(2) LADY GAGA vs. (7) MARY-KATE OLSEN

Now that we've ripped off the Pantsless Lady Gaga Band-Aid, we might as well give it to you plain: The woman has no shame.

What I don't understand -- aside from, you know, not wearing pants -- is how she can hate the feeling of fabric on her legs, yet she's perfectly okay with tight, thick, shiny panty-hose chafing against her thighs and crotch while she wears her actual underwear on the OUTSIDE. I also have questions about which Muppet she defiled to make that coat collar, and why she wears hair bows the size of throw-pillows. But I'm not holding my breath for answers.

Besides, it's a fallacy to claim Lady Gaga never wears pants. She does SOMETIMES:

However, she may have been in uniform for her side gig as a security guard at a Delft pottery manufacturer in Dutch country.

Speaking of myths, it's untrue to suggest Mary-Kate Olsen always wears tragic caftans, or old-lady fancy-dress caftans, or half-caftans. For instance, she willingly put on this:

Seriously, at first I thought this was a photo of Nicole Richie that someone mislabeled. But, no. That face is pure Olsen. The glasses? Pure Aunt Edna.

Maybe that's why she once switched to these:

That, or she mugged a child to protect her precious retinas from the searing brightness of camera flashbulbs.



(6) PAULA ABDUL vs. (14) KATIE "JORDAN" PRICE

Obviously, one of these women is little and one of them has something -- two things, in fact -- very, very large. But are they REALLY so different?

Katie basically pilfered my entire wedding-day ensemble, and Paula has on what I don every weekend, when I work at my side job as the ringmaster of a Cold Mountain-themed circus. Wouldn't they make great roommates? Or maybe they could road-trip around the country, Oprah-and-Gayle style, thrilling us all with a reality-show about their culture clashes and how bad Katie is at driving an RV, while La Price tries to find Paula a rural man who understands her unique language of Imbecile.

Of course, get them out of the sequins, and there are still problems.

Paula's hair looks even more like a bad wig than normal. I mean, seriously, is that a BANGS combover? We have plenty on the record of her looking insane via full ensembles, which you should as usual peruse before voting, but this photo randomly struck me with the fugly stick. It's almost like a really bad toupe. IS it? Is it, Paula? Why are you, at this point in your career, still kind of hopeless?

As for Katie... Katie, Katie, Katie. It's apt here she's at an event taking place at the Ripley's Believe It Or Not museum in London, because generally I ask myself that question about her outfits and settle on "not." It's very unfortunate for everyone present that her pirate shirt has a see-through bottom, but as ever, this is where we give it up for panties and light a candle to their sagacious maker.

GAGA for the win!!!!

Oh Lady Gaga, you're like the Barbie of Martians...


Surely there's more to being Fug than just exposing your nether regions at every opportunity. Mary-Kate must take the win here on that basis alone.

God, today's match ups are tough. Gaga and Jordan take it, though, just because... well... look at them.

Where does one even find Curious George sunglasses? Take her out, Betty Boop on crack.

I'm going for Mary-Kate on this one. At least Lady Gaga has the excuse of being an on-stage performer. Mary-Kate would wear a burlap tarp with mink lining to make a Starbucks run.

I'm conflicted. On the one hand, there is no doubt in my mind that Lady Gaga is much, much fuglier than MK, nor is there any doubt that Lady Tatas is much fuglier than Paula. So, if I'm going by fug alone, it's a no-brainer. But the thing is, I actually like Mary Kate and Paula; eccentric and unstable though they may be, there's also some genuine talent, and real sweetness, I think, in both of them. Hence, I want to vote for them just to keep them in the running and visible. Also, it's not a fair contest based on fug alone: the Ladies Gaga and Tatas are actually TRYING to look ridiculous; Paula and Mary Kate are trying to be cute & fashion forward; the relatively sane competitors, who are trying to wear something that resembles actual clothing, should be held to a much higher standard than the crazy ladies who wear outrageous Look-At-My-Cooter-Or-Hooters costumes.

Oh dear Lord, please, please, please, let the "Jordan"/Paula tv show come to pass! Amen.

Lady Gaga's pantlessness is bad enough, but control-top hose? Just, no.
And Paula's look is Revolutionary, not Civil.

I can't believe Lady Gaga is doing as well as she is. Her fashion is ridiculous but all her outfits are like costumes. She isn't wearing those clothes because she thinks they look good. I had wanted to see Whitney Port knock her out, and now it looks like M-K Olsen might not even be capable of defeating her.

Nice shout-out to Delft!

That might be my favorite reference EVER. (... and trust me when I say I have a lengthy list of favorite Fug references to proclaiming this one "favorite" is a big deal.)


Leave it to Paula to mess up my freaking bracket. Maybe she'll rally.

Or maybe I'll stop sitting here clicking refresh over and over waiting for the next contestants when I should be doing something, ANYTHING, else.

Also, one of the neglected kids in this house looked over my shoulder at the first pic of Lady G and asked if Spears had gone off her nut again.

I said yes, it was easier than explaining what I'm doing.

This is getting harder... I had a really tough time between Aubrey O Day and Phoebe Price though. Aubrey won out though. Lady Gaga gets my vote based solely on the image of those stockings chafing up against her lady parts... and I use the the term lady loosely, as she is clearly not one. Someone get Henry Higgins up in here, stat.

Oh, this was hard too. Lady Gaga is the perfect name for her, but it all smacks too much of a scam. Like maybe she sneaks out dressed normally so no one will recognize her. I mean, really, she can't REALLY think her way of dressing is acceptable.

Whereas Mary Kate believes in her grandma clothes. She drowns in material, like her only wish is to hide from the world. It's really kind of sad.

Paula vs KJPrice wasn't easy either. They're both totally wacky, and kind of entertaining. But I had to go with KJPrice simply because she's not as endearing as Paula, and way too slutty.

I have to point this out... Paula is a Revolutionary War re-enactor here, not Civil War. A hundred years further into the past, which may actually make this worse...

That was difficult.
Gaga and her pantlessness just barely eek a win for me over MK's crazy old granny look. Just barely.
Paula wins for me because she is stateside and her fug is always on display. In words and style. I feel Katie fugs it for the famewhoring of it all while Paula truly believes she is stylish. Looks like Katie will win this one but for me it's Paula all the way.

But who is Lady Gaga? What claim does she have to fame? How is she deserving to be on this list?

While I'm voting M-K for looking like that just normally, I have to wonder if Gaga is wearing a chest plate. Can someone confirm/deny this for me?

i find myself consistently making my decision based on personality as much as fug - which of these women try to parade their fug as actual fashion, as opposed to just being outright crazy. i feel that the former truly deserve the title.

the one who exposes more flesh gets my vote. that's just nasty. (Jordan, I'm pointing my elbows in your general direction, being afraid to look.)

I love the Olsens. Much like I love Posh. I can't vote for Mary-Kate, I just can't. (I mean, she has the prettiest green eyes ever.) Fortunately, I don't have to, because Lady Ga-Ga made me blind. Thank goodness I can touch type.

Are those control top pantyhose on Gaga in that first picture?
Yes, yes they are.
Is that extra fug? Yes, yes it is.

Wowsa. Tacky versus retarded. What to do. I went with Mary Kate over GaGa, as Mary Kate's hippie gone awry looks are irritating (Curious George on the bridge of your nose?). Then, after fearlessly walking down Paula's and Jordan's individual Carpets of Shame, I was rendered voteless until I got to the itty bitty gold belt skirt from Jordan and I clicked. Paula, as misguided as she is, entertains, while Ms. Price repels.

Are those control top pantyhose on Gaga in that first picture?
Yes, yes they are.
Is that extra fug? Yes, yes it is.

It's really hard to articulate a thought other than "Oh, sweet merciful lord, NOOOOO."

I still can't vote for Gaga. i just can't.
Even if i could bring myself to vote for her, Grandma Olsen sealed my vote with the coat/tights thing.
Is the coat really short or are her tights really... saggy... in the crotch... i'm both confused and slightly nauseated by it.
It looks like she's wearing a full diaper.

On the other hand i CAN vote for Jordan. I half expect to see pictures of her at the grocery store wearing the robotic armor Kylie used for her entrance on her last tour.
In fact, now that I say that, it feels as though I have seen her wearing robot armor at some point...
oh that beats even the most spectacular crazy Paula has ever pulled out.

THINK ABOUT IT: Lady Gaga is promoting an image to keep her at the top of the charts... i don't think she would actually wear that stuff in real life. It's like she walks around in stage costumes ALL THE TIME. Mary Kate, on the other hand, chooses to dress like that. She thinks it looks good, it's her "style" and she loooves it (hello, wrote a book)! think about it people!!


and as for katie and paula... the fact that paula is completely off her rocker swings my vote. I get giddy every Tuesday watching her slur, sounding like a incompetant fool next to the new judge Kara. then I look at what she is wearing... and realize her words match her outfits. it all makes sense.

my heart is breaking...mk is not beating lady gaga? lady gaga's fug is a one trick pony...mk's fug exists in oh so many ways...old lady, bag lady, homeless lady...gaga only has gaga
similarly i feel like katie is a two trick pony (her boobs...teehee)give it up to paula...her outfits depend on which drug cocktail is soaring through her veins
come on voters...go with fug-satility! not the same fug over and over
underdog powers unite!

Damn, double post. Sorry. This is too much freaking fun.

I read that Gaga makes her own clothes, which makes it worse.

I had to go with Mary Kate because, as fugly as Madame Baby Talk's pantslessness can be, she's clearly playing this character of the space-princess-dance-diva and, well, you have to appreciate her commitment. The Olsens, on the other hand, just published a book on their "fashion influences," as if being really skinny and moderately famous automatically makes you a fashion visionary, and that makes any caftan worn by them have the power of ten. Caftans. Or something.

>>But who is Lady Gaga? What claim does she have to fame? How is she deserving to be on this list?<<

She's a singer -- she's had some stuff on the charts, but I can't tell you what any of it is. Working from home means I NEVER listen to the radio, which has probably turned me into a crotchety old lady who doesn't get what "the kids" are into these days.

Had to go with Mary Kate over Gaga, at least Lady Gaga is some kind of performer and goes for shock value with her outfits. Mary Kate just looks like a crazy old homeless lady.

As for Katie "Jordan" Price v. Paula, I have to vote for the Jordan, Paula may actually be crazy, thus explaining her ensembles whereas Jordan actually thinks she looks attractive. I believe she is the very definition of British "chav".

Has anybody discussed the fact that in photo #1, "Lady" Gaga is wearing control-top pantyhose??!!?!?

Paula how could you in your fugy weirdness let me down so! I was on a roll! I'm dissapointed MK came up against Gaga, I'm sure she could have taken some others. I'm so personally offended by her.

KJP vs. Paula was one of the hardest match ups to choose in this whole kit-in-caboodle. It's almost like they are twin sisters of different mothers. And to say that one of their fugs is worse than the other confounds me.
I voted for Abdul, but it looks like KJP will prevail.
Ga-Ga vs. Granny Olsen was equally as challenging. When it came down to voting, I had to go with who I thought was the more insane.

Come on Lady Gaga! If you INSIST on running around pantsless in your underwear (however bedazzled they may be) AT LEAST get some sheer pantyhose to put under your fancy pants. That really should not need to be told to you.

Oh please...Gaga is trying to get attention by dressing like an X-rated Mousketeer. M-K actually think she looks good. In my book, THAT'S a more egregious demonstration of Fug.

Actually, Lady Gaga told Entertainment Weekly that she's a fashion icon. She thinks what she wears is ugly but important. Yes, people, she called it important.

i keep picking the people who are losing today!

this is ridiculous, though. i know we're just voting for people's transgressions in '08, but lady gaga can't unseat mary-kate when she's so new to the scene. mary-kate has a long history of fugitude that can't be thrown away.

and katie price is TRYING to look ridiculous, so she doesn't deserve to win. paula abdul is oblivious to her horrible fugliness; she can't help it. paulapaulapaula!!!

I went for MK only because Lady Gaga does it for attention, MK really means it!

OMG this was a HARD one. They are ALL fug!

I remember when we moved back to the States from London a few years ago I was a bit annoyed that the Beckhams were following us (this was before I learned to appreciate Posh because of this site). But now it seems Jordan is also invading our shores. ARGH!

Definitely had to vote for her.

I had to go with MK. Like everyone else said, GaGa is wearing costumes- we don't see her going grocery shopping in her underwear. We would, however, see MK wearing something from Mama Cass's estate sale to both red carpet events and to get a pack of smokes from a corner deli.

Come on guys, Lady Gaga is just in it for shock value. MK has actually got magazines fawning over her sense of fashion. The girl puts the "sty" in "style" for sure. Vote MK!

I initially was going to vote for Paula, due to the fact that Jordan's craziest ensembles seem to coincide with her promotional events, whereas Paula breaks out the crazy of her own volition. However, reviewing the archives reminds me that Jordan's fugly transcends any excuses.

I actually votes against the Gaga in the last round, citing that her costumes are for the stage. However, you had me with that photo of her wearing what appears to be control top hose as tights, er, leggings, er... something. Seriously, sweetie, no. No, no, no. Do you wear socks with your flipflops, too?

Also, KJP v. Abdul is tough, but I gotta say KJP is still trashtastic in a way that is too low for Abdul to even think of stooping to, which absolves her of being the fuggest of that pair.

I'm with Sonya, I don't even know who this Gaga person is, but it appears she is wearing costumes, not bad outfits...ok, bad costumes, but costumes none the less...so I voted Mary Kate

Katie Price seems to be only known for what she wears...frankly I don't know what she does either. So I voted for Paula cuz she has a career doing something...and she wears bat-shit crazy outfits

Oh, Lord. Even though ALL of these people are far richer than they have any right to be, MKO is the richest, and dresses like a deranged octogenarian rifling through the remainders in a bin at Goodwill. That she does so little with so much wins her my vote.

Lady Gaga because seriously... control top pantyhose! Laughed out loud to the Delft pottery security as well. Also, I didn't know the homeless were in this contest.

Oh, Jordan, how I love you. Everything you do is always way too much. You're like a black-haired-barbie.

I love the outfit that has two different halfs as well. Oh, please tell me, where can I buy it?

What KILLS me about Lady GaGa (fyi, I have YET to hear one of her songs) is that those pantyhose are control top! She has to get the FUG for that alone. And I don't get not wearing pants out? How do you not wear pants for God sakes!

Although, those shoes in MKO's first pic are pretty tragic.

Can somebody tell me, is MKO wearing anything other than tights in the featured picture? I think I might have detected som variety of super-mini see-through skirt but I'm doubtful.

And as for Lady Gaga, does that lilac coat she's wearing have the gloves built into it?
Built in gloves and fraggle-hair epaulets? How do you even come up with an idea like that?

It was pretty simple picking Lady GaGa. But dammit, it got to hard trying to pick between Paula and Katie. I had to call my Diva girlfriend for reinforcement. It's got to be Paula. If only for that bad wig that she had the confidence to wear. God bless her!

It's not that MKO's wardrobe choices aren't bad. They are. So. Bad. It's just that Lady Gaga is pure, unbridled fashion psychosis!

Lady Gaga for the win! No pants is one thing but no pants + control top pantyhose + a giant bow + lipstick that makes her look like she was making out with a glacier + bejewelled panties on the outside of her pantyhose = FUG triumph.

The Paula vs Katie/"Jordon" matchup was harder. Katie/"Jordon" is just too ridiculous to ignore but Paula seems to really think her clothes are fashionable! She needs a guiding hand, a stylist, a prayer, something! She just looks fug all the time! One browse through the archives proves it. I had to cast my vote for her.

KJP... maternity... thing... Sweet merciful crap, now I need a lobotomy.

Definitely La GuhguhguhguhguhguhGaga. I'll always go with someone whose biggest hit implies she has a severe stutter and contains the words, "I'm bluffin' wit' mah muffin."

No, no, no, NO, NOOOOOOOO!!! LADY GAGA CAN NOT BEAT THE QUEEN OF ALL FUG, THE HOMELESS SQUIRREL-TROLL, BALDWIN-SISTER WANNABE, MONKEY HEADED PRUUUUUUUUNE LIPPED MOTHER OF ALL FUGS, MK OLSEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't take it. I need my nitroglycerin. Lady Gaga's only crime is having a butt that needs to be aired out constantly, ok and the hair bows, and yeah that vase-gone-wrong thing up there, BUT STILL!!! The originator of DERELICTE lice-chic, who has no excuse to dress like a mountain of dirty old bathroom rugs accessorized by a pair of Elton John's rejected sunglasses, except that she has more money than she obviously knows what to do with, is my all-time fuggiest fugger who ever fugged, WITHOUT the charm YES CHARM of a Jordan or a Posh or even yes a Phoebe Price. UGG UGG UGG not the boots the sound of my stomach having fits of horror and puke at the thought of homeless MK losing to someone as puerile and flash-in-the-pan as Lady Gaga. Please, don't mess with my heart in this manner, I beg of you.

It has to be MK!!!! Her fug changes while Lady Pantsless is just that, always the same kind of pantsless...where's the fun in that??

While Paula is fantastic in her craziness, K'J'P is just, well, FUGTASTIC!!!

Yes, the fug reigns supreme with Mary-Kate and Paula because they're serious! It's true Jordan Price makes you want to throw up and Lady Gaga's pant-less-ness is setting a bad example but we know they are costumes whereas Mary Kate is pretending to be a fashion icon (for the under the bridge set apparently) and Paula's outfits are entirely inspired visions induced by pill-popping. I thought intent and motivation were important here. Sigh, I guess Bai Ling won last year.

See, the thing with Lady Gaga is... she means it. She means to look like an alien, and she does. She throws her heart into the fug. It's intentional. It's serious.

With MK, though, there's this put upon act, like "Oh, this old drowned rat wrapped around my neck? Gosh, you know, I just tossed it on at the last minute."

You just know with MK that she's lying awake at night with her sketchbook and a photo album of roadkill and those little 25 cent machine necklaces trying to put together outfits that she can claim were assembled in a fit of creativity after she rolled around in her money and didn't wash her hair for 18 days. For MK to claim that her fuggery is unintentional... well, that in and of itself is what makes it truly fug.

MK had to get my vote.

Meanwhile, I like anybody who uses unicorns in her speech on a regular basis, so Katie definitely outfugs Paula.

C'mon everyone, Lady Gaga looks crazy but that is part of the club kid persona. I'm sure on a day off with the family she looks like an actual human. At least her look is consistent. Mary-Kate just throws things together haphazardly as though she gets dressed blindfolded. In the dark. I just don't understand how someone so young looking can transform themselves into a crazy old lady every single day. It must be exhausting.

Olsen has to win because she has a fashion line! I mean, she is a purported fashion professional. That is NOT OK. Lady Gaga is just a weirdo. She can't help it. She may not know any better.

I'm brokenhearted to see that M-K and Paula are so far behind. Come on, people: KJP and Gaga are all sizzle and no steak. And they're doing it on purpose, just to get on your nerves. Don't give them what they want! Vote M-K and Paula!

I'm cheered a little to see that so many of the commenters seem to share my love for dear old senile cat-lady M-K, but that makes me think Gaga's domination in the voting is a little... suspicious. I think she's hacked into the system and is fixing the results!

Never forget: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v719/gofugyourself/GFY092007/80722340.jpg

*As typing stops, alternate fist-shaking and hand-wringing recommence.*

Oh no. This is turning into the same kind of battle as last year. Should the vote go to the fuggliest costume-wearing flesh-baring fame-hos, or to those who are trying oh-so-hard to be arty, fashionable, and "purty" but still achieve total fugosity? It's like choosing between your most ill-considered pre-teen Halloween costume and what you probably wore to senior prom. It's the Bai, Phoebe, Courtney Love camp vs. Posh, Beyonce, SWINTON, Paris, etc.

"Costume" fug, in my book, is less deserving of votes than "serious" fug. So for me it's MK over that other one. But what to do when they're both simply batshit crazy? Had to go with Paula, she wears that stuff to work, not just appearances, and always seems so pleased with herself.

Okay first, this is just unreasonably fun - it's way better than basketball, especially since my OSU Buckeyes are out :( - sorry had to mourn there for a bit. Second, I'm in such a muddle - can you vote on someone because you just find her figure sort of off - case in point - Olson's strangely shapeless, and in fact, almost bowed, legs (complete with platforms that DON'T FIT (I mean the legs aren't her fault, but still - they bother me). Or, should I go with GaGa, who not only is wearing her panties outside her hose, BUT said stockings also appear to be CONTROL TOP. Now, I've got nothing against some control tops - lord knows I wear them to smooth things out, but outside the outfit? It's really inexcusable - but she's a singer, so it's kind of par for the course. I think I'm going to have to go with the Olson. (I too, however, keep wanting to think of FTW as "Fug the World - it's kind of satisfying).

thank you for March Madness - the writting is supperb - what metaphores! (agree about the Deft comparison) - I hardly read any cleb. gossip until I started fugging in your site - needed to get the background info to enjoy the jokes -
About the voting:
I believe there should be a golden statue of Posh' siloutte wearing the heelless boots- like the oscars should e given to the winner. Posh should not be in competition - no one can compete with her - she is the standard, the benchmark, the dream.
The voting should focused firstly on "fashion sense" not shamelessness. MKO eliminates Lady Gaga based on that criteria. No doubt, it is bad taste no to wear pants, and a big fug to use control top tights - but the creativity of MKO is closer to the Posh standard.

Dear God that IS a bangs combover! I think I may be sick.
and as for YOU GaGa. Lady, your legs aren't THAT impressive, they will still be there regardless of how little clothing you equip them with so please, for everyone's sakes. WEAR. SOME. CLOTHES.
ps. I love FugMadness. It's like Christmas but better.

Come on, guys. Lady Gaga is run-of-the=mill bizarre. MKs fug is on its own plane of awful.

And I think Katie beats Paula, because while they both look seriously cracked-out, Katie looks like a whore as well. Plus, she paid to have those...things put into her chest.

Lady Gaga: If you're going to wear pantyhose as pants, at least make sure they're not CONTROL TOP. How ridiculous!

See, I think Gaga and her outfits are AWESOME. There's no one else like her! I'll be sad if she advances over MK. But also happy because then we'll see more over her. (Not that we haven't seen enough of her, buttcheek-wise, but you know what I mean.)

MKO vs. Lady Gaga is a tough one. At first I thought, OK, Lady Gaga is just costumey-crazy and MKO's caftans are every-day horrific. However, I have to confess...there is almost something I like about Mary-Kate. Maybe it's because she so little and has that appealing smile. Maybe it's that, despite the overall shapelessness and the unkempt hair, I actually like the way Mary-Kate mixes colors and textures. Furthermore, (a) Lady Gaga insists on wearing her costumes everywhere as if she's some kind of superhero, and ain't NOTHIN' heroic about that singing, and (b) she's actually wearing tights with the "reinforced pantie" in that picture up there...I went for Gaga.

I think that last vote might LITERALLY have been the hardest decision I've ever had to make... That's almost as sad as how Jordan's tiara makes me feel.

I'm not sure we can state, with any certainty, that the Lady Gaga "hates the feeling of fabric on her legs;" I feel certain her pantslessness stems from a fame whoredom that makes her the equal of Phoebe Price.

I'm with everyone else who's anxious that this year's Fug crown will go to one of these trashy-for-trashy's-sake, lens-hungry beasts that seem to be sweeping the early rounds, rather than a proper connoiseur of Fug. A treasure like Mary-Kate losing to that one-woman circus? SJP losing to Lisa Rinna, for pete's sake? I'm a bit worried SWINTON may not even make the final round.

Come on people! Lady Gaga doesn't wear pants, but it's costume-y. Mary Kate Olsen THINKS SHE'S A FASHION ICON! MKO all the way!

I'm losing on both counts. All are awful, but Lady Gaga and Katie Jordan Price are very much intentional. MKO actually went out like that just because. JUST BECAUSE! Paula is just cracked out.

NO! My bracket just took its first hit. C'mon people, GaGa is for show, MKO is really the definition of fug. I'm disappointed in all of you!

OMG, this is so difficult. How could you make this possible, Heather and Jessica...? That Lady Gaga and MKO would be matched up together is just...just...just something so bad I can't even decide on a good analogy.

I must finally decide in favor of Lady Gaga, but I'll always be sad that MKO's caftans didn't get the attention they so fully, fully deserve.

C'mon people! I know Lady Gaga is tragic, but Mary-Kate reckons she is a fashion Icon! She needs to be schooled that she is a FUG Icon!

Paula looks like she stole Blagojevich's hair and stapled it to her forehead. Yikes!

If I saw MK on the street I would wrap her in my arms and tell her it's okay to cry- and eat stuff. It's infuriating that it costs so much money to look that fragile, emotionally unstable and haggard at 20 something years old. However as tragic as she may be- Gaga MUST WIN. There is a difference between hating life like MK and having a clearheaded disastrous wardrobe like GAGA!!

I vote MK and Paula, simply for Victoria's message above.

Ga-Ga and Price are obviously wearing costumes to get attention, while MK and Paula actually dress like that to go out in public. BIG difference.

I had to vote for Katie Price because of what she did to that poor pony. Have you ever seen such abject fear in a pony's eyes? Also, I have a feeling that Paula might be nuts, so I hate to vote for the emotionally unstable.

Lady G got my vote based on what appear to be control-top pantyhose as trousers.

Gaga may gag some, but she's just so consistent with the look,and she's wearing costumes to get attention. It's too deliberate. It's even a little boring.

Mary-Kate is a big, no-thought accident of fug. She's a fugging train wreck. Even when she TRIES to look good, she goes down the fug path.

Paula and Katie were a little harder for me. I had to go with Katie, though, because on rare occasions Paula still successfully fakes looking human. I'm convinced one day Katie will point her finger at the world and emit a high pitched shriek, and we will find a pod somewhere.


Dan: you read my mind. That is EXACTLY why I voted for MK. How do you have all that money and still dress like crap?!

As for the "Jordan" vs Paula match up, I cannot in good conscience vote for someone who might possibly have a mental illness. You get a pass, Paula.

Katie vs. Paula was difficult. They are so closely matched in their fugliness... even now I'm not sure I made the right decision.

You say Cold Mountain-themed circus, I say, "Hey Paul Revere, your shiny pants are alerting the British."

Though MK vs Lady Gaga was a tough one (one of them says she's wearing her wacky no-pants outfits as "art," one of them has the gall to have a "clothing" line) I ultimately gave MK a free pass because she grew up working every day with Dave Coulier. Of COURSE she just wants to vanish off the earth, or at least hide in giant clothes.

I have to go with MKO...simply because i feel that although GAGA's refusal to wear pants is truly frightening, it is part of her "gimic" so to speak....
meaning
there is no excuse for the olsen brand of fug. and i think, unless i mix the twins up that mk was pantless in public long before we even knew who lady gaga was...
am i right?

now, Jordan/Price..whoever she is...her clothing is shockingly fug...but i have to go with Paula because she is forever dressed like she is on an episode of the Love Boat. And i think that she is earnestly trying to dress up in something "special".
JP knows that her outfits are stupid whereas i give a few extra points to Paula for seemingly being unaware that blue sequins leggings and a ponytail might be absurd.

Lady Gaga hands down. Eeep. I kind of wish you HADN'T ignored her all this time; that's some of the best (worst?) fug I've ever laid eyes on.

Then Katie, also pretty easily. Paula's clothes crazy can be written off to her regular crazy--Katie has no excuse.

omg PEOPLE. Why are we rewarding people not wearing clothes? Mary Kate actually thinks she looks good. Thats why she wins. Gaga is just getting press. and youre ALL FALLING FOR IT.

Kat-an / Jord-ie is just a media-whore with a penchant for the truly unfabulous.

Paula actually believes in her wardrobe! as if it were it's own entity sometimes!! She even launched a tacky-jewelery line, what's next, another biography, perhaps entitled "Love Paula: From My Planet to Yours"?!
Delusion that severe deserves some kind of award!
And prescription.

I read somewhere that Lady Gaga accused Christina Aguilera of copying her look. All I could think was, 'why would she want to?'

Lady Gag(a) hands down over Mary Kate - who just looks sad and hungry.

Katie "Jordan" Price is proof that the Brits do insanity better than anyone else. She makes Paula Abdul look like a kooky aunt - fug but no dangerously so.

KatieJordan's super soaraway success makes me proud to be a Brit. Her Royal Poshness is probably brewing something noxious in her last season's Marc Jacob's tote to queer her pitch.

I voted Katie Price because you can partially blame Paula's clothes on the AI wardrobe people. Price doesn't have an excuse. MK has had a year of hits and misses but Gaga has just been bad.

So tough!

In the end I had to go with GaGa. The fact that in the first shot up there, you can actually see the CONTROL TOP part of her pantyhose just solidifies the fug for me. After scrolling through M-K's offenses she almost stole it away with her horrible "old-lady-glam" look but then I go back to the control top and my vote was sealed.

I also struggled with Jordan vs. Paula. I had to meander through the archives a couple times. But in the end, looking at only the body of work during this eligibility period, I voted for Jordan. She is just waay too over the top, with the boobs and the clothes, while Paula is just marginally over the top, with the boobs and the clothes. For me anyway.

The thing is... Mary-Kate is trying to be fashionable and turns up fug, while Lady GaGa is just trying to be some weird martian barbie... and turns up fug. I have to give it to Mary-Kate.

Jordan's clothing is so revealing, I can see her ovulating. COVER IT UP, HOLY JEEZ! I'm not your OBGYN!

I had to vote for M-K. I mean, Gaga looks like trash, but M-K looks like she EATS trash. Derelicious! And when she doesn't look like a vagrant, she looks geriatric. Such a shame!

I do not understand how Lady Gaga is beating out MKO!?! Gaga amuses me for some reason, but MKO actually fancies herself a FASHION DESIGNER for cripe's sake! At least Gaga isn't spreading her fug......

In the battle of L'eggs vs Curious George-The control top pantyhose give the edge to Lady GagGag. No way to make those hip, no matter how hard you are trying. No way. Not like making those Curious George sunglasses kinda hip if you are going for the Hello Kittie crowd.

Agree with Jenna. I can't understand how Gaga beats Olsen. With the millions of dollars MKO has she should be able to hire people to pick out good clothes and actually dress her in them.

GAGA v. MKO:
So...I will admit that I love Lady Gaga. I think she is deliciously insane and self-deluded in her artistry. But fug is her schtick--it's her MO. Mary-Kate, on the other hand, wrote a book with her her twin sister about fashion, and still dresses like that? No, no, no. Sorry, GaGa. Mary-Kate FTW.

PAULA v. THIS PRICE PERSON:
Paula's fug is...endearing. It fits her personality. Sometimes, it looks like she dressed under the influence. She seems to be under the influence on American Idol quite often. SEE?! It all makes sense. This Price person, on the other hand...no. Just...no. She is trying to be inappropriate. She is trying to be fugly. Gotta hand it to her, she is doing a damn fine job of it.

I am so over Lady GaGa. There's more to fug than not wearing pants.

I say Katie "Jordan" Price for the win! A while back I had a friend who was, in the nicest possible way, a tabloid hack and her editor once assigned her to chase a heavily pregnant Jordan with a curry to try and induce the birth. Which has nothing to do with Fug Madness, but I thought you would like the mental image.

Anyway, Lady GaGa is sort of SWINTON-esque in her intent, if not her execution. Where as Olsen seems to be using clothing as a cry for help. Would someone please buy this girl a DVD of "Now Voyager", so that she can learn the importance of a good hair cut and a well-cut dress?

What Lady Gaga does is pure poetry so she can get away with her terrible, eye-burningly appalling fashion choices.

Oh, hand on, WAIT a second. I MEANT to say that it's total crap and she should get over herself. My mistake.

Ok, question (and sorry if this has already been asked)- but is KJP wearing a sheer pirate shirt/jumpshort dealie in that last picture? That's a VERY strong play for fug queen if you ask me...

Lady Gaga is all gaga and shit yeah but she doesn't hold a fugging candle to MKO. Mary Kate is just fucking retarded. It just hits you in the eye. It's CRISP and sweet and TANGY like the first bite of a key lime pie. THe pic of her in the mink coat and the black tights. She's insane! And you really believe that she doesn't THINK that she's insane and to me that is what fug is all about. Maybe MK IS completely conscious of what she is doing, but she makes it LOOK like she doesn't even give her duds a second thought, and to me, THAT is what true fuggery is about. I think she is the unhearalded heroine of GFY and not only should she win the competition, but she needs her own blogsite. Maybe I will start it.

I want to see GaGa end up in the finals, facing SWINTON. And be obliterated. It would so succinctly summarize her over-wrought, inferior fug when faced with the effortless, suave madness of a SWINTON wardrobe.

The Price-Abdul vote was the hardest one for me so far. I voted about five minutes ago and I don't remember which one I voted for.

I had to go for MK on this one. Lady Gaga does that as her schtick, whereas MK seems to think she's quite fashion-forward. Also went for Jordan, because I hate her.

Ugh, I don't want to provide Lady Gaga with anymore attention or spotlight, though I think she's Uber Fug. The whole thing just makes me want to eat chocolate chip cookies and wear three pairs of pants.

After I'd staunched the blood flow from my eyes, the result of an unfortunate unexpected encounter with TWO pantsless Lady G. photos, I decided M-K O is actually way more fug. Agree with everyone who points out that Lady Gaga is pantsless purely for publicity, whereas M-K is pantless and legging-ified because she thinks people will swoon over her fashion-forwardness. Also, M-K seriously needs to eat a sandwich or eight. Sandwich aversion is fug in its own right.

...sorry, my mistake, M-K is wearing TIGHTS not leggings. Either way, pantsless.

And Paula vs. K"J"P was tough. My brain overheated during the decision-making process and is still smoking due to second-thought-overload. Was Paula the right choice?? Because K"J" seems like she has the way colder, more calculating, narcisisstic personality, and a narcissistic personality has got to be one of the fuglier accessories a girl can wear.

As much as I think she's fugtastic, I would LOVE to find Lady Gaga's shade of lilac-y lipstick and use it in my grand scheme to fake my own death. Or to disguise myself as "one of them" during the impending zombie invasion. Or, you know, just for kicks.

Yes, MK looks like a bag lady, but she is at least a CLOTHED bag lady. Honestly, who would frighten you more in a dark alley: skinny multi-layered homeless granny girl, or giant-hair-bowed pantless chick?

And am I mistaken or is that CASH MONEY sticking out of Katie Price's UNDERWEAR?

Uck. Guess you gotta bank where you're able.

legit, gaga could take the whole thing if she tries REAL hard

La GaGa is wearing control top hose. call me crazy, but is that not more fugly than any costume she dons? however, I went with my personal rule of voting for the non-costumed fug offender, in this case an Olsen twin. (I pride myself in not being able to differentiate them!) GO OLSEN!

Ok, I'm coming out of the closet: I LOVE Lady Gaga. I love her wackadoo outfits. She's utterly insane. Also, she has a few #1 songs so she's certainly got more credibility as a contender than, say, Speidi, other Hills people, or even Lily Allen.

I don't think she wears these things as costumes--I think she always dresses like this, and she also happens to always be in costume. Word is she has dressed like this for many years, and it just so happens that hers is the wardrobe of the alien princess from Planet Glitter.

I agree completely that MKO is fug. However, as someone said in another thread, Lady Gaga owns the fug, but the fug owns MK. In fact, the fug is usually trying to drown or smother her. I agree that the pretense of her writing books about her style influences is disgusting and deserves a fug madness smackdown, but... it's Lady Gaga! I can't help it. Who knew that Delft thing existed? What WORDS does it say??? I WANT TO SEE MORE!

These match-ups were tough! I spent most of my energy deciding between MK & Lady Gaga. But, I'm sorry, no pants. No. Pants. It wins. Especially because I secretly love the Curious George shades. I admit this secret freely because there's no way to revoke my voting privileges. Ha! The Price/Paula match-up was easier for me. Definitely Price.

I will admit, I don't know from Gaga and Price, except for this fugsite. And I can never tell which Olsen twin is which, but I feel bad for both poor lil rich girls. But if you want Martian princess, that pic of Paula in the fishtail gown with her hair trying to reach gawd, well, jackpot -- glazed eyes thrown in for free. So Paula and MKO this round for me.

yikes- my first inclination was to go w/Lady GaGa but then thought maybe the pantless look is part of her act. Mary Kate on the other hand is being her true fugtastic self when she wears towering platforms, leggings/tights and a CROPPED fur jacket- CRAZEEE!!!

And c'mon, who is this Katie Price chick? Paula Abdul has been keeping it fuggy before that gal was out of grammar school. Paula is classic fug.

Paula is CLASSIC. Her Fug must always reign supreme!

Gaga does it for the whole pop production package; her signature in public is huge bows and no pants. While that is fugly, it's also part of her act. MK just can't seem to dress herself.

I don't know if I can do this any longer. It is just too hard.... is there really someone in this poll who is not a major fugger?
To make things worse: there are different types of the fuggers

The slutty fugs, the haute couture fugs, the tastless fugs, the drug enhanced fugs, the costume fugs, the wannabe-fugs... so hard to compare.

OMG Lady Gaga is wearing CONTROL TOP pantyhose y'all! With Bedazzled panties! She has ruined my bracket, darn her. Darn her to HECK.

I actually think MK's outift is kind of almost awesome...nearly.

That bracket picture of Bjork makes me so happy.

I'm not going to lie, I kind of think that Lady Gaga is brilliant in that what she wears is so very much a persona. If she were to dress like a normal human being no one could recognize her. Therefore, she might be able to make a midnight grocery run in peace. And I think that since it's really just all part of the act, I voted for MKO - there's really no reason behind her craziness.

If there is a Fug god, call her Fuggata, then there will be a tie between Gaga and MK. This is just to hard to call! Either one would wear the Fug Maddness crown with pride, granny gear and industrial strength hosiery. Please, goddess Fuggata, give us a tie!

PAULA! How could you do this to me? I am hoping for a late surge... You cannot lose to a woman who has to dress like a lunatic to feed and shelter herself - you used to have a real career. I still enjoy "Cold Hearted Snake," I'm not going to front.

Man up, Abdul!

Was Mary Kate guest starring on My Name is Earl last week or was that really Betty White? Regardless, I'm pretty sure those are the same glasses.

How pleased does Paula look wearing...a 4th of July marching band uniform on speedballs? I love her. I hope someday I get to have a glass of wine with her, or at least within 10 feet of her so I can easily eavesdrop on what I assume would be delightful, nonsensical babble.

BAN LADY GAGA! She's like Katie Perry - tries so hard to get noticed, and be "out there." Give me a break. We won't even remember her in 6 months...

I'm sorry, I love them to death, but the Olsens are a breed apart in terms of fug. MK here dresses like she's living in the penthouse suite at the Ritz, smoking Chesterfields and crank-calling Winston Churchill. I LOVE THAT.

Ga, on the other hand, just looks like what she is: pantsless, desperate, and distinctly flavor-of-the-month.

does it really count as fug if they're trying to look ridiculous? I think Mary Kate is actually trying to look good while Lady GaGa is just trying to be weird. That's not true fug, that's just advertising.

Oy... Gaga vs. Olsen was tough, but I think that pottery pattern put me over the edge!

MK over Lady Gaga for two reasons: 1) MK is like, a fashion "visionary" and has her own fashion coffee table book, yet seems only to be influenced by Mugatu's Derelicte; 2) Lady Gaga's getups are costumes. 24-hour a day costumes, shameless self-promoting costumes, but costumes nonetheless.

Oh, sure. Katie is looking horrendous, but it all seems to be part of an audaciously stripper-iffic publicity gag.

Paula, on the other hand, just doesn't appear to know any better.

Paula it must be, on grounds of her tragic lack of a functioning fugdar.

Ok, so I stared at MKO and LGaga for a long time before figuring out who gets my vote. It all comes down to "Pokerface." At least Gaga, in her short career, has managed to sell me something I enjoyed for five minutes or so (and by "sell" I mean, uh, created so that it could be illegally downloaded weeks before its actual release). Not so with MK, who seems to do nothing but wander around NYC/LA with a coffee in her hand.

And Paula is so Paula, but she's also smart enough to get out of the declining American Idol before anyone else, so hats off.

Mary Kate and Paula............

Because the other two, GaGa and that Price chick are just into costumes.

Mary Kate and Paula are actually trying to wear clothes. I do think however Mary Kate is trying to look as bad as possible... and, doing a slendid job at it. But, poor ol' Paula is trying to look as good as possible. Both efforts result in the same fugness.

had to vote gaga due to the aforementioned "control-top" aspect of her hose. just as reinforced toes should not peek out of open-toe shoes, reinforced thighs and butts should not peek out of...well undies i guess. or anything.

Lady Gaga, but because I am trying to apply the consistent logic of, yeah, chosen and extraordinary FUG, not just can't figure out clothing... which it strikes me is MKO's problem. Clothing is supposed to fit well (is sized?) and not create a droop? NOT be made of dead animals--and I mean frowsy hides of poorly taxidermied foxes and squirrels? NOT be sad and depressing and stretched out and pilling and ridiculous (especially given my pots and pots of money... which could mean hiring a damn stylist!)? NOT make me look as if I am in "The Bag Lady Players present GREY GARDENS, The Musical"?

And I gotta love Paula. She's been playing FUG since the 80s, while Katie is a newcomer/short-timer. No pants? sheer pants? boob poppage? Easy outs. But choosing the Michael Jackson sans glove homage... 20 years late? That's FUG.

I voted for MKO because, although she wears pants more often than Lady Gaga, she has actually inspired trends. There are actually plenty of people who have emulated her slouchy, octogenarian-in-leggings-with-giant-bug-eyed-sunglasses look. She's therefore more of a threat to the general tastefulness than Lady Gaga, whom no one would emulate, except strippers on crack.

wait... when did we start being able to leave comments??!?!?!?!?

Paula! Snap out of it!! I have you at Final Four! Uncross your eyes and get back in the game!!

OMG, I bought those sunglasses as filler for my loot bags for my 3 year old's birthday party. She's 3...it's acceptable! M-K, though, is waaaay too old for that shit.

Did Lady Gaga watch an Australian episode of Kath and Kim and go..yeah Kath is a role model for good styling with her permed hair and control top pantyhose poking out of her leotard?? And the bow.. it looks like a pillow case so much it made me laugh..

and I think that Mary Kate is just waiting till she grows into her clothes.. she looks like she is playing dress ups still.. but she is kind of cute so Gaga wins for me....

Gaga is rocking the ridiculous, while MK is being serious. She actually thinks that's high fashion people!!!

M-KO is more fug and less performer. I know that Gaga is just that, but she is in costume to some degree. I'd put the same distinction between Jordan and Paula...
Maybe we need a zany or performance bracket next time?

Having to choose between Katie Price and Paula Abdul was the hardest decision I've ever had to take. They are both so insane.

I went with Katie Price, she looks way too proud of her insane outfits.

Ouch, I'm on the losing end of both of these. I voted for MK and Paula. While Lady Gaga and Jordan are remarkably fugly, I think the sincerity of MK and Paula's respective fuglinesses, the result of honest attempts at dressing well, trump the purposeful hideousness of those doing it for the publicity. It's about the intent behind the fug, y'all...the intent!

When I first saw the music video for "Just Dance," I commented that that girl was so weird she must be European. After all, no self-respecting North American singer would paint sparkly lightening on their face. Then I saw "Poker Face" and saw Lady Gaga lying there in her vinyl unitard with that Great Dane and though to myself, 'she's so bizarre she must be Scandanavian.' So I checked wikipedia and learned that she was, in fact from New York, and therefore has no business wearing the clothes that she wears.

I understand that I'm making a sweeping generalization about the fashion choices of Scandanavians, on the other hand, it kind of gives permission to wear the supremely bizarre and get away with it.

People! Put some pants on! Please!

And no! Leggings are NOT pants!

Gotta be GaGa. I love that there seems to be the idea of her horrible and desperate outfits being costumes and she probably slips on jeans to go to the shops or something. I doubt it somehow! That woman screams deluded fame whore and I've absolutely no doubt in my mind she stopped going anywhere that required manual work 5 seconds after her first single broke.

She is fugly of soul as well as outfit and therefore must go on. At least MKO seems like she's not such a bad person.

People have started calling Lady Gaga a fashion icon. This is not OK.

I can't believe that Gaga won over MK! That picture of MK looking like an insane rich old woman who chooses to live on the streets wearing furs, no pants and crazy shoes - NOTHING can beat that!

This round was nearly impossible. After serious consideration I just had to choose Gaga. The first time I ever heard about her it was reading a short bio about how she used to meet her babysitters completely nekked. She may be an attention whore, but girl is nuts in that cracked out way Katie Perry only wishes she could reach. The exposed control top thighs put me over the top. After all, there's wearing a costume, and then there's insisting almost all your costumes are pants free and pairing your bathing suit bottom/undies with the world's cheapest girdle. The Price/Abdul match-up seemed so easy at first. Who could possibly out fug Abdul? And, I do have to say that her cracked out inability to form coherent sentences and her glassy stare actually do fit the bill for an insomniac, so I feel like she really does know what she's putting on her body. Which only makes me love her more. However, after clicking through Katie "Jordan" Price's archives I had to choose her. While she has the same tacky sensibility as Abdul, she lacks the lovable wackiness that makes me want to hug Paula and take her around town telling everyone she's my aunt. Also, that mermaid outfit.

okay, so i sort of like MK and SOMETIMES even like what she wears, and i often times like at least one piece she's wearing, while Lady Gaga? - not so much. I gave Gaga the win for all-over body consistency.

Katie vs. Paula was a harder choice. I gave it to Paula because I feel like, by now, she should know what she's doing. Also, it seems like she tries and fails, which i deem true fuggery. she probably also has a stylist. someday, there should be a fugging of the stylists that choose these outfits.

OK, does it freak the crap out of anyone else that Mary Kate Olsen is rich??

She looks homeless and crazy.

Prostitutes in my small WV town also seem to prefer the pantyhose-panty-on-the-outside combo. As they are not normally fashion forward and I doubt they have regular access to this site, I can only assume perhaps Ms. Gaga is imitating them.

This is getting tough... Paula Abdul is just nuts, whereas Phoebe is just crazy... er, I mean Phoebe is dying for attention, but Paula... well... can I vote twice? It's a tie!!!

Does anyone remember the scary story from middle school about the girl who wore a ribbon around her neck because it kept her head on? Anyone reminded of Paula Abdul?

I completely understand people's arguments about MK deserving the vote more than Gaga, but I find it hard to vote that way, in the end- I just keep thinking "would I wear ANYTHING this person has on?" And yeah, occasionally MK wears something that I would wear and, no, Gaga never does. Then again, I had to vote for Whitney Port because it always strikes me as INSANE how much thought and energy she probably puts into her "looks", and how consistently bad they are. That probably *is the definition of genuine fug, huh?

I am unashamed to say I will continue to vote for K. "Jordan" Price based on the strength of that pic of her with the horse. That is a whole 'nother level of hideous outfit when it scares animals.

Mary-Kate over Lady Gaga: Yes, I know Gaga has that margin over Olsen right now...and I certainly notice that she has this issue with...like, pants, and wearing them, but she's relatively new to the limelight, isn't she? Whereas Mary-Kate has been fugging up our computer screens since she was six months old. It boggles my mind that a nubile 22 year old will voluntarily make herself appear to be 90. That sparkly gold...thing she had on could've belonged to my grandmother to wear to the Bingo Hodown at the senior center.

Paula over Jordan: THis one was tougher, because they're both certifably insane. But what it all came down to for me was, are they insane period or just insane when a camera is around to capture them in all of their lunacy? The latter is probably the case with Jordan. Yes, she does dress like a twelve year old girl, or an insane stripper, or a peacock prostitute regularly but I'm willing to bet that has to do with the photogs than anything else. Paula, on the other hand, probably dresses like a Revolutionary War era lion tamer just to go to the grocery store.

This line about Paula? "Why are you, at this point in your career, still kind of hopeless?" FLOORED me. Thank you. *wipes away a tear of laughter* I'm gonna try to work that into conversation somehow.

Complaints on Each Person; 1.The Olsens; they really do wound my soul. They were so cute in Full House, and then in those little detective books and their shows.... but something awful happened. They're gaunt, scary, badly dressed party girls. Curious George sunglasses? Really Mary-Kate? Where does one find these? 2.Lady Gaga; she has such great hair and such a cute little face but she has no SHAME. She kinda has a right because she's a show performer but being pantless in public crosses my OK For Famous People line. Which is not a fragile line, let me tell you right now. 3.Paula Abdul; my mother said something in the car about a week ago that absolutely sent me into a 15 minute relentless cackling fit; she said she was just waiting for Paula's human skin to just peel off one night on American Idol to reveal her alien self and she would slither across the stage on her slimy tentacles and gobble up a couple of the contestants. She predicted alien Paula would eat Jorge, and the next episode he was gone. Scary, huh? 4.Katie "Jordan" Price; I have to say I don't know who this is. Don't hate me, readers. I just don't..... OK my complaints are over.

Please people - don't be blinding by the retina-searing flesh of the Gaga and the Jordan. MK and Paula are CONTENDERS!

Olsens Fug Supreme.

What?! How did Paula not pull this one out?

Am I the ONLY one who LOVES Lady GaGa?!
She's rediculous- her whole album is completely about fame (and how ridiculous, transient and accessible it is) and her whole thing is IRONY!
(it's actually very intellectual on some weird level, and she can actually sing so...)
and they are costumes, but they are still fuglier than MK's so...

Both Katie and Paula seem to be equally inebrated at most times...but Katie is plain trashy, so I HAD to go with her.

Methinks we all seriously underestimated the power of Katie's FUG. Altho I highly doubt she can beat GaGa's plastic bubble outfit. You do have a picture of her hideous bubble outfit, right?

I love Lady Gaga, and I had to vote for her because I look FORWARD to her Fug delights.

HOWEVER I totally think you set her up with that photo sampling. They're glorious, but you got some rather tame Mary-Kates is all I'm saying.


...and I had to vote for Paula on the same basis, and I'm sad she's losing.

Now that it appears Lady Gaga has sealed the victory, I'd like to explain something. I am very persuaded by the general philosophy that MKO just goes around like that every day, thinking that she looks terrific and fashion forward and is a style icon. Crazy, right? However, Lady Gaga ALSO goes around looking like that every day, thinking that she looks terrific and fashion forward and is a style icon. Those who are saying she is merely in costume may be missing the fact that she is never OUT of costume: that's how she always dresses!

omg i cant stop laughing at the picture of paula, it's like she has a toupe over a bad wig over her head full of hair wtf!! ahahaha...

I just want to say that i'm from Australia and its DAME Edna not AUNT Edna (as i assume that's who you're talking about).

And Lady GaGa all the way.

I don't care that MK looks like a starving child, I LOVE her.

LOVE THE GLASSES MK. And AT LEAST Paula Abdul covers her private parts. Unlike someone.

Not to be mean or anything, but those pants Lady Gaga is wearing would even be outlawed in a Delft tile-factory!

OLSEN V GAGA

Gaga isn't fug just desperately try-hard, with a gimmick which seemed passe when Madonna did it 20 years ago YAWN

Sometimes I think MKO dresses as she does to avoid mugging, she very recognisable and known to be filthy rich - when she dresses like a Hobo (or in this case like the crazy old "Baby-Janeish" lady I used to do home care for) prospective muggers may pass her by??

PRICE V ABDUL

I voted for Jordan because she'd LOVE it and secretly I kinda love her

It has to be Ga-Ga. She puts in some effort. MK just rolled out of bed and over the Happy Meal Ashley left for her the night before - conveniently smushing her face into the glasses that came as the toy...

As for Katie - she named her daughter Princess Tiami. The wack goes too deep to be toppled by a mere Abdul!

Katie-Jordan-what's-her-face dresses appallingly, but she's sort of one-note. Now, Paula Abdul's fug, unlike her singing voice, is deep, complex and varied like a fine wine.

TOTALLY, Samantha- Gaga is Martian Barbie- while weird and misguided, she is trying to be a character.

The Olsen on the other hand is just doing her normal thing, going to buy coffee and more cigarettes and having her daily meal of a single Tic-Tac in the weirdest of fugged up fuggeries. Somebody stop this woman from starting trends of being hunched over and deathly skinny and unwashed and wearing fur on top of 7 inch platforms. Erf!

Olsen! Olsen! Olsen!

"Lady" Gaga wore bikini bottoms over support hose and there is a question about whose Fug reigns supreme?

The Olsen Twins together cannot match that for sheer awfulness.

GAGA: FTW

Katie Price is a tall, spray tanned, crotchtastic plastic cup of tea. Poor Paula can't compete with that kind of calculated crazy - Paula is actually trying.

PRICE: FTW

Respectfully submitted,
-Magno

Did anyone notice how Gaga's pantyhose were CONTROL TOP!? That was the decider for me.
