Fug Madness 2008: Final Game

Sharon was robbed :(

I literally cannot decide. Bai is more straight fug, where Posh has more fab fugulosity.

i almost didn't vote because the final two is so disapointing....however i'm voting for posh ONLY because she's much more in the public eye than bai ling. in fact, if it wasn't for GFY, i don't think most of us would have any idea who bai ling was. she's just attention starved, unlike posh who has more than enough attention and dresses the way she does when she knows people are already looking at her.

I thought about this match-up all weekend, and after much thought, prayer, and several vodka tonics, I had to go with Posh.

Bai is a formidable opponent, don't get me wrong, but Posh OWNS the fug. She WORKS it. She peddles it on others with her Marc Jacobs ads, picking the latest Project Runway winner, and work as a stylist. I mean, we have Posh to thank for single-handedly attaching the fug training wheels to Kate Holmes, for jeebus' sake! She's MAY-JAH.

And, my personal morals do not allow me to vote for someone whom I believe is fug because of a brain chemical imbalance. And Bai between her blog and her petty shoplifting, I'm pretty sure Bai's fug is the physical manifestation of a deep-seated bipolar disorder.

Go Team Bai!

I drew a paperdoll version of one of her outfits to show my support: http://joechip.net/liana/2008/04/06/bai-ling-green-satin-corset-and-plaid-balloon-skirt-via-go-fug-yourself/

I've gotta go with Bai on this one, if only because Posh does occasionally put together a completely fab outfit that I spend days coveting. Bai Ling, on the other hand, lives in Halloween costume territory 24/7.

I voted for Bai, for two reasons: 1)I don't want to crush the hopes and dreams of Christian from Project Runway, and 2)negative attention is better than no attention at all, and if we don't give it to Bai, who will?

Bai Ling is winning by a large margin? oh come on! Go POSH!

This was such a hard decision! I had to give it to Bai based on the fact that Posh is only 3 bags full of crazy, whereas Bai is about 14 and a half bags full of crazy.

I refuse to vote here. Chloë Sevigny is the true and deserving winner. This comment shall serve as my write-in. Who's with me?

The thing is - sometimes I really like the way Posh looks -- she actually has some style (if not class)

Bai Ling has the lock on looking fugly, skanky, (nipply) and I have never seen her look normal or non-slutty or non-attention-grabbing.

Posh owns the room; Bai Ling owns the fug...

I thought Bai would win, but not by such a large margin! It's got to be the blogging that turned her into a Fug Secretariat!

Very very hard indeed. Granted, I'm very disappointed the Final Showdown isn't Chloe Sevigny and Courtney Peldon (How did Sharon Stone beat her?!).

Anyways: High Fashion Fug vs. Just Plain Crazy Fug? ... I can't decide. I just can't.

I'm with you, K.Fo. Chloë all the way!

gotta go to posh her style really is as bad as the spice girl days!

Concrete Tits HAS to win this. Her fug is geniune, Bai Ling's is caused by insanity. You cannot help insanity! Come on sweetlings, do it for our Vic! Do it for The Fug Girl's My Little Pony Collection!!!!!1!SHIFTONE!!

I have a confession to make - I don't hate Posh's zebra print outfit. It was for an MTV event and, I feel, it wasn't off the mark.

I have to vote Bai, even though something about her has warmed my heart. I still think many of Posh's outfits are much simpler and sleeker than anything La Stone or Bai ever fugged... and there is merit in that. I guess.

I voted for Bai because:

1. her blog is shockingly awesome- in a bad bad way.
2. Posh's arm candy is so pretty- he counteracts a part of her fug.

And whomever was able to knock the Sev out should win this shootin match.

Vodka Red Bull, anyone?

Neither of these two even comes close to the fully-ripened and mature fug that is Sharon Stone. That being said, Posh has to beat Bai - there's a huge difference between being fug and just being trashy.

Bai FTW! I just have to say that it's a sham to have Vix go so far just to end up here. I think both are fugly fabulous and surprisingly beat out many other contenders. America has spoken!

bai ling is my favorite celebrity

I'm still trying to figure out how Chloe is not in the final two...but I had to go with Bai. She's just so consistently terrible.

I am heartbroken - the Queen of all fugliness was, IMHO, Chloe and I can't believe she didn't make it to the final. I had to vote for Posh because, in the same vein as Chloe, she seems to truly believe that what she is wearing is stylish. You know that Bai is just wearing her crazy outfits to get attention which is way different from trying to convince the world you are on the cutting edge of fashion. Anyway, long live all the fugly celebrities and thanks to the Go Fug Yourself girls for giving me something to look forward to every day. Chloe, honey, you need to pull up your leg-warmers and make it to the finale next year!

"And in many ways, Bai IS a Pinata of Fug: loud; extremely colorful; possibly sweet inside (we don't know!); fun at parties; takes a ton of hits but won't give in; full of surprises; potentially not the classiest addition to an event; possibly dangerous; maybe partially constructed using chicken wire; and spends a lot of time hanging from the rafters."

No one will EVER express it better than that!
You Fug Girls can break down and encapsulate the crazy like no one else. You are AWESOME.

Bai for the win! Because of the entirety of the pinata reference!
Posh is just a sorry, second-rate entrant in comparison.

I dreamed of a Posh-Lopez matchup but was denied.

You can't give this to Bai, ladies. She's more circus freak than fugly fashion plate.

Posh 4evah!

no way does posh win this. bai is fug beyond words. if only because posh is an attempt to be very vogue. bai is crazypants.

i voted for Bai BECAUSE she warms my heart! shel be happy of the attention, whereas posh wud pretend not to care then cry at night:(

I still wish Paris Hilton were in the running. It is not only my disdain for her as a person, but also the hideous wardrobe. But these final two are also pretty damn hideous dressers. I voted for Posh because you'd think with the massive amount of money she has, she could afford: 1. better clothes 2. to pay someone to tell her NOT to wear that.

Bai is SO tempting to vote for because she's just so badly dressed! Like ALL the TIME! But the thing that made me vote for Posh is that she thinks she's a fashion icon or something. Bai influences no one, while Posh is acting like a mentor. It's wrong! Therefore, she gets my vote.

Bai Ling - the teenager. Tries weird fashion ground and looks insane and trashy.
Posh - the finest of the eurotrash. Or "new money".
I hate that look more than cute little teens being "different".

Bai is going to be in a movie with Helen Mirren. Let me repeat that. Helen Mirren. Okay. I feel like that's one of those cosmic events that, much like a glimpse of a comet, can physically happen in theory but most likely won't be seen in our lifetime.

I had to go with Posh b/c I think she actually thinks she looks good b/c it cost money, where as with Bai I think her fug is so she can get her picture taken and be famous.

i don't understand -- winning is a BAD thing, right?

I voted Bai over Paris, but Posh winning the whole thing would be SO HILARIOUS! COME ON, V! You don't come for free! You're a real lay-dee! Zigga zig AH!

C. Sev gets my vote!

Sharon WAS robbed!

I feel robbed on a very personal level. How can the world still be spinning if Chloë "I put the ug in fug" Sevigny is not in the finals?!?! I am with K.Fo. if there was ever a need for a write in candidate, then this is the time!

Common Spice is the queen of fug!

This can't be happening! Bai cannon win. Posh is the queen of fug because she ACTUALLY SEEMS TO THINK SHE LOOKS FABULOUS AND THAT EVERYONE WANTS TO BE HER. While Bai Ling is intentionally wacky and over-the-top, Posh is increasingly a fugly parody of herself, taking herself increasingly seriously all the time. She considers herself the ultimate fashionista. DID EVERYONE NOT SEE THE GROTESQUE SOFT-PORN SPREAD (and i do mean *spread*) IN W MAGAZINE? Sorry to yell, but AAAAAAAAAAGH!

The Sev should still be in, fer sher. These two can't even compare -- Posh still manages to look good while being completely INSANE, and Bai doesn't deserve any kind of award, even this one. Nonetheless, she has my vote. Posh is so badass in her fug that it can hardly be called fug.

I've liked Bai for a long time - before she had her 28 personalities. Red Corner and Anna and the King were great movies and she was fantastic in both. Because I loved the character of Tuptim, and she held her own with Jodie Foster and Chow Yun Fat, she gets my vote.

I can't vote. I never would have put either of these two in the final game, and I can't award either my support for the prize, because they both own their personal styles too much to consider them a true fug. Maybe next year...

Bai Ling all the way. I have never witnessed such a devotion to one's craft. Bai's dedication to fug easily surpasses Daniel Day-Lewis' dedication to a new part/a new pair of shoes, and Ryan Seacrest's dedication to the whole "getting his name out there" thing. Picture each contender in 10 years' time. Posh will have long given up on her nutso wardrobe shenanigans in favour of counting her money all day, and her face will no longer be able to move on its own. Bai Ling, however, can only get fuglier.

Posh is a diva of terrifying proportions. I think H&J are spot on when they talk about the quality of veneer in her appearance. She makes J. Lo look unpolished by comparison, and that is indeed scary. Then again, it wasn't always this way for Posh. She was once one of those frumpy/fab, chav-tastic Spice Girls, only discernable as "Posh" instead of "Sporty" because she was wearing a sort of nice black dress and heels. Now she's a designer's waxwork, and the effect is awesome. And partly, that's why I'm not voting for her.

Bai Ling is all weird, all day, and she's all Bai, all day. It's simple as a retarded goatherd, but it works. As this contest has forced us all to articulate in these comment spaces, there is more than one variety of fug. The Fug that has seized runways and red carpets (and Circle K's) across the world is not just about fashion mistakes, or the hipster notion that skinny rich girls should wear retarded outfits because at the end of the day, they don't need to look good, because they are still skinny and rich.

The Tao of Fug as embodied by Ms. Bai Ling is about daring to dress yourself and bring the sartorial noise... no matter how tragic and wrong. I'm pouring one on the ground for Stone, and I'm going with Bai.

Thank you, Ladies and Gents. It's been awesome.

Oh my. I was really torn, until I revisited the red velvet wine bag legwarmers with the caped bikini on Bai. Her fug is so otherworldly. Posh can certainly mix it up, but Bai is so completely MIXED up. She will win this thing nips down, no question.

Voted for Posh because despite hotness of her husband, when they're together, I can't look at him for very long because her fugliness induces me to vomit in my mouth, thus forcing me to turn away and robbing me of my happy David moment. (Thank goodness for Intern George.)

Initially thought Bai should beat Posh, but I've concluded she's a nutcase. (Yes, this occurred to me just now.) Posh looks like a waste of skin with too much dollars and not enough sense.

Chloe was robbed. Her fug is to the moon! But given the contenders, I must go with band-aid girl Bai Ling since Vix occasionally, if ever so rarely, resembles a normal human being.

This is hard! I love me some Bai. LOVE her! Her desperate bids for attention aren't getting her anything but fug recognition, and how tragic is that, in an underdog at the prom, always the second banana way? She's the most creative, yet she's always overlooked (after the onlookers' eyeballs are singed, that is).

Posh is a crazed, almost-a-scientologist attention addict who seems like an immensely shallow, talentless person who just married well. She would be the prom queeen, but then just get brittle and miserable as she ages, because all she ever had were her looks. She's tragic, but not on a Bai Ling scale!

Ok - I have to go with my sweet, insane little underling Bai.

Tourjours La Sev!

Toujours La Sev!

"I refuse to vote here. Chloë Sevigny is the true and deserving winner. This comment shall serve as my write-in. Who's with me?"

I'm with you, K!

Bai and Posh can both pull it together at times. I know Bai Ling has a bad case of crazy, but there are actual pictures of her looking nice. Remember the purple prom dress? She had a bunch of good pictures in, okay, like February of last year. But it's possible! Plus I find her kind of endearing in her silliness. She wears band-aids on her legs with messages printed on them! And she's pretty and harmless, so my heart is soft on her today. I was shouting "Do it for the Sev" last week, but I am just too sad now.

And Posh! Bony. Skin a color that no god ever intended. Strap-on basketball boobies. Never ever smiles. But she, too, can look great, and I hear she's actually funny and cool.

Chloe Sefugny looks horrible ALWAYS. I didn't even particularly like that high-waisted orange frock with those gold shoes, although I might have tolerated it on someone less annoying and smug. She even plays a hateful person on Big Love.

The Fuggiest of Them All is Chloe. It has always been Chloe, can ONLY BE CHLOE. I abstain.

"I've gotta go with Bai on this one, if only because Posh does occasionally put together a completely fab outfit that I spend days coveting. Bai Ling, on the other hand, lives in Halloween costume territory 24/7."

Susan, I couldn't have said it any better myself! Bai FTW!

I had to vote Posh here. Bai may be insane, but she knows the way she dresses is a trip-- look at her up there smiling! And then look at Posh, scowling like her face won't move (perhaps it won't) as though she thinks if she pulls enough of a model-face, the stuff she's wearing will actually BE FASHION. Delusional as Bai may be, Posh is still more so.

"i don't understand -- winning is a BAD thing, right?

It's hard to say with some of these contestants.
Some of them (no need to mention the obvious names ;D ) dress so thoroughly derangedly and flaunt their weirdness out in the world so regularly, that you have to wonder if this award might actually be a huge compliment to them.

Since Sharon is not here it has to be B-Ling, she is MAJOR Fug. Sorry Vics!

Sorry for the double post. I was too ashamed of the typo.

The Sev truly was robbed. You can tell she thinks about her fug; it's not just cluelessness (Ling) or classlessness (Posh).

Still can't believe Chloe isn't in the final! I think winning this might break poor Posh's heart and I just can't do it to her. So the crazy half naked Bai Ling gets my vote.

This is a tough one. Posh is so fabulously fuggy that she hasn't an equal in all the land...I had to vote for her.

And guys, I just want you to know, I took this vote so much more seriously than I take the presidential race. Cause Fug Madness actually matters.

Posh. Because she is British and I am ashamed of her.

Posh, oh Posh, I worship your Beckham-bonking, whippet-thin, sulky soul of fashion fugliness. And besides: How can ANYONE compete with a woman who has an entire wardrobe of Birken bags?! They're like 10K a pop and Lady Becks has like 20 and one is HOT PINK. That, my fug fan friends, is what it means to truly COMMIT to the fashion moment. Plus, SHE wrote a book about being fabulous even though she's admitted she doesn't even READ books. AND, let us not forget, she had three Beckham spawns and still looks fierce. And, oh yeah, speaking of fierce, her praise made Christian cry in the Project Runway finale. Take THAT, Bai.

And yes, I too was crushed by the loss of the true fugvaciousnes of the horrific Sev.

But remember fellow mourners ... the Sev is young and wildly self absorbed. She's an evil genius of the fug, and she will not fail to provide us with a year's worth of delectable hideousness! Mark my words, she WILL triumph next year.

Team Chloë FTW 2009!!!

Am shocked I am not voting for C. Sev, the High Priestess of Fug. I too have to begrudgingly vote for Bai because Posh can pull off those Roland Mouret frocks and make me worship her style. Bai is also the underdog seed AND is the tasteless fug cousin of Sharon Stone. Kick Posh to the curb Bai Looney-Ling!!

I had to vote for Posh. She's so humorless. I feel like Bai Ling at least has some fun with her fugliness.

I enjoy Bai's fug but I never enjoy Posh's. She needs to be punsished - vote 1 posh!

I think I am going to go with Posh because Bai seems to dress this way with an eye to getting attention because it all just so horrible. Seems so affected. Whereas Posh is trying to be serious and that somehow seems so much worse. Also, Posh's whole uber-tan, hair extension, shinny Football Wife thing irks me.

I have no desire to see or know anything of Posh, along with Paris, Peldon, and Speidi. Whenever they get fugged, I just wish they'd go away. Chloe Sevigny has a degree of talent and therefore I wish she'd shape up.

Two people on this site give me trills of joy whenever they are the fug dujour: Sharon Stone and Bai Ling. And of the two, I feel like Bai would be more likely to, when hearing that she has won, call up the Fug Girls for a photoshoot in which she wears a patchwork bikini (that's about as much as she'd cover) made of bits of everything she has ever worn on the site, along with a turban. A feathered turban.

In hopes that this will happen, Bai FTW 4EVAH.

Bai uses the fug to her own advantage - it keeps her the press. Posh, on the other hand, gets no benefit from dressing horribly, has way more money and so should be able to dress better, and also KNOWS BETTER based on all the times she looks great. So I had to vote Posh - she's fug without a good reason!

Yes I am also torn over this for many of the very same reasons already expressed above. BUT I think I have found a fug-breaker for my girl Bai. THE BANGS. They are straightened beyond any reasonable straightening, stiff beyond all rational stiffening and consistently mashing her face into the top of her skull. Sometimes she does put the bangs away, you can see that she is actually pretty. But more often than not she comes back with THE BANGS at full effect. THE BANGS take whatever outfit she is working with and pushes it to umpteenth degree of fug. The outfits, the bangs, no contest Bai Ling take is all.

I gotta vote for Posh: there's something about the tan and the boobs, my GOD, the GLOBULAR BOOBS, the very aggressiveness of her assault on our collective eyeballs. Poor Bai Ling: she might be actually crazy, and I can't hold her accountable (nor any of her many personalities) for her wacko outfits.

GO TEAM LING!

I'm still unclear as to how we're supposed to vote. Vote for the person you like, or the person you dislike? lol

I had to vote for Posh. Bai is just cheeky and crazy. Posh thinks she's fashionable - which is far scarier.

arrrggh! bai i expected, but posh? C. Sev or Rabid Beaver or C. Pled. heck, even Lohan. it's been an awesome trip through the brackets, but posh makes it kinda disappointing, like, when your alma mater gets booted in the final four and you just don't care about the outcome anymore. Bai should take it based on creativity alone. i'm sure posh has a stylist. which, actually, might make her a better choice. i just can't decide!!

See, I think Posh actually thinks she dresses well.

Oh, come on people: Bai is playful, ironic, doesn't take herself too seriously, and SMILES. Posh thinks she's the UK's sour-faced gift to America. Celebrity style reflects who they are, and at some point, the concept of "FUG" isn't just about fashion any more, but starts to encompass personal values. On the "Who is a bigger jerk?" scale of things, humorless, self-important Posh wins, hands down.

Like many of my comrades here, I was truly hoping for a Chlo-Sev win.

She embodies the true essence of fug like no other human being ever photographed and called a fashion 'icon'.

*It was actually hard for me to type 'fashion icon' whilst referring to La Sev*

Since Poor Chloe was robbed earlier, I'll have to go with Posh for this one.

Posh thinks she's stylish. Chloe THINKS SHE is stylist.

Bai doesn't care... she's just crazy. That's not fug, that's just whacky, and I love Bai for it.

So there you have it. Fug does not equal crazy.

Fug equals an irrational assumption that what one is wearing is fashionable and envied by others, when in fact, others are scratching their heads, retching and/or saying aloud 'WTF is she WEARING??'

Therefore, I'm with Posh.

Sadly, as she is a pale, weak substitute for the High Priestess of Fug, Chloe Sevigny.

I personally agree that Sharon should have won. This was her race. But between these two: Bai hands down. I think Posh is just TRYING to be fabulous and trend setting but she needs guidance.

I agree Liz. It's a bit of a bummer. And Posh didn't really have the chops to beat the R.Beav.

I can't decide! Posh, I just hate. Ew, ew, fug. But the scariest thing of all is that I've now subscribed to Bai Ling's rss feed for her Blog and I've gotten FOND of her! Protective of her! I feel she's a delicate little flower soul with no brain, just like a sweet little kitten who needs my love, I can't fug HER, my little FRIEND --- oh god. What's happened to me? ARGHHHHHHH!

I'm with Team Chloe.

See, the thing is, I feel that the whole point of this has been lost. FUG is a bad thing. It is an abbreviation. I feel Posh and especially sweet, crazy, Bai are not deserving of such a title. Posh is harmlessly self-absorbed. Bai is just in love with the world, and sort of left of center. The Sev, on the other hand...

I still don't understand how Chloe is not here right now.

YES. Why is Chloe Sev. not here? She IS the rightful winner.

I abstain. Chloe gets my write-in vote. Such a disappointing final!

I have to vote for Bai because she looks so happy with herself - like a little kid who brings you a pile of poo and says, "Look what I found!" I think Bai sleeps in her clothes and whatever sticks when she gets up is what she wears that day. And give the girl credit, she makes the most of her opportunities. (I also secretly wish I could wear some of her kooky to work.)

Posh appears to be manufacturing her fug, e.g. the dress with no side seams. And she doesn't get that it's funny. Sturm und drang instead of fug is fun.

This match up is a little disappointing. Both contenders take such an obvious joy in looking like Hooker Barbie at a Super Villain Convention. I was hoping that the final match up would be victims of either I-Actually-Thought-This-Looked-Okay (J. Love Hew)or You-Are-Simply-Not-Cool-Enough-To-Understand-My-Splendour(Sienna Miller). Maybe it's for the best. Either of our final contenders will be tickled pink at a victory and no one has to feel embarassed or publicly ridiculed...and everyone is happy

If there were any justice, Bai and her bracketmate Chloe would be competing in the finals, but Bai should still emerge victorious over Victoria.

Elin, Bai is no teenager - she's 37.

Posh is a wannabe Bai.

I would've liked to see Bai & Chloe fight it out.

Sharon Stone was robbed!

Please. Like this is a contest? Bai consistently goes out in public dressed in the discards from a summer camp costume bin. Say what you will about Posh, but at least the clothing she wears is recognizable as clothing. Bai has accessorized with Band-Aids! What next? Silly string? Tile grout? Tic Tacs? No. Bai for the win.

And I am still 100% in favor of the Sev for Miss Congeniality.

I am disappointed Jordan didn't make it into the brackets! She'd TROUNCE Posh (whom I love too much to vote for).

I knew from the start that Bai Ling would win this. I just KNEW it. She is the Queen of the Fug.

And she'll probably be pleased with the award, too.

Part of the problem here is an issue of battle asymmetricality. Now Bai v. Peldon, that would be a fair, and fierce match up of two women who use their insane lack of taste to advance their feeble careers. Chloe and Posh would also have made an interesting match-up as more (Chloe) or less (Posh) legitimate talents who are attempting to widen the recognized boundaries of taste. I call for a rematch!

This was at least as hard as the Bai vs. Paris bracket, but when it comes to choosing between a batsh*t crazy yet ultimately harmless battery-stealer and an untalented whore with a greasy complexion and the worst fake tits Mexico has ever turned out, I go with the crazy.

I suppose this is what happens with basketball too? All your favourites are eliminated in nail-biting competitions and you find yourself at the finals thinking: "But where the hell is Sharon Stone (or her baskbetball equivalent?)"

I voted Posh because - as mentioned above - everyone keeps telling me she's posh but I have the distinct impression she's a Chav. Bai is in the lead but far less likely to end up a role model for young women.

Sigh: voted for Bai Ling. But I have to agree that it should have been Chloe Sevigny and Courtney Peldon in the final...

this one is easy...Bai is batshit fug supreme.

Chloe should still be in this. I want to vote for Chloe.

This is sweet torture indeed, who'd I choose? I am half Brit and half Chinese, I can't stand up for either one on that ground, and both are so deliciously fugly.

Does anyone know what Bai Ling actually DOES?

Definitely Bai. I mean, I'm equally terrified of both but Bai has more personalities that could kill me and leave me in a back alley somewhere, covered in neon green glitter and possibly an extra leg with ripped fishnet stockings.

I'm thinking of my safety, here.

Thank you, Heather and Jessica, for Fug Madness. Well played!

I actually shouted out loud, "NO FREAKING WAY!!" when I found out that not only was Sharon Stone knocked out of the competition, but my girl, Chloe, was out as well. The final should have been Sharon vs. Chloe all the way. I am truly disappointed in the final two contenders. The poll isn't working, so maybe that's fate's way of telling me not to vote. Next year, Chloe, it's all yours.

Does anyone know what Bai Ling actually DOES?

Bai! Because then if she wins, as per her blog....

"Yes! Let's celebrate of my new movie tonight! Champagne and red wine, vodka and chinese white wine, tequila and joint? Yes all of them! Why not! "

So maybe Bai will celebrate "of winning fug" and invite us. If so, pass me... tequila and joint, please.

I voted for Bai, based purely on my reactions to her body of work (so to speak).

Whereas Posh usually elicits a "Yeesh" or sometimes an "Oy" from me, Bai never fails to elicit a steady string of reactions more akin to "Holy Sheep Shit, WTF is she WEARING?!?!" and then I need a drink.

Bai for the win, EASY!

Bai uses band aids for accessories! Do I need to go on???

If Bai wins, my faith in the fug-readers will be crushed. Though Bai is an able contender, Posh wins on her attitude of pure certainty of her own fabulosity, whereas Bai is more like "heehee, can you believe I wore this?".

What does Bai do? She does fug for a living. Apparently nothing else. I so hope Heather and Jessica do this on tv next year.

Bai for the win, because even if Posh's clothes are awful, her shoes are nearly always fantastic. Not so with Bai. Her outfits are all-together-awful.

And so ends my Fug Madness with my last vote for La Ling. She's a whole lotta crazy and I just can't stand it any longer and have to shout it from the roof tops "OMG WHAT THE FUG IS SHE BLOODY WELL WEARING NOW??!!"

Posh to me is "tacky yet fab yet crazy but doesn't it look kinda awesome?" kinda fug. If I were to sustain a serious head injury, take up boobie torture in the form of TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT dresses and stop eating? I'd probably dress like Posh.

But Bai? Crap-tastic doesn't even remotely describe how Fug she is.

So hats off and golf claps to Bai - she's probably gonna win the whole thing! But it's only noon in the midwest so the sun could still go down on Posh being the Fugliest of them all.

Which wouldn't exactly break my heart cuz honestly - it's a frickin photo finish with these 2!

LOVE THE FUG GIRLS - They bring joy to an otherwise cruel world.

I had to go with Posh. Bai's just crazy, but Posh thinks she's actually a fashion icon. Which is Just. So. Wrong.

Oh my god, such a choice. But Posh was so maj-ah in her reality show special, and actually can pull off a styled, coiffed look more than once a year. Posh also honest to God believes that what she is doing is high fashion.

Meanwhile, Bai is... Well, I will summarize it to you as this, an average Sunday night with Bai Ling. Bai is sitting in a room full of mirrors having a conversation with all thirteen known personalities (And a few that is not). After ripping a Frederick's of Hollywood corset and duct-taping it on so it is a skirt with the highest slit ever recorded in the history of Bai Ling, she pairs it with ripped fishnet stockings she stole from Britney. However, at this point, Personality #17 begins talking back about Bai's lack of singing success and how she was supposed to be the Chinese version of Britney, and Bai descends into a screaming fit of madness. Hours later, she emerges wearing nothing but the corset-skirt and a white t shirt with sparkling tassels attached over it, and fragments of glass in her hair.

And that is why Bai Ling should win. Well, that and her blog, too.

Bai, Bai, Vickie!

I showed the finalist's archives to my husband. He saw Posh's first and kept saying, "What's wrong with that?" I refrained from strangling him and showed him Bai's.

Without hesitation, he declared Bai the fuggiest. I voted for her on her own merits, but it's nice to know the SO agrees with me on this!

Bai is the very reason a site like GFY exists, in turn, she exists only through her recognition on this site. In true tautological fashion, she invented Fug, and Fug invented her. She is the very hub of all the Fugness in the Universe. She gives fug context. Without her, all falls apart- Leggings are relegated back to the 80s, Uggs are universally accepted as heinous footwear, dogs and cats living together... You get the idea. It means the apocalypse of fug. Without her, fug is meaningless.

Posh is a worthy adversary, but in a different contest altogether, where she competes with the likes of Sharon Stone, Beyonce and J. Lo. (hopefully in a glorious thunderdome, glittering with sequins and rhinestones, where they are loudly coached from the sidelines by Lagerfeld, Versace, et al, and their costumes all match- almost.) That kind of fug is an entity unto itself. As is Bai. An entity. And hopefully, High Priestess of the Clan of Fug.

I'm boycotting. If not Chloe, then no one!!

Bai, Bai, Bai!!! She's fabulous, not least because she once played a renegade princess (aka "Bringer of Chaos") from another dimension on Angel, a dimension of women so hot they needed to be kept in ice baths to keep from immolating our dimension's males with their hotness. So I figure Bai has fug credit in at least two worlds, probably more.

I disagree with all who feel Chloe deserves the title. With her ego, she would manage to twist it around to prove that her greatness is impossible for mere mortals to understand. I say Bai deserves it, just for the sheer entertainment value she affords. She's kooky, but harmlessly so (or so it seems), and her outfits never fail to make me blink in utter disbelief. Chloe doesn't deserve to win anything in my mind, so I went with the person who has always come through when I needed to be amused.

I am with the Sev. camp. Someone posted a comment admitting that they voted SEVERAL times for Bai over Chloe in the Charo bracket. The fix was in! Cheaters make me sad.

Bai, because at least Posh pulls off her crazy shit.

Ladies (and gents....I'm sure there are fellas who LOVE the Fug Girls as much as we do!) - if you have a spare minute or 20 - CHECK out Bai Ling's BLOG. It is Crazy with the Volume Turned to Supersonic. And the best laugh I've had in a while.

I laughed so hard I snorted and then proceeded to cough up a lung. I've had to stop reading for fear of my life. But I will return later to read more with a tall glass of water cuz honestly, it is frickin hilarious. I just can't help myself!

Team Chloe all the way! She is the only one at the top doing her thing from a pure fashion stand-point (versus just as attention grabbing), which makes it all the more fug!

Can we do a write-in vote? I still feel The Sev OWNS this title.

Bai wins because she's more crazy, what-the-hey-is-she-wearing fug, whereas Posh's fug is like, oh it's Posh, she's English, whatever.

I had to vote for Bai...VB looks good sometimes, and you can tell she really tries. Bai just looks HORRIBLE ALL the time. Truly FUG.

My browser only allows a single vote per match. If others are able to vote again and again, then yeah it's not really a true indicator of the public's Conscience de Fug.
But hey, how cool is it that we take our Fug so seriously!? It has been so much fun and I am so bummed that it's drawing to an end!
I'm with the others that have said they want to start a new one! hehe I have no idea who would battle, and of course Heather and Jessica would probably need a nap first...

ugh, chloe sevigny should be here

It should be Chloe Sevigny, her fug was ROBBED!

But I had to go with Bai.

Posh is a formidable contender, but she just can't beat all of Bai's personalities.

Just posting this one for the record as I, too, must abstain.

Chloë's heinousness deserves the win! The Sev FTW in 2009!

Everyone! Are we forgetting the very obvious fact that El Vickster has multiple personalities as well? It's like she wakes up in the morning and thinks 'you know what, today I'm going to be a hip-hop artist/wild-wild-west star/tennis ball. If I wear a lip ring/leather chaps/a tubular flourescent green boob-mangler then it'll happen and everyone will take me seriously in that role! Hurrah!' I think it's hard to match that level of dedication or delusion to the fug. I may be fighting a losing battle, but I beg of you to reconsider Posh.

I actually sat down and made up a spreadsheet with the results of previous rounds and tried to estimate who was more ultimately fug. It had statistics and tried to correlate with the difficulty of the opponents (as given by their seed) and... what can I say, I'm a huge dork.

Anyhow, Bai Ling is a full 26.1% more fug than Posh. At least by my reckoning. Our dear spice hasn't got a chance.

I agree: Chloe Sevigny write-in vote! She is the fug poster (masthead?) girl.

(I couldn't resists pushing the button for Posh, though. There's something kicking-a-puppy about trashing a b-lister, whereas with Posh, I go with the principle that the bigger your budget, the more you should know better. And fer krssakes, your nickname is Posh not TackyMcTryingTooHardersons.)

You Chloe fans are going to have to champaign harder for her next year -- she just didn't squeak out the vote. Back the fug gym for some extra work-outs for her!

Did I vote FOR Posh? No - I voted AGAINST Bai. (Suck it, you frightful trainwreck!)

bai bai bai bai bai!
yeah bai is winning!
all hail the queen of fug bai ling!

dear fug girls, next year is there any way we can register our bracket pics on ths website beforehand and then have there be an pool winner?

Bai all the way. she's not even famous! She just gets publicity for dressing really, really badly.

One more vote for Chloe to be awarded some sort of runner-up prize. I can't believe people didn't greenlight her right through based on her own line!!

But I'm okay with Bai going out on top, so she's who I voted for. Posh can be fug, but she's also hot and stylish enough that I don't think she should have been in the finals. I think people are just voting for her because they don't like her. I agree with the earlier posts, I loved her zebra dress! Totally appropriate for the event.

I'd like Bai to win so maybe Heather and Jessica will write and sequel to the post where Bai and William H Macy are posing together. Still the funniest thing I've ever seen on this site.

"Part of the problem here is an issue of battle asymmetricality. Now Bai v. Peldon, that would be a fair, and fierce match up of two women who use their insane lack of taste to advance their feeble careers. Chloe and Posh would also have made an interesting match-up as...talents who are attempting to widen the recognized boundaries of taste."

Well said! Couldn't agree more!

This might sound kind of small for me to say, but if Posh would only SMILE once in a while or look like she might be having even a TEENSY, TINY bit of fun while at these exclusive events, I would've voted for Bai. If Posh didn't look like it was KILLING her to rub elbows with hot celebs, if Posh didn't look so bored all the time while standing next to her hot hubby, if Posh just seemed like she had some human emotion, I would give Bai the "fugliest of them all" honors. At least Bai's having fun, and while it's undeniable that Bai's outfits are completely fugly, it has to be said that if there's anything worse than a fugly outfit, it's a fugly soul. Of course, I don't know Posh...maybe she loves puppies and kittens and is a laugh to be around, but it NEVER comes across in the photos of her. Instead I find myself rolling my eyes at every picture I see of her, wondering what the heck the rest of the world sees in her. She has the means to knock our proverbial socks off with her clothing choices, but she fails to do so. Bai...well...I don't know what "means" she has or how she keeps getting invited to things, but it's not like I'd expect much from her. Posh, on the other hand, is actually revered by fashionistas worldwide, and it boggles my mind!

Okay, yikes, didn't mean to rant...I should get back to work now!

Go, Posh!

It was the look in Posh's eyes that clinched it for me. She is so smug, so satisfied with her own place in the Fashion Hall of Fame. Someone needs to take her down...

If Bai wins I've lost my faith in my co-voters. C'mon ladies!!!

I had never heard of Bai Ling until a friend pointed me to GFY. Now, I can't get enough of her. Posh is downright dowdy compared to her.

Thanks, Fug Girls, for the hours of enjoyment you provide to catty people everywhere.

I decided not to vote at all, because I'm so sad that Peldon didn't get this far :( Bai is just nuts, and Posh is fantastically outrageously and strangely tacky, and therefore I don't think either of them should win. It should've been Peldon or someone else who simply lacks the ability to see that some things are hideous and not incredibly brilliant, even though you thought so when you were five.

It...was SO HARD to do this one (also, I had Great Fear this morning when I couldn't remember if it was time to vote yet. I was afraid maybe I'd missed The Big Day!).

In the end, I had to choose Bai. Much as I hated voting for someone who's barely even a legitimate celebrity, Posh at least is occasionally stylish, and sometimes fugly-stylish. Bai almost never manages even that. Heh.

Thank you Fug Girls for allowing us to have a say in What (and Who) Makes Fug.

P.S. Thanks for bringing us Fug Madness, girls. It was awesome!!

I'm so disappointed that The Sev isn't in this running. Bai and Posh are fug for sure, but meh, I don't really care who wins. I voted for Posh because she seems like such a raging bitchface. Who is famous for nothing, and seems to think of herself as some sort of icon and trend-setter. She just annoys me. Bai is amusing, and some of her independent Hong Kong movies are kind of good.

Hail Posh - Queen of the frockless strap! ' nuff said!

I vote Bai. The bandaid messages won me over.

Chloe. It's all Chloe.

Not to cry over spilt milk but Sevigny SHOULD BE HERE.

That's all.

I agree with gogolightly...we should have a bracket for "crazies" ie: Bai and C. Peldon, and one for "those who think they are style icons but just dress foolishly" ie: Posh and C. Sev.

Since we don't have that (this year, anyway!), I must vote for Bai, as she is the only one who could've beaten the TRUE Queen of Fug...CHLOE! I'm all for Team Chloe!!

But still, this has been MAY-JUH fun! Thanks, Fug Girls!

It's got to be Bai. I picture Posh with busy stylists, telling her, "Oh, bitch, I have a dress for you that is so fierce!" So, in my mind, Posh's fug is not entirely self-expression.

Then there's little Bai, coming up with Galaxy-class Fug all by her crazy self and a pair of round-ended scissors. My turban's off to her.

PS. My dream final for next year is Chloe vs. Sharon. Talk about a Death Match.

Sharon WAS robbed. Sharon darling, you will always be Fug #1 to me.

In celebration of her teenage blog and after reading about her crazy-ass conformist upbringing in China, I voted for Bai... Since she beat my Sefugny, I figured she should go all the way. For once in my life, I had a change of heart and voted for the favorite (yet she is simultaneously the underdog in terms of talent). Bai is in a league of her own (perhaps drawing inspiration from Japanese "fruits?"), which made me kind of resentful...but like many of you, I have learned to love and embrace the many shades of Bai. She'll probably interpret the Fug title as a compliment but there ain't nothing wrong with bestowing a little happiness on some poor "actress playing lesbian in another studio film."

I usually am pretty into what Posh wears... I mean it's ridiculous, but can you really fault a spice girl for dressing a little crazy? it's like fugging a gap employee for wearing khaki. unfair. Bai Ling... well, I doubt most people have any idea why she's actually famous (myself included)... so whatever the root of her fame may be, it in no way explains or excuses the pain she inflicts on our eyeballs regularly. Bai for the win, Posh, I love you.

This was so awesome.

I think it should have been Chloe. Bai feels too obvious, but she beats out the slightly less crazy (and more classy, despite the implants) Posh.

Great job on the brackets, fug ladies. Thanks. You made March Madness fun for once.

Whether 'tis more fug in nature to put one's plastic melon-ball boobs continually and forcefully on display, or to allow one's natural bosoms to roam free in--and sometimes out of--one's clothing: I believe ultimately this is the question. And I have to say that in the battle of fug tacky plastic surgery prominently and persistently showcased trumps apparently natural nips however mischevious they might be; Posh for the win.

I'm with K.Fo. and Jess; the voters are going with sheer superficial fug instead of considering the depth and meaning of the fug that is Posh. Huh, who woulda guessed that the average voter is incapable of rational, thoughtful consideration before they make their choice? Hasn't eight years of Dubya taught me anything??

Had to vote for Bai, but was largely disappointed some more serious fugs were no longer in the running. Ah well, at least NKOTB is back together now and my life once again has purpose.

Wow, I had to really wrestle with this one. Finally, I had to figure that, all other things being equally fugly, what it comes down to is the fact that even though Posh is often fug, it's HIGH CLASS fug. Whereas Bai just always looks like a hooker. Posh often looks like a dominatrix, but that don't mean she's a hooker, nooooo sireee.

I must admit that I think Victoria Beckham is kind of fabulous. Posh looks like she has fun with the whole thing. Bai Ling looks like she has crazy with the whole thing (and a slightly better budget with which to Peldon).

I cannot fathom how Chloe Sevigny didn't make it to the end. Maybe the next big Go Fug Yourself could be an all-star game like Survivor.

I have never seen Vix have a nipple slip, so I have to go with Bai. Her fug is so great that it is literally trying to escape from her body. Also, I'm surprised that the Little Bo Peep picture with ScarJo hasn't been posted. Since when has Posh ever been a shepherdess?

Sigh. Chloë Sevigny is truly deserving of the win.

COME ON, people, of these two it is POSH all the way -- she thinks she's actually posh, for criminy's sake! She thinks she looks good! Bai does this on purpose, for attention. And I think she's genuinely, certifiably crazy, which makes it a little... I don't know, less satisfying, I guess. I was going to say mean, but I bet she would love it if she won, so I don't suppose it's mean at all. It's the attention she apparently craves. Sigh.

Few have the talent to be so fabulous and fug at the same time. Posh deserves the crown!

At first my heart was edging towards Bai. She's fought tough battles to get here and I'm a new fan of her blog and well, she just seems to exude more of the joi de fug than Ms. Posh.

But, this is a serious fug business so I took my time and perused the galleries one more time. It is clear to me that Posh takes this fug/fashion business too seriously and after a while I began to see a malevolent design behind her fug choices...too scary!

I may change my mind after my (liquid) lunch, but so far Little Ho Peep has my vote.

See, I'm seeing two champions representing two flavors of fug here: First, there's Bai Ling, representing Nutter Fug, where the person in question really is That Crazy (See also Bai's apprentice and likely heiress to her throne, Courtney Peldon, as well as Olsens 1 and 2.) Then there's Posh Spice, representing Attitude Fug, aka You Peons Just Aren't Cutting-Edge and Cool Enough To See How Magnificent This Outfit Really Is (Chloe Sevigny being another exemplar of this flavor of fug). Can't be bothered with Posh, so I voted for Bai Ling, but it was a tough call -- like trying to choose between ice cream and cheesecake.

I was going to leave a comment as to why I believe Bai should win, when I read this gem from "LIZ"
"BAI: After ripping a Frederick's of Hollywood corset and duct-taping it on so it is a skirt with the highest slit ever recorded in the history of Bai Ling, she pairs it with ripped fishnet stockings she stole from Britney. However, at this point, Personality #17 begins talking back about Bai's lack of singing success and how she was supposed to be the Chinese version of Britney, and Bai descends into a screaming fit of madness. Hours later, she emerges wearing nothing but the corset-skirt and a white t shirt with sparkling tassels attached over it, and fragments of glass in her hair."

I could not have said it better myself...so I won't.
took the words right out of my head, Liz.

"Bais of Our Lives" literally made coffee shoot directly from my nose onto my monitor, as did the Netflix belly shirt. BL is a fashion trainwreck, but I am not yet strong enough to avert my eyes. I must drink in the lunacy. Vive le fug!

For all those who are wanting Sev in the final. While I can't say I disagree with you - so goes the nature of the March/Fug Madness bracket. Sometimes a favorite goes out early. There are no write-ins in bracketology however, so maybe Chloe can come back fuggier than ever for next year and take the whole thing.

i have to go with bai--i actually have some respect for victoria (posh was always my favorite spice), and i think that bai is probably actually a bit nuts.

Gotta go with Bai Ling, for all the times we got to see all the way up to her hoo-hah. And Posh just seems sort of "Beyond the Valley of the Fug".

I can't condemn Bai. While her wardrobe is a horror, it seems a true extension of her personality. She should be an action figure-Captain Fugliness. Posh just makes me shake my head.

I can say that I've seen Posh dressed in things I actually might wear, every now and again. I can't say the same for Bai. Bai ftw!

this one totally has to go to Bai. Posh just looks like a flamboyant and slightly crazy celeb on the red carpet. Bai always looks like an actual crazy person who happened to wander onto the red carpet.

I think Sharon vs Bai would have been a better match of insane fug.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Bai Ling will mark a great leap forward for diversity when she wins this match. No longer will Asian women have to be impeccably dressed and stoic (I'm looking at you, Lucy Liu). You can be just as bat-shit crazy as your Latin, Caucasian and African American counterparts. The dream is indeed not deferred.

It should have been Chloe vs. Bai. Or maybe Courtney. Since it's not, it's Bai for the win. I'd have voted for Chloe. Bad clothes and bad judgment.

As for Posh, she occasionally wears something interesting and not fug, and has the best accessory on the planet.I have to give points for Becks, and that some of her fug is when he picks out some of what she wears on occasion. I can appreciate dressing to please your man for special events like birthdays and anniversaries.

I love Posh -- I really really do. I heart her a lot. However, I had to vote for Bai because as much as I love Posh, she can actually manage to look decent (if not a twinge starved) at times, whereas I have YET to see Bai look anything other than Batsh*t (yes, with a capital 'b') crazy. Sorry Posh, love, that's what you get for pulling it together every now and then.

God, I had to vote for Bai Ling. Not to say she hasn't earned her top spot, but I did so want to vote Posh all the way. Posh deserves it, in a way more than Bai, simply because Posh has unfettered access to closet after closet of glorious designer duds, yet still manages to look like she was dressed by besotted songbirds from Hell. Plus, her Marc Jacobs photoshoots are simply not to be believed for their MAY-JAH burning assaults upon the eyeballs and boggling of the brains. Maybe I should have voted for her after all - but Bai Ling just works it on such a consistent level with her immense stash of fuggery from the discount bins that she seems to deserve a Great Tiara of Fug to perch upon her little head...this was sooo hard. I LOVED this entire tournament to no end. Thank you, fug ladies, you've added a very special component to my memory bank of fun! Sa-LUTE!

Bai has given us so much joy on GFY - how can I deny her this publicity?

Fug the one you love. Bai Ling, Tiananmen Democracy Movement hero, she will free the oppressed masses! Or at least her nipples.

Ohhhhh I so wanted these two to be the final two, but now that the time has come I can't decide who to vote for D: I'm half convinced Bai is actually an alien, she's so deliciously loopy, but Posh is so unapologetically crazy and attitudey. ): IT'S SUCH A TOUGH DECISION. I think I may have to flip a coin.

I am 100% behind the write in candidate--Chloë Sevigny! How the hell did she get knocked out in the first place?

I voted for Posh because i think that she actually thinks she looks good. while on the other hand i just think bai is just crazy.

I too think that C.Sev should be in this final matchup. I have seen Posh look decent once in a while, but Sevigny always looks completely hideous. ALWAYS. That takes a serious talent for fug. So I write her in too (even though I voted for Bai up there).

What a tough one. I did decide that Bai Ling's right nipple was the tiebreaker. Although I HEART that picture of Posh with the orange basketball boobs.

Thank you so much for doing this. I've loved the whole tournament!

Bai Ling for the win!
All is right with the Universe!

I was hoping for a Bai Ling/Courtney Peldon death match. As it is I must vote for Bai. Posh has questionable taste in couture, yes. But Bai includes in her closet velvet drawstring leg warmers and a mini skirt with buttons. (which she strategically left open). I don't think there is a question here.

Posh should win if only because she's idiotic enough to think she's stylish. Bai Ling is just mental.

I feel that the outcome of this contest will be responsible for increased visibility of one Bai Ling...which is great for fug but rotton for the soul...

Voted for Bai. Posh's fug is fun and fabulous, Bai's fug is crazy fug.

this was actually really tough for me but i said it once and i'll say it again, go bai go!

and for the record - I Love Fug Madness! thanks for making this so fun! (apparently i turned into a cheerleader)

I've said it before and I'll say it again... Bai has a scorching case of Couture Tourette Syndrome... she is clearly the winner!!

i had to go with posh on this one, because posh actually looks like she thinks she looks amazing, while bai ling only does it to get noticed

bai is just an attention craving peasant of fugville
posh is definitely the queen..

in fug academy,bai is fug 101
posh is advanced fug!

And if you all have not checked out Ms. Ling's blog - you simply must do so. One of the entries begins, "Morning cat come to seduce you . . .". You just can't make that shiz up.

I can't believe this is going Bai Ling's way. When are you all going to wake up and realize she's a drag queen?

This should've been Sharon's game.

How is this even a contest? Bai Ling, hands down. Oh, how I long for what could have been: a Chloe Sevigny vs. Courtney Peldon final two. Peldon coulda been a contender!

Yeah! Bai is winning.

I just read an article in French vogue, detailing the petit magasin where you can get Chloe Sevigny's new line in Paris, where, ahem, wait for it, the fashionistas of France are lining up outside. I live in France and can.not.begin.to.comprehend... how that is even remotely possible. I'm so confused I can barely type. She was robbed along with French medaille d'honneur winner ShaSha Stone. I gotta give it up for media queen Posh though, Bai does trash, Vicki does fug.

In lieu of my personal favorite, Ms. Sevigny, I had to cast my vote for Bai Ling. Mostly because I pretty much think it's time for Posh to slide away from the public eye into oblivion, whereas I hope Bai Ling sticks around forever.

I wholeheartedly agree with K.FO that Chloe Sevigny should have been the winner. To me her fug will forever remain supreme.

I could handle it if Posh wins over Bai Ling, but, disappointingly, from the looks of things now that doesn't seem like it's going to be the case. Bai is a silly kind of fug, quite ridiculous, ha ha. Posh just looks terrible, with the fake boobs and all. People, c'mon. At least make it Posh!

Chloe! Chloe! Chloe!
Can she at least get an honorable mention? A gold plaque? A ribbon? A $10 gift certificate to Chili's? ANYTHING?!

Had to go with Posh - Bai Ling seems to be fugging it up on purpose while Posh does it without thinking it seems. And that deserves the highest honor.

It's nice to see so many commenters who are on the same page vote-wise as me! The Sev certainly should have been one of the final two. I had her for the WIN! :-(

I voted for Bai, but it was under protest.

There really, truly, honestly is no contest to be had here. Bai is fugliness defined. She is the very essence of fug. She is fug incarnate. God bless her, Bai is FUG. Game. Set. Match.

Long live Bai Ling, Queen of Fug.

What fun fug madness has been. I cannot wait until next year. Well done, ladies, well done indeed.

I feel like Bai Ling's fug is tongue-in-cheek (I mean, she knows she looks crazy, right? Right?), whereas Posh's sculpted plasticity is created with the single-minded conviction that yes, spacesuit couture IS awesome.

I went with Posh.

Thank you Nichole for saying what I've been thinking!

You can't "write-in" in a tournament! It's not based on elections, it's based on sports. If a team loses and is eliminated, regardless of whether they're usually a better team, THEY ARE OUT. You can't write them back in. They had their shot.

I don't know why this is bothering me so much. Maybe it's because it seems to say that you don't understand how this works, and I expected more out of this site's readers.

Can I write Sharon back in? this is a weak pairing. Neither of these poor girls knows any better. Posh is actually kind of FAB in her fug, and Bai... is just... um... well, it's pathetic. Sharon, WHY?!?

Bai Ling, no contest. I voted for Victoria's competitor in every single match. Vicky is a bit wacky, but she's too consistent its just the same type of fug over and over...Bai must lay awake at night for hours thinking up each new and strage outfit she can put together

I am so crushed that the Sev didn't win this whole thing...I mean, she is the pure embodiment of fug, the fugliest fugger of them all.

Oh well, anywho, I voted for Bai. Occasionally Posh will rock an outfit so hard that I'll actually be incentivized to hit the gym so, there you go.

Posh all the way. Some points:

Empirically speaking, Posh has fugged so many more people than Bai Ling, who is considerably less famous as some other commenters have noted.

Aesthetically, I'd like to direct our attention to the "fugly is the new pretty" slogan for the site. Posh, when wearing something sensible, is much more attractive than her competitor and so her fug is that much greater.

Posh wins. She has to win, or none of us know anything about fug.

Can't believe it's over already...
But, come on, this battle is freakin' weak. Posh is no competition for Bai. I wish THE Stone was still in, it would have made this a far more interesting match. Oh, well...

No way! Posh so deserves this! Bai Ling clearly does it for attention, she barely has a job. Posh is HUGE and still wears all this crazy stuff, and poses in it as if she genuinely believes the rest of the world should think it is completely normal and gorgeous.

This is no contest!!! I actually like a lot of the things that Posh wears, despite her usual fierce and dour expressions. Bai Ling, on the other hand, seems so happy and revels in her fug.

I had to vote for my girl. My dog of war. My inner style icon--because on the inside, I wear plastic zebra striped dresses with dayglo pink brassieres.

I love you, Posh! Stay gold, Posh! Stay gold!

Posh should win this, since not only is her clothing a non-stop fug cabaret, she's surgically altered her body to add to the mix, and, to top it all off, she's PLAYING Posh, a being who doesn't actually exist, but is all smoke and mirrors, without that much fun in sight.

Bai is just... being Bai, so she's actually Björked herself way PAST fug, and into another order of magnitude, possibly into another dimension.

Ker and Nicole are right....STILL this is not a sport competition, they were elected by vote and my friends Cloe is Superfug bc not only does she dress fugly she has made people think she is some sort of fashionista avant garde persona..

Damn well said, Kerminator!

Bai has this sewn up! Simply because she's embraced the fug & revels in it!
Posh might actually believe that she looks great, which I find almost sad...
BAI for QUEEN OF ALL FUGKIND!!!
Besides, I'd totes dress like Bai if I went off all my meds...

Heather and Jessica, you have brought so much chuckly joy to my evil little heart the last couple of weeks. Thanks for all your hard work. And I hope you set aside a minor runner-up tiara for La Sev, who is the People's Fug, clearly.

Bai wins, but at her acceptance speech we fully expect her to say that this award truly belongs to the spacemen living in her noggin who tell her what to wear and have convinced the wretched soul that she's cute, poor thing.

I have lots of reasons for voting for Bai Ling (still don't know which is her surname, which is {one of} her first name{s}). One is that there is a photo of her that is so fugtastic that Photobucket pulled it. Yes, I'm sure sensitive body bits had something to do with that decision, but that's still just part of the fug wreck that is Bai Ling!

I am 100% behind the write in candidate--Chloë Sevigny! She is the one true Fug Queen. Is lives fug. I'm crying into my drink.

Really, how you decide this vote kind of comes down to your fugology. If you tune into Go Fug Yourself because you like to see the most outlandish outfits, then its Bai Ling’s cake walk. But if you primarily are happy to hear someone call b.s. on the “edginess” or “fashion forwardness” of celebrities, then I think you have to go with Posh (although Sev would have been far better).
I find the people who are already famous and dress fug in the name of fashion or nonconformity far more fug-worthy than those who dress fug only out of sheer desperation. I think old Posh, in her days of bad extensions, fell into the latter category but she has graduated into the former. She is the ultimate fug success story.
In summary, while I wish Bai Ling a long and fugly life, as goes Posh, so goes my nation.

If it can't be Chloe, it must be Bai. Bai will put it on her resume.

"so she's actually Björked herself"

heeehhee! Awesome, MJX!

Bai Ling is a mastermind of fug! Long live the hot Chinese uber-freak!

For the record, her saucy 7th personality is my personal fave.

HOW IS THE FINAL 2 NOT CHLOE VS BAI??? This is also my write-in vote as I can not vote for anyone but Chloe. My heart is broken.:( Vote Bai the Poshness does not deserve this she is AWESOME!!

Honestly, how could one Posh (who, while gaudy, does occasionally do things right) compete against the 27 personalities of Bai Ling? And that blog of hers!? It's no contest. Bai all the way.

P.S. I was hoping so much that I could say the same for Peldon at this point. :(

I guess it all depends on your definition of "fug", doesn't it?

Bai, as has been stated, = insane. Posh has this incredible multifaceted life and access to stylists and designers who should get in her face, and yet she still looks like she has no class whatsoever. Plus she's so physically gnarly in ways I think she could do something about, even without surgery. She always looks unclean to me. Ew. AND SHE NEVER FREAKING SMILES. Life of unlimited possibility, crappy facial expression. Posh gets an 'F'.

I voted Posh, BUT I really stopped being serious after I didn't see Princess Pee Pee Pants, Gwen Fuglani, and Chloe Se-Vomit-ny in the finals...what up fuggers?
Anyhoo, this was a blast and I can't wait for next year!
Kisses girls, and BTW, in your book, my favourite phrase used to discribe any fugliness you have EVER written about is......wait for it......"nips akimbo" for that twat Tara Reid. I seriously laugh about this every day, even when I say it silently! LOVE YOU GIRLS-Besos!

I'm voting for Posh, because whereas both women dress ridiculously, Bai Ling often does so to her advantage. And the only thing to Posh's advantage is that she's sometimes photograph using an Adonis as an accessory.

I voted for Posh, I want her innagural Fug Championship win to create such terror in her eyes that she leaves Becks for me. Well a mo can dream can't he?

You know who would make a good entry for next year? Coco, Ice-T's wife.

Go Bai! But I do agree with the Posh people, that Posh does exist in an entirely different stratosphere than Bai. But Posh is hot(t) while Bai is not, so I had to go with the greater fug.

I'm going bai-lingual all the way. Bai Ling is an acid trip, Posh's expression is simply acid. Stick a fork in Miss Fake Bake 2008 -- Posh Spice is done. Long Live Bai Ling -- Fug Queen of the Galaxy.

barring a miracle of the Christmas variety we all know it's going to be bai ling...

I now actually *like* Bai Ling - lol.
I voted Posh for the same reasons I voted C. Sev - to pffft at an overly-serious self-regarding fashion ickon (yes) trying to peddle her brand of bad taste to the masses.
Ye did kinda stack the deck, didn't you, Fug girls, with the photos here. And - those Posh ads for Marc Jacobs are the most hideous things I've seen - much worse that anything funny Bai Ling ever did. They are a joke and I, I, I pity the fool! who spends one cent on Jacobs junk because of them.

Here's an idea, inspired by all the Chloe & Sharon boosters - maybe next time the brackets can represent different varieties of Fug. One would be the attention whores: Bai Ling, the Peldons, P-squared... Another would be the "fashionistas" of fug - those who are touted as sartorially brilliant - with CSev at the number 1 seed, and Posh in there, too. Then a Diva bracket (Beyonce, JLo, et al), and the "You'd look so pretty if you..." (brushed your hair/washed your face/put on some pants/wore a bra that fits) for LiLo, ScarJo, KBell, and the rest. Then the Final Four would be a true showdown over which TYPE of fug is most fug...

And I've clearly thought about this too much....

I voted for Bai, but Chloe should have walked off with this entire thing. Was it a conspiracy? Hanging chads? We'll never know...

Sevigny in '09!

Thanks for the Fug Madness, Fug Girls -- what fugging fun it was!

I have to jump on the "where is le Sev?" bandwagon. Damn it. This would have been such a sweet day if she had been served up as the "winner." I'm so bitter, I'll just write that bitch in. (This has been fun, tho. I haven't been so exercised in a while.)

I too, was hoping for a Courtney vs. Chloe smackdown! That one would have been really difficult for me to figure out.
On this, I went for Bai. I think she "dresses" herself whereas Posh is styled.
But it was tough!
I hope you do this again next year if it wasn't too big a pain! It was a blast.

OMG, you are so RIGHT Deirdre! Coco would blow this competition wide open and give Bai a run for the title!

Coco is probably the most whore-y persona out there. Every time I see her on telly I gag and have to have a lie down at the same time.

Meh. After both my final fours got the boot, I'm pretty disheartened. But here you go Posh, if only because you amuse me less and seem a bit more fake (tan, boobs - total fugcessories). I do however whole heartedly endorse Bai-Ling as Summer Olymipcs mascot.

Should have been Chloe vs Sharon. Oh well I'll vote Bai because Posh can look totally fierce sometimes

Good call Edith - I LOVE that idea of brackets for the different kinds of fug.

Oh yeah! I called it... I filled in Bai Ling's name (in ink!) as Winner of the final Cage Death Match the day the brackets came out! I'm just so proud of her-- Posh is no pushover. But she's calculating Attention-Spice, all the time, which is just NOT the True Essence of Fugness. Our wackadoo Bai, however, effortlessly expresses the Inner Fug of whichever personality is going out that evening. I do the Chicken Dance of Joy!!

Somewhere though, Chloe is practicing unnatural, pouty, pretentious poses for next year....

I'm still depressed that the Sev didn't make it to the final round - I was certain she would take it all home, but given who's left in, I gotta go with Posh. Bai's got a lot of deep-seated crazy in her, but Posh is some sort of international fug queen. May she get the crown.

Bai beat the Sev, so it stands to reason that she is the fugliest of them all...

It's moot, but for those who keep asking, 'Who is Bai Ling?':
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000499/

Sev for Miss Congenitality! The Catsuit McCigarette photo deserves the cameltoe prize!

Thanks for Fug Madness, gfy, and thanks, fellow voters, for the hilarious comments! It's been superfun!

"And I hope you set aside a minor runner-up tiara for La Sev, who is the People's Fug, clearly."

Aha, but if she was clearly the People's Fug, wouldn't she have won all her games? Hee.

So sad that Bai is probably going to win. I voted Posh because Bai seems clueless- while Posh wears such horrible clothes while parading herself as some sort of style icon! Deliberate is more fug than clueless imho.

So..i voted posh spice. Simply because to her...she actually believes she's a style icon, when, bai ling knows she's nuts. So...to bai ling...i do tip my hat for being trashy and knowing it...to posh, i do not for thinking one thing and actually being another.

shame on mj for putting her in his new ad campaign. i almost feel like it would have been sweeter if he put bai in them.

I know, in my heart of hearts, that Posh dresses like crap. I know that her black and white and hot pink animal print slip dress and choppy bleached hair are the epitome of Eurotrash gone wild. I KNOW that flowy, shredded mess of fabric that's been taped on just the right spots with calculated care is horrific.

Yet... I sort of... love her.

*dies*

Its like Barbie; you KNOW her clothes are a laugh, but you still sort of find her fabulous, and you continue to whip them out every time your bffs come over to talk about how gross but secretly kind of cute that new boy in the other 4th grade class is. This is Posh, and that boy is Becks. Its LUV.

Team Bai Ling on this one!

"Coco is probably the most whore-y persona out there. Every time I see her on telly I gag and have to have a lie down at the same time."

I refuse to acknowledge she even IS a persona. Phoebe Price is bad enough.

so many people have said it: posh deserves to win because she thinks she's a style icon. BAI ONLY DRESSES THAT WAY BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY WAY SHE'LL REMAIN IN THE NEWS. she totally does it on purpose because she has no reason to be famous, and she knows it. what does she DO, anyway? since the answer is "nothing", she dresses bad to stay what she thinks is relevant.

it had to be posh! (altho it seems that the weirdness of bai may take her to the front of the class) becks is not only a severe dresser but a severe skin-stretcher as well. super creepy tops supa-ho everytime!
cricket o.

Posh. Bai Ling seems to be aware of her fugness & almost embraces it. Posh, OTOH, seems to labor under the delusion that she dresses very well, always appropriately & very stylish.

Vote Posh!

My vote goes to Pug Spice. Woof!

Oh, if only it was Posh vs. Chloe! Chloe, you are the true queen of fug.

But, since Cloe isn't in in the finals, I'll have to give Posh my vote. Bai wears costumes, Post wears (what she thinks is, anyway) fashion. Horribly misguided fashion, true, but (what she thinks is, anyway) fasion, nonetheless. I give points for truly believing in what you wear.

So.. I secretly like Posh and admittedly if I had her ta-tas and abs I too might go grocery shopping in hotpants.

Although, conversely at the place where I get my nails done there are like 4 little hottie mc hottie vietnamese girls who ALL dress like Bai, I mean like even on a Sunday morning!

So who's to say what's culturally acceptable?

So...I guess I'm just going to go Bai (which sounds way more exciting than it really is) because of that whole 43 personalities thing. Plus if Winona got busted for sticky fingers, Bai should have too darnit.

Deirdre, others, I agree that Coco would have bitch-slapped the rest of the field into submission, but we have to play the hand we've been dealt.

I can't believe Posh is losing by THAT MUCH. Apparently Orange is the new black, hmmm?

I know it's a stiff competition and all, but come on, guys. Bai wears stuff all the time that doesn't even look as if it were meant to be clothing in the first place. It's the sheer definition of fug.

"I refuse to vote here. Chloë Sevigny is the true and deserving winner. This comment shall serve as my write-in. Who's with me?"

I am! (Well no, I admit it I voted, but I am very sad that la Sev didn't make it to the pinnacle of Fug where she belongs. Sev 2009!)

So much wisdom here in the comments to read, mark, learn and inwardly digest. I must disagree with those who say that Push Spice ever looks good, or even human. She is a walking Bratz doll only more orangely chav, so chav, so chavitty-chav chav and that is really just lame and boring, in the end.

Bai on the other hand is crazy that only dogs can hear. Sye sye Bai Ling for the neverending ride on your magic carpet of Fug.

Bai is unique. Chloe is a disaster. Posh married hot but her fashion boobs make her permanently fugly.
Thanks for all the fun this has been!

I had to go with Posh. Because I think she believes she's NOT fug, just too stylish for us lowly folks. We just don't "get it." Whereas I think Bai Ling (or one of her many personalities) just does it because it's fun.

This vote hurt, though, because I love both of those women so very very much for their beautifully-thought-out fugness!

I knew from the get go that Bai would win the tournament. And here she is, winning the tournament. She is the epitome of FUG. At least Posh has good hair now. Bai is the supreme ruler of all that is FUG and she revels in it.

The minute I heard there was going to be a Fug Madness, I thought, "Bai Ling will win." She's like a traffic accident--it's a little gruesome and a lot appalling, but you just can't look away...

I haven't paid attention in awhile but could someone please tell me how Juliette Lewis isn't up against Bai Ling?

my money has been on Bai since the beginning. If only I had ACTUALLY put money on it.

Woohoo! Go team Bai!

Posh Posh Posh! the boobs! the hair! the husband! does anyone really doubt that the BBC show 'Footballers Wives' was inspired by Posh and Dave? Does anyone really doubt who would emerge from a dark alley? Posh would wipe up the floor with La Ling. I would have really liked to see Stone and Posh slug it would, now that would be a match. Bai is just crazy but Posh looks like she has a plan. A bad bad plan, but still there's a gleam in her eye.

The thing is, it seems like a reasonable assumption that Bai Ling at least has a sense of humor. Which doesn't change the fact that she walks outside DRESSED in it. But Ms. Beckham means that shit. She MEANS it, and that earns her the vote.

Dear Jessica and Heather:

Fug Madness has taught us many, many things. I sit here today at the final round thinking where did the time go? How could you wear a paw in public and not win this thing?. How did LaLopez not end up in the final rounds? And finally, how could I decide between these two major fugs. Yes, Bai is Bai, but also Posh is Posh..and I think of the two, Posh is the only one who is starving (literaly) for fashion, while Bai is just starving for attention. I let peer pressure get the best of me. I do hope one good thing could come out of this.. is it possible for comments to come back on? I mean have we not been excellent commenters? Have we not been as funny, witty, clean yet sharp as you requested? Something to think about.

(Shouted as if at a sporting event)
PEL-DON! PEL-DON! PEL-DON! PEL-DON! PEL-DON!

I had to read the comments to see who would sway me more. I called my mom and she was no help ("Bai. Is it even a question?") But Bai still has an element of fun-crazy, whereas Posh, dammit, thinks she's HOT and a trail-blazing icon and really... no. She should KNOW BETTER.

I think, based on arrogance, bad fake-bake, horrible hair, and those BASKETBALL BOOBS, Posh takes it.

There's a timelessness to Posh's fug. She's the role model and reigning queen bee of all the Ibiza-bound English WAGs and she holds court with a ferosh feirceness that is, ultimately, unfuckwithable.

Bai Ling over Posh, mostly because every once in a while, I drool over some get-up Mrs. Beckham is wearing. I would be scared to wear anything Bai-Baby is almost wearing.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

People, c'mon! Bai Ling is no where near as deliciously tacky as Posh.

I can't belive Bai Ling is pounding on Posh. Boo.
Cloëëë *should* win this. She is really, truly offensive, while Ling and Posh are kinda funny.

Also I really want to tell the Fug Girls how much I appreciate this site. Endless hours have been spent browsing and giggling, and in fear of going blind, just like during the Euro Vision Song contest. But much more fun, and without offensiveness to the ear too. I mean, look: http://svt.se/content/1/c8/01/07/21/83/daniel2.jpg
I hope you carry on with the comments, we're proven to play nice now!
To say thanks, here is a montage of some of the monstrosities from Melodifestivalen:
http://svt.se/svt/road/Classic/article/615/jsp/Render.jsp?a=1065233&d=79526&index=0&popup=true

bai ling is also my favourite celebrity

Posh IS Fug. And that's all right with me!

I voted in every other match, but this one, I just can't decide. I hope the deserving runner-up will recieve a lovely parting gift, like a basket of sandwiches and yards of fabric to cover their bodies. (And maybe a coupon for a foot massage from Intern George)

Bai wins because her multiple personalities will do away with Mrs. Beck's if the Poshinator wins

I am laughing at how much I actually thought this out. But I went with Posh, cause I think Bai tries to be Fug when Posh just IS fug!

I really wanted to see it come down to Phoebe Price and Courtney Peldon! Those 2 are the REAL queens of fug if you ask me.

Between Bai Ling and Posh Spice - Bai Ling is more fug but Posh is so much more fabulous. She should carry the title just because it's Posh. Bai Ling is just a lost, little skank with God-awful taste, that's not enough to be the fuggest of them all!

You know, I assumed it would come down to Chloe vs. Bai Ling, or perhaps Peldon vs one of those two. I guess upsets are what make this sport so exciting.

Gotta go with Bai Ling. She just does her fug so cheaply. At least you know with Posh that she's spent a good deal of time and money on her fug. Bai just threw on whatever trash she had lying on the floor.

BAI BAI BAI all the way!!!

I hope someone's busy fashioning her a tiara and sash out of household items. If you guys don't, I will...No More Nails and gold spray paint works a myriad wonders...

I vote with Edith on category brackets for next year. I'm now dying to know which kind of Fug is the worst kind of Fug.

Meanwhile, I finally picked Bai. Sure she's crazy, not calculating like Posh and Sefugny. But I have never, ever, seen anything she's wearing and thought "hmm, that's kind of cute...wish I owned that" and I have (god help me) thought this about Posh. More than once.

On the other hand, I'd rather become a complete recluse and never leave the house than go out in public looking like Sefugny. I know she folded in the clinch, but to me she'll forever be the Queen of Fug in my heart, if not in the brackets.

P.S. I love the way you guys can't wait until the end of the week. Neither can I!!! This'll keep me going until I can watch Skins later (AKA the highlight of my Monday)

Has anyone else noticed that there are NO pictures of Posh where she isn't standing with one leg in ahead of the other? This is the standard stage school pose supposed to make your legs look longer..

So stiff, so waxen, and sadly so misguided despite untold thousands in upkeep.

She really needs the Fug award - and to borrow a personality or two off Bai.

We need to have a deep existential conversation about "What is Fug?" after this is all over. My brain has whiplash from the ricocheting back and forth amongst the many possible answers to that question over the past couple of weeks. Is Fug deliberate? Or accidental? Does Fug occur when the fashion choices mar the pretty of the wearer? Or is Fug present when the fashion accentuates existing flaws?

And the meta questions: If C.Peld reads the site, is she *encouraged* or *embarrassed* by being labeled Fug? Does Bai think "Fug" stands for "Flying Underwear Groupies"?

Dude, I'm totally in: Chloe is the fugliest of them all. How could she lose?

There is no contest here. Even when Posh is wearing something that makes me go "WTF?", she still looks like the Queen. The Queen of the Trailer Park, maybe, but Queen nevertheless. Bai Ling, on the other hand, just leaves people scratching their heads and wondering whether they missed the point, or there wasn't one in the first place.

At least Posh has been looking cute lately. Or if not cute, than.....less Posh Spice Barbie, maybe?

But really, what a disappointing final two. How did Chloe get knocked out? Did she show up somewhere dressed like a sane person, with clean hair, and start handing out puppies to orphans or something?

I kind of lost interest when Bai beat Chloe.

The problem for me is that Bai Ling is going around with her "hey, look at me--aren't I wacky?!" ensembles kind of knowing, I think, that they aren't great fashion.

Chloe and Posh think they look GREAT, however, and are constantly being lauded as fashion icons. That is, I think, the essence of fug. You aren't trying to look like crap, yet the result is so seriously craptastic.

I'm writing in Chloe!

I had to go with Posh on this one. Bai seems like she doesn't give a fig whether she looks fug or not, whereas Victoria actually tries to be fashionable. And fails. Posh FTW!

I'm with K.Fo. Another write-in for Chloe. :)

I am also sitting out this one because Chloe is gone.
Bai Ling is just insanity and Posh is crazily fantastic... but neither beat Chloe's intent to fug pretentiousness.

This should have been a Peldon v. C-Sev final.
That not being the case, I voted for B-Ling solely based on pure insanity points she has stacked up against Mrs. Vicotria "Major" Beckham.

Hey, I've got a good idea. Let's post a link to Fug Maddness on Bai Ling's blog in the comments section - cause you KNOW she checks them. Weee!

Bai, WE SALUTE YOU!

I'm with you K.Fo Chloe was robbed. I can't vote for this reason and also because I can't decide between these two, both are equally fug.

I'm joining the likes of K.Fo and others before me - CHLOE SEVIGNY WRITE-IN VOTE!

I too felt that Sharon and Chloe were robbed. Posh and Bai Ling are similar to Paris. All 3 have a bright-color, plastic, Barbie, spandex kind of fug. There's Euro-Trash Barbie, Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs Barbie, and Vapid Heiress Barbie - nothing special about any of them. Sharon and Chloe both have their own special fug!

i disagree...i don't think bai knows shit. she obviously costumed herself for her guest spot on 'lost', even. she thinks what she does and wears is right, which to me is the essence of fug...she is utterly unaware of what actual fashion might be, unlike posh, who gets to be in marc jacob ads and on the cover of vogue. bai will never be on the cover of vogue. EVAR.

I voted for Bai...whether she is doing it just for the attention or not...she's still doing it. Besides, people get attention for dressing like goddesses too...Charlize Theron, anyone? Not to mention I gotta agree with Mrs. O here...when Posh is out with that tall drink of deliciousness of hers, can you blame her for wearing something totally off the wall in order to get at least SOME of the attention? I mean, when he is around, do you even see Posh?

Then again, reading some of these posts....oh!!! Is it possible to have voter's remorse?

Fug Girls...you need a new shirt..."SAVE CHLOE!" or maybe "DON'T BLAME ME, I VOTED FOR CHLOE". :)

Before I explain my vote, I just want to thank you Fug Goddesses for giving us the chance to chat about this. No one else would understand (sniff, sniff).

Anyway I voted for Bai without hesitation. Yes the "spicefrau" (LOL) is fug supreme, but never looks like she's happy or having fun -- even in photos with her husband who, no offense meant to my darling life partner, would inspire a smile or two in me.

Bai is freakin nuts, with that eerie but pixie-ish smile, and has absolutely no self-editing skills. Her ensembles are crazy but fabulously so. So, if it couldn't be Sharon, let it be Bai. (Insert bad "bai-gones" joke here.)

Thanks again and to all, a good night.

I voted for Bai, but I do think Chloe vs. Courtney (Peldon) would have been the ultimate match-up...

Oh, Chloe might have been eliminated this year, but the Sev will take it in 2009! We'll take campaign donations and start canvasing, cold calling, polling... We'll sweep the networks with snarky ads in which Bai Ling is dressed like a classy matron!

There can be only one, and that one is the Sev.

Posh made it to the end. I really thought it would be a Chloe/Bai Ling fight to the finish. I wish there was somewhere to write in your vote. Anyhoo I was reading the other posting and linked to Kickette where Posh reigns supreme. I have a question... what is a WAG? Wife of ....?

I voted for Posh, because she's serious about what she's wearing. Bai Ling's just trying to get attention.

Bai Bai,love.
Bai Bai, classiness.
Hello, skankiness
You mske me wanna cry-y!

Bai Bai,love.
Bai Bai, classiness.
Hello, skankiness
You make me wanna cry-y!

This is ridiculous. A miscarriage of Fug Justice, or Fugstice as I like to call it. We all know Chloe Seveigny should have been here, not Posh. And once more, she should have taken the whole thing.

Some highlights about Bai Ling from the IMDB:

"Bai Ling served three years in the People Liberation's Army in China entertaining troops in Tibet. She had a bout of depression which sent her to a mental hospital. She then became a Chinese movie star. All of this was occurred before she was 18."

and

"She turned in one of the most acclaimed performances for her first Hong Kong movie Saam gaang yi (2004) ( "Three Extremes: Dumplings"). Her character is a creepy 60 year old ageless beauty, and she helps women by performing illegal abortions, but she also uses the unwanted fetuses to be made into dumplings which is her secret for ageless beauty."

Bai definitely wins in my book. When she does what she does, my brain hurts; when Posh does it, I must give a slow golfclap in recognition of her fierceness.

Heavens to Fugatroyd! Where to start?

On the one hand, there’s Bai Ling, the woman who puts the “ai” in “aiiiiieeeeeee!!!” and the “Ling” in “ding-a-ling”.

Having said that, however, there’s Posh, all orangey and flammable-looking, who appears to have salvaged matching cannonballs from some long-forgotten shipwreck of the Spanish Armada and then welded them onto her frame.

Now, I don’t watch “What Not To Wear,” but I’m still pretty sure that pairing munitions with clothing that threatens to spontaneously combust is never a good idea.

Therefore, Miss Baiiiiieeeeeee Ling it is.

Safety first.

Write in: SHARON!!!

Just as I expected, my girl Bai has taken this whole thing. Posh never stood a chance. Bai truly is a force to be reckoned with.

For Jenn -- WAG stands for "Wives And Girlfriends" of footballers in the UK.

Well Played all the way around, Ladies. Congratulations! Now, cut down the net......

Let us not forget that fugly is the new pretty. I think more than anyone else ever featured on this site, it is Bai Ling who personifies this.

I voted for Posh because Bai Ling seems like she would want to win this.... And if that's your goal, then you're fug just isn't from the heart. Also, Posh's body makes me nauseous. She needs to eat and either take out the breast implants or stop taping her boobs so that they mimic saline with such unpleasant mastery. Seriously, though, I'm wicked upset with the final two. How in the heck could either of these weirdos beat out CHLOE SEVIGNY, who actually thinks she's a style icon in a positive way! Let's face it, Posh and Bai just want attention. It's like giving the glorious fug title to a drag queen or Bobby Trendy: camp and show are their rasion d'etre! This should have gone to someone who thinks she's "fashion forward" and all those other obnoxious compliments floating around the poignantly irrelevant world of fashion. Not some two bit skeleton who is only known for her bad clothes and the fabulous skeleton of camp who keeps the cameras on her (instead of her employed husband) by dressing in anything short enough to maybe give us a peek of her Glory Spice, then scowling at the paparazzi for trying to snap that precious money shot.

I can't believe Courtney Peldon isn't in the final two!!! She will always be the winner in my heart.

I cannot believe BAI is winning this! Posh is so... FUG-a-licious!!!! I agree that Bai would WANT to win.

People, people, people!

You can NOT keep voting for Bai Ling! While she is a definitive fugly dresser, that is the only reason she goes out in public!

My vote goes to Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham. Because she strives for high fashion, and more often than not comes out looking worse for it. She wants to be, as her name implies, "Posh," but most of the time looks trashy!

Argh! Ling can NOT win this! She's not even a real celebrity!

Well, Bai WAS on Lost - once. Does that count as a celebrity?

Gotta hand it to her for making the fug work for her. IMDB lists TWO horror films, THREE dramas, and a comedy, all in post-production, starring Ms. Ling.

See, now I'm confused. Is Fug the Girl You Secretly Wish You Were? If so, Posh all the way. If, however, Fug is the Girl You Thank God You Aren't But Would Secretly Enjoy Taking Out For a Night on the Town, then Bai's my girl.

Dirt.

So, is winning good or bad?

Anyway, I voted Bai.
Do you remember her blog?

ALL Bai ALL the time.

Babes, I truly cannot decide. Posh is the fericious Tiger of Fug, and Bai is one of those weird hybrid Ligers of Fug. Who can decide? They are so similar, yet so different

Whatever, nerdlings. Posh is the shit. I love both that blue and green dress/scarf thing AND that heinous animal print thing. On her. She can don whatever the hell she wants.

It SO should have been Sharon against Bai (I mean, it should have OBVIOUSLY been a Sevigny/Ling matchup, but TOO LATE, I GUESS).

P.S. The blog IS incredible!

Chloe!!

Bai. Posh can't win it if we enjoy her outfits, dammit!

And I'm still scarred by Bai's blog. SWEET CUPPIN CAKES.

I drank the kool-aid and now I'm waiting for the rocket. Take us home Bai, take us home.

Posh can't have a nip slip-- her nips are sharpened to diamond points and cannot move. Thank god, because they'd put out your eye. And they are covered in the organge pleather she calls her skin. At least Bai Ling is a wholly organic being, even if she is a sweet fugvestite, from the Planet Fugsexual, in the galaxy of Fugsylvania.

I fully concur with the idea that next year the brackets should each cover a kind of fug: Insane Fug (Bjork) for the Bai Ling type, Tacky Fug (Charo) for Posh and Paris Hilton, Wannabe Couture Fug (Cher) for ChloSev, Faux Hip Fug (Madonna) for Sienna Miller types. Or something like that. I'm sure you could come up with better categories.

Also...

ChloSev = Fug Queen of the Universe forever!!!!

I'm turning my back on all my prior strategy. Before I gave a break to those who managed, somehow, to carry off their fug, and voted for those who were just down to the core fugly. But in the Bai-Posh faceoff, I have to root for crazy BL to win it all! Posh just always looks so mean, and Bai is clearly having FUN. And hey--FUN + UGLY = FUGLY!

So I'm voting for my little Chinese dumpling, and rooting for her to take it all the way. And then BLOG about it.

i am so confused - Posh is loosing to Bai - that can't be! Bai is just having fun. Posh on the other side is a professional, who seriously thinks she rocks - she is a mental fug besides being a fashion one! vote hollistic, vote Posh.

While Bai is clueless and must be tolerated like an annoying child at a relative's wedding, Posh should know better.

Posh should win this based on the bolted on orange boobs alone! Fug-oobs, if you will.

To our write-ins: Sorry about Chloe, Sharon, and Courtney, whose bodies of work should perhaps have put them in the final. "Many are called (to Fug) but few are chosen." There's always next year.

And Bai's outfits give me migraine auras, so I don't feel regret that I voted for her.

Wow. This is a real toughie. I mean, on the one hand you've got Bai, the split-personality, barely-clad Princess of Fug.And then there's Posh, who's just fuggy fabulousness.

But with Bai, you can tell that she WANTS you to think she's the fuggiest of them all. Posh is the one who's going, "Are you kidding me? This is the hautest of haute fashion. All of you are just jealous of my gargantuan bronzed melons and my beautiful boytoy, Becks."

Hmm. I still don't know.

dude, posh does rock. that's why I voted for her. she takes the fug all the way to its ultimate and pushes on past it back into fabulous. she is absolutely spectacular. how can I not vote for that?

Since I'm pretty sure that Posh is just another one of Bai's personalities, I have to go with her.

Oh man, talk about "all-the-way may" - BAI LING has been looking like an ICE DANCER with a side job as a SANITATION WORKER from the moon VEGA for YEARS all over this place. my vote for her is 1000% wholehearted... Posh is pretty crazy but I just feel like her cumulative choices equal her own look, whereas Bai Ling's are just insanity. On a side note, Ladies - you are true delights! This tournament of Fug - GENIUS! It gives whole new meaning to the term MARCH MADNESS!!!

Gotta go with Posh once again, simply for that ugly fuggin' hair and the sour look on her face.

Rapid Beaver is Queen of all. Queen, I say.

I'm doing a write-in vote for Sevigny even though I did go ahead and vote for Bai. Bai is just a sunny ray of insanity on my cloudy days and I love her for it. And Posh? Love her for her confidence. Like someone said, she WORKS THE FUG. At least she doesn't look ashamed like she KNOWS it's frakked up.

Write-in vote: Chloe Sevigny. Empress of Fug, Duchess of Strange.

I'm with you K.Fo. It's a travesty that Ms. Sevigny isn't in the final round. But, I cast my vote for Bai. Poor dear.

I know Bai is not of this world, but neither does she regularly appear in magazine spreads dictating fashion and hair trends.
To me, that's the essence of fug: sweet oxygen to our sense deprived brains, addled by reading so many fashion mags we are convinced high pants and the Sev are the height of fashion.
I salute your madness Bai, but Posh is Fug.

Bai Ling embodies the spirit of Fug. She is absolutely fashion nuts--and the reason you ladies exist.

Posh is awesome, but her fug flaw is that she pulls off the outrageous stuff she wears with great panache--and true fug is about the inability to pull it off.

Hence, as much as I admire Posh, I must vote for Bai.

I must concurr - Chloe Sevigny is the absolute master, I can only think that she is indeed so masterful as to be exempt from competition.
At the very least, she should have had a bracket to herself.

While I still have the chance, I must vote for (besides Bai) the return of the comments...

They're fun! They're interactive! Some of them make me chuckle almost as much as our dear Fug Girls do!

And if a nasty crazy person or two writes something gross or unitelligible -- couldn't they just be deleted, or blocked, or something?

Fug Madness has proved that Fug readers are a rather clever and festive bunch. Cheers!

First of all, thanks to the Fug Girls for providing soooo many hours of glorious entertainment (and don't forget Intern George!). I had to give my vote to Posh because, although personally I can't stand her, the woman has more than enough money to dress well and STILL she brings the major crazy. It's almost like she's daring The Hotness That Is David Beckham to still love her in some of those outfits. C'mon, Vick!

That was a tough one.
Ultimately, I voted for Bai. Nobody can fug like Bai.

Posh is high fashion fug (of the 2000 era Donatella variety), straight off the runway kind of loony, which to me she pulls off. Despite what many seem to think I really believe she does laugh at her out there choices. After reading her book, and seeing several British interviews with her it seems she really can laugh at herself and the scowl and basketball boobs are all part of the fun. I think the biggest reason she wears such things is because it makes her nummy husband crazy all the way through every party waiting to get her home in bed. I can't say I would do anything different in fact I'm afraid I might go even further in an attempt to seduce Becks. I voted for her hoping she will call me over to dinner to meet her family and so I have an opportunity to steal that man meal (what do you think my chances are?).

I agree, I think Bai is bipolar. It would only further harm her delicate mental state and self esteem. No one does an attention seeking wardrobe like that without having serious confidence issues. Let's not make this a high school cafeteria situation where Bai goes all teenage high school shooting on us because we just don't understand her!

I am SO SO proud of Bai Ling right now. My love of her no longer borders on lunacy. It has jumped the fence and is dancing naked in the fields.

I agree, K.Fo. I can't believe these two are actually considered worse than everyone else!

The look on Bai's face is slightly mischievous and cheeky, as if she's saying "I am so deranged in my fashion choices, because I just LOVE being DIFFERENT and EXCITING, especially in my crazy-arse sequin-coated pinata dress", whereas Posh's face says "Cower before me, earthlings! I am so very fashionally-gifted! Puny, pathetic mortals!!!"
And that's what tips Posh over the fug edge for me. Her wondrous powers of self-delusion...

I'm going with Posh because she actually seems to take herself seriously. She's "designing", posing in ads, and attention-whoring in heinous outfits that are supposedly AMAZING just because she wears them. She's arrogant. Bai is lovably crazy. She embraces the fug without being a bitch about it.

How is it possible that Chloe was voted off the proverbial island before the final round?

However, I'm less principled than some of the other voters and, as such, voted for Posh. Bai Ling, while very fuggy, seems to know that she's crazy, whereas Posh, I think, truly believes that she's fashionable. And that is pure fug.

Dudes, ever since I read Posh's style manual, I have been totally unable to hate on her. The woman knows her stuff and writes in the most charming, fabulous voice--I seriously want to get cocktails with her, like, EVERY NIGHT. And I love the description I heard of her once: "She's not a human. She's an perfect robot model from the future." EXACTLY! Love her!
Bai, on the other hand, inspires giggles but no love. I gotta fug her. Besides, if Vix ever finds out I said she was fug, she'll never get drinks with me.

Bai.

The fringe...god the fringe.

Wow. That shiny shiny mermaid look on Posh almost made me change my vote, but it's gotta be Bai. Posh does annoy me with what she has done to her body. But I kinda find the fierce look funny. And even when Posh dresses haute and whifs it, or dresses like dot matrix in concert, she IS NEVER over the moon. My jaw never drops, and it doesn't take me 10 seconds to recover brain activity.Only Bai has breached the stratasphere!

Thank you Heather + Jessica SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much!

Posh looks like an alien. Bai probably is an alien. I can't choose.

First of all thank you from the bottom of my withered heart for March Madness. Even though we have nothing of the sort in the Land Down Under I have garnered a newfound appreciation for the toughness of the bracket competition.

Since my early pick for the win C-Sev is out I'm putting my reasoning for voting for her towards Posh. My darling ones, sad as I am to say it you seem to have some sort of fashion icon status somewhere (still reeling from the idea of fashionistas lining up for C-Sev's line in Paris!) so you have a responsibility to not look quite so crazy. Or pouty. Or orange.

Go Posh for the win and C-Sev in '09!

It should have been a Stone-Sev final two for sure.

I'm writing in Chloe. She's the reason I started voting in the first place. She's the Mad Empress of Fugdom.

Shoulda been C-Sev. . . Bai and Posh bring me great joy in their fug, whereas Chloe just makes me want to lock myself in dark room and whimper in the corner.

I think this is really a question of which fashion faux pas is worse: breasts like polished orange tennis balls, or frequent nip slips. I'm gonna have to go with the latter.

My heart still belongs to Courtney though...

One last thing: next year's comp. should be limited to one year of Fug.

SO DISAPPOINTED - I was hoping for a face-off between Sharon Stone and Chloe Sevingy... or Sharon and Bai Ling... or Bjork and anyone.... sigh. Well, there's always next year....

There are no words.

Chloe should be the grandmistress fug of all times. She OWNS IT.

I am neither happy or sad about this final matchup. Really, there were so many worthy contestants. I can think of a number of different battles that would have been seriously challenging. And both of these contestants have worn things that make me call people over to ask them if they are seeing the same thing I`m seeing.

However, since I have always believed that the true spirit of Fug requires the delusion, `what I am wearing IS fashion`, I believe that Posh has to take it. I agree with the rest of you, that Bai is probably just wearing it for attention (and who among us hasn`t frolicked in miniskirts and bikini tops for a little attention?). I also agree that Posh believes that what she is wearing is fantastic, when everyone else feels it is just hideous. Also, really, I can`t see holding the fact that she suffers from multiple-skank-personality disorder against little Bai... It`s not her fault, she was born that way.

P.S. Is she really 37?!?!?

I couldn't decide, so I asked my husband, who looked at the pics and decided upon bai, whom I was leaning towards. Its been fun!

Gotta go for Bai Ling. The girl is clearly mad, and no one in their right might would ever try to emulate her. But Bai makes me smile- at least she looks like she's having fun with her fug. I'm afraid misguided teenagers the world over are probably following Posh. And she NEVER looks like she's having fun. I hate to say this, but with Posh I always get the impression her fug involves looking for new ways to try and to turn herself into a sex doll.

I just have to say thanks for the link to Bai Ling's blog. It was delightful.

Why, Sharon? Why?

I just want to say what sets the two a part is the pretentiousness. Posh always tries to make whatever ugly thing she has is high fashion, while Bai is clearly just screwing with us. Such a hard choice.

Bai Ling 4 EVA. Seriously - it's BAI LING. Does it get any fuggier? I think not.

I have loved every minute of this tourney, but I just gotta say a Bai-Posh match up is not that thrilling. Posh is in on her own joke, and Bai is simply a lunatic.

NOW, a Sharon Stone-Chloe Sevigny final would have really slayed us, because that is some serious, determined FUG!!

I had Bai to win this from the beginning, she is of her own breed of fug.

And a heart felt thanks to the girls who gave me SO MUCH JOY this March Madness season. Never could I have imagined so much fug in so few days, it was nothing short spectacular!

I actually spent most of today's workday trying to figure out who truly has the fugliest style. In the end, I voted for her Highness of the Nipslips, a.k.a Pinata girl, a.k.a. La Bai. She's always been unapologetically herself (plus her 10,000 personalities) times whereas La Posh has been pushing us into making us think she is a style icon.
Vote Bai'08!

the Chloe/ Bai match was so wrong. Bai is from another culture and has mental health issues, she cant be held resposible. Chloe designs clothes and is featured in Vogue as some sort of trend setter, truly much more fug.

I've watched Bai for many years, and I've never been so proud of her fugly achievements. Bai shall win on account of her total commitment to the cause of fug!

Bai Ling dresses this way for attention. Posh seriously thinks she looks good. Posh is the true fug.

Bai is a fug force of nature. Stand back and be amazed (and maybe slightly tempted to hand her a jacket).

Write in: Chloe Sevigny!

I see all the agonizing over the losses, but you know, this isn't a blog that hates women. It's true that some women (and their vampire husbands) get quite a lot of bashing here, but it's not like some Perez Hilton hating nightmare.

So the tourney winner really can't be someone we all hate, like Posh, Paris, or the Magnificent Sev.

It sort of has to be whackadoo nip slip Bai-dee-ho Ding a Ling. She's too fun! She reminds me of my theater friends in high school who weren't quite sure yet that they were gay. Those were some crazy, interplanetary outfits, and worthy of admiration.

I celebrate Bai Ling! She makes the world safe for nutso, but maybe not so safe for breasts.

Posh is sometimes really dead on with her stuff, so i had to vote for Bai.

Posh tries (and fails) to look good. Bai.....just looks like Bair

The people who wanted Chloe can't stop whining about it. That sounds about right, as Chloe herself seems kind of shrill.
But as Heather herself said: "Aha, but if she was clearly the People's Fug, wouldn't she have won all her games?"
Chloe's fug is just uninspired. And greasy. Yes she is Fug, but in a way that ANYone can be. If she had made it to a Sharon Stone smackdown, she would have lost that too.

Posh. I still think that Bai can sort of pull off her fugness.

When in doubt, my rule of thumb throughout tourney play has been: Who's less crazy and therefore should know better, ergo guilty of the greater fug? And so, I must vote for Posh.

Can I write in Chloe?

Unfortunately, I just saw Bai on an old episode of "Lost" (I'm playing catch up) and I kept saying, out loud (I live alone), "Is that Bai Ling? Oh my god, no way she'd be cast in a decent show!" several times I said this.
Then I remembered the unfortunate appearance on "Angel" a few years back and my world was consumed by the flames of hell.

The Hubster suggests that you lovely Fug Girls sell a t-shirt of the completed bracket, with all the names filled in! I'd buy one!

If Bai wins this let's introduce the
word 'bai-lingual' into our vocabs to refer to her particular brand of fug-liciousness.

"It sort of has to be whackadoo nip slip Bai-dee-ho Ding a Ling. She's too fun! She reminds me of my theater friends in high school who weren't quite sure yet that they were gay. Those were some crazy, interplanetary outfits, and worthy of admiration."

I think I love Emperor Norton. We should have a civil union. I'd say marriage but that's not how I roll. :P

Posh is fabulously fug. Bai is just funnily fug.

Nips Ahoy is going to take it all!

I don't really know how Chloe lost though -- I was behind her to win the whole thing.

This site has the funniest, most eloquent, intelligent readers I have ever come across- (Wall Street Journal, what?)

I voted for Bai. Only because La Sev was MIA. I don`t care about her mental capacity, she is FUG.

B oobies
A lways
I nverted

Last week, People had a picture of Vics in a creation by the Sev - a fug wrapped in a fug (I tried to find the link, but didn't succeed). . . and I STILL voted Bai. I can't help it - that brand of bat shit just deserves to be noticed (almost as much as orange skin and painful looking grapefruits in the breast area). SO WHAT if she's doing it on purpose? The point is, she's doing it and dammit all, it makes me smile. La Ling's fug reigns supreme . . . until next year anyway.

YEAH BAI!!!

People might actually WANT to copy Posh's style (however misguided). Evidence? See http://stealthestyle.com/category/celebrities/victoria-beckham/

It's not clear anyone COULD copy Bai Ling even if they wanted to - I mean where does she GET those things she wears?! Outer space?

Kind-of ironic, since Posh is close to the whole Alien Xenu Cult Thing - and indoctrinating poor little Katie Holmes...

So Our Girl Ling should take it. And I'm not just saying that 'cuz I predicted she'd win, although it helps. ;-)

I had to vote for Bai. I mean, Posh is a fashion disaster, but she's at least CLASSY about it, hah. Bai just walks around half-naked, wearing ugly wigs. Anyone remember the Little Ho Peep outfit?

Write-in: C.Sev.

That was Bai on Lost?! I had no idea!
If it hadn't been for you Fabulous Fug Girls and your site, I never would have known such a wonder existed.

And if Chloe deserved to be here, she would be.
The girl is heinous, I know, but her fug just didn't cut it this time.

I want a Fug Madness T-Shirt too.

BAI! BAI! BAI!

...wow, now I'm having an *NSYNC flashback.

these girls can only dream of obtaining the Fug that Sharon Stone possesses.... i must abstain in support of the high poobah of Fugness!

I agree with the first poster. Sharon was robbed!

Ok folks, lets look at the cold hard facts. Let's not try to figure out what possesses them to dress like that. Who cares. It's about the clothes. Posh is just a better dresser. Yes sometimes she is fug, but sometimes she is AWESOME. Bai is fug 100% of the time. And isn't that what matters here?

Sharon or Chloe should have taken it, really. I mean, Bai is second (third?) best (I can't fug Posh, I love her and don't care what she does).

But seriously. Sharon Stone, where did you go?

Is it wrong that when I saw Sharon's wind-tunnel hair, I immediately printed out the picture to show to my hair dresser? SO, so fab. My god.

Bai will always outfug Posh. Posh, like Sharon, chooses her fug. Bai has no control.

People were voting multiple times. Someone even admitted they were going to dump their cache so they could vote for Bai over and over when she was losing to Chloe. I watched the vote count and it was going up by the hundreds every minute at the end of the Bai/C-Sev face off.

Conspiracy theory? Maybe. But I think there was shenanigans going on. Chloe was winning and then... a huge run on the voting box. Whatever. Chloe is still the Fug Queen of my heart.

"I'll have to go with Posh for this one.

Posh thinks she's stylish. Chloe THINKS SHE is stylist.

Bai doesn't care... she's just crazy. That's not fug, that's just whacky, and I love Bai for it.

So there you have it. Fug does not equal crazy.

Fug equals an irrational assumption that what one is wearing is fashionable and envied by others, when in fact, others are scratching their heads, retching and/or saying aloud 'WTF is she WEARING??'

Therefore, I'm with Posh."

Exactly. Thanks, Meh Whatever

oh v-becks just way ahead of her time. In five years we will all be dipping ourselves in wax and taping our boobs together, just like her. Bai ling is nothing next to er majesty

Bai all the way. She was pure fug all over LOST, jeez.

And to be honest, Bai should win by default. I don't think Posh qualifies as human anymore, with that waxy skin and silicone. FREEKS me out, that one.

I am so disappointed. THE SEV is the clear winner, she should have been in the finals with Posh. Last week I saw a picture of Posh in a shirt from The Sev's clothing line which means that The Sev is THE ONE FUG THAT UNITES THEM ALL. All the Peldons and Bais in the world only add up to cheap tacky trash at best; true Fug is expensive, couture, tacky trash. I hope next year's Fug madness will live up to its name.

I have to go Team Bai, if only because Vicky B's "globular boobs", as one other poster so expertly pointed out, aren't their own stand-alone entry in this year's competition. And Bai is just so consistently fug, whereas Vicky B occasionally hits it out of the park. The infrequent hits, plus David B. as arm charm - you can have all the Birkins you want, I'm going with David B. as best damn accessory - gives Vicky the anti-fug edge.

I've got to vote for Posh on this one. Not because she looks significantly worse, because that's debatable, but because Bai Ling is DELIBERATELY looking bad to get attention. The poor girl has no career, so she goes out in these outfits because that's the only way she can get any press.

Posh has no career either, but she's got money, and damn - she really and truly thinks her look is FABULOUS!!

Bai is nuttier than a nut bar. I cannot, with any conscious, vote for a mentally imbalanced, albeit fug-awesomely-delicious, fashion disaster.

Posh is the embodiment of fug. Perennially scowling, regually orange, & unafraid to go where no fug has gone before...all that money & all that arm candy can't save her now...

And Sev-supporters...stop the sour grapes already. Looks like y'all drank a few too many bowls of "loud mouth soup". Put on your fun hats & enjoy the competition.

While this has been GREAT FUN, Uproarious Fun, I feel a little, I dunno, let down by this matchup. I don't feel that these are really the two fugliest of the fug. I don't feel that these are the most amazingly fugly, the true fuggers of them all.

I would like different categories to vote in next time, a la Oscars of Fug. Most Guilty of Spreading Fug Like a Disease to Youngsters. Most Unaware of What the Fug Fugger is Doing. Most Delusional Fugger. Fugger Most Convinced S/he Is a Style Icon but Who Really Looks Like Doo Doo. Fugger Most Capable of Looking Good but Most Likely to Appear in Public as a Trainwreck. Most Batshit Fugger. Most Entertaining Fugger. Most Endearing Fugger. Fugger Who Can Do No Wrong. Person Who Is Simply Misunderstood/In Need of Some Proper Grooming, But Who Is Not Fug, Despite What All the Other People Say, Come Here, Darling, I’ll Fix You Some Tea and Cake.

This is impossible. The two need to merge, to form the ultimate masterpiece:

A big ol' fashioned slice of Fug Pai.
With a scoop of crazy on the side.

Either that or a cage match.

Bai Ling IS Go Fug Yourself. She and Peldon would not have entered my consciousness without this site. Therefore, for her not to win would be worthy of crying many beautiful sequined tears. I can't believe Posh made it this far. She's tragic, but when I think fug, I don't think plasticized Spice Girl. Paris or Chloe or, for goodness sakes, Lindsey "Leggings" Lohan would have been worthy competition, but Bai, the girl of a zillion personalities, is the automatic winner now!

I ended up voting for Bai, only because Posh can sometimes sort-of almost pull it off.
However, I would officially like to cast a Chloe Sevigny vote. Honorable mention? Something? Please? She deserves it.

I'm so sad this is now over.

La Royal Britania ruined my super cute short-in-the-back-long-up-front hairdo. And I had to go all MD 20/20 Britney and shave the beast when a handsome brute said "Love the POSH bob" She's no fashion icon, just a sad, super rich spoiler. Totally gets my vote, but "Smurfvigny '09"!

Crap! I accidentally clicked "Posh"!! I was just so excited to vote.

Rhiana, just delete your cookies and vote again. Everyone is!

I just remembered Bai is fighting on behalf of Charo! That makes me so happy!! You guys are so sweet to remember Charo and bring her into this giant Fug Pile-up! Someone should tell her! Heh! And send her a t-shirt!

Quite frankly am opposed to Bai ling winning anything. Also, Posh works hard for it and i think that should be acknowledged. I sat on the fence for most of this competition (i'm sorry, the sharon stone ones were just too hard for my tiny brain - i had vision of it exploding from the stress - so a thank you to my fellow fuggers for choosing for me). as i reconfirmed today - fug = fantastically ugly - and that has to be posh. let there be a happy ending to this. please people. vote with your hearts.

I give it to Bai, cause she sometimes wears things that were not originally intending to be clothing. And ya gotta respect the intent to commit fug. She has given us her all... Bai for the win!!

I think Bai Ling knows she's Bai Ling, and is laughing at us.

Posh is too shiny. At least Bai Ling doesn't make me feel oily, just looking at her.

It was so tough for me to decide, I delved into the archives. Ultimately I chose the fugly based on how many photos I could bear to look at before I had to screw my eyes shut and scream "NO MORE!" I got to that point quickest with Bai, so she's my girl.

Thanks Fug Girls for the wonderful entertainment! I'm a sorority president and the ladies and I had a great time debating amongst ourselves with the "Bracket of Fug". Thanks again and we all can't wait for March Madness next year...

Ah, I feel a "The Sev Was Robbed" t-shirt coming on.

In other news, I'm wondering if peoples' voting method is coming into play with regard to certain upsets (you know who you are). I mean, if you vote with your gut, you get one answer, but I'm hearing a lot of people talk about carefully-considered logical pathways that brought them to their fug destination. I don't know about that. Fug is ineffable; it must be apprehended by the Knowingness that exists beneath conscious thought. My suspicion is that those of you creating flowcharts and conducting focus groups when all along, you only needed your heart's fug truth, are the ones skewing the results. If we all allowed the fug to rise within and make its way instinctively toward its godhead, Chloe would be here right now. Just saying.

THANK YOU GIGI!
Enough with the Chloe whining, people.

I'm sorry, I just don't have an opinion on these two. I'm confused at what fug is supposed to mean anymore. We have two camps: unerring bad taste, and dressing for attention because there's no other reason anyone would look at you. I think fug means bad taste (or errors in judgement), but I don't think that's what everyone else is thinking here.

Is it a badge of honor, or a badge of shame? Or have we completely lost that distinction?

The crown's in Bai's bag, and rightly so! Look, she's THE FUGGER... Posh hits it right sometimes this means the fuggery that she showed are of cos due to her breaking her mirrors in an (alledged) fit and then storming out of the house with the neareset thing within reach (after Becks, that is) and then match it with a scowl on her pixie face. BAi on the other hand are always smiling and never disappoints with her fuggness, the true mark of a Queen! so when it comes to smile or scowl, its no contest lovelies :)

i'm as bored with posh as she is with playing this role.

bai, on the other hand, often looks as if she -- at the very last minute -- threw on the 5th pick of four outfits just as she was leaving the house.

award the fuggery and let there be peace in the land!
