Fug Madness 2008: Charo, "Elite Eight" Round

Oooh, this is a tough one indeed. Both their fugs are so unique.

MERCY!

I can't believe it's 50/50 right now. i think bai will take it.

The outcome of this poll could possible begin WWIII

my brain hurts. can it possibly be a tie?

You're kidding, right? Like, this is a contest? Chloe Sefugny may be nuts, may have questionable taste.... but this is Bai F'ing Ling. Please, people

The outcome of this poll could possible begin WWIII

At least Bai Ling looks sexy most of the time. Chloe just looks like she raided my 1989 closet. Not good.

Chloe all the way...

Bai takes it... all the way. She is simply too crazy to not win. I could look at photos of her fug all day long.

Chloe loses for me because she just tries way too hard.

The Sev has to take the whole enchilada in this competition. Though Bai Ling is a truly worthy competitor (this should be the final matchup in my opinion!), NO ONE can compete with Chloe's absurd fashions, haughty attitude about how amazing she thinks she looks, and her all-around fugness. She's trying to pass it on to all of us via her own fashion line, for fug's sake!! We must annoint her the Queen of Fug, and bow down before her awfulness. That is all.

I think in this match, you've got to factor intent - I think Bai Ling's a loon, so I have to go with Chloe. I think Chloe thinks she's an icon.

Chloe all the way, I can't believe Bai is beating her. Chloe usually looks dirty and like she's wearing clothes collectively from Value Village, The Salvation Army and grandma's closet. Bai is crazy but not smug like Chloe, I can't stand smug.

Bai gets my vote - the band aids put me over the edge.

Chloe gets my vote. Bai is the hot kind of crazy while Chloe is the scary kind of crazy.

Bai Ling gives me nightmares! She will always be far scarier to me.

I have to agree with Kathy-some people actually think that Chloe has some kind of edgy fashion sense, and we cannot let her get away with that! Bai Ling just doesn't know any better...

I think some people are voting for the one they like! I too would like to look at Bai all day, the angles, the nipples, the crazy hair, never boring. Chloe=boring and frustration because she does indeed think she's some sort of fashion genius. 'kay, I'm done now.

Bai all the way. With Chloe if you strip an element or two away with each outfit, it isn't so bad. But each and every piece of any of Bai's ensembles is... egregious.

But I suppose we should all be glad she actually wears SOMETHING to cover her girl parts (usually).

I agree with Steph. It's the smugness that makes me vote Chloe!

OH GOD. This is hard. I'm going for Chloe based on her new shiteous line of clothing (that wasn't a joke, right?).

wow, thats funny. chloe gets it wrong sometimes, but when she gets it right she gets it totally right. which she does, as far as i am concerned, in the leg warmers ensemble -- she looks great there! i love the style. bai ling looks like all of her outfits come from kmart. are you kidding people?

Oddly enough, you picked the two flavors of GS cookies I have devoured entire boxes of this week...

I have to go with Chloe. Bai Ling is fab trash, the Cher of the new millenium if she had any backstory or cultural significance. She wears crazy. But Chloe wears flat out, balls to the wall UGLY. On purpose. And with the petulant attitude of a teenager.

come on, bai wears band aids as an accessory... on her legs. hands down. it's only a matter of time before she designs a line for charlotte russe

plus, to the people who say bai ling is sexy -- really? i guess i thought there was a difference between not dressing and being sexy.

Yes, Bai-Ling is crazy, but everyone knows it. Chloe not only has actual cred amongst "fashionistas" but is now out there spreading the fug with her own collectio. Chloe gets my vote; Bai-Ling = humourous and harmless. Chloe = insideous and self-important.

I think that it is because Bai Ling is obviously crazy that she should not win this one -- Chloe is less crazy and therefore more consciously fug. She clearly intends to fug. So, Chloe should win based on principle - a crazy fug can't be held (as) accountable for her own fug-ness.

I got two words for you all: Band aids.

Chloe has to win, surely? She does this for a living; she is paid, PAID, to walk around looking like someone slapped her with a wet fish and think to herself 'I am a fashion genius. I am cutting-edge'.

People, we have a chance to send a message here. If Bai wins, do you think she'll take note? No, she is FAR TOO CRAZY. Sevigny, however: who else reckons she reads this site?

Hi Chloe! You're clothes are monstrous, and your 'fashion tips' in Elle are appalling. So I voted for you. Mwaaa x

I went for Bai, after looking through their archives. I wanted to go for Chloe before that, but... somehow Bai had more ridiculous outfits. Who'da thunk it?!

That video of Bai Ling dancing really pushed it over the edge for me. Go Bai!

Chloe.... She's just so darn smug... and messy looking. At least one of Bai's 17 personalities gets around to brushing her hair. Bai may be cray and very fug, but Chloe thinks her fashion sense is supreme and tries to force it on others as couture. Blech.

this almost gave me a massive headache, thinking too hard about it....but it came down to the Sev. She thinks she actually looks good - i think Bai KNOWS she looks like a crazed woman. She's Asian, they can get away with that stuff. (i realize that's racist as hell, but seriously, check out their clothes sometime...)

Bai is crazy, but Chloe looks worse. Chloe just looks BAD. Remember those big white-framed sunglasses that she sort of wore over her hair, like she didn't know how to operate sunglasses? What was that?

If the question was, "Who is more amusing?" then Bai would win. But the question is "Who is fuglier?" Chloe takes it handily.

As much as I hate what Chloe wears, I had to go with Bai on the strength of this: http://gofugyourself.typepad.com/go_fug_yourself/2005/05/unfug_refug.html (second outfit). For me, Chloe's style is very 80s (or at least what I picture the 80s to have looked like), while Bai flat-out has no style.

At least the Sev. can pretend she's high fashion. Bai's sole purpose in life is fuggery.

You all do realize that, if we don't stop her now, there is no way Ling can be stopped at the Final Four. She will take this whole thing, which will only encourage her and her 15 bazillion fug-ass personalities to persist in their torture of our retinas. WE MUST STOP HER NOW!

Besides, nothing beats the Sev's chinny smugness (thank you, Fug Girls, for that apt go-to description!) for pure fug.

Nice work, ladies, coming up with NEW, WORSE ensembles. Who knew such a thing (let alone two each) even existed. Yikes.

I don't know if I can even vote in this one.

Chloe's worse because she expects to be taken seriously. I blame society.

To me, this is not hard at all. Bai Ling = crazy fug but at least she is not forcing it on the world with a clothing line... At least not yet.

Y'know, Bai has a style. A slutty, tacky, headache-inducing style, but I've always had this nagging thought that it really kinda works for her.

Chloe, on the other hand. Her style, if it is such, does NOT work for her. To me, this is the truer fug.

My head. My aching head. Which is worse? Chloe's unbelievable smugness? Or the fact that Bai has clearly tied something to her legs in the second photo? That Chloe has a fashion line, in defiance of all common sense? That Bai somehow can legitimately be described as "famous"?

In the end (and I never thought I would say this), I have to go with Chloe. Nobody could ever possibly be fooled into wearing what Bai wears. (Please, universe, don't teach me humility by proving this statement wrong.) But certain twits in the fashion industry apparently covet Chloe's attention (a certain fashion line that rhymes with "Mimitation of Chlist" springs to mind), so people might actually be fooled into trying to look like her. Hence, my vote for her.

If Bai and Chloe were smart, they would merge their yummily crazy flavors and create a whole NEW cookie with which to SWEEP the sweeps! Enter, the ChloLing: mint flavored coconut covered in chocolate with a crunchy center of shenanigans.

Chloe, without a doubt. She's...awful. Just, TERRIBLE.

Yet Bai's winning. Sigh. First Peldon loses, and now Chloe? I am distressed at people's ability to tell a true fug!

I voted Chloe because, well, besides from the pages of GFY, I don't even know who Bai Ling is or what she has done for humanity (if the "entertainment arts" are considered humanitarian). I suppose I should wiki her, but I don't want it to ruin the thought that she rose to corporate red carpets on fugness alone...and the reason I did not vote for her: she knows she is nothing without her fug. For me, fugness is a mixture of many things...a certain cocktail of passion, ambivalence, ego, esteem, and a slight twinge of insanity. Bai Ling is working on insanity alone. The true fuggers think they're hot enough to start a trend or at least the frontrunners of relatively new trends. For me, Bai Ling is just clowning around...something that most of us are capable of doing. I am giving it to Chloe because she thinks she is the shit. She thinks she is inspiring the likes of the indy world and she legitimately thinks she's fashion's it girl and well, Chloe dear, you lose.

Chloe... the clothes are equally fug, but the facial expression wins my vote. It is somehow both smug and dejected.

I must vote before reading the comments, or I could never make up my mind. You're all RIGHT!

A Bai Ling clothing line, eh? Hmmm... it could be called "By Bai", and an entire week's worth of gauzy, meshy, see-through, too-short, nipple-exposing clothes could fit into a clutch! Brilliant...

*Band-aids sold separately.

It's gotta be Chloe. Bai has a campy sensibility and revels in her own bonkers. Chloe is just so goddamned studied and self-serious and arch. That's more fugly to me.

i vote chloe b/c she wears fur

I don't think Bai takes herself seriously at all. It's all part of the role she plays, and she's in a perpetual dress-rehearsal. Chloe, on the other hand, thinks herself the queen of avant-garde. Girlfriend is in dire need of a wake-up call!

Bai Ling. Cloe. I feel like Faye Dunaway in Chinatown.Mother,sister, Bai, Cloe! I can't decide, I just can't. (Breaks down sobbing). I am just going to close my eyes and click. Both are equally fug-worthy.

It's gotta be The Sev. Bai Ling is a crazy naked nutjob, but at least she looks like she's trying to have fun with her style. Also Ling smiles, something Chloe might want to look into. Chloe's ensembles, plus her vow never to smile, make her come across as a self-important, smug, pretentious, gloomy, "Can't You See I'm An Artist?" pain in the ass.

bai ling is just trying to be outrageous....i don't think that counts as much as someone who is trying to make an actual fashion statement, like my beloved chloe. she's behind now, but she'll pull ahead yet! go chloe, go!

I can't believe people actually make the clothes that these two wear. And I will say again that I am bitterly disappointed that these two are up against each other so early. They should have been the final two! Grr.

Definitely Bai - this one was easy!

This one is, by far, the hardest to call. As said above, it really should have been the final matchup. Bai is batshit crazy. Chloe is also nuts. It's a matter of which one is actually "fuggier".

Based on the available evidence, it seems to me that Bai Ling is the winner. She revels in her fug. She's always smiling (except when arrested for shoplifting) and she seems like someone who might have a sense of humor about what she wears. But Chloe is just a crosspatch. One of the crabbiest looking people ever.

I'm going with Bai. She would appreciate it.

I have to vote for Bai on the sheer diversity of fug. No two fugs are the same! Whereas Chloe tends to just look like a tragic 80's high schooler every time.

Chloe may be smug, but Bai is the fruity essence of Fug Nasty.
It's Wayward Experimental vs. Simulated Child Prostitute.
Only one is a world scourge. Think of the children...Bai Ling takes the Fug Pudding.

Sweet Jesus, behold two of the masters. Imagine if you merged these two closets, would the walls belch? Despite Bai's bizarre, naked, and wildly proud fug, though, I have to go with Sefugny, as the real deal breaker for me was that migraine inducing fashion line. The clothes were bad, the poses, worse!

At least Bai doesn't have her own line of clothes... yet.

I'm going to have to go with Chloe on this one. She seems to actually be interested in fashion (reference the hideous fashion line) and tries really hard to be different and innovative.

Bai's clothes might be more ridiculous, but she just seems to want attention and she always seems to be having fun with her clothes.

Chloe. She is crazy as a shithouse rat, and she has her own line of fug. The Sev FTW!!!!

Oh, this is the hardest one yet. After agonizing, I have to go with Chloe as she has deliberately inflicted her style on the public with her "collection." She also seems to think she is a fashion icon.

I think Bai dresses this way solely for attention (a la '80s/'90s Sally Kirkland at the Oscars), so I'm going with the 'vig.

Bai is basically an even more extreme version of Phoebe Price - she dresses bonkers because otherwise no one would no who the hell she was. Chloe all the way!

I will admit that I was torn on this one. But then I remembered: Chloe has decided to force her fug upon the rest of us with her clothing line. That kind of unspeakable evil outweighs all photos of all of Bai's fugishness combined.

I will admit that I was torn on this one. But then I remembered: Chloe has decided to force her fug upon the rest of us with her clothing line. That kind of unspeakable evil outweighs all photos of all of Bai's fugishness combined.

At least we don't have intimate knowledge of Chloe's private parts.

Chloe gets my vote. Her pretentious nature. Her attitude of being better than anyone else. Her dreadful fashion sense. The fact she thinks she can tell women how to dress! At least Bai Ling sometimes, (but rarely,) can pull off what she's wearing. Chloe never can.

Tough call, but I have to go with Chloe. Didn't she give some director a beej on camera in some self-indulgent "film project" of his? Totally FUG.

Vote Chloe! Vote Chloe!
Bai is too fabulously crazy to win, whereas Chloe's pretentiousness makes me hurl. Please people, do not forget Chloe's heinous fashion line. That alone should have her storming to victory!

I'm gonna go with Chloe just because she seems like a smart girl, like she should know better. Plus, her status as a "fashion icon" implies that she's in a position to spread that fug around. Bai is just a dumb ho. No finesse.

c'mon! sev IS SMUGFUG and now her fug is reaching dangerous levels in the form of a fashion line!!!

i think the B'ling is coocoo, but she's FUN coocoo...and fun fug doesn't beat smug fug.

Tough call, but I have to go with Chloe. Didn't she give some director a beej on camera in some self-indulgent "film project" of his? Totally FUG.

To my mind, Bai Ling works the fug. Her outfits are horrific, and yet she has style (albeit of a magnificently dreadful variety). There is a relentlessness about Bai Ling's outfits that requires recognition.

Chloe, on the other hand, usually goes out looking like a victim of a bad practical joke. Whether the joke is on her or on us, I'm never entirely sure.

Bai Ling is like an intersection of trash, glamor, and CRAZY. Chloe is more like the intersection of CRAZY, ugly (I just mean the clothes, people, the Sev herself is pretty enough), and depressing.

What it comes down to is that Bai Ling puts a smile on my face, which is what I personally think classic fug should do. Chloe just makes me think about poking my eyes out with a knitting needle.

Go Bai!

Bai all the way. She's so gross. Chloe is kooky, but Bai is so much worse.

I gotta go with Chloe, the reason being that I think Bai Ling dresses the way she does for attention (which in my book does not necessarily equal fug - it just equals someone who wants people to look at them for the shock value), whereas Chloe dresses the way she does WITH the full knowledge that along the way some (arguably) misguided people have lauded her as a "fashion icon". Not to mention the whole Imitation of Christ debacle. I feel like she should know better. It is kind of like the Spiderman line - "With great power comes great responsibility". If you are the creative muse for a major design house, you should maybe stay the heck away from the high-waisted pants/shorts, frilly dresses over black turtlenecks, legwarmers, etc.

Allow me to share the following exchange between me and my roommmate:

Me (showing her the series of photos from the Sev's line): This stuff is awful. How does anyone get away with this?
Roommate: That's not ugly. It's just hipster.
Me (in disbelief): What? What about THIS?
Her: Hipster. She's a fashion icon.

That, my dears, is why you would be totally insane-o-matic not to vote for Chloe. We cannot let this deception continue. Bai is batty, but Chloe gets taken seriously, and this is why she embodies the spirit of fug. She must be punished for her arrogance!

VOTE CHLOE!

My head is going to explode. This should be the final match up. How can I pick who is fuggier? They are both nuts.
I think that CS' clothing line will probably push me over the edge - she's not containing it to herself. Now if Bai started to sell "clothing" (or kleenex depending on your views), that would be very upsetting.

So close! I voted Bai Ling but only cause she tends to be more icky.

I was about to vote for Bai Ling, but after reading a couple comments--the fact that Chloe thinks she's a fashion icon gets her my vote.

This was a toughie... but had to vote for Bai. I have an inexplicable soft spot for C. Sev.

Bai Ling all the way. You know what I like about Bai? She may be crazy but she truly seems like she is being herself and enjoying life in her fugly clothes. She doesn't take herself too seriously. Chloe, on the other hand, always looks so damn serious. It is as if she truly thinks that wearing ugly clothes day in and day out is some kind of statement of her individuality, when really she just needs to stop getting dressed in the dark. How dare she try to make people pay money to look as bad as she does.

More like Princess Catsuit Cameltoe.

Dressing like a lunatic is the only way that Bai Ling gets attention (I mean really, has she ever even DONE anything?). But Chloe actually thinks that this stuff looks good - and that's a far worse infraction.

Vote Chloe!

Oh my god-- we're truly deadlocked here! Do our by-laws state who will cast the tie-breaking vote?

CHLOE. Has to be. The attitude is just the kicker. Bai at least seems to have a sense of humor about her clothes. Chloe takes her fashion "sense" way too seriously.

Okay, PEOPLE!

Bai should take this for one simple reason: she's a nightmare. As in, something made up in a bad dream. At least you can recognize at least one piece of each outfit Chloe wears. Aha! I recognize a coat! Yes! A real, actual coat!

Whereas with Bai, we're left turning to computer screen at strange angles so we can try to figure out what exactly it is that she's wearing. I think she closes her eyes, takes cloth and scissors, cuts randomly, then inserts her head through the biggest hole.

Finally, BAI IS QUEEN OF NIP-SLIPS. or not-slips, depending on the case.

CHLOE CANNOT BEAT REGULAR, PURPOSEFUL BOOB EXPOSURE.... it amazes me that Bai's fug is strong enough to expose what doesn't even exist.

Oooh, tight race! Bai FTW!

I know I'm using my own made-up logic here, but there's something distinctive and interesting about Chloe's outfits. They're ugly, sure, but so were the outfits worn by Cyndi Lauper. She's memorable, recognizable, and because she's not anyone but herself...don't hate me...stylish.

Bai Ling is just playing dress-up. She's fug.

Bai's fug is just a smutty 11-year-old, high on acid, playing dress-up from the dumpster behind the neighborhood whorehouse.

Chloe's fug is intentional, serious, self-conscious, self-satisfied. She actually means it... My vote to Chloe.

Come on, people. Which is the greater sin: To fug and have everyone laugh, a la Bai, or to fug and have designers and starmakers crown you a sartorial genius and yes, a FASHION ICON, a la the Sev?

CHLOE ALL THE WAY.

Chloe totally takes the cake here, if only for her insufferable air of superiority that she wears as prominently as the pure fug that is her heinous clothing.

Oh it has to be Chloe! She's such a smug twee nitwit! That so called fashion line is what put me over the edge. I think Bai smirks the whole way but the Sev is serious!

I voted for Chloe as payback for the many, many, many magazine articles touting her "influential style" and "creativity," when they really should be pointing out how wacked out her style is. Catsuits? High-waisted anything? Heatherette? I rest my case.

Wow, the voting is even now, 49/50.
I can't help but consider their personalities.
Sevigny wins. She seems to think that she looks amazing, which is fine really. Delusions are nice, and each to her own. But style icon? No. God no. She also seems insufferable and pretentious.
Bai Ling embraces the crazy. She dresses like a stoned club-kid. Its her thing. I've seen several loony elements in alternative clubs that she also wears, altough those clubbers usually look better. I would probably have loads of fun with her at Tech Noir :P

CHLOE ALL THE WAY! She's destined for victory. I believe the perpetrator has INTENT and she's trying to turn it into a conspiracy with her own line. I echo the comments above about attitude, effort, etc.! People, she's really TRYING here. Reward her efforts! VOTE FOR CHLOE!

Bai Ling is really just an exhibitionist. She's not trying to look fashionable, she's trying to look hot. (ugh. it hurts to even type "hot" in the same sentence with her name.) It's also worth noting that her underwear dress is being worn at a Playboy event, which almost renders it a classy choice.

CHLOE ALL THE WAY!

I disagree with the nip slip argument. If that was the case Tara "look at my boobs they're hanging out and it will take me approximately an hour, 2 drinks and a billion paparazzi screaming 'whoo-hoo' to make me aware that something is amiss" Reid would have taken this whole thing. That said, Bai all the way. The fug is strong with both of them but as the Fug Girls so lovingly put it, she's (coco)nuts plain and simple. Also, I like Samoas.

Bai is just an act, Chloe thinks she is legit. If fug were about fun, everyone would be dressing up like clowns. Fug is (for me) about knocking people off their high horse. Chloe you're going down!

I laughed so hard at that second picture of Bai, that I almost cried. What is that, prehistoric formalwear? Her fuggery is beyond brilliant...

I'm in the "intent counts" camp. Bai Ling's clothes are *inherently* fugglier, but she's doing it to get attention and be fugly -- and insane, of course. Sev thinks she's cool and edgy and creative and that she *deserves* the attention.

Mocking Bai is an an amusing game; mocking Sev is the only thing preventing the downfall of civilization.

Too close to call. I can't believe that either of them truly exisits!

I had to vote Chloe. Bai may look kookier on the surface, but I get the impression that she revels in her craziness, whereas Chloe actually thinks she's trendy and fabulous. Her haughtiness pushes it over for me.

Chloe! I just voted for her and she's at 49! We have GOT to take her smug ass down.

The fact that Bai Ling experiences frequent wardrobe malfunctions that result in partial nudity puts her over the top. The Sev is severely fug, but she keeps her pants on. That's a good thing. Which is why Bai is soooo bad, and must prevail in this evil showdown.

Oh, glorious day. The Sev seems to have pulled ahead.

Seriously, folks. The woman is accorded respect for her fashion sense, admittedly by people whose medications need to be titrated. But STILL. Nobody asks Bai Ling for fashion tips. (I hope.) This is our chance to strike a blow for common sense, and a little humility.

And yes, to answer someone's question, the Sev did perform a beej (love the euphemism) on Vincent Gallo (!) in "The Brown Bunny." So, let's all accord the proper respect to her for performing the particular bit of "acting" and to him for filming it.

I can't decide mostly because unlike a lot of my fellow bracketers I don't see any different in intent in either of these two. They both want to attract attention via their fugly clothes. One goes the hipster fashionista route (vile) and the other goes down the stripper clown route (also vile.) This contest is tearing at my heart and I don't know what to do.

OMG THIS IS SO CLOSE!!!! I drool with anticipation.

This is VERY HARD, but even though Chloe has shown up looking cute once or twice (which is once or twice more than Bai), I had to vote for Chloe. Bai Ling is deliberately being outrageous in a desperate bid for attention. Chloe Sevigny, I think, is operating under the delusion that she actually looks good in this crap. Delusion = always fuggish.

Well I just voted and Bai was 1 point begind C-Sev. This is WAR OF THE FUG WORLDS. I agonized over the decision for at least 15 minutes, weighing the options ever so carefully...

Fug girls, you have no idea of how this bracket biz has upset my applecart.

I have Chloe to win this whole thing.
I'm going to be watching this poll like a hawk all day.

ahhh people, if skin-showing is a tie-breaker then Britney would be in the competition...and we can't poke fun at the criminally insane!

I had to vote for Chloe because she is sane, she just dresses very very fugly. (can fugly be an adverb? yes!) Bai is actually certifiable. I've seen her interviewed and she thinks she comes from the moon. You need to cut people with mental problems some slack.

Heavens to Sparkly Legwarmers, This is a (fake glittery neon) NAILBITER! Could the 10,000 rest of you vote already and get it over with?

If Bai doesn't win this one - then this time I really AM moving to Canada!

Its close but I had to go with Chloe just because of the jumpsuit. I dont need to see anyone's coo-bump. Its so gross and if you are going there, I'd rather just see the whole thing- which is Bai's area of expertise.

Man, I thought I would vote Bai Ling, but I was so offended by Chloe's ridiculous bitchface that I had to vote for her. She's fucking with us, she has to be. Those clothes are hideous by any estimation. Bai Ling's are, too, but she always seems so happy and smily. It's Chloe for me. (when I voted, it was exactly 50/50! So exciting!)

Crimeny-that hurt my head.

It must be Chloe! It must be Chloe! It all comes down to who takes themselves seriously while at the same time perpetrating that kind of fug...

Excuse me, I'm off to vote another 9,999 times... :-)

I chose by trying to imagine either of them in non-fug outfits. I recalled one quiet chic ensemble on Chloe - it was something monochromatic and cashmere, really, I remember. I can not come up with a non-fug visual for Bai Ling.
Also, Chloe is doing it on purpose, to mess with everyone - her fug is very conscious. I think Bai Ling is just a little crazy, I do not think she sees the fug.

OMG so hard. I chose Bai because I like Chloe so much better and I think she has style overall.

It must be Chloe! It must be Chloe! It all comes down to who takes themselves seriously while at the same time perpetrating that kind of fug...

Excuse me, I'm off to vote another 9,999 times... :-)

A monumental match-up...had me choosing with thoughtful deliberation - which turned to hilarity when I saw the 50-50 result.
Thanks for the good laugh!

OMG! Such a close race!

Bai Ling for sure. C'Mon Bai, take her down!

Holy crap, I can't believe how close this one is! I totally voted for Bai Ling on account of the fact that she is by far the craziest person on the entire site (sorry, Peldon), but die Umlaut put up a good fight. I nearly changed my mind on the strength of the catsuit alone.

Chloe gets my vote because she takes herself so seriously that it just makes her look even crazier. AND she unleashed that AWFUL clothing line on us.

Bai is just nuts, and she always looks like she's having fun with it, and as atrocious as her wardrobe is, I can't fault a girl for being ridiculous.

Bai brings a smile to my face, whereas I just want to smack Sevigny around.

I voted for CS. At least BL has some awareness of her ridiculous little act, but CS takes herself and her 'style' so seriously - she is chic, avant-guard, rule-breaking - that I am literally repulsed at her whole act. At least I look at Bai and smile while shaking my head.

I had to go for chloe 'cause I hate her and 'cause I don't believe in wearing animal fur! Bai was pretty horrible too though.

OMG it's so close. I had to pick Chloe. It's a personality thing... I always prefer "crazy and trampy" to "crazy and frumpy".

Its gotta be Chloe. She DESIGNS fug, for God's sake. Bai Ling is merely an interpreter of the fug. Besides, Chloe takes herself too damn seriously with her smug smirk. Love her on Big Love, but she's fug to the max (said only in the spirit of those leg warmers).

Talk about a close race!
I had to vote for Bai -- once in a great while, the Sev wears something that's actually kinda cute.
However, at least Bai looks happy and wears a smile (slightly mitigating factor) while ChloSev is nothing but unmitigated BITCHFACE.

It's neck and neck! Clearly a tough decision for us all. Chloe wins in my book because her fug is always coupled with hostility.

C'mon, it's gotta be Bai. Think of all the times she's proudly shown off her lady parts.

Chloe is a special passenger on the crazy train. She is smug, full of herself, and people really think that she is well dressed. She actually has a public and should be held responsible. Who is Bai Ling but some delicioulsy misdressed misfit? People who are not slaves to this site, like me, have no clue who she is. You can actually catch Chloe on TV. (Anyone else think Chloe and Bai are great names for twins) Chloe wins!
The End

If this is what the Elite Eight looks like, the Championship match may actually melt my brain with fugness.

--> MEG

you read my mind!

Chloe has got to be the most deserving of a great, shiny Fug Crown on top of her cue ball head based not only on her clothing choices, but also on her attitude and the fact that through her clothing line she is actively trying to inflict her own brand of Fug upon the world at large. She has got to be the Queen of Fug. Vote Chloe!

This is heartrending.

On the one hand, Chlo. Sev. is a producer, as well as a consumer of fug. She foists fug onto others. Poor unsuspecting hipster kids are drawn into her web of fug and horror.

On the other hand, BAI LING! And when I say "on the other hand," I mean something more like "on the other bright green alien tentacle dripping with unidentifiable ooze."

whoa. this was tough! it shows in the results now which are tied! holy shiz! go bai go!

Why isn't there third option - "BOTH"?!
Who to pick?!
*combusts from unnatural brain activity*

p.s. Although I voted for Bai. Chloe is an ugly-dresser, but he pretends to be all indie and bohemic, and underground, and whatever still more independant and intellectual than You, but Bai... Bai is just plain CRAZEEEEEE.

This is nailbitingly close! Bai only 86 votes behind the Sev! We need Walter Cronkite to bring us these returns!

I still can't get over the fact that Chloe thinks she is stylish... and worse, so do some style writers!! People, do you have EYES? It has to be the Sev, I think she'll take the whole thing out on the 7th.

Bai is probably best described as "mostly harmless." She's nutty in her own little world, and she always looks perfectly happy to be here and insane and wearing a tutu made of penguin feathers or whatever.

Chloe actually dresses like that and thinks we should all be trying to look just like her. And looks grumpy that not enough people have bowed to her fashion-holiness. She's definitely the fuglier and more dangerous of the two.

Chloe actually tries to sell her clothes for others to buy... Bai just hurts herself

This was probably the hardest choice, but I had to go with Chloe. Everyone knows that Bai is crazy, but Chloe is actually known (at least in some circles) for being fashionable. She has her own clothing line, for fug's sake.

Best..contest...ever.

Chole better win. Her fugly and befuddling way of dressing (and how some people actually admire it) is what brought me to this very site a year ago.
If Chole doesn't take this one...
I'll be even more confused now than before.

Bai - we know that girl is just nuts.

And Chole's excuse is...??

This is the real final. Whoever gets this is going to take it all.

I agree with many above. I voted for Chloe because she takes her fug so damn seriously. It's like she thinks she's helping us poor commoners understand fashion.

Bai is just having fun. All of her outfits remind me of when my college roomates and I would sometimes get drunk, put on the weirdest outfits we owned and wander around Wal-Mart. Only in Bai's case, the whole world is her late-night Wal-Mart.

Bai is just crazy people. The Sev ACTUALLY THINKS THIS LOOKS GOOD. And she's marketing it to other people. C'mon!

Aaghghg, too hard. I have been cheating in these past hard rounds by reading the comments and having them help me decide between the two fugs, but these just make it harder - so many good points, so much fug! What do I do?

I feel that Cloe and Bai are two entirely different flavours of fug. Bai is simply crazy, but Cloe thinks she can dress, and has actually launched a clothing line, comprised entirely of The Fug Girls List of No-No's.
Out of all of Bai Ling's many photo-ops, she doesn't express a sartorial care in the world. Her fashion approach appears to involve closing her eyes, pulling out the first thing her hand reaches in a random mixed bag of clothes and wearing it.
Cloe's interest in fashion implies she does care - but we haven't seen evidence of this. Cloe wins the fugly contest - I wouldn't confuse it with the Code Orange Crazy that is Bai.

While both are crazy, only Chloe is actually forcing her fashion "sense" upon the public by releasing a clothing line. So my vote goes to Ms. Sevigny.

It's 50% Chloe to 49% Bai! Is that even possible?

I vote Bai because of the band-aids. It just too much...I agree with whoever said that Bai just cut random holes and stuck her head through the biggest one.

How do you choose between Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream and Neapolitan Dynamite? I usually just buy a pint of each, but if you force me I'm going to choose Bai Ling and Neapolitan. Curse you!

OMG. This might all come down to Florida!

OK, so with Bai Ling we have:
1) the Bo-peep wig paired with a flyaway teddy made of pink buddhist prayer flags
2) the NETFLIX costume
3) Bai dressed as a Giorgio perfume box
4) Bai accessorizing with blue leg warmers and... a PELDON. Dudes. Dudesses. She is clearly toying with us.

Now, looking at Sev we have:
1) the black and white curtain dress that nearly blinded me
2) the doily hat
3) OMG, I can't look any more. Her outfits somehow combine a dirtiness and dullness that alliteratively evokes dishwater. Then, when she tries on some color for a change, one always wishes she hadn't, because it's gaudy and looks like it belongs on an 80's junior high schooler trying to look like a nighttime soap star at Winter Formal.

If Chloe Sevigny doesn't define fug, I don't know what does. Case closed.

In an earlier bracket, one commentator mused, "Doesn't the F in 'fugly' stand for FABULOUS?" Well, if it did, I'd vote Bai. Yes, fabulous! in that special kinda-underaged-hooker, kinda-Tinkerbell, all-the-way crazy Our Lady of the Band-Aids way. Part of me loves her and sees the Crown of Fug as an *honor* and wants Bai For The Win. (Especially after I learned she's actually *acted*. On CAMERA, peoples. Damn! Who knew!)

But then I scroll through the Chloe archives, and ... ugh .. a whole 'nother F comes to my lips. Fuhhhh-gleee! so my vote must go ... to the woman who looks like David Lee Roth in oversized white shades, Ms. Sefugny.

This is how I decided this one:
I did the whole holding my hands in the air like scales thing and said "Bai. Chloe. Bai. Chloe" Then it hit me!
Bye Chloe!
Bai Ling gets the vote! Another job well done!

It has to be Chloe for me: people actually think this woman is a fashion icon, and she runs around with this snooty look on her face that says, "Yes, people, I am a better dresser than all of you," all the time -- FUG, FUG, FUG!!!

I chose to abstain from voting. I cannot choose. This is the first pairing that I absolutely cannot choose between. This is the Sophie's Choice of GFY.

Chloë Sevigny IS fug. It's meditated, coldly clinical, brazen fashion conjunctivitis. It's not fugliness in lieu of real talent, uniqueness, actual charisma, stardom, youth or sanity, because she has all that - unlike really any of the other frequent offenders. She gives off the vibe that she really, truly doesn't care what anyone thinks, and that wherever she wants those hideous clothes to take her, she's already there and fug you.

There's no one else that should win this.

As every fug is becoming tougher and tougher, my strategy for choosing, is this...
I say to myself, "If I had to wear an outfit befitting for Christmas dinner, and I have to choose between Bai Ling's outfit or Chloe's..." And I force myself to choose, I find I choose Chloe's wardrobe over Bai's. Therefore, Bai is the supreme fug in this round.

Oh, and thanks ladies for reminding me of THE FUGLIEST accessory of all: Vincent Gallo. Chloe can NOT be forgiven for that one.

Chloe Sevigny FTW because she thinks we're all idiots for thinking her outfits suck.

Chloe just always looks so damn serious and condescending, like, "You are just to plebeian to understand what I'm doing with this look." I think that elevates her fug above the good-natured kookiness of Bai's look.

Damn, Neighborhood Librarian beat me to it!

The fact that Sev is bringing her fug to the masses sealed the deal for me.

It's got to be Chloe! Sure, Bai Ling is batshit crazy, but no one looks up to her fashion sense, right? People (I'm looking at YOU, Bunnyshop girl) routinely refer to Chloe as a "fashion icon." An icon! As if she's in the same category as Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly. Puhlease!

morgan: Dude, how to choose between Chloe and Bai Ling
manders: oh shit
manders: i hate chloe more
manders: since she's a "fashionista"
manders: nobody ever called bai ling a visionary
morgan: I do too, plus she always seems so discontent
manders: and she looks like a man
morgan: bai ling is always having wacky batty fun in her crazy getups
manders: boy do i ahte her face
morgan: me too
manders: bai ling just suffers of skankdom, but chloe's crimes against fashion are of epic proportion
morgan: its true
manders: i feel as though this conversation should be pasted into the "comments" section
morgan: hehee
manders: is there anything better tahn a turkey & brie sandwich?
morgan: I can think of few things indeed. The coffee shop down here has a brie and green apple sandwich on toasted sourdough that is so wrong
morgan: but I dont wanna be right

While I may say, "Never change, Bai Ling, my little butterfly." I know she's dressing like an accident on purpose. I only know her from her (over)exposure on GFY. I enjoy when she shows up, but I don't miss her when she's gone.

Chloe on the other hand, has a real acting career, and her clothes actually detract from her image. Therefore, she's a constant accident. We'll be enjoying her fugs for years to come. Fug reigns eternal!

You know what I realised with all this talk about Bai Ling's girl bits... where the F is Lil' Kim in this competition?

Oh and Bai all the way.

I really don't want to encourage Chloe's continued delusion that her insanity is actually some progressive, outre, fashion brilliance. Often, I find she makes me nauseated. Bai just makes me giggle. Thusly, I must vote for Bai Ling, whom I always fervently wish will appear at every single red carpet and opening in Hollywood. Rarely, does she let me down. Viva La Bai!!!

Bai Ling's occasional bits of fabric are nothing more than a cry for help, where Chloe is clearly, deeply, madly & badly dressed. Fashion as social weapon.

Sorry Bai Ling, I love your brand of crazy - Chloe, you win.

Chloe.

B. Ling wants it too bad.

"She clearly intends to fug" - thank you, Lora! You summed it up for me perfectly, and justified my vote for Chloe. I find Bai Ling entertaining as all-get-out - when the cameras found her at the Oscars this year, first thing I thought was, "Oh, there she is - did she bring the crazy?" (camera pans down) "YES, YES she did!" Long may her personalities prosper . . .

This might be the hardest one yet, but I think it's got to be Chloe in the end. She's so sure that she's IT that it makes me want to puke. Bai Ling is just crazy mad. Plus, I occasionally see a picture of her where she looks ok. That never happens with Chloe. The Sev to win!

Wow. This is the first one I've had true difficulty with. I'm going with Chloe because I think she's serious about the messed up stuff she wears, whereas Bai is just having fun. Plus, a frown, which Chloe always seems to wear, adds to the fug. At least Bai smiles a fair amount of the time.

Not to mention, I am opting for the "voting as an honor" method of fug-selection. I hope the winner is a Supreme Diva Goddess of the Fug who will wear her crown proudly, with gold-sequined hotpants and unnatural skin tone. Not some misguided attention-whore who spends way too much time looking at herself in the mirror, telling herself that she doesn't care what people think of her, because they'll never understand her brilliance.

A Titan against a Titan!!

I have agonized over this one for weeks, my friends. We knew this was coming. It was inevitable, like the sun rising in the east. So here we are: Fug-a-Fug. Such epic battles wring great sacrifice and glory to the winner, but nobility to the loser as well. The Odyssey is mere posturing by comparison to the Bai and the Sev.

We who look on, we who can never aspire to heights of fugdom as this, are filled with awe.

In the end, I find that horrible grey jersey jumpsuit inspires me, normally a phlegmatic woman, to grab the Sev's cig and burn her with it. That is true fug artistry for the ages.

This is too tough. I love both because of their fugliness though I will admit Bai is more bold with it.

Are you kidding? Chloe has done some questionable movies, but only Bai has done this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wf25z1kxxkA. *Shudder*

CHLO-E! CHLO-E! CLOH-E! come on folks, chant with me!
Bai Ling is a candy-coated, whirling dervish of lightly-toasted nudity from outerspace. But she's kind of fun, too, isn't she. Chloe makes herself uglier than she has to be and makes me depressed. And so my mirror on the wall declares CHLOE to be the Fugliest of Them All.

If Chloe Sevigny is classical music fug -- can take itself a bit too seriously, but you more or less know going in what you're in for -- then Bai Ling is jazz fug, all free-flowing improvisation, and apt to shoot off in all directions at once. It's like asking an art lover to choose between Leonardo da Vinci and Jackson Pollock (with Courtney Peldon being the Thomas Kinkade in the equation): A truly impossible choice.

I voted for Bai Ling on the strength of that Indian Necktie thing, plus all those nip-slips, but recognize Sevigny's overwhelming fug.

Chloe. That forehead is just blinding.

Bai MUST win, if only because she's so obviously trying to look hot in her horrible getup and failing so miserably. Chloe has no such aspirations, and her outfits, misguided though they are, can be found on actual runways. But where Bai finds her wardrobe, if it can be called that, is anyone's guess. It's basically a war between bad couture and bad Wet Seal offerings. The fug has to go to the predominantly tacky mall store.

Not hard AT ALL -- Chloe is interesting, Bai Ling is just disgustingly vulgar.

i voted for the Sev - all the way!! In one photo, Bai is totally rocking the Harajuku punk look and shows she's all about the costume approach. The Sev, despite being so cute in Kids, somehow has morphed into the Fugliest Drag Queen Ever.

I also am not a fan of the bitchface.

I was falling asleep to an old episode of Homicide last night - no fault of the fine people at Homicide, it was just really late and I'm old - about the murder of a Chinese student activist and omigosh, there was Bai, looking like a Chinese student activist herself. Like, not naked. I'm afraid those images might cloud my judgment on this vote. Must force images of Chloe in Big Love into my head to level the playing field...

I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard as when I read "Princess Catsuit McCigarette." Thanks, Fug Girls, for confirming my coworkers' suspicions that I am indeed mad as cackle away in my office - alone!

It's a bit difficult for us over the Atlantic coz we've only heard of Bai Ling through GFY whereas Chloe is an internationally renowned fugicity..... so I'll have to vote for her.

P.S. What's a Charo?

this is the big one for me, the hideousness of both is amazing, but Chloe seems to be so much more smug about the whole thing, and not crazy in the fun way. SO Chloe's FUG reigns over Bai's.

For me this is just like the race for the democratic nomination (I can say that because I'm Canadian). Chloe is Hillary and Bai is Barack. I think there's something to the whole arrogance thing going on with Chloe and Hillary, but Barry has my heart and so does Bat-shit-Crazy-Bai.

Also, I think Bai can kick butt against Paris in the next round (at least in the jello-wrestling fantasy fight in my head)...and the prospect of Bai vs either Posh (who will beat Beyonce IMHO) or Sharon is just too delicious to resist!

I gotta go with the Sev, although this is probably the hardest decision I've had to make, like, EVER.

I feel like somewhere out there, a gay man's head just exploded.

This is too difficult a decision. They're both experts at bringing the fug.

Bai is in a different realm, it's not well-intentioned, good-natured fuggery anymore, it's outright destructive, malicious and eye-raping. Chloe is actually, in her own way, trying to look good. Bai will be, I preduct, champ at the end of all this.

Oh good God! Bai Ling is freaking insane in her choices but she clearly wants the attention. What has she done that anyone remembers anyway? C. Sev. actually thinks she is an icon of some sort. That's just bat shit crazy. Chloe Sevigny for the win.

A challenging choice. Bai is truly unique in the world of fug, but she's never been front row during Fashion Week. So I can only assume that Chloe is not only fugging ridiculous, she's fugging nefarious in her ability to manipulate situations. Anyone who would think her "Laura Ashley rehabs Bad Sandy from Grease" collection at Opening Ceremony is hot has to have horse tranqs in their cocktail. And I'm so with Emilie on Vincent Gallo! Chloe to win it all!

But with an order of Bai Ling you get nip too.

The Sev HAS to win it all! Unlike Bai, who only dresses like this to get attention (a la C.Peld & PSquared) Chloe 1-actually can act so doesn't need to dress like a moron to get noticed, 2-thinks she actually looks good & the rest of us are just simpletons who have no idea what true fashion is, 3-is trying to foist her insanity upon the world with her fashion line (hello people-TURBANS??? NO.), 4-Out-bitchfaces Posh and doesn't have a kicky catchword like "major", and 5-seems generally pretentious & totally devoid of any sense of humor. I think Bai at least is in on the joke that her outfits make-vote Sev!

I have just as much trouble choosing between actual Thin Mints and Samoas.

Bai is merely ridiculous and entertaining in her fugliness, but Chlo-Sev makes me want to slap that smug, fugly (smugly?) look off her indie-fashion-designer-wannabe face! The only way to explain how she puts together outfits is that she rolls around in her closet and throws together whatever sticks to the icky residue left by Vincent Gallo. [Shudder] She is clearly the reigning Queen of Fug.

Oh, go for the sweet Bai and Bai!

Oooh, so tough! However, I give it to Bai Ling just because of those band-aids. I mean, really, band-aids as a fashion statement?! OY VEY.

Why will nobody understand that Bai Ling is the Fugliest of them all??? Have we all forgotten her I don't mind attitude over her hundreds of nip slips? Her crazy shoes, her band-aide skirts, her constant need to make every shirt into a belly shirt by going back to her elementary days of taking the bottom of the shirt and looping it through the top and giving it a pull. Oh people.....we're so close to crowning her queen. Don't let this be her final day in the sun!!!

Chloe is ugly of spirit, while Bai is just batshit. I think Chloe knows what she's doing and that intent means she wins (loses) in my book.

I was so set on voting Chloe and then I reviewed the Ling file. Holy rampaging tomato, that girl is un frggin' believable. I thought I'd remembered the worst of the travesties, but the little Bo Peep dress brought it all home. She is the duchess, the lady, and perhaps the out-of-control promiscuous cousin of fug.

Bai Ling is 37, she really OUGHT to know better, eh?

As tough as this vote is, I think La Ling gets my vote.

I have to go with Chloe, since she THINKS she's a huge fashion icon, and Bai Ling I'm pretty sure, doesn't do a whole lot of thinking in general. Which to me means Chloe is the bigger fug since Bai Ling cluelessly scampers about depending on which personality she has going on at the moment.

Bai Ling all the way kids!

Like it or not, Chloe's fug is punk rock anti-fashion. It's fug, but a respect-worthy fug.

Bai Ling, however... where to begin?

It's SevigNugh all the way, simply because she's supposed to be a fashion icon. Huh? Whereas Bai Ling is just...just...I can't seem to find the words...

P.S. Why wasn't Vincent Gallo included in this year's bracket??

I really thought I was going to vote Bai Ling all the way, but my heart skipped a beat when I saw Princess Catsuit McCigarette.
What the Fug is THAT!

Also...I think Bai Ling is just fugging with us.

Fug it...I'm voting Princess Catsuit McCigarette.

Recently, I ate a tube of Thin Mints (I hasten to add it was over the course of several hours). That night, I vomited profusely. Thin Mints are not so good when they have come out your nose.

Thusly, I have voted for Bai Ling. I am Bai Lingual. I favor Bai Lingus.

Chloe has to take it because she actually rationally thinks she looks good, I don't think Bai Ling thinks rationally at all - her fug is only an extension of her general crazy, chloe's fug is intentional.

Thin Mints out of your nose!

Boo!

Bai Lingus!

Hee!

Sweet Lord! I never thought I'd see the day when I'd vote for someone else other than Chloe for the fug win. However the day has come. Bai's trashy/vulgar aspect gave her the edge for me. Sorry for the betrayal, Sev. If it's any consolation you'll always be my favorite fug. You've never ceased to amaze me with you wacky fugness nature, and for that I'll be forever thankful *lol*

i've been having stress attacks about this round since it was announced. so hard. but i went with bai ling. because. she is the goddess of fug. all hail.

Bai Ling isn't fug...she is a caricature - she almost doesn't even count! The winner clearly is Chloe, who actually believes her crazy lies that she is somehow hip and chic.

Remember the superfluous umlaut voters! Give this one to Chloe.

Have to go with Bai. I have yet to see a photo where La Ling is not totally batshit crazy, whereas I have seen one, maybe even two, photos where I think, "OK Chloe I see what you're doing and I just may agree with it." Plus Chloe is a decent actress, what in the world does Bai contribute to this world?? (Other than the fug)

While Chloe Sevigny must be stopped, I simply cannot in good conscience vote against Bai Ling. Chole's fug is boring and pretty much different plays on the same thing (raggedy vintage hobo rags with obscenely absurd accessories, with some floral bedspreads and lace mixed in for accents) Bai Ling's fuggery transcends space and time. When Bai Ling gets fugged, you never really know what she is going to look like (except completely ridiculous) and it is always a magical treat as she pioneers new uncharted waters of fugtitude.

Also, Bai Ling is way more economical and crafty when it comes to creating an outfit. Where Chloe Sevigny creates her special brand of fug by piling on layers and layers of horrible clothes until she looks like a bag lady wearing every piece of clothing that she owns so she doesn't lose it, Bai Ling can create fugsterpieces out of a headband, a handkerchief, and some double-sided tape (that is really old and barely sticks to anything anymore). That is true talent in my book.

Also Bai Ling NEEDS this far more than Chloe Sevigny. Her life is a shambles and a victory here would be a ray of sunshine (and glitter) piercing through the dark clouds of her shoplifiting scandal. Chloe has Big Love. Also, winning this would only encourage and legitimize Chloe's fugdemeanors.

Finally THIS: http://gofugyourself.typepad.com/go_fug_yourself/2006/01/fugdance_bai_li.html cannot be denied.

Wow. It's really too bad these two are in the same bracket. They are championship match material! Two very different types of fug, each with its own merit. I voted Bai today, but could've voted Chloe just as easily depending on my mood.

I'm squealing with delight at "Princess Catsuit McCigarette"! Chloe, you minx, you get my vote!

Bai Ling makes me laugh.
Chloe makes me want to hurl.
I vote for Chloe.

I'm calling the final right now: Sharon Stone vs. this match up's victor. But who will take it all? I think La Stone has it locked up.

I voted B.Ling. C.Sev can occasionally not look completely insane, plus at least she can act (you gotta respect Nicki Henrickson!), whereas B.Ling is famous...why? Zero acting talent, zero style, zero Q rating, total crazy...B.Ling is the whole package.

After a brief period of mourning for the loss of my beautifully fugtackular Peldon, I have logged on and found myself utterly stumped for the first time in this tourney.

Bai is wacky and nuts and crazy, but she rocked in The Crow, and can really work the gothy beauty, so she gets a pass. Plus, she looks pretty with her head bald, and not many women can say that. The kicker is, she would almost certainly LOVE finding out she won a Fug award. It almost makes me want to give her the vote.

Chloe, on the hand, could never see the ironic humor in winning this or any other award because she is, in fact, just atrociously fugly and comes off like she could be the true Enemy Of Fun. No really. Like, I don't care what she wears or how she does her hair or how well she acts, she is just an overrated, ugly, cow. And a snobby cow at that.

I'm voting for her based on that alone. I hope she takes out a full-pager in the trades about how the collective We are all mean and evil. It would totally make my day.

in order to vote I have to think of the girls as fug assassins: Bai Ling is always a bit scattered in appearance, like a fug bus just blew by and plastered her with fug detritus. When on fug assignment, she'd use a shotgun loaded with glitter, I imagine.

Chloe, on the other hand, is The Cleaner of the deadly fug assassin squad: sometimes her fug is deadly because of its simplicity, and she must be packing serious laser-guided precision heat. Chloe takes it.

I voted for Chole. In my humble opnion - Bai Ling does it for attention, Chole does it because she actually thinks it looks good.

I am in the Sevigfug camp. Bai Ling's clothes may be crazy but they aren't actually UGLY, merely a whack costume. On the other hand, Chloe's are ugly in shape and color and usually ill fitting, yet expected to be taken seriously as a fashion icon. In my book that gets more fug points than simple crazy does.

My eyes are sweating, but I had to go with Chloe. Hot, Insane Fug is one thing, but Dear Lord I Need A Shower Fug is a "nother".

I had to go with Chloe because nobody takes Bai Ling seriously, fashion or otherwise, but sadly some people take Chloe and her clothing choices seriously.

MY EYES....MY EYES...AAAGGHHHH! However, Bai Ling makes me laugh (intentional or not) whereas Cloe Sevigny makes me despair at the utter hopelessness of the fate of mankind and all life on the planet. .....
...... oh, right. Chloe for the win.

So so hard! Bai Ling is a winner though, because she is well... insane! Chloe is trying to be stylish but is really, really failing whereas Bai Ling is just... well, I don't know, she seems so proud of the clothes she's wearing! But the clothes are so horrible!

I got my little penciled in bracket, made some tea, and sat down, all ready to agonize over this one for a good while...but as I looked at Princess Catsuit McCigarette up there, I realized...no, just no. I just can't even look at her. So I spared my eyes from looking at their archives again, and just followed my heart, which said vote Sev! Bai is kooky and tacky but Chloe is like Eeyore on acid. I predict whoever wins this epic round takes the whole thing!

My sweet Lord. Each fug is so unique....and so equally hideous.

1. How crazy is a shithouse rat??

2. 97.987739% of the fug chole wears I've used as cleaning rags to either wax my car or clean the oven with.

3. To be perfectly honest we could all end up like bia. you know.... 1, 10, 10,000 tequila cherry jello shots later.

So in the end I had to go with THE SEV. Only the supreme being of FUG could manage to have a camel toe in a floor length gray dress monstrosity whilst wearing Frankenstein/Herman Muster shoes (3rd photo down in the Fugbute to Chloe Sevigny).

OMG!!!!! How is Bai Ling losing?!?!?!? Bai, come back, you are my Final Fug!

It was a hard choice for me. But, I voted for Bai Ling just because she manages to look so tacky with so little fabric.

chasgoose, I loved your post (and the photo as well) and it almost convinced me but I'm sorry, I stick with my Chloe vote. Bai Ling is fugly, there's no question, there's no argument and I suppose for me, that's what makes her boring as far as the competition is concerned. And you are right, Bai Ling is perhaps ten times more creative than the rest of them, I'll give you that. The problem with Bai is that she lacks level and inner dimension. What you see is what you get: will she dress like a clown tonight? Yes. In fact, she really belongs in her own separate category: fugging crazy. That's how she makes it in the tabloids: she is 100% fug and she does not have anything else going for her. That should merit a disqualification.

Come on people. The Sev all the way. I can't deny, Bai is CUH-RAZY, but that sums up her fug in one nice neat little package. She's totally out of her gourd. She looks like she went manic in her closet and decided she loved everything!

The Sev, however, the Sev is one for the ages. How a woman, who, as far as I know, hasn't done anything recently minus prance around in her fugly wardrobe, gets a deal to design a line of clothes, use my 6th grade wardrobe as her inspiration, and actually release it, well...that is some fug. She is just a fugging mystery. Also she looks tons like my college roommate and it pains me to think of her dressing that way. Ew.

I had to go with Chloe for this one. Bai, while crazy as a bedbug, at least looks cute and vivacious most of the time in spite of herself. Chloe just looks pissed off and ugly.

Okay, the Sev is truly fug, but I can go to almost any mall in the LA area and see someone else dressed that way, usually middle-aged housewives or smug Hollywood brats. Bai looks like she buys all her clothes in the children's costume section of Party City, throws them up in the air, and wears whatever lands on her. Gotta go with La Ling.

The difference to me is in their facial expressions. Chloe Sevigny, with her blank expression, looks as though aliens abducted her years ago, leaving a fembot programmed to dress itself in the prevailing couture of her abductors' home planet. Bai Ling is the One Ring to Rule Them All. She is Mount Doom Incarnate.

I think Bai Ling is having fun, and Chloe is serious. So Chloe gets my fugly vote here.

Both are amazing contenders in all things Fug, but when fug hits the fan I have to vote for "crass" over "crappy". I have Bai going all the way...

I cant believe there is even a question here. Clearly - CLEARLY, Chloe Sevigny is our winner. That girl crazy.

After staring at these photos for upwards of 20 minutes, I've come to this conclusion:

Bai is pleased-as-pie crazy (those ties are amazing), while Chloe's fug is totally intentional - she fully believes that her vile fashion proves how indie/artsy she is. But which is worse?

Then I remembered something terrible, something that further demonstrates Chloe's belief that vile passes for art: BROWN BUNNY.

Soooo...Bai, I'm sorry, but until you porn out with Vincent "I make Kathie Lee Gifford look bland and normal" Gallo*, your fug just won't compare to The Sev!

*And I'm not, in ANY way, advising you do this. Take a proud second seat knowing that you NEVER did THAT with HIM.

...brain...overloading...where is Jennifer Garner...must see photo of normal, pretty girl immediately...

This was the most difficult choice but the fashion line is why I had to vote--Little House on the Prairie meets the vibe of Sissy Spacek's mom in Carrie? How could it not be the highest fashion crime?

I've gotta go with Bai Ling here. Chloe's at least got a respectable acting career, whereas Bai's just notorious for her fug. Oh, and stealing batteries.

This was the hardest choice yet! But I think Bai is just wackadoodle all around. I picked Chloe because I think she takes herself seriously. And loses every time. But, geez, credit to Bai Ling for a battle well fought!

You're killing me with this one! Bai definitely has the batshit crazy thing going for her, but voting against Chloe is like admitting she knows how to dress. And clearly that would be a lie. What to do?!

Damn, that was difficult. I had to go with Bai Ling. But Chloe is so...so...and Bai Ling is so...I don't know, this hurts. Damn. Damn. You know I'll be pleased with either one winning. Damn.

I had to go with Chloe. Bai Ling is kind of like a mentally insane person you can't really charge with murder because they literally don't know any better. Chloe styles herself as someone who Knows What She's Doing, and she expects us to appreciate What She's Doing and wear it as well. Never mind that it's Ugly As Sin.

I can't. I just can't. It's too painful to vote to eliminate either of them. They ought to reign together as queens of fug forever and always.

You're killing me with this one! Bai definitely has the batshit crazy thing going for her, but voting against Chloe is like admitting she knows how to dress. And clearly that would be a lie. What to do?!

Have to go with Chloe. At least Bai isn't inflicting her fashion sense onto others!

Why do I feel like this match should be for the championship, not just to make it to the Final Four?!? These two are the be-all end-all of fug. However, my vote goes to Sev by a narrow margin because of how "fashion forward" she thinks she's being, when it's more like "scream and run away."

Wow, this is tough. I find Bai's nuttiness sort of endearing, whereas Chloe dresses horribly and pretentiously tries to pass it off as style. At least Bai seems to be having fun....

Princess Catsuit McCigarette truly was inspired. Hilarious!

This is the first fug-up I've actually been torn over... is it going to be this tough from here on in????

They're both tremendous purveyors of the fug, but Bai Ling seems to be having FUN with her fug--there's a gleam in her eye that says she's being campy on purpose. Whereas Sevigny seems to take herself WAY too seriously. I voted Sevigny.

Really.....this was just too much.....really. When they both look like this I really needed to go deep into their souls...and Bai Ling's soul, according to Bai Ling at least, is that of an artiste. Chloe Sevigny was never admitted to NYU as a VISTING SCHOLAR. Chloe Sevigny didn't get arrested on Valentine's Day for shoplifting magazines and a pack of batteries. Chloe Sevigny was never an ARMY NURSE. So now look at the pictures and think about Bai Ling in all of those former incarnations...and laugh, laugh, laugh your way to the final four.

OMGfuggers!!1! I meant to vote for Sev, I have her in my bracket, but I accidentally voted for Ling!!!1! (I think I was distracted by a nipple, or some sharply spiked bangs ....), and now the votes are so close that if Bai Ling were wearing them, you would totally see her skanky lady-parts. Can someone who was planning to Vote Ling do an after-the-fact vote-trade with me and Vote Sev instead? Please? Honest to g*d, I wouldn't admit to being such an idiot if it weren't true, I really meant to vote Sevigny! Thx.

AARGHHH! Why didn't I duct tape my head together first! Bai has a Hobby Lobby AND a Michael's at her house that she frolics through after painting herself with glue. Chloe is a potato head with skin the color of kindergarten paste. Chloe is a lowly purveyor of fug, which is NOT a victimless crime. I think it would make Bai so happy to win, and she surely would write a haiku afterwards. Chloe would just turn her laptop into a hat. I adore seeing Bai for her unique, craftastic fuggery, and a sighting always brightens my day. Chloe evokes the weather in London. Therefore, I think Chloe must win for all-around uglyfug, but Bai must understand that this is a GOOD thing for her.

At least, Bai looks fun in her craziness! Chloe is just fugly and depressing. That's why she has my vote.

"Chloe is like Eeyore on acid"

ROFLMFAO!!! Good one!!

Chloe, because she's trying to bring the fug to the masses with that horrific clothing line

As M points out, CHLOE HAS HAD THE MOST REVOLTING ACCESSORY OF ALL: VINCENT LONGO! EWWWW!

Chloe FTW!

I was tempted to vote for Bai, but if you've played Vincent Gallo's skin flute, not just in private, but actually on film and then had said playing shown to the world, I'm sorry, but there is nothing grosser or fuggier then that, except possible to be double-teamed by Vincent Gallo and Pete Doherty, but the universe would destroy itself if that ever happened.

Thus Chloe gets my vote, but it's nothing to be proud of.

Rats! That should read "Vincent Gallo"! (Vincent Longo would be GOOD, so Chloe would know nothing about that).

OMGfuggers!!1! I meant to vote for Sev, I have her in my bracket, but I accidentally voted for Ling!!!1! (I think I was distracted by a nipple, or some sharply spiked bangs ....), and now the votes are so close that if Bai Ling were wearing them, you would totally see her skanky lady-parts. Can someone who was planning to Vote Ling do an after-the-fact vote-trade with me and Vote Sev instead? Please? Honest to g*d, I wouldn't admit to being such an idiot if it weren't true, I really meant to vote Sevigny! Thx.

Thanks for the nightmares, Ben.

Chloe is just dumpy. Bai is fucking insane. I mean, would Chloe Sevigny go out in a metal bra in January? Would she wear a bikini and a cape to the premier of a movie she was in? Has she exposed her nipples on the red carpet more times than Jenna Jameson has in her entire life?

I think not.

Damn, it's a close one... I went with Chloe, because Bai may actually be mentally insane, and I feel kind of bad voting for her.

This is not that hard - really...

Bai Ling seems not to take herself too seriously - she's crazy, but having fun!

Chloe never has fun, her fug is deadly serious, and therefore, more fuggilicious!

I'm trying to decide who should know better, which ultimately has been my guiding principle through this whole Fug Madness.

Bai has demonstrated the ability to turn it around and really look exceptionally beautiful - and as many people here have observed, she often appears to be f*ing with us. My read on her is that she knows better, but she does it anyway - because she thinks it's funny (as opposed to Sharon Stone, who knows better, but does it anyway because she's off her meds).

Chloe, however, is a mystery. Almost every interview I've read with her she comes off as really cool and down to earth. Could it be that she is double-f*ing with us? That the humorlessness is a carefully cultivated front to disguse from us that she's laughing her ass of that we might actually consider the Laura Ashley catsuit? Is this a carefully constructed one-woman commentary on the dictates of fashion? And if so, does that even matter when you're wearing Dynasty sleeves?

My head hurts. I need a drink to decide this.

I think this Clash of the Titans of Fug is really about two different definitions of FUG. Batshit Crazy Fug (Bai) or It's Couture Bitch Fug (Chloe). Such a toughie!

I went with Chloe, because Bai's fug choices are at least usually sexy (in a Barbarella by way of punk vampire flapper kind of way), whereas Chloe's choices almost uniformly make her look schlumpfy. (And if that's not a word, it should be.)

The Sev is pure of fug in her very special and pretentious way. She judges the rest of us for not embracing her fug. She and Vincent Gallo in all their unwashed glory must sit and smoke clove cigarettes and drink Boons Farm wine and laugh at the "herded masses conforming to societies expectations." Wait, maybe that was me (sans Gallo) in 1988... I think that some of her outfits have done their job... ripped a hole in the time-space continum and taken me back to that simplier time. For that little fantastic voyage I had to vote for her.

I was all set to vote for Bai until I saw the catsuit. THE CATSUIT! I let out a silent scream at my desk. Then I realized that Chlöe is just all out FUG. She actually put an outfit with a grey catsuit together and has the nerve to look superior. In a catsuit. It's like that throughout her archive.

At the very least Bai relishes being crazy and seems to enjoy herself. The smile goes a long way.

...did anyone else do a double-take upon realizing Princess Catsuit McCigarrette is NOT Mary Kate Olson? I need to lie down...

Chloe wins. Her clothes are aggressively hideous and her fashion line rapes our eyeballs. Bai Ling loses for the simple reason that, as far as we can tell, this very site gives her more publicity than she needs. Poor Bai needs a prescription for anti-psychotics and a stay at Spa 5150, while Chloe needs to find some adult variation on Geranimals.

H & J, i'm with Maleficent: right on for mentioning the two best GS cookie types. (But I hear they are now peddling knock-off Samoas on the west coast? Uncool.) For this gut-wrenching round I have to caucus with all the other commenters for whom Chloe's smugosity trumps her and Bai's otherwise-competitive fug-off. Sev all the way. Oddly, when I saw her in person at a bar this one time, she was pretty understated (if I remember correctly she was wearing shorts with tights - obvi only understated for her, and, ew).

OH. MY. GOD. This is so difficult!!(yet so fun!!) While Bai is as worthy an opponent as possible in this competition, the stench of Eau de Sevigny is just too overpowering for me. Resistance if futile, must vote for the Sev.

I went for Chloe. I think Bai Ling intentionally wears silly and outrageous clothes while Chloe is actually trying to be fashionable, therefore, more fugged up.

Ick, Ben!

Just ick.

I've been running around my office trying to drum up votes for Bai Ling. The Sev wears lots of ugly clothes and a superior expression, but Bai Ling is from another fugging planet. And it is my dream to see a Bai Ling/Posh championship. Don't let my dream die! Vote Bai!

If I had to vote based only on the clothes, not facial expression, not personality, not acting talent or existence of a clothing line, this would be literally impossible. My head would actually blow up.

Fortunately, Sevigny's got her bitchface, her attitude, and her fashion design skillz in her corner here. I like her better as an actress, but that's not going to be enough. Sevvy Sev.

Chloe thinks she looks good. Bai Ling thinks she is having fun. Chloe is therefore fugliest.

This is so hard, but I have to go with Bai, just because I see her naked boob more often.

Don't fret -- we're getting actual Samoas out here still. They tried to call them something else for a while, but there was a revolt.

I picked Chloe after much agonizing. There were two reasons, really; Chloe gets praised for being so "fashion forward," and "haute coture" so often that I think she has actually started to believe her own press. What we see as pure fug, she sees as pure awesome. Rough. Plus, have you ever seen a pic of her where she isn't sporting a raging bitchface? It's Chloe all the way for me!

I voted for Chloe - by far, the toughest decision I've made all day. But, when it comes down to it, I think Chloe is really the definition of fug - she tries to be fashionable, and just doesn't get it. Bai, on the other hand, revels in the fact that she doesn't get it in away that never ceases to fascinate - a feat that also deserves recognition.

the red shoes in Bai Ling's first outfit just slay me. Like she really thought about the whole ensemble!

I think it comes down to the fact that Chloe tries to be 'edgy' and an 'icon' and actually wavers between boring and ugly. My girl Bai, however, wakes up each morning and glories herself in fug. She's completely herself at every moment and doesn't try to be anything but Bai. That just happens to be a wonderful combination of fugly and just plain puzzling. But she never disappoints. Chloe is just trying to be relevant. Bai *is* fug.

i don't care how many times i have to delete my cookies, CloSev CAN NOT OUT FUG THE LING!!!

i might just get fired cuz of this, but at this point it is a moral imperative that i might tip the scales of justice to have the hammer come down on the most deserving of the fug crown.

why are they even in the same bracket? there should have been steps to avoid this kind of abomination.

Have to go with le Sev. Bai goes for it all for shock value - tries to get attention. le Sev actually chooses these things for real.

This race is getting tighter! Like Sev's catsuit in the first photo.

Bai Ling is just kinda slutty girl. Chloe is unique in her fugishness!

Bai is just nuts. Chloe hits it right every 30 or 40th time...and she was good in Kids. Bai basically played herself in Crash, I suspect.

This is a choice no one should have to make. They're equally fugtacular.

Yes--I voted Sev! And while I'd be the first to admit how much I've enjoyed seeing so many of the BLing's various personalities live it up in the light of day, I have to concur with the many posters who have commented on the fact that with Sev, it's not just about Fug, but SmFug.

I voted Courtney Peldon for the same reason--she think she cute. But really, Chloe Sevigny is not even about the goofy confident happy fug of Peldon Thing One or Thing Two. She's playing the bored sophisticate, which is boring the hell out of me. So glad to see her edging out the kinder, gentler stylings of Bai Ling. Eat fug, you smirking, scowling beeyatch.

where's the vote button--Im goin' for Bai Ling but cant vote. get me the vote button---!!!!

I voted for Bai, although I think Chloe should win, if only because I want to see her up against Posh in the final round. But she should win by as narrow of a margin as possible.

Had to go with Sev. Looked at both archives - she's only been Unfugged once. Once. That's it.

Madam Ling has actually looked *gulp* pretty on occasion - she had a decent February back in Aught-Six - and she tends to look like she's having a good time.

La Sev? Even that one Unfugg is dubious - she's about as orange as that dress.

In all honesty, I don't care which one makes it - they're both winners in my eyes.

Michael, your machinations will get your nowhere! Chloe's fug reigns supreme! I attach further proof here:
http://socialitelife.buzznet.com/2007/10/09/fashion_disaster_of_the_day_chloe_sevigny.php

For the life of me, whenever Chloe Sevigny shows up in this competition, I can't get that hideous floral Donna Martin-esque outfit she designed and wore out of my mind.

bai ling is certifiably insane. sure, chloe comes up with some crazy ass outfits...but at least her life proliferates some sort of cultural good. and she doesn't ALWAYS look so hideous.

bai ling, on the other hand, is just a joke. she puts crap on her body for attention. and now we should give her that attention...by letting her true fug reign supreme.

Oooh, so close.

Bai.

the clothing line, people. the clothing line.

Chloe deserves to win the whole thing just for that.

LOL "Eeyore on acid."

C'mon Chloe "f* the umlaut"!!!! You can do it!

It's a Chloe Bai Tie. Sounds like a scary new cocktail.

This was a toughie!

I chose Chloe only because she seems to actually think she looks good (or at least that's the impression I get from her pictures).

On the other hand, I'm pretty sure that Bai purposely dresses bad on purpose; as if she knows that it's the only way to keep people talking about her.

I had to go with the clueless fug over the on-purpose fug.

It *has* to be Chloe. Bai Ling at least is happy (and harmless). Chloe has the bitchface *and* a clothing line.

This is one instance where I think a tie would be the only way to go. However, I voted for Chloe because of her recent clothing line. Yikes.

It's easy, folks. If you woke up naked in Central Park and there were two outfits lying next to you, a Chloe outfit and a Bai outfit, what would you put on?

Chole, of course. If you chose Bai, you would still be naked.

Case close. Bai wins.

I went with Chloe because I agree that Bai is fugly in a campy and sometimes fun way, but Chloe is far too serious in her fug.

Let me ask you this: can being fugly ever be a good thing?

This should have been the final matchup, as several posters have said. There is no more formidable fug than the fug these ladies bring.

Bai Ling is batshit crazy, no contest. She wears the weirdest things and usually looks at least half naked. But she is kooky and silly and you can tell she's hamming it up on purpose.

The Sev is in deadly earnest. She considers herself a fashion icon and wreaked that hellish skanky clothing line upon this world. Those black granny shoes were unforgiveable.

Like a fabulous fug versus just a very ugly fug.

So. Hard. Many of the commenters throughout the Fug Madness epic have needed to know - do you vote for the Fug you love, or the Fug you hate?

Hate it is, Ms Edgy Fashion Forward.

Oh my God. Somebody said "Sefugny" and I spit water all over myself.

People! What is WROOOOONG with you?!?!

Bai Ling is certifiably batshit and knows it. She has no other agenda but to get her tits out in some ludicrous "outfit" and get photogged in it.

Chloe, on t'other hand, FANCIES HERSELF A FASHION DESIGNER. People in the fashion industry FANCY HER AN ICON. This woman is SOOOOOOOO impressed with herself and thinks she's SOOOOOOOO artistically vital and it's SOOOOOOOOO much more disgusting! Particularly because she's successfully duped so many into thinking she has "amazing style."

PLEASE! The choice is CRYSTAL CLEAR.

I'll give you an analogy. This is like pitting two terrible movies against each other. One bad movie is a guilty pleasure, knows it, owns it and is enjoyed as such by people who "get it." The other bad movie is terrible, but was clearly made with the intention of being good and fancies itself Oscar material, even though it's drivel.

So on one hand, you have "From Justin to Kelly." And on the other, you have, say, "Spanglish," or--my God--"Pay it Forward."

Bai Ling is the "From Justin to Kelly" here. Chloe is the "Pay it Forward."

Now I implore you: which is more egregious?

I think I've made my point.

I think the final showdown should've been between these two . . . I can't decide!!!! On the one hand, you've got Chloe who seems to think she's some kind of style muse--the prairie prints, the leg warmers, the catsuits--it's like Miss Havisham meets Chloe's character on Big Love meets the couture version of the Urban Outfitters clearance rack. Add the smug, self-important aura/ raging bitchface to the mix and it's a fug extravaganza.

Then you have Bai, she who has devoted herself to the fug. Her clothes don't look like anything a normal person could find, even if they tried (whereas Chloe's ensembles seem resemble current trends, even if they're wildly fugged up versions thereof). You have to give Bai points for creativity--not only is she consistently fug, but she seems to find new and completely surprising ways of fugging it up on a consistent basis (my brain hurts trying to figure out exactly how she concocted that necktie ensemble, as seen above).

Who to choose?

While I wish these two could reign together over the kingdom of fug, I have a feeling that whoever comes out on top here will face VB in the final fug showdown . . .

Sev gets my vote. She exudes pretentiousness whereas Ling sparkles with batshit originality.

Bai is just a whore. A cheap, talentless, non-thinking whore. Dressing the way she does is so easy, so predictable.

Chloe, on the other hand, knows better and still choses her unique brand of ferocious fug. She's a muse, for fuck's sake! She inspires people to make fugly clothing and is now trying to sell her own brand of fug to the public. That's... that's a force. Probably a force that needs to be stopped with a crown of fug.

I'm still taking flowered leggings for the win.

Bai knows she's being silly and over the top, but I get the impression that Chloe actually thinks she is Ms. Haute Couture, so I had to vote for Chloe.

it's neck and neck!. holy crap! so exciting.

bai's outfits come with a wink-wink-nudge. My vote goes to CS because you get the feeling she really believes her outfits are brilliant.

Oh the torture!!

How to choose between such fugly fugness!

*collapses in fug induced stupor*

Chloe Sevigny has that unbeatable combination of haughtiness, condescension and desperation. She is the clear victor here.

Plus, say what you will about crazy Bai Ling, she has not yet accesorized with VINCENT GALLO'S PENIS.

Wow, are we looking at our first tie? This might be amazing!

See, with Bai Ling, I assume she dresses this way for attention. And winning fug madness would be validating this need for attention. as such, I felt that I had to give my vote to chloe, who now has her own fashion line. She just ought to know better.

Or, more clearly: Bai Ling seems to know that she looks ridiculous.

Chloe thinks that she's cool.

This must be the most difficult choice of my life! Seriously! Well, as the kelly family sang: I fell in love with an alien. Bai will vaporise every other contestant with a selection of her finest garments and her laser beam!

Ugh. Chloe always looks SO SMUG. Like she's so super stylish and awesome - we're just to misguided/unfashionable to know it! I can't believe she's a "style icon".

Bai IS crazy, but loveably so.

Tough call! But Chloe is smug and FUG.

Bai is pulling away. She's going to take this. Well, at least Sefugny will fall to a worth opponent.

oh man, chloe, but only because she has turned her fug into a fugtastical clothing line

Blimey! I have never seen so many comments in a single Fug-off.

I think it's a crying shame that these two towering infernos of Fug have to face off at this stage of the competition. Both have, in the past, had the capacity to reduce me to tears of laughter at their Fug mastery.

However, Sev always looks so bloody miserable. At least Ling looks like she is having fun with the Fug. Sev clearly has her head stuffed firmly up her own backside, and wins my vote thusly.

This is SO HARD! I'd rather see Bai Ling win because she's crazy (and her outfits always make me smile in a totally bemused way), but Chloe's choices are just beyond horrible!

Chloe does seem to be taking her "fashion" choices seriously, and she rates high on the fugly scale for that fact. But gods, her fug is BORING. Bai Ling is fabulously fugly! Who else would even think of some of those outfits, much less wear them? Bai Ling, fug-mistress from another world - she'll get my vote every time.

I voted for Chloe. At least Bai hasn't started any awful trends.

I don't think I can stand the agony of suspense all the way till tomorrow! Ack!

Although I voted for Bai....She's just wackadoo. And I love it.

I went with Ling because I have her FTW on my bracket, and she's the only one I have left. Posh took out Sienna Miller (and I had Juliette Lewis, Miller, Mischa Barton and Bai in my final four, totally muffed my bracket) and I had a Ling/Miller championship.

Otherwise, Chloe's smug self satisfaction makes me want to "pow, right in the kisser" as my Aunt Ann always says. Ugh!

I voted for Chloe just because she thinks she's being totally revolutionary and daring wearing the crap she does.

On the other hand, I'm so sure Bai Ling knowingly makes a fool out of herself and doesn't mind.

If the vote remains this close all the way...do we get a recount? PS...I agree that anyone who publicly accessorizes with Vincent Gallo's penis deserves to be the Queen of all Fug for all time.

Okay okay okay...if anyone remains unconvinced that Sevigny is the Fugliest Fug who ever Fugged, this is what you do: go to her archives & look at the picture from Nov 9 2005. And vote away, my friends...

If you're STILL not sure (I admit, nobody's a stronger competitor than Bai Ling!), see Aug 3, 2004. What more could you need?!

Hardest match-up of the whole shebang. I went chloe, because I think bai is actually insane, so she's got that as her defense. Chloe is talented and dresses like she believes it is perfect.

This is a truly epic moment of fug competition that will go down in history books. My body feels like it's turned inside out just trying to choose between this fug.

In the end, I have to choose the one who I most often have to turn my head away from the computer in a split second - the consistent fug that burns my eyeballs - Miss Bai Ling. I think she can go all the way.

Bai Ling! C'mon. Chole picks ugly clothing, yes. But, B. Ling makes up this stuff as she goes along. And it just keeps getting nuttier.

I see this coming down to Peldon versus Chloe. Which strangely enough seems exactly as it should be.

BAI! BAI! BAI! BAI!

Bai 50%, Sev 49% ?????? COME ON CHLOE!!!!!

The Sev's empty, disdainful hauteur reminds me of George W. Bush.

Not even Bai can compete with that.

jeez. this nearly caused me a massive brain aneurism. but chloe wins for the goodwill grab-bag "line" she is now hawking. her costume design was great for "gummo." not for wearing.

Chloe. She is the Fug empress of all time, and Bai Ling is merely her wannabe minion. Plus, you can tell Chloe believes in her fugly heart that she is Uber cool and the rest of us are tragic, whereas I suspect deep down Bai Ling knows something is not quite right.

HOLY. SHIT. BALLS. I cannot beLIEVE how suspenseful this is! I'm serious!

I went with The Sev based on that initial picture of the 1) grey jersey catsuit, 2) the cameltoe, 3) that reDONKULOUS jacket, 4) the stupid goddamn hairdo, 5) the cigarette that I just want to smack from that frickin hipster hand SO badly, 5) the FUR STOLE (?!), and the STUPID FLYCATCHER expression on her FACE.

That chick sucks. Fug Forever for Blowey Sevanus (I'm not a twelve year-old boy, I swear. It just popped in my head and I went with it).

I can not BELIEVE that Chloe is LOSING!!! I have her to win the whole dang thing!!!!!!

Whoever wins this, wins Fug Madness 2008...

I voted for Bai because while Chloe is as fugly as they come, Bai at least is FUN and fugly!

RUTH, I'm so mad at you. I went back to enjoy the Sev's past hideosity in the archives at your suggestion, where I saw the open-toed white shoed she wore with the infamous white glasses somewhere between November and August (I was scrolling down). I almost forgot those shoes. NOW I HAVE TO STAB OUT MY EYES.

I had to vote Bai, only because Chloe barely has even a hint of camel toe in that catsuit- and that is amazing

I voted for Chloe, on accounta the following:
(1) Bai always looks costumed and tongue-in-cheek (or elsewhere, whatever); Chloe almost always looks earnestly dumb.
(2) Bai owns the hell out of her fug, and probably doesn't want anyone else to dress that way. Chloe tries to spread the fug. And it's not even fun fug.

Oh sweet Jeebus! Bai is winning.. this is a nail biter...

I have to go with Chloe on this one. B-Ling just tries too hard to be wacky (different from "crazy", which is what she actually is and what the general effect of her clothes choices). At least B-Ling is fun. Chloe is so serious about her clothing.

She is like an evil fug genius. She is inspired fug. She is iconic fug. And, considering her acting chops, she doesn't have to be fug...but she sure is.

("acting chops" is not an intentional reference to Brown Bunny, but there you go)

I have to CHOOSE?? Lemme see...

Bai Ling is skeezy,but she's also crazy, so I must deduct points because she seems obivious.

Chloe is awesomely slutty with that screaming camel toe. A truly magnificent fugster indeed.

I have to go with the humourless hipster. Fugly is also in the attitude!

i had to vote for chloe 'cause i think bai dresses crazy JUST TO GET ATTENTION 'cause she has absolutely no reason to be famous. chloe just dresses crazy 'cause she doesn't know any better.

Chloe should know better - Bai is a nutjob on purpose, whereas Chloe does this seriously, trying to make a fashion 'statement', so no way am I confirming her efforts by voting for Bai

I apologize for the typos in my post. The fug has left me temporarily stoopid.

Chloe has to win this. Bai Ling dresses much worse than her, but somehow, Chloe's gotten the fashion industry to believe what she wears is actually attractive and not a terribly jumbled up mess. Somebody gave her a clothing line. It's a problem.

This one is toooooo haaaaaaaaard!! They are both SOOOO BAD! I had to go with Sevigny though. She came out with that horrible line. Looking so fugging ugly yourself is one thing but trying to spread the wealth to society at large? Inexcusable!

This was easier than perhaps it sounds – I find Bai Ling delightfully psychotic, whereas the Sev’s smug face beaming out from armpit-high pants and ill-fitting 80’s dresses irritates beyond belief. Plus I’m pretty sure Bai Ling hasn’t had the rainforests of magazine inches devoted to her ‘style’ that the Sev has.

does anyone else think it's going to be anti-climatic after this particular match up?

*raises hand*

sigh. it'll be like the day after dynasty went off the air.

Bai Ling is patron saint of the Fug.
The Sev is a strong contender, but I must go with my heart.

Bai Ling got me hooked on this website. Sevigny or no, our love will never die.

OMG!! It's at 49% versus 50%. With 15000+ votes!

Go BAI. You are the Fug Muse.

Gals, this is the toughest of them all. Bobblehead Chloe looks like she's vamping without calling it vamping; must be her bad posture. I'll vote for the one who never wears underwear--Bai!

Finally, my very fave match-up!! I really wanted these two Fugsters to be the last two standing for the cage deathmatch. Yes, Cloe is an annoying, smug fashion icon in her own mind.... but Bai is a wonder to behold! She MUST take the whole enchilada!!!

Unbelievable. Votes and comments pouring in all day long, and Princess Catsuit McCigarette Von Cameltoe (thanks, Snarky) and Lady Sparkle Legwarmers are STILL in a dead heat.

Bai is doing what she can to get noticed, as she has no other marketable talent. Chloe has marketable talent, and has actually been observed in public looking cute on at least one occasion (ah, the Orange Dress of Yesteryear) yet wilfully chooses to subject herself and society to her brand of Hollywood Holly Hobbie Haute Couture.

Chloe needs to get over herself; Bai needs to just cover herself. Immediately. Can I get a what-what.

what what!!

Bai Ling always looks cray-cray, but at least she's not considered to be "fashion forward" or a trendsetter of any kind by any sector of humanity--as far as I know. I would crown Chloe queen solely on the basis of that disgraceful lookbook.

i had to go w/ chloe on this one...she actually has designed a line of fug clothing...that's something even bai ling hasn't moved in to...

It was tough, but I had to go with Sevigny as she's constantly lauded as a "style icon"--and I'm pretty sure it's meant in a complementary sense.

Bai Ling is just crazy. At least no one says how great her fashion sense is. Well, no one sane.

I still like Bai Ling for the whole thing, but this is a tough match-up. Chloe seems too tame to win this, bizarre candy-wrapper legwarmers notwithstanding. But reasonable minds can agree to disagree. As they say in ancient Rome, "de fugtibus non disputandum est" -- which roughly translates as "you say fugmahto, I say fugmayto." Go Bai!

I just did something weird there. I voted for The Sev. Logic told me to vote The Ling, and yet... my heart. My heart. Bear with me while I talk this out: Chloe takes herself most seriously. There's no trace of tongue-in-cheek. No irony. And she's made the fashion industry believe she knows what she's doing. Impressive. Bai, as has been said before, is batshit crazy. And while she may or may not have the clever to clothe herself in irony, I do get the feeling she is having a hell of a lot of fun out there. And who doesn't love fun?

OMG, I just voted and I am dying! It is such a close tie that I want to scream at the monitor for Bai Ling (because this is Bai Ling we are talking about it) (she wears band-aids on her shins and thinks its fashion) (how many of these parentheses am I gonna use?)!

But I am at work, . . . so I keep it contained.

*Breathing deeply, searching for inner calm*

Duchess Necktie for me. It's the skank that fugs her extra fug as fug - uh, far - as I'm concerned

It was tough, but I had to go with Sevigny as she's constantly lauded as a "style icon"--and I'm pretty sure it's meant in a complementary sense.

Bai Ling is just crazy. At least no one says how great her fashion sense is. Well, no one sane.

Fug ladies, please please please archive the comments as well on this. I swear to god they are making my friggin' year.

Chloe FTW

Lets not forget that Cloe actually DESIGNED an entire wardrobe of Royal Fug - AND modeled it with fugly poses no less! She wins.

*SHRIEKS* It's 50/50??!!

Forget WWIII! I think I may finally believe that some kind of Y2K/Year 0/time space collapse may be possible.

*SHRIEKS* It's 50/50??!!

Forget WWIII! I think I may finally believe that some kind of Y2K/Year 0/time space collapse may be possible.

God, it's like Sophie's Choice..

After literally moments of agonising, I had to go with Clo.Sev, merely for the fact that her fug belongs more in the horror genre, whereas B.Ling is light comedy.

oooh! so difficult! i vote for chloe, because she's a real actress. as far as i can tell, bai ling is just a professional bad dresser. anyone can wear crazy shit, but chloe sevigny wears crazy shit and also is sort of famous. and isn't that kind of the deal with celebrity fashion blogs? the person has to be a celebrity? anyway, i've never heard of bai ling except on this blog, so i don't think she should win.

Bai is laughable. Chloe is .....frightening.

I can't believe this one is so close; in my opinion, Chloe is the CLEAR winner. While Bai is completely insane and fug in every sense of the word, most everything she wears is some sort of garish costume- I mean, this is a person who has claimed to be from another planet on more than one occasion. She is simply dressing the part. Chloe, on the other hand, not only dresses like she lives in a homeless shelter, but fancies herself as some sort of fashion icon...and there are people out there who believe her! Chloe all the way.

Chloe Sevigny makes me angry. Just looking at her in that catsuit... with those legwarmers... with the omnipresent and egregious camel toe... it's AGGRESSIVE. It loves itself and it doesn't care how much it hurts you. Her fug actually causes me physical pain. It makes me want to force her to wear her wardrobe and hairstyle from Big Love 24/7 for the rest of her life as a punishment.

Bai Ling OTOH is funny. She makes me laugh and roll my eyes and sigh good naturedly. She's a fashion nightmare on two legs but she doesn't mean to hurt anyone-- she's usually smiling and enjoying herself, not glowering chinnily, not making a point to the world about how awesome and fashion forward she is. Bai's just out of her mind. Have mercy on the poor woman, she's having a good time. I wouldn't want her to change a thing.

ChloSev is the Imperatrix of Fug. Vote ChloSev!

Bai is just friggin INSANE. She doesn't even have an element of style in her looks. Chloe sometimes does... Bai is simply a trashy ho.

Had to go with Chloe. I think Bai Ling knows she looks silly, but just dresses like this for fun. I think Chloe actually thinks she looks good. And I get the impression that Bai Ling would be a blast to hang out with. Chloe would just blow smoke in your face and remind you how much better she is than you.

Chloe. Like Posh, because of the Bitchface. No, Chloe, I'm not the one with the problem. You are. Your clothes are asinine. The only person who likes them is Vincent Gallo and he's just saying that because he could use another "servicing," on screen or off. He even promises to shower and comb his hair.

Give him the Bitchface, will you? It'll bounce right off his Charley Manson stare. At least Bai, who is crazy, has fun with it and seems to invite us to laugh along. She could never be the champion fugger. You are, toots. You're the only one who could make me vote against Paz.

God this is fuggin' impossible to decide on!

At least Bai seems to be having fun with her fug - she smiles and looks crazily happy most of the time. And then there are the multiple personalities to consider...
Chloe, on the other hand, is just so smug, and never genuinely smiles (only that annoying smirk, like she just knows the rest of us are uncouth bourgeoisie), and she's got some nasty hair. It either looks stringy and unwashed or else it's slicked so close to her skull that she appears to be bald. Ick.

Did you guys fix this competition so that I was FORCED to make an unholy choice between these two? What to do, what to do.....

This one is tough, but I have to go with Sevigny because she actually appears to be taking herself seriously.

I have to say that I'm voting for Chloe. She actually believes she looks good in the crap she wears. Bai (from what I know to be true) knows she's nuts.

It's a tight race, but Chloe is truly a Fug for the Ages!

I prayed it wouldn't come down to this. A Sophie's choice moment if there ever was one.

Sevigny all the way. Smug fug beats batshit fug any day of the week.

I'd opt for intergalactic travel to wacky and colorful Planet Bai over time travel back to Chloe's hideously shoulder-padding, white-sunglass wearing, leg warming 80s.
Chloe for the win!

Ladies, gentlemen, PLEASE. What we have here are two very different fugs - you have Bai Ling, who fugs daily to BE noticed, much like a Phoebe Price or the Peldon chick, and then we have Chloe. Chloe, the Oscar nominated actress, a serious talent, who many years ago, began her reign as fug queen. The first time she donned a dress that someone told her was haute couture, and every single outfit since, has been FUG. She didn't win the Oscar, lets at least let her have this.

Oh my...I'm closing my eyes and choosing one.

Dear Lord.

Chloe Chloe Chloe! I can't BELIEVE Bai is winning! You have to search the REASON for the fug. Bai's is for attention, C-Sev's is because she seems to think she has a mandate to fashion rule. Come on people, don't let C-Sev go!

I think my head just exploded.

Ok....hardest decision ever....but it has to be Sevigny. I think Bai knows she's insane and naked...and loves it. While Chloe thinks she's actually super awesome and stylish.

Man, this bracket is TOUGH. It's like putting a Big Ten team up against . . . um, well, anyone.

Fools! Bai Ling is bat sh*t crazy and shall be the queen of fugdom!

Damn you!!! I made like Sophie and chose....

Bai ling. Only because that thing with the ties is ... it's...

Noooooooooo! I came back to check up- Chloe should win because no one in their right mind would be influenced by Bai Ling- she's just nuts. Chloe, on the other hand, has some weird style credibility. Fight the power!

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Chloe must win!!!
Vote, my friends, vote!

It HAS to be Chloe. She *thinks* she's being fashionable where Bai Ling just wants attention.

In aid of those still in torment on the Rack of Fug (oh wtf, I'm lobbying):

Which of these two has committed the worst crimes against fashion? Against beauty, taste, elegance? There is NO contest. The Sev is actually polluting not just silly tabloid websites with her untold gaffes, but actual RETAIL; does this count for nothing?

Consider, I beg you, some talented designer whose inspired, beautiful clothing normal women would actually LOVE is out there somewhere, sobbing into his Cheerios because he cannot land a paying gig!! And the Sev is presumably paid to "design" a retail clothing line inspired by castoffs from the set of "Family Ties"?! Gah.

Chloe's the one. At least Bai looks like she's having fun.

I think Bai is more like street theatre - she wears costumes, not clothes, and I find her to be mildly amusing. Chloe is true fug.

Chloe: cause that sartorial hideousness gets touted as trendsetting. And I loves me a good trend, but none of those are it. She is a full-time "Don't" photo generator.

Good grief, this is slaying me! Why do they have to be in the same category, why?!
I voted for Chloe, because I truly believe she's the fugliest of them all, but I do so love Bai Ling's outrageousness.

Ok seriously people, I cannot just sit here and watch this SH*T go down.

I don't want to see ANYMORE (I never thought I'd say this...) votes of Fug for Bai Ling!

An attention seeking psuedo-celebrity will NOT take this away from Le Sev! I will not stand for it!

Who's with me?!

I'm prepared to make buttons and distribute them all within the next few hours.

I thought this really would be harder than it ended up. I think both are queens of batshit fugly, but in the end I had to vote for Chloe based on the fact that she clearly thinks she is reigning champion of good taste and fashion sense. Bai comes across as just plain insane and out for attention - like maybe with the right medication and intervention she could be rehabilitated. But the Sev is beyond any help we could give her short of a full fashion labotomy.

I had to go Chloe. She just seems like she would have more sense; Bai just seems too out there. And by the way, Bai Ling is not sexy.

OH MY GOD it's 49% to 50% that's awesome. I gotta go with Bai, because Chloe, while we all may agree, is at least doing it for fashion's sake, whereas I doubt if Bai Ling even truly knows the purpose of many of the garments she puts on. Plus, she thinks she's an alien, and Chloe's sort of an iconic figure for some reason or another. Also, I love Big Love. SO YEAH, vote Bai Ling, Champion of Fug 2008

I'm with you Megan... other than that, I am. Just. Speechless.

Oh, come on.... Just ... LOOK at this:

http://gofugyourself.typepad.com/go_fug_yourself/bai_ling/index.html

We've got random boobs popping out.... Clown like pouffy pants(tm)... Incongruous feathers... And even a combined photo op with La Peldon

I can't believe Bail Ling is WINNING. Please. Won't someone think of the CHILDREN!!!

I also can't believe this is my second comment on this race, but I am planning to demand a court-ordered recount in a second.

Someone else tried to put this link up of SMUGLY-ass Chloe Sevugny upwards of here but it got cut off, so here it is again. J'accuse!
http://socialitelife.buzznet.com/2007/10/09/fashion_disaster_of_the_day_chloe_sevigny.php

Please, let's give that fake-ass fashion designer something to have bitchface ABOUT. Vote Chloe!!

Once again, I feel the same way about this race as I did about the previous one. There is no competition. Bai Ling is the Comtesse of Fug. What that girl can do with a pastie and a couple of sequins, no other D-lister can do with 10 yards of tulle and Swarovski turban. Mark my words it will come down to Bai and Posh. Now THAT will be a horse race!

No no no! Check out the Fug Girls' FAQ page: http://gofugyourself.typepad.com/faq/
They have Chloe down as the very definition of fug! Literally. Who are we to argue with their supreme judgement?

If Ms. Sev does not win, I'll lose all faith in the collective ability to discern true fug.

Megan: I await your orders.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Bai's pulling ahead even more!!
I demand that all those voting for Bai explain their decision to all of us!

Maybe we just have different definitions of Fug, but I don't include a loony/blind crazy to be more fug than a serious actress who seriously thinks her designs are fab.

Man! I need to stop watching this poll. It's just making me mad.

I voted for Chloe before I went to work today, and she was ahead by a good three points, as it should be. So I popped in here to see what was happening and since I'm on my work computer it let me vote again. Sure I could have just done "see results", but I thought eh, I'll throw in a vote for Bai just for the hell of it, since I figured Chloe must have widened her lead by now. And Bai would surely get my vote against anyone else. And then I see that Bai's ahead?!?! Nooooo!!! Oh Blowy Sefugny (stolen from above), thou cannot forsake us!

Likewise, Megan. Standing by. One more time, this dress is so ugly, it's going to have to change some hearts and minds!

http://socialitelife.buzznet.com/2007/10/09/fashion_disaster_of_the_day_chloe
_sevigny.php

Yes she fug!

There seriously needs to be like a formal ceremony to dish out awards after this. It'll be like the Razzies.. invite all the finalists (and maybe Brown Peldon, since she is basically an extension of her sister)... and see who turns up! Imagine that much Fug in one room! I'm hyperventilating with glee.

I think the pro-Chloe (to win it) posts outnumber the pro-Bai by 3 to 1, at least. Yet la Ling is ahead by an ever-widening margin. All those votes and no comments? I call fugnanigans.

Bai Ling? C'MON! Chloe all the way.

What in the blue hell is that wrapped around Chloe's coat? Goddess, I can't decide between these two. Need to do downward dog and a couple vodka Red Bulls to figure this one out.

I have to go with Chloe. Bai is just batsh*t crazy and most of her choices seem to involve proudly declaring that while you take the girl out of the cathouse, you can't take the cathouse out of the girl.

Chloe on the other hand, is calculatedly, purposefully, proudly I-dare-you-to-disagree-with-me fugging.

Once again, I struggle with the definition of "fugly." I feel as though an important component is really truly believing that you look GOOOOOD in whatever monstrositous outfit you're sporting.

With this assumption in place, I have to go with Chloe. Bai Ling is playing with us...she knows she looks like a 5 cent hooker. That's the point.

Chloe thinks she's making fashion forward choices that will draw praise.

There's something so profoundly sad about that...

Everything Chloe wears, is a more extreme version of whats about to be in style in a year or two.

chloe's at least an amazing actor and the cooolllesst 'i dont give a fuck' girl in show buisness. Bai Ling is a joke, what the hell has she even done to become famous??

Jules, perhaps no fugnanigans, just a lot of voting from amateur fuggers who look just at the post photos and click on the way to the copier. We all know it's C.Sev.

Oh god. It's bedtime over here in Ireland. If the elections are like this in November, I don't think I'll survive.

Bai all the way. She is multiple personality fug, no personality excluded. Chloe is but one.

Chloe bores me and purely for that reason I would choose Bai Ling. Never mind that she is crazy as a coconut.

Gotta be Bai Ling. There's a sort of Scarlett O'Hara determination to the way she takes her thrift shop finds and orts and leavings and whips them up into outfits for just one more why the hell are you here red carpet appearance that Chloe Sevigny with her actual, if unimpressive, career will never match.

Okay friends, here's what we're going to do (note to bai voters: don't read on):

now, i'm not sure who's still at work (I certainly am), but I would recommend writing on your hand to vote again for Sev once you get back home and on a fresh computer.

I am personally going to send my coworkers an email asking them to vote for Crazy Chloe on my behalf, but this could be applied to family and friends if you're now away from the office.

And third, for now... maybe we could start a petition... you know, for a revote. Because obviously some people have been confounded to vote for batsh*t Bai.

I never thought I wouldn't vote for Bai, but there it is. I voted for Chloe. Bai knows she's dressing fug and does it on purpose, for attention. Chloe does it seriously. SERIOUSLY! That's way worse.

This was a painful, painful decision. But in the end I have to say Chloe's fug exceeds Bai's by a mere smidgen. I really think Bai is dressing like an attention-seeking hooker. Because she is. Attention-seeking, I mean. But Chloe presumes to make clothing for OTHER people to burn my eyes with. And that's just vicious.

This is more epic than "Highlander" and more brutal than "Thunderdome"!! Sev at least has *some* Hollywood cache working for her, while Bai is fuggin' her way to the top by her own boot straps, placed in inexplicable places. You gotta had it to a chick who's a self made fugger than once who's pretty much expected to be fug. Bai for the win!!

This one hurts. Really. I am grieving.

First of all...I'm so thankful that I am not the only guilty person to have posted twice on this fualicious race. I posted first when The Sev was ahead - and now...BAI FREAKING LING is winning? WINNING???

I know, I know...Bai is INSANE in her outfit choices. Fine. We all agree. We do! But no more insane than Peldon. And we voted HER off the island!

Plus...CONSIDER THIS:

http://static.flickr.com/7/10280129_4cb33ad7f8.jpg

And then, imagine him without pants.

Please, how can Bai Ling be winning?!?! Vincent Gallo, people, Vincent Gallo!! And Bitchface!

Arrrrg. Bai is pulling ahead because these oblivious people don't understand that she's just f-ing with us. People: she knows she's in costume when she wears it! Get a sense of irony!!! (Look it up if you have to). She is not seriously dressing that way; it's just for attention. Chloe really means it. Chloe truly believes she is a style icon. Chloe is the diva of fug. The supreme Fugda. She deserves the humiliation of making it to the final four, if not winning outright!!! VOTE CHLOE!!!

I need to go lie down, now.

Re:

http://static.flickr.com/7/10280129_4cb33ad7f8.jpg

AUAUUAAAAUUUUUGH.

I still voted for Lady Underpants, though. Twice.

bai knows what shes doing just to get attention. but the sev is actually parading around like it is high fashion, whihc of course in unacceptable

Bai may be entirely batshit, but she knows she's in costume and never apologizes for anything. Chloe always looks frumpy and disorganized and just generally FUG. Sweatpants jumpsuit? Come ON.

Chloe all the way. Bai knows she is crazy, and it is expected of her. Chloe on the other hand thinks she can get away with anything and unfortunately she is praised for it! She needs to be stopped and the only way we can do our part is through fug bracketing!

It's like when 2 great teams meet in Semi-finals. THIS should be the championship match. Sev VS Bai

OMG! Too Effin hard to choose! I seriously was in tears at this post and when I saw it coming up as the vote for today, I was even then going "HOLY CRAP! WHO DO I CHOOSE???"

I picked Chloe. She's made me so angry for years over her fashion choices (yes, angry). Bai just makes me giggle. Chloe needs to win the whole damn thing.

Megan, I'm in, I am indeed at home now, voting again for Sefugny. We're in the bracket BUSINESS now!

I was afraid that this day would eventually come.

Everyone can debate all day re: “Chloe’s a better actress so she should be the bigger Fug. Bai can’t act so she should be the bigger Fug. Etc, etc. ...”

I have a different assessment of this dilemma.

For now, I would like to appeal to the female readership of Go Fug Yourself.

If Bai Ling wins this round, she will go onto the eventual finals, and will no doubt be pleased by all the free publicity that she’s getting out of this contest. No true harm done here.

However … with Bai’s “win”, Chloe Sevigny will pretend this contest never happened and blow this whole road block off as a minor blip on her ascendance to fashion supremacy. She will position herself as a fashion tastemaker and “designer”. The fashion mags will continue to herald her as the new messiah of how women should dress. Her horrible couture collections will be imitated by mass market producers and other fashion houses until there are no wearable clothes left for women that aren’t FUG AS ALL GET OUT!!

It will be YOU, Ladies that will ultimately suffer the most.

It will be YOU; Ladies who will be unable to run out to the stores at the last minute to buy a dress for a sudden somber occasion and end up attending a funeral dressed like a candidate for Clown College.

It will be YOU, Ladies who will scandalize your grandmother at Christmas dinner because all you could buy in your size was a hot pink bubble mini-skirt so short that it exposes your private parts, a pair of gold gladiator sandals, and a mohair fur sweater that looks like a Yeti died on you.

It will be YOU, Ladies who will have to report to your new job at a Fortune 500 company wearing a tie-dyed acid green body stocking topped with a Mayan serape and a gaucho hat.

And it will be ME, the best “guy-friend” who will suffer by suppressing my unsupressable laughter when my next female friend asks me “Does this Purple strapless ¾ sleeve shiny polyester disco jumpsuit with the flower appliqués on the butt make me look fat?”

I will lose female friends left and right as I bust a gut from laughing about how ridiculous every girl I know looks running around town looking like desperate fools as they try to cover their bodies in the only clothes that are left due to the Chloe’s Reign of Fashion Tyranny.

Don’t let this misguided fashion fiend skate out of this one. Tell Elle, Glamour, Harpers Bazaar, and Vogue that you won’t take it anymore by refusing to buy into the idea that Chloe really is an avant-guard cutting edge fashion icon.

VOTE FOR CHLOE SEVIGNY AS THE BIGGER FUGGER!! A vote for Chloe here is a vote for your future sanity.

You are only saving yourselves.

See, this is the essence of defining fug. Both are consistently ridiculous, but Bai Ling is always going for slutty as well, while the Sev is pure fug. I can see an argument for purity, and an argument for fug with a side of tramp.

For me though, looking cheap is just a matter of wanting to, so no points just for that (though as a guy, I'm all for it in general). It's the quality of fug, pure and simple, and Bai Ling just isn't up to the misguided craziness of the Sev.

Stuck on haiku
Love me a happy fugger
Bai Ling for the win!

Too hard!!!!

Or rather
Stuck on THESE haikus
Unless the "i" stands alone
I still love Bai Ling

Bai all the way, at least the Sev covers her cooch.

Definitely Chloe. You can tell it's a game for Bai Ling, she does it for the attention. Chloe thinks she's really fashion forward, and that we're the simpletons who just don't get it. Arrogance over nuts anyday.

Once upon a time Chloe was told that she was an "it" girl, and she's been fugging away ever since. It's time she gets the recognition she deserves!

COME ON BAI LING!!!

NOOOO! Chloe must be stopped - EVERYONE knows Bai Ling is bananas, but the whole Chloe-is-fashion-forward-genius thing has got to end. VOTE 4 sanity people!

I'm with Jules on the fugnanigans!! Please get Intern George to check the server logs--there is something very wrong.

Also check out this crazy post by one "Rita":

Everything Chloe wears, is a more extreme version of whats about to be in style in a year or two.

Can you be a little more specific with that claim, "Rita" (or should I say ... "Chloe?"!!>>!) What pale imitation of your prescience do you suppose we poor little hoi polloi were reduced to? Could it be the pink satin "hefty bag" with kicky neckscarf combo? The knee-length-white-cotton-bag'n'ankle boots confection you wore to your blow-jobbin' premiere? Any number of grotesque see-through / bead curtain "skirts"?

I haven't seen anybody wearing anything, ever, remotely like anything you have worn, ever (except that one orange dress,) thank god.

http://gofugyourself.typepad.com/go_fug_yourself/2004/08/a_fugbute_to_ch.html

I cannot believe that Bai is winning. This is Chloe fugging Sevigny people! Think of the collection, think of Vincent Gallo!

People, this is about FUG! Chloe is fugglier in every way.

Bai is crazy, and smiles a lot. Chloe means it, always.
Bai shoplifts from airport gift shops and shows up where she's not wanted. Chloe thinks she's deep.

I don't know if 4 quarters is enough for this one, overtime might be required.

Hmmm I agree with the person down below somewhere. Bai Ling is allowed to dress like she's crazy, because she is. Chloe Seven whatever, really seems convinced that she's hot stuff. Sorry to break it to you my delusional sister, the only thing hot about you, is probably your breath.

Gotta go with Chloe. She's an actual working actress with more money to play with and still ends up looking like that.

Number one and two seeds head-to-head - this is where the fug meets the road! And unfortunately for Chloe, she is going to have to wear BLing's tire tracks all over her derrier.

This could be the next step toward an all-squirrel nut finals against ShaStone.

God, I love this country!

This is certainly the toughest battle yet! I had to give it to Chloe because her style choices amuse and fascinate me, while Bai Ling always just angers me.

AHHHH! How is Bai winning???!! This angers me! OPENING CEREMONY PEOPLE! VINCENT GALLO! And remember that sweatpants jumpsuit with the drawstrings and the white ray bans??!! I mean, COME ON.

....the fact that this angers me also worries me. I have far too much time on my hands...

Look, I hate Chloe's idiotic wardrobe choices too and I think she looks like she must smell— but BAI LING! Look at her! Nipples and bandaid accessories!
I wish Chloe would go away, but Bai, oh! Her fugginess brings me so much joy. She really should win this whole madness.

Jules and Maria, I hope you're right and that Intern George can get to the bottom of the Chloe-heavy yet Bai-winning upset (oh how I'd love to see his furrowed brow UP CLOSE). But if in fact Bai wins, I rely on the infamous words of Dorothy Parker, "You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think."

Then on to the finals!

For me, it's Chloe all the way. Bai is crazy and she knows it, Chloe's actually taking her choices seriously. And she looks dangerous.

I can't vote for Bai. It's not nice to fug the mentally ill.

I. CAN'T. CHOOSE. Someone, please tell me how to vote! How do you choose between them? Chloe, who thinks she's an icon and--those godawful white sunglasses--lawdamercy. But then Bai. She just crazy. CRAZY. I could vote based on who's trying too hard, but they both fit that criteria.

OK, I just scrolled back and the name "Vincent Gallo" popped out. I think based on that, Chloe gets it.

But yeah, you see, the thing is:

Bai Ling is having FUN.

Chloe Sevigny is making some sort of Indie/Fuggerer's New Clothes/Insufferable Chin Prominence Statement. Bai Ling is just silly and ridiculous, and she's always smiling. No haughty, chinny smugness from Bai Ling. Or Ling Bai, depending.

Vote goes to Smugigny.

For all of you TORN by this decision, let me help you out:
VOTE THE SEV '08!

Squee!! Go, B.Ling! You're pulling ahead!
My heart broke with the loss of our little C.Peld, and now I've turned my fugweary hopes to you.
Damn, this shit is emotionally exhausting.

ok, i had to go with chloe, just because i think bai ling dresses crazy and KNOWS its crazy, but chloe sevigny thinks shes FASHIONABLE. she released her own line, so obviously she thinks she knows what looks good... which i think is a worse fug than just plain crazy.

Ow, my eyes.

Bai! Long may she fug. (I can't believe the Peldon's out).

Chloe INVENTED fug. Bai is merely following in Chloe's badly chosen shoes. Chloe is a pioneer, a trail blazer in the wild worldof Fug and therefore, she wins by default. There can be only one...

I'm sure there is some story or parable in the Old Testament about choices like this, and somebody's child winds up getting in cut in half . . . I had to go with La Ling. At least Sevigny is sporting some high end labels.

Good lord, I feel like this is the fug equivalent of a civil war. I demand a recount!

This IS turning into a civil war! Why, oh, WHY did Bai Ling and Chloe Sevigny have to end up in the same bracket?!?! Regardless, I voted for Bai Ling. Bai Ling FTW!!!!!

See Bai... it feels like she's trying to be batty. Chloe looks like she's trying to be trendy. Which makes her way more fug. Chloe for the win.

Is Princess Catsuit McCigarette's collar made from real cats?

Chloe all the way..........

THIS IS THE HARDEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE.

Reluctantly I will go with Allegedly A Real Actress over Nipples Ahoy.

But they're both so so so so deserving of the trophy.

Bai, baby Bai. Lack of self awareness is what tips it for me.

Recount! Recount! Chloe is the fuggier, we all know it. FUGNANIGANS!!!!
Pass the tequila, please... this is crazy!

Hum... I think Edxxk up there has a point... Chloe it is. I do hope the end result will get the media attention it deserves.

Consider this: Do you really want a commemorative t-shirt with Chloe Sevigny's face on it?
I thought not.

If Bai Ling were to win the Grand Queen of Fug title, she would quite likely love it. And while I traditionally encourage (with a sick fascination) any occasion that inspires Bai to put on a party dress (or her version thereof), I think we do the world a greater service by sending Chloe on to the finals and eventual victory.

The world that lauds Chloe's style as iconic and (God forbid) prescient must see her crowned Fug Supreme. We owe it to the children. She's released her own line, for goodness' sake! She must be exposed (figuratively)!

Pick Chloe. She is way more heinous, and is trying to dump this total lack of any kind of personal style on OTHERS. Bai is just looking for a little attention. Chloe is gross. The epitome of fug behavior is EVERYTHING Chloe did in Brown Bunny. Need I say more?

Chloe thinks she is a fashion hero. She needs to be dethroned. There is only so much hipster she can take. If 11,000+ people think she is fuglier than Bai Ling, maybe she'll stop. At the very least, she'll be humiliated.

Vote Chloe, people. She needs to have some pain inflicted on her. I want to hurt her more than I want to love Bai Ling.

Tough one indeed. At least CS has talent going for her. Huzzah!

Make that only so much hipster *one* can take.

Sorry, the fug has killed my eyesight.

Come ON - it's got to be Chloe! She is mocking us, people! MOCKING US!

This may be the upset of the century!

I have to go with Bai Ling here. Say what you want about Chloe, but at least she doesn't purposely expose herself as part of her fashion (on a daily basis).

In the first rounds, I though Bai was the Fug to beat. But, when it came to finger-pushing time on this round, I hesitated . . . and for the first time, had to read the comments before voting. The fug Chloe crowd pulled me over. OMG . . . I voted against Bai before the final? I know teguila season doesn't officially start until Cinquo de Mayo, but I think I need to start early. My first margarita of the season. Cheers H&J - this ones for you!

I feel like Chole really embodies fug. I look forward to Bai more, but when I hear fug I'm thinking Chloe.

Here's the thing:

When Gwen and Helena Bonham Carter lost, posters commented that they had developed a unique sense of style; it's fugly, but it's their own. The same is true about Chloe. Everything she wears is hideous, and yet, I think she could possibly make it to Episode 3 or 4 in a season of Project Runway. I would compare her to Season 3's Vincent.

Bai Ling, on the other hand... she is a hot tranny mess, and she's going to win this whole thing.

In the words of the great (and seriously fug) Katt Williams: "This is BULLSHIT!"
Do you people actually think I believe that Bai Ling is winning here? Who could possibly vote for her after seeing le Sev in that foul ass grey cotton catsuit, looking like an oversexed gym teacher?

What we have here is a failure to communicate. Don't be mad when you can't get the occasional cute cheap clothes at Target anymore because the le Sev line is declared so now and hot. Hipster my ass.

I gotta go with Chloe because so many people try and make out like she's some fashion diva and she's NOT.
Bai is clearly crazy which endears her to me for some reason.

Damn, what a toughie!

But I had to vote for Chloe in the end not on the grounds of sheer fugness, but for her self-delusion.

Bai Ling is trying to get exposure and work by deliberately dressing like a loon, and well, she's accomplished half her modest goals.

But Chloe seems to think she's genuinely fabulous. Oy.

I am so traumatized by this round that I might never look at the fug again. I wanted them to be the wondertwins of fug. It's not possible; it's over. Can posh out Bai the Sev or vice versa? No, no, no. It's over.

How are either of these two going to go up against THE POSH?

Do you ever wonder if the celebrities themselves are aware of this little contest? I mean, how would you feel? It would be tough to decide whether winning an award, no matter how dubious, would make the actual title bearable to wear!

Oh, and if these numbers are final (Chloe 48% and Bai 51%) it is a TOTAL miscarriage of justice!! Incidentally, I can't believe I'm actually super angry about this. Clearly, I need a new hobby.

WHY OH WHY DO YOU MAKE THIS SO HARD???

I had to go with Bai on this one. It wasn't easy but it came down to what has assaulted my eyes more - Chloe's awful (yet genuinely funny) fashions or Bai's awful, scary and just plain skanky fashions? I have never seen a body part of Chloe that I probably shouldn't have, therefore Bai wins. But it was close....

If Sevigny loses, I am going to FLIP OUT. Come on, people, her fug is so rampant that she's trying to force it on others with her clothing line! Bai Ling never showed up somewhere and started handing out mesh dresses and g-strings.

Fuck it. I call a walk off.

Bai may be a hot mess, but in a, "Look, Mommy, I dressed myself!" sort of way; I can deal with happy crazy. Chloe tries to pass off her fug as avante-garde. Her staggeringly pompous attitude is fuglier than any outfit she's ever worn.

"Incidentally, I can't believe I'm actually super angry about this. Clearly, I need a new hobby."

Noodlestein, you are hilarious! :D

I HAD to vote for Chloe based on her history. Like Izzy, above, I agree -- the Sev really thinks she's hip and happenin' and she AIN'T. It's a little sad.

Meanwhile, Bai is playing with us constantly, saying, "Look what I can do!" She's crazy. She's in control. She's a nutball.

Bai Ling for the win. While Chloe is annoying and dresses like a blind woman rifling through the $5 or less bin at Zellers circa 1984, Bai Ling just has no rhyme or reason to anything. Also I beg of you to view the wonder that is the Bai archeive. I feel like it belongs in some sort of Earth and space museum. Bai is bad but creatively bad.

YESSSSSSSSSS
sweet baby jesus in a handbag (which Bai has worn i'm sure) i was so worried about this. Like seriously. It's sad. However seeing my precious nipple flashing Bai clawing her way past the powers of chloe sevigny has brought joy back to my once grey world.
Although... now my world is purple and leopard print which may drive me insane after an hour.

Bai takes er home.
Chloe always seems kind of lost and sad to me...like she has been labelled this hideous mess of fug and she just cant quite seem to ever recover...(sort of like Mel C pre-comback tour Spice Girls. At first she embraced her athletic side..but after a few months of wearing my mom's spring cleaning pants, her spirit looked broken..like she wished when the girls got together to choose their identity over tea she had tried out Suave Spice or Alias Spice...or god forbid..Intellectual Spice. Or at least a persona that would allow her to relase her hair from the conformity of it's scrunchy and put on a real bra.)
I believe Chloe has fallen into the same repetative trap and is just waiting to break free.
Perhaps she can take some pointers from Mel and cut some fabulous bangs?
just a thought.

On the other hand, i hold no sympathy for Bai. She is a true attention whore who thrives off the fug. It is clearly a conscious choice and she must pay.

Dang. I voted Bai, because, well, she's BAI LING, and she's the most...Bai Ling thing going. But having read the comments -- well, some of them, otherwise I'd be here all night -- I have to concur with the the Sev being actively, working at it, slimily fuglier. Bai Ling has blows the lid off things. Sev, well, blows (blew) what's his name. GAH. I want to change my vote.

You commenters are so hilarious! I just want to say thankyou for giving me this physical pain. Possibly a cracked rib. I'm having an awesome time!

I'm crying, how can Bai beat Chloe, how!!!

The fact that these girls inspired fug haiku by Rudy says it all: this is the matchup of the century. Just bow to the tide of fugness and let it was you clean of all your petty, immaterial personal fugging sins. We are in the presence of GREATNESS here, people.

Chloe is perhaps the fugliest dresser of all time. I do not think that anyone has produced a fugglier line of clothing than she. If you add in her crotch-hugging body suit and her complete lack of style...she's a winner.

No way should this be an elite eight match. The seeding committee made a big mistake. Bai deserved a #1. This should be the final.

"No way should this be an elite eight match. The seeding committee made a big mistake. Bai deserved a #1. This should be the final."

They should have at least been in different brackets. This is Fug HELL!

Bai FTW!!!!

They are both pure fugdom! I just wanna see what the stats are - but my vote will go to... the Sev.

I think Bai Ling should win this won. Chloe does wear many a fug out fit but at least she does it with a touch of glam. Bai Ling's fug is simply trashy.

I think if the Sev is knocked out on this round I will boycott further voting. How is it possible that she won't even be in the final four?

I agree with Sarah; I'll boycott further voting if Bai Ling takes this round. Sefugny was the INSPIRATION for this site! She has perpetual camel toe and couldn't go anywhere without those godawful plastic white sunglasses for a long while. Also? She had Vincent Gallo in her mouth. If that ain't the definition of funked-up fug, I don't know what to believe anymore.

To be honest this should have been the final fug match because each of these girls alone can kepp this site running. It was really hard but I went with Bai Ling because being the chick who dresses like she is completely insane is her entire career. Chloe is at least a talented actress with a fairly respectable acting career. Bai Ling is the queen of fug.

Nooooooooooo! I wanted the final showdown to be Posh vs. the Brown Bunny!

Crapcakes.

Ah well. There's always next year.

This was definitely tough! I had to go with Bai Ling, though, because she just seems to have the wider variety of fug looks. So *many* different ways to fug!!

I'm speechless...Cloe thinks she looks amazing! How is Bai beating her?

I witnessed Bai throw a half-full bottle of liquor on the floor at a club. That is unforgivable!

WHAATT?!! Bai Ling can't beat Sev!! She has her own fug fashion line! *Sobs*...what's wrong with you people?!

I'm serious, first LiLo was voted off in the first round against lame-ass Peldon. Now if Bai beats Sev...I just, I can't take the disappointment. PLEASE GOD INTERVENE!!

CRY. Bai is an attention-whore like the Peldons who puts on the wackiest thing imaginable to draw the cameras. Chloe is simply fug through and through, and I hate her so much that there are flames at the sides of my face when I think of her, which is why I started reading you guys in the first place, lo those many years ago. RECOUNT!

I'm serious, Bai Ling can't defeat ChloSev, this isn't right! Bai Ling knows that she looks fug, and loves it. She's like Peldon in that regard. Chloe thinks she is stylish, and is named a style icon...she has her own fug fashion line for f*$ks sake. How can this happen?

NO! I refuse to accept it! How can we live in a world where Chloe Sevigny is not granted her rightful crown as the Queen of Fugdom? This is blasphemy! THIS IS MADNESS!

Ah, well. Bai has her rightful place as well. But the Sev, man, the Sev.

I have to say, I'm disappointed. Chloe should have won on her makeup application skills (lack of) alone! Hell, Bai's makeup always looks camera ready, Chloe looks like a clown! Too bright, too white, too sweaty, greasy, tight, layered. I'm dying here.

"I agree with Sarah; I'll boycott further voting if Bai Ling takes this round."

Is that how Bush got two terms? ;D

NOOOOOOOOOOO!! Chloe cannot lose.

My heart is broken. Bai Ling? Psssh. Chloë Sevigny IS fug. This cannot stand! Recount indeed, Sophia.

I didn't see this up before I left work yesterday. I know I'm on Eastern time, but seriously, what the hell? Something screwy is going on here. ESPECIALLY because Bai Ling somehow seems to have won. She does this to get attention, which makes her sad. Sevigny thinks she's a FASHION ICON. Everything she has ever won is FUGLY! (Not to mention that she'd be at the top of my list for Celebrity Beatings.) What The Fug?

No! I can't believe it! Chloe was supposed to go all the way! Chloe lives and BREATHES fashion and thinks she is a style icon! Magazines have supported her in this and she has a "fashion" line! Let her fug reign supreme!

Are you sure you counted the Florida votes?

Does
Not
Compute.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. That was a donnybrook! Bai takes it by 854 votes! Out of 23,336!

Go Bai, I look forward to you reigning supreme in this years Fug Madness!

*weep* I suspect that Chloe was one of the driving forces behind GFY at its inception, so this result is truly disappointing.

Lelo: thanks SOOO much for posting this, it made the case for Chloe so perfectly (and also made me throw up a little in my mouth):

http://static.flickr.com/7/10280129_4cb33ad7f8.jpg

DEMAND A RECOUNT!!!

RECOUNT! RECOUNT! RECOUNT! (This should sound, in your head, like Al Pacino screaming "Attica, Attica, Attica"!!)

No way the Sev doesn't go all the way. The cosmic forces shall rain wrath upon the heads of those that kept her from her rightful crown. This contest was made for Chloe's fugness, and now we only have despair. Does it really matter who "wins" now? Not for me. :-(

Remember the episode of Friends when Phoebe sees Monica and Chandler through the window engaging in a little
'touchy feely' and she screams "My eyes! My eyes!" Well Chloe and Bai Ling make me want to star in a rendition of that tragic Greek play where one of the characters rips their eyes from the socket. These girls are nauseating to say the least...

Oh hell to the naw! I want some justice, and this ain't it! This was actually the first thing I thought of when I woke up this morning (isn't that scary)--like, it can't be, can it?! I say recount, revote, do-over, walk-off, SOMETHING.

How 'bout this: Celebrity Deathmatch for the win. That way, even if le Sev loses, we'll get to see Bail Ling cheerily gauge her eyes and pull her internal organs out.

NO. WAY. My money was on Chloe Sevigny taking it all, or maybe coming in second to Posh. NO. WAY. CS deserves to win because she thinks she fabulous. BL seems like she's just a nut.

YES!. bai won. thank god. this was the most stressful element of my day yesterday.

It can't believe Chloe lost! This is a travesty of justice.

I guess the only up-side is that, if Chloe actually won Fug of the Year (as I was certain she would), it would somehow just affirm her I'm-so-counterculture-no-one-in-the-mainstream-even-gets-me attitude.

Hey I was devvoed when C.Peld washed out, but I sucked it up and wiped the tears and soldiered on.
...Ya babies!

Heh! Sorry, I am just joshing ya! :D

Whose sadness reigns supreme?

Mine.

However, I know the Fug Girls will gather more and more evidence against the Sev in the coming year. And justice will be done.

This is indeed a dark day. First C Peld goes down (I bet she does!), now the Sev. Sigh.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!!!!!

Can you not tell the difference between the real thing and a wannabe? Fortunately (?), the Sev will kick her fug into an even higher gear this year and show all you amateurs the true meaning of fug.

I'm speechless...how could Chloe have lost? This is inconceivable! Most of the posters seem to be pro-Chloe. Please get Intern George on that recount, stat! (And if not, I would just like to pre-emptively say Chloe Sefugny 09!)

I'm utterly confused over this outcome.

At least poor Bai looks like she bathes, folks.

NOOOOOOOOOO!

I can't believe it! 'CHLOE P WIN' has already been scrawled in giant letters across my scoresheet!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please, God, Chloe CAN'T have lost! WHY???!!!

I am so upset about this right now.
I'm boycotting all and everything Bai Ling.

I can't understand the Chloe supporters here at all. She is BORING compared to Bai Ling, one of the craziest fuggers ever, with an unbelievable variety of fug!

As an explaination of my Bai vote:

The Sev is hideous, horrendous, fugly and vile. I loathe her bitchface and both her "fashion line" and "iconic" status. HOWEVER, I look on the Fug awards in a positive, giggly way. As such, I refuse to give her the honor of reigning as the Supreme Queen of Fug. Besides, don't you realise that voting her as the fugliest of them all won't stop her, or make her reconsider what she wears; it will only reinforce her delusion that everyone else is too backwards to understand her genius! She would embrace the title, and make us all suffer with further atrocities, and that can't be allowed.
