against one another. It was a difficult decision but I had to give it to Melissa. She is another former model who should have learned how to dress years ago and proves again and again that she learned nothing form those years spent in front of the camera. Fug advantage - George.
Just so you know, when I become a famous actress, you girls are TOTALLY becoming my personal stylists. If you don't mind. K'Thanks.
Posh is actually pretty damn fugly in general when you look at her, and she seemingly has a permanent broomstick up her a$$.
Kate Bosworth is mighty FUG, but how can anyone compete with Poshie-Poo????? Her secret weapon in winning any Fugging-With-The-Stars competition? Her powers lie in her two favorite accessories... those bolt-on, hard-as- her-heart fake breasts!
With those puppies, no matter how crazy anyone else is in the crowd, she still kicks their fannies!
Lucky for us she does manage to keep them partially covered most of the time, otherwise time as we know it would cease to exsist.
Johnny Depp is just a pocket full of wonderful. There ain't nothing fug about him. The worst in this particular bracket is Posh and Sienna Miller. You wear bathing suits on the beach, Sienna, not in a dining establishment.
Oh I agree about the Lagerfeld dialogues! Please, more!
Kate Moss has as much appeal as a hypodermic needle.
why is Carl so insane..he is such an enabler of mass fashion insanity. Step away from Hollywood Carl..take your driving gloved mitts away from the bedazzler and go have a Mai Tai for the love of god
I'm being blonde and confused...Am I voting for the better of the two or the worse?
The thing with both Kate and Sienna - they both have that unbathed, rode-hard-and-put-away wet look. Too much partying, too many ciggies, not enough actual food = leathery, unwholesome, prematurely aged-ness. And, oh yes, fug. Both look as if they smell of BO and skidmarks.
And with Kate, there is the Pete Doherty factor. As a commentor noted above, letting Pete Doherty into your orbit, let alone your ladyparts, will slime you with a miasma of ick forever and ever.
Johnny, meanwhile, makes actual movies I want to go see. And his wife is cute (not like Pete Doherty - again, how can you go from Johnny Depp to PETE DOHERTY??? Kate? KATE??? I asked you a question, Kate!)
I voted for Posh-even though she works it much better than most fug stars- because I want to see her and Bai Ling go at it. Its my most secret desire.
And c'mon SMG may miss a few times but she has pulled some hits off many more times than she has missed. I agree with everyone else's distaste for Sienna Miller.
As strangely as she dresses sometimes, I just could not fug Posh.
The most fugly, in your opinion.
Re: "Man, I get so tired of explaining this: Sienna's "granny panties as trousers" was a COSTUME FROM HER MOVIE. She wore them in honor of what's her name - the Factory Chick."
Oh, we know. I actually mentioned that in the piece. I just think it's essentially RIDICULOUS of her. Like, did KiKi Dunst attend parties dressed in her Marie Antoinette costumes? I just think it was a totally bizarre and attention-whorey thing to do, as well as being sort of strangely self-impressed.
I voted for Kate Bosworth over Posh because I think Posh actually pulls off her outfits---has really thought them through and committed to them, whereas Kate's outfits appear clueless and haphazard. I love the way Posh dresses---its crazy, but has a logic unto itself. Kate is just a mess most of the time.
I voted for Joss Stone because she's a beautiful, beautiful girl who invariably makes herself look horrible with poor wardrobe choices. Even though Melissa George looks objectively weirder, Joss has to work awfully hard to get herself to that level of fug.
Homeless pirates are hot.
When they're Johnny Depp.
And white satin formal shorts trump anything, in my book.
Except posh.
Can't fug Melissa George. Y'all do it incorrectly half the time anyway, the wrong outfits for the wrong reasons. I mean, I love y'all, and I'm a bigger Alias fangirl than both of you combined (and all your friends as well, I'd wager...I mean, hell, look at my assumed name...there IS a Thorne tacked onto it when a surname's required), but I think your bias is getting in the way, lol.
I DON'T KNOW WHO TO PICK, POSH OR KATE, AAARGH...I gotta pick Posh, she's made me laugh more, I guess.
Oh Posh. As a fellow Brit who remembers only too well your days as the least popular Spice Girl, your terrible brown lip-liner and your chubby cheeks, i can only say, you've come so far! (especially your boobs, which seem to have moved a good few inches in an upward direction). I would totally rather have a chinwag with posh than sienna any day of the week, as i really believe that posh has no idea quite how ridiculous she really is. and if she did she probably wouldnt even care! i say, keep going to the supermarket in LA in 5 inch heels and cocktail dresses - we salute you for it!
I love this contest so much. Besides being hilarious and reminding me of some of my favorite posts of all time (anything with Karl Lagerfeld, J.Lo posts written to Bennifer 2.0), it's distracting me from the fact that my real team (IU) is likely to lose in the first round tonight.
Either way, I think Posh or Chloe are in it to win it.
I'm not working today, Good Friday and all, and as a catholic I am upholding a long-held catholic tradition - drinking myself blind.
And damn you for making me spill my drink when I was blinded by Posh's dress. Jeebus Howard Christo, does that dress have batteries? Had to vote for her, even if I secretly wish I had the cojones to have a mad personal style and stick with it. Major dress. MAJOR.
I couldn't vote for Johnny, sorry. I see I wasn't alone. Apparently not many of us care what our hunky leading men wear, as long as they promise to drop it and show up in bed with what God gave 'em.
I feel the same way about Kate Moss and Sienna Miller. If they'd put down the drink/blow/skeevy fiancee and look in the mirror once in a while, they'd see that they look rediculous.
Posh to take it all?! Really?! I think Chloe has it in the bag. Who else could design a clothing line that could well be called SuperTramp Farmgirl other than Chloe... and then call it fashion forward!
Thanks for the hilarity ladies! My fiance has his bracket and I've got mine:).
What is with Sienna Miller? For some reason, when I see her on magazine covers, I have the vague sense that I've seen her before, but have no idea who she is. Freudian? Fortunate? An indication of her lack of charisma? Also, what is most offensive about her clothing is how utterly boring it is. Thoughts?
I simultaneously fear and adore Posh. Her self-important craziness is mesmerizing. I think she can win this.
I also found it impossible to vote for Johnny Depp. I can't even handle it when people speak ill of him. For some reason I'm very protective of Mr. Cry-Baby Walker.
You know, I was already slightly obsessed with your site, but now this madness has literally sent me over the edge.
I just wanted to make the side comment that I rarely visit boards like this, but even my limited experience requires me to pause with awe and wonder at how wonderfully articulate and sophisticated the Fug fans are. I see grammar! I'm see proper spelling and punctuation! I see a total absence of hostile vulgarity! I'm starting to worry that I died in the middle of reading paperwork, and I just hadn't noticed until now!
I think the Brits win this round hands down! Am sure there's a witty comment to be made, but it's entirely too early to do so.....
I LOVE Johnny for his crazy clothing (and also for his total hotness), no way I could ever vote against him. And I've been a long-time un-fan of Kate Moss and her 'style', so pooh to her.
how can sienna miller be ahead of sarah michelle gellar? i know the fug girls hate her- but a satin romper jumpsuit? really? that did it for me
Johnny Depp dresses like an insane homeless 19th century chimney sweep, but he gets a pass for being brilliant and talented. And gorgeous. Kate gets no such slack. In fact, she gets minus one million points for every day she spends with Pete Doherty. Personally, though, I'm holding my breath for a final fug battle between Sienna Miller and Bai Ling. Oh yes, people, there WILL be blood then...
My money's on a final showdown between Posh and Bai Ling.
And then? The world will end.
To my fellow Fug-Fan, MARIA KELSO:
The reasons you give for not voting for Posh are my very reasons that I did vote for her. She does actually plan her disasters ahead of time. Choosing just his shoe and just that push-up bra. It takes big bucks to look that Fug.
But, Bosworth... meh... you can pick her stuff up at the dumpster behind the local Good Will.
the butt ruffle wins.
why does Johnny insist on mixing his pretty with a shot of unshaved crazy?
I actually really like V-Beck's style. She makes it work. At least it's always flattering to her body (and her upwardly mobile cleavage)
Had to vote for Johnny because, although Kate Moss always looks like she rolled out of bed and put on whatever dirty crud she could pull off the floor, Johnny actually makes an effort and fails horribly.
I have a real issue with Posh's chaps. They're vestigial appendages. Chaps zip on the outside of the legs so that the inside of the legs are smooth for riding. It would be one thing if she was imitating a real look. She just had 10 pounds of dead cow hanging off her for show. I guess I'm just a literalist.
Johnny Depp is just weird anyway, and so I have to forgive him.
However, somebody needs to beat Sienna Miller in the head with a copy of "Vogue" until she stops moving. Mind you, SMG tends to dress as if she were channeling my 5th grade Barbie when I'd gotten bored of the clothes I had for her and started making dresses out of toilet paper. Still, Sienna "wins".
I'm feeling a strong Courtney v. Sienna final showdown, here.
I couldn't vote for Posh, because there's an inner brilliance to her fug. She is, above all, consistent. And while I had hitherto not considered Kate Bosworth's fug quotient, I am rather impressed with the inchoate nature of her body of work.
Sienna needs a "special" category... a frigging horse harness??!!! come on.
johnny depp? he's so unbelievably talented & gorgeous he can wear whatever he darn well pleases... tho i wouldn't hate it if he washed his hair now and then.
i have a soft spot for posh - i think she carries her outrageous choices off pretty well, all things considered... no one else on the planet could, but still - you gotta give her big props.
(contented sigh) i love you gfy girls.
How dare anyone fug Posh. It is deeply disrespectful of her celestial benevolence. You all better mind your p's and q's or she will aim the rays of cosmic retribution that shoot out of her eyes (they're invisible, don't bother trying to find them, but I assure you they are THERE) at you and you will QUAKE IN DIVINE FEAR OF HER HEAVENLY OMNIPOTENCE.
All of you have been put on notice.
Oh, and also? I had never seen the chaps before!
Heather, Jessica, while I am still working through my anger at you for ever fugging Posh in the first place--all her posts should be in the "Well-Played" category because nobody else on earth dead or alive comes close to the peerless elegance of that Karl Lagerfriend frock and you damn well know it--tiny trickles of forgiveness are coursing my veins because of the chaps. I could never thank you enough for the chaps.
I'm going to print it out and sleep with it under my pillow.
Ladies, ladies LADIES. Stop drooling over Johnny Depp and FOCUS.
Yes, he's pretty. Even I have retained my 21 Jump Street crush. But let's just face it, he's let us all down. He can't separate himself from his characters (Benny & Joon, Fear and Loathing, Pirates, Edward SCISSORHANDS for crying out loud...) and it's unacceptable.
Kate Moss and her diaper, I can live with. Years and years of Johnny "Cry Baby" Depp disappointment, I can't.
Johnny Depp supposedly owns a penthouse in my building, where the elevators are utter crap, so there is a chance that I might indeed get stranded in an elevator. He seems, however, to favor women who haven't eaten since 1st grade, which disqualifies me. However, given that he can dress like a homeless man and still prettier than...everybody, dearest Kate with her starvation cheekbones wins.
Speaking of: Kate versus Posh. Oh my. Both wear clothing/shoes that weigh more than they do. Both have inexplicable hair, entirely too often for most sane people's tastes. Posh accessorizes with with Beckham, handbags that cost more than I make in a year, and her pretty cute kids. Bosworth seems to accessorize with stuff she mugged off a homeless lady. I see a winner!
What are those things on Joss Stone's legs? They disturb me.
The Moss Depp match up would have been harder, but he smiles and she usually looks angry or high.
You ladies have made me love Posh. Don't cheer for yourself yet. All the pictures of formal shorts have made me look lovingly at satin shorts too.
PLEASE DROP EVERYTHING AND INVESTIGATE THIS!!
In an era where celubuladies can't wait to get knocked up so they can have their picture taken at that one, golden moment before voluptuousness turns into amplitude, Posh has like, what, 3 young kids? I mean, these kids were actually incubated in Posh's body, were they not? And dear Posh does love the flashbulbs, does she not? And yet, does there exist even a single photograph of a pregnant Posh? The absence of any such photographs is so un-fug that it just might tip the scales away from what would otherwise be certain victory in this competition.
I love Johnny Depp as much as the next gal but COME ON PEOPLE, WAKE UP TO REALITY! He looks deranged!
Intern George should stage an intervention.

Hear hear, Sarah.
Posh - she's just got something that Kate Bosworth can never hope to compete with. I'm developing a certain fondness for Her Posh-liness but it doesn't mean I won't vote for her fuggery.
Kate - yes, Johnny's a bit mad but, come on...It's Johnny Depp - who really cares what he's wearing. It's gotta be Kate Moss (who I've never really thought was that pretty anyway).
Sienna - the High Priestess of Fug...Seriously the woman is barmy - those tights with Anna Wintour, the hats, the horse bridle, the swimmers...the list goes on...And what is she famous for anyway???
Melissa - it looks like I'm in a minority here but being Australian, I have great (read: traumatised) memories of an outfit she wore to that Great Night of Antipodean Fugging, the Logies sometime in the 90s...It was sort of a Tudor mini-puff dress/balloon/cushion...For that, she will always be a Fug Queen
Posh will win. I say so because I know. I know because I put a curse on her for stealing both halves of my grapefruit. That was my breakfast, dammit.
can i just say that i absolutely love posh?! and i have an enormous crush on her husband (duh, who doesnt) but if given the choice, i would rather meet and share some champers with posh than with david. that's how much i love her. i've read her books and think 99% of what she wears looks fantastic on her... no, MAY-JAH on her.
so the only reason i fugged her is because i want her to stay in the bracket and continue to move up. she can't be beat out by lame kate bosworth, who used to be super cute in blue crush but then said no to eating.
i mean posh wears chaps!! i LOVE her!! i wish we could be friends. just like i wish i could hang out with the fug girls!
oh and girl who gave herself and her family's castle a shout out as the location of posh and becks' wedding, get over yourself. you should be thanking them, not saying posh is talentless trash.
wow....i am astonished at how many people love the posh! for me fugging her is a no brainer...she is one of the ugliest women i have ever seen, made even less attractive by her harsh haircut, bright orange skin, and razor blade anorexic cheekbones. she's probably got a bazillion dollars at her disposal for wardrobe & stylists, yet always manages to make her expensive clothing look as tacky as the wardrobe for 'showgirls'. she's like the high end version of c. peldon in her all her call girl glory. that she is so consistantly and carefully coordinated in her fug makes it even worse.
i actually like the green lace dress- total betsey johnson circa 1985- and i could see it on someone pale & pretty like zooey deschanel but NOT on someone who's unnatural skin tone completely clashes with the color of the dress!
Brilliant idea, Sarah. Brilliant! Intern George, always of the nattily dressed set, should indeed take a firm fatherly interest in trying to help Herr Depp. In fact, I'd go and help George and Johnny in the dressing room. I'm in!
No, really, it's not that I am blinded to Depp's many crimes against clothing just because he's so handsome. But Kate has just done so much to advance the cause of fugdom. Johnny somehow manages to look like a near-sighted member of the Sopranos family who just rolled out of bed. I agree, not a good look, not even on one so handsome.
But Moss has my vote because she's trying to spread her fugness through that foul Topshop line. At least Depp is satisfied with looking like an unshowered serial voyeur his own self without getting others to try the same. With that clothing line, Moss is like a fug evangelist looking for innocents to induct into fugdom. And to pay to join. Depp has no clue; Moss, OTOH, knows fug like my Grandma knows cookies, mes amis! No contest!
I am having the best time with this. I was just laughing so hard, I woke up my kids. Brava, Ladies! Thank god for the bat-shit crazy. Otherwise, what would we do with ourselves.
Yes, Posh can be orange. Yes, Posh makes some very serious fashion mis-steps. But, IMHO, she carries off more than she drops (e.g., if the neon green were kinder to her breasts, it would be a solid hit rather than a marginal miss). She may take the first round or two, but I think she loses big against HBC or J.Lo.
Looks like Kate will go toe-to-toe against her clone, Sienna. Well played on setting that up H&J!
There once was a stick called Posh,
Gowned peerless in fug by her dosh.
Her rival Miss Bosworth
Does little than unearth
That pneumatic Spice style that will quash!
Melissa George got my vote over Joss Stone, if only for the many years of service to Fug she gave to Australia during the 90's before she moved to America.
Who else would turn up to an award night dressed as an Xmas tree decoration?
Oh Posh. As a wise woman once said, "Posh is a relative concept". Another wise woman said, "No truly posh person can hear the word 'posh' without wincing". Implication: 'and would sooner die from multiple fish bites than adopt it as a nickname'. (She also said, "Bias cuts are very flattering for some figures" but that's not important right now.)
I live in a country where the only celebrites are a). footballers (soccer players, whatever) who sport their fug mostly in Europe, leaving behind their brother-in-law-driven yellow hummers as their only trace of fug, and b). wildly talented musicians whose style ranges from smart-businessman-next-door to toothless-dreadhead-next-door. Which is great if you want to catch a fantastic gig next door, but doesn't offer much to point and laugh at.
So thank you, GFY, from the bottom of my inadmissably shallow heart, for keeping me [please insert opposite of grounded] in the world of Fugly. The opportunity to cast a 'fug or fab' vote illuminates my otherwise fugless and sometimes overly-earnest existence.
Posh.......what can you say??? She probably has her own alternative universe where every body prays to her, and everyone has a shrine devoted to her in their homes where they worship that totally awsome photo of her wearing those chaps. She probably only comes down to earth so that she can make the world in awe of her presence and leave us speachless by her totally fug/amazing fashion choices. Her boobs are so amazing she can probably nock skinny bitch kate out using her left tit only. If she decided to dress up as a cup cake, she would not dress up as A cupcake(like kate)she would be THE cupcake. She would make a crown out of wipped cream and put a cherry on top, and be all "take that one kate, you are a mere ant in my presence that i will gladly squish with my 10cm heel! People bow down to me on my home planet, and earth shall do the same!! Kiss y prada covered feet!!
To sum it up, Posh has it in the bag
(forgive me if this is a double posting but) I love you. Letting me vote on the fuggliest makes me feel like I'm making a difference in the world.
I agree with C: Post has it in the bag.
I agree with C: Posh has it in the bag.
I actually really like V-Beck's style. She makes it work. At least it's always flattering to her body (and her upwardly mobile cleavage)
Had to vote for Johnny because, although Kate Moss always looks like she rolled out of bed and put on whatever dirty crud she could pull off the floor, Johnny actually makes an effort and fails horribly.
Posh over Kate-For the immobile soccer balls on her chest alone, Posh gets my fug vote. I've toyed with the idea of having a boob job myself and Posh's boobs are exactly what I do not want to happen to me. I kinda wanted to give Kate the vote in hopes that she would see that she is starting to look A.) as crazy as Sharon Stone and B.) Sharon Stone's age.
Kate over Johnny-I have never really found Kate Moss to be everything that fashion world has found her to be. She doesn't have any particularly unique features and she looks dead under the eyes to me. Plus, her hair is always ratty, she has permanent bitchface and I do not like her the ways she dresses either. This and the fact that I've been lovin Mr. Depp forever and found him to be sexy even when he's in the most ridiculous costumes for his movies and would find him sexy in anything helped Kate take the cake (which she'd probably snort before eating.) I just don't think Johnny can hide the sexy, no matter how hard he seems to try.
Sarah over Sienna-Like the way that Johnny can't hide the sexy, I feel that Sienna can't hide the skank and therefore, cannot help it so Buffy gets my vote.
Joss over Melissa-Joss's getups hurt me eyes.
I'm really going to need to see Posh and Bai Ling fight head to head FTW.
Posh is the Queen of Fug (Aretha Franklin please don't kill me). I love that she came out with a coffee table book on style mere weeks before she ended No. 1 on Mr. Blackwell's Worst Dressed List. She kills me.
Also, poor Joss Stone. I'm pretty sure no one likes her (including me). Then again, if you dress like that and miraculously misplace your British accent... Also, does she look like Chyna's slightly more feminine, yet still bizarre daughter or is just me?
If you held a Fug Awards Ceremony based on the results of this, Posh is the most likely to actually make a personal appearance (dressed as the personification of crazy) to collect her statuette.
Therefore, Posh to win.
Posh IS spectacular. She makes me very happy. Thank god she continues to dominate!
