Fug Madness 2009, Sweet Sixteen continued: Charo bracket

This one was hard.

Shouldn't this be weighted to reflect that Agyness is a "model" (ish) and therefore should know better???

What a way to end the week! I think I have to go with Agyness though, Katie Perry does it all for the attention, Model Agyness actually thinks she's a trend setter.

Is it wrong that I voted for Agyness simply because I no longer want to see pictures of Katy Perry? Also, I hate the way they spell their names.

Katy! If only for the reason that her music is like an insanely fuggly outfit. You know that it is inherently bad but you can't stop listening to it (or looking at it).

That was hard, but Agyness's giant collar on the bottom pic did it for me. Katy's usually wearing a costume, albeit fugly costumes, but Agyness seems to dress this way for "pleasure."

What a way to end the week! I think I have to go with Agyness though, Katie Perry does it all for the attention, Model Agyness actually thinks she's a trend setter.

This should've been the championship match-up! It was hard to choose between these two. I'm surprised it's not a closer match.

I know I may be a solo voice on this - but I sorta like some of Deyn's outfits. However, that polka dot atrocity is enough to negate any positive interest I may have had in her other choices.

That being siad, though, there still is a bit of... ingenuity? Cleverness? In her outfits, whereas Perry's superhcharged rockabilly look is a little worn.

Gosh... hard decision.

i have no clue who agyness "is" ... but her fug reigns supreme. someone get rid of this girl. fast.

This WAS hard--but Aggggyyyyyyneeesssssss slightly edged out KP because her outfits are her REGULAR CLOTHING whereas KP is just a show-off stage act. Genuine fug beats staged-fug for me everytime. Which is why I ultimately also voted Mischa Barton

Ick Ack and Holy Cow!! This one was hard, both clearly seem to have left the deep end and headed into an oceanic trench some where.

Why do I get the feeling that both of these fugsters are checking this site on the hour to see if they are still contenders? It's like they LIVE to be fugly.
I cast my vote for Deyn.
She out fugs KP ten to one.

I agree, this WAS hard, but I had to go with Agnyess, because as a fashion model, she should know better!

Agyness Deyn should NEVER wear open-toed shoes. My God. The horror of that toe.

However, we're not fugging feet here --after all, they practically fug themselves-- so it's the far-more-fugulent Katy P for the win! (or loss?)

agyness falls into the wacky category where as katy is a prime example of bad taste. the first is going for the out there look and the latter is trying to look good.

i usually vote against the person who is trying to look good and failing because i don't think that is the true spirit of fug. besides. agyness is really cute. and my college roommate had that exact same cramps tee-shirt. you know, back in the day. so i am biased.

So Agy is a model and should have absorbed some fashion sense through osmosis while walking the runway...oh wait...maybe she did given all the absurd things one sees on the catwalk...she's fug...but no one beats boob eye dresses and grade 6 rulers worn wrapped in fabric as a belt...oh Katy you could attempt CUTE pin up style no? Katy gets my vote hands down

They're both awful and though Katy Perry isn't a model, she has said that she thinks she's liberating people by exposing the world to her personal style. My vote's for her.

Oh, the humanity. What was that. I thought Agy would be an easy pick because Perry is so, so fuggly twee with her little faux pinup costumes. But then she puts on pants and...MY EYES, MY EYES, IT BURNS, MAKE IT STOP.
Damn.
However, I still went with Agy because her fug is consistent and not for show - IT IS REAL. This was truly a close contest.

The best thing about Fug Madness is even when my horse loses I still feel the win.

See, I think Agyness gets a pass because she's in high fashion. She wouldn't know how to dress normally if you personally escorted her through Banana Republic.

Heavens. Sometimes I wonder if the Fug Girls ever like anything, and then you sear my eyes with these monstrosities, although the commentary is definitely worth a little vision damage.

I had to close my eyes and throw the mouse at the screen. Toss up on this one.

After seeing Agyness emerging from a car looking like Heat Miser's daughter on her way to the senior prom at Brimstone High, I was all set to vote.

Set, that is, until the cornea searing anguish that was Katy Perry's lava lamp leopard spandex pants assaulted me. Those things should be upstate for assault and battery for the next fifteen years. Oh Baby Thumping Jesus, were they hideous. Put a few lights on those suckers and you have Mister Mistofelles in the middle of a really bad acid trip.

Katy Perry just upped her Fug Game BIG time.

In that first picture, Agnes looks like the Freezemeister or whatever his name was from Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer.

It's a King Solomon kind of choice. My vote is to slice them both in half. Or at least their wardrobes.

If they were both in the same room at the same time and caught each other's eye, I think the universe might implode.

i had decided until i saw the two side by side. in the end, Agyness takes the win because she should know better.

Okay, call me crazy, but I sort of dig the electrocuted princess look.

Agyness .. for the sheer fact of that DRESS! Katy pulled of the pink dress way more than dear agy

Agy sometimes goes way off the deep end, but most of the time, if she followed that rule about looking in the mirror and taking one thing off, she'd basically be fine. Katy Perry is completely whacked out. There is no help for any of it. The winner here has got to be Katy.

Katy Perry, because I love the Pin-Up girls whole-heartedly, and she's just being straight-up disrespectful! Also, I have a bit of a girl crush on Agn...Agy... the blond one.

I had to vote Katy, because she's clearly channeling Simon LeBon in the leopard-print trousers picture.

Tough decisions for a Friday! But the pink dress and fur coat swayed me.

The boob-eyes dress settled it for me: Katy all the way.

Katy Perry because her face is gross.

Agyness' face has a certain charm.. I can't vote it down!

Wow. Just...wow. They are both equally crazy so it is really hard to choose between them! I think I have to go with Kay only because she is way more ubiquitous (and ubiquitously ANNOYING) than Agyness. Plus, I really hate her pink lipstick. And, the eye dress still give me the heebie jeebies. And, the pink pants above make LiLo's leggings look completely normal and fashion forward.

Agyness is kind of like Mischa Barton the lesser (i.e. hipster/thinks she is a trendsetter) so I have to say better luck next year kid. Now that we know who you are I think you might be able to crush the competition next time!

Katy FTW!!!

Oh man, there are no winners here. Such tough match-ups this year!! My personal distaste for Katy Perry tips the scales - I condemn her with my vote of fugness.

Heat Miser at the prom almost had me.

Then came the neon pink leopard spandex. That isn't polterwang. That woman's ass is *on backwards*.

That kind of innate fug cannot be ignored.

Unfortunately.

And because I still can't figure out what the crap that horizontal thing is on that last dress.

I'm with Mandy.... I kind of love the first AD photo....despite the electrocuted hair, I feel love for the punky princess look.

I'm biased towards Deyn in general because she's cute, and does seem to WORK it. I like her eclectica!

KP just picks things that fit poorly and sear the sight; Deyn's outfits do sort of have a theme, and are often in NON-neon colours.

This is random- but AD rather reminds me of Haley Joel Osment. It's the eyes.

I couldn't make up my mind until my memory was refreshed about the fabric ruler "belt." That clinched it.

Also, KP's makeup is fug and that has to count for something. The pepto pink lips are horrifying.

I feel Agyness has a gorge face that is surrounded by fug. KP is fug straight to the freakin' core.

Katy all the way. If for nothing else, but that she looks JUST ENOUGH like Zooey Deschanel to make do a double-take every time I see her.

And Zooey deserves better.

or does she remind me of Macauley Culkin in Home Alone?

CRAP.

And I agree with the person above who liked Agy's electrified princess look-compared to her other stuff I thought it was pretty cute =)

The polka dot thing still sucks though.

Is it just me or does Agyness look like a boy no matter what she is wearing? Other than that they are both ridiculous. Tough choices today.

I voted for Katy, as Agyness is just extremely fashion forward. I am convinced that one day, we'll all be looking like a rich-to-poor woman.

I'm just hoping that whatever Katy Perry is wearing as not ever becoming fashion. If I'd wear these leggings... Well, let's not even go there.

I had to vote for Agyness, due soley to the fact that I have the same shoes as KP that she is wearing with her leopard outfit. I love those shoes, and couldn't bare to vote for anyone with the good sense to wear them too!

La Perry got my vote - those damp spots (I pray she spilled a drink rather than the obvious) on the pink leopard print catsuit did it for me. Agyness isn't far behind though!

"I'm biased towards Deyn in general because she's cute, and does seem to WORK it. I like her eclectica!"

i'm right there with you. i actually kind of like aggy, but la perry makes me want to vomit. may her fug reign supreme!

I had to go Perry. Crazy, but fun. Deyn's choices appear to be based on a desire to be as ugly as possible.

tough, so tough. I look forward to seeing less of Katy. Agnes is a more benign version of Posh - since she is naturally pretty - since Posh is out of the competition, let me go with Agnes.

This is becoming more of an existential question for me... is one more fugly when she is clueless but thinks she's edgy and cool, or when she's joyfully crazy? And does stage wear really count?

In the former category, we have your Courtney Loves, your Agyness Deyns, and whom have you, and in the latter, you have SWINTON, Juliette Lewis, et al. Is it fair to compare "sad and ... oh, honey, no" to "COMPLETELY AWESOME" in spirit? These questions keep me up at night.

Further, if you root for awesome crazy in one bracket, do you have to be consistent, or can you vote for "sweet baby J, someone HELP HER" in the next? SO MANY QUESTIONS. And I should really be working!

With that, I bid you adieu... It was Katy for me - CRAZY AWESOME FOREVER! (plus, I think if you wear it on stage, it might not count as much? I'm not sure...)

Mandy re: electrocuted princess look. *looks behind her shoulder to see if anyone else is in hearing range, whispers* I do too.

That picture of "fancy" Agyness made me crack up. WOW. Just ... WOW.

Challenging, indeed. But Katy seems to have this awareness that she's a flash in the pan and Agyness looks smug and proud, like "Oh yeah. Get used to THIS."

That bugs me.

So, Agy got my vote. Also, ditto to the poster who hated the way she spells her name. It bugs me, too - why all the superfluous consonants?

Heavens. Sometimes I wonder if the Fug Girls ever like anything, and then you sear my eyes with these monstrosities, although the commentary is definitely worth a little vision damage.

I had to close my eyes and throw the mouse at the screen. Toss up on this one.

This one was super hard. Agyness looks like she's channeling my best friend from junior high school, circa 1983. Odd and extremely fug, but not horribly offensive. But Katy is both fug and LOOK AT ME, which is terribly offensive. She's bordering on Phoebe Price land.

i am particularly peeved at katy perry because she is a complete knock-off of my favorite lady around, miss zooey deschanel. zooey is going around town looking like a classy lady, while katy took her look and cranked up the skank with a overdose of tacky.

I kind of hate both of them with a fiery passion. I really don't know how to choose. :/

Katy WANTS the attention. So I believe that she personally bedazzles her clothes with whatever the Sanrio Store puts in the bin each night.

But Agyness...no she thinks that Fur + shiny + Flowbee hair = fashion. And THAT is why she Fugs supreme.

Agyness is a model and therefore gets a pass for wearing wacky outfits, at least while she's an "it" girl.
Katy, on the other hand....those zebra pants are making my eyes bleed. And the pink ones make her look like her ass is on the front of her body.

What a tough choice! Agy in the riches-to-rags homeless lady outfit almost got me, but then Katy in the pink leopard print leggings? jumpsuit? catsuit? (yikes!)took it over the top.

Hmmmm.... this is really hard. I know nothing about either of them except that they wear some seriously fugly clothes. I'm torn. Katy is just...weird...I guess? While Agyness appears to be decadeanoly challenged.

what to do, what to do......

It was a tough trial. Until I saw those pink leopard print "pants." Wish I had a camera to capture the "blargh" look on my face when I caught sight of those bad boys. For heavens sakes, it's lunch time over here, and now I have literally no appetite! Perry ftw.

although they are both Walking Fugs, I'll take Ag's vintage fuosity over Katy's hideous newly purchased threads. BTW, when is "I Kissed a Girl" going to stop being such a wanna be naughty novelty so that katy can GO AWAY!

I had to vote KP because she seems gross, clueless and tasteless. AD actually looks like she dresses to please herself, even if the result is rather horrific. Sincerity is never as fug, in my book.

See, I LIKE punk tutus, Converse, vintage satin etc--the girly worn in concert with the boyish--and I think Agynes is not fug. (Except for the polka dot thing, it is un-love-worthy. And the fur coat, which is just mean.)

I like the pin-up deal, too, and those shoes Katy's wearing with her pink leopard spandex are super cute. I even think she carries off that look pretty much--young, skinny, and pretty can get away with whimsical and retro-kooky.

But holy mother, that zebra-striped monstrosity uncharms me mightily. Do not want. Cannot haz cheezburger. LOSE. Yet win! Fug points, that is.

This was the hardest one yet. I finally went with Katy because everything about her annoys me. Agy seems like she'd be fun to hang out with in a pub.

This one was difficult. I mostly voted for Agyness because I want to pretend Katy Perry does not exist. I wish she would go away. But still, some people still consider AgDey fashion forward and that is not okay. I also secretly enjoy looking at pictures of her wack outfits. She is of the same breed as the Sev.

Agyness is quirky & occasionally cute, although certainly there are missteps. Katy Perry makes me feel kinda gross, even though I'm not the one dressed that way.

Agyness seems to somehow pull off some of her outfits. She wears her clothes...whereas with Katy the clothes seem to wear her. Or maybe I just want to think that to give her the benefit of the doubt that she's not as fugly on the inside as she wants to appear on the outside.

Agyness might look crazy but she still looks cool and fun. Katy Perry seems like someone I'd want to punch after five minutes.

He clothes seem contrived and like she's trying to be funny and different (see: Sarah Silverman, who I voted for over Joaquin Phoenix's beard), whereas Agyness just looks like she's having a good time.

Erica, I have exactly the same mindblowing problem. I've been going crazy over a lot of match-ups this year because I could simply not decide if I should go with the "oh honey, just NO!" or the "AWESOME" party. This year we have a lot of contenders dressing up ONLY for attention and some dressing up crazy. Last year Bai had it all, dressing up for attention, dressing up simply crazy, crazy awesome, she simply delivered. That's the reason why she deservingly won last year.
This years just so tough!!!
However this match is easy to me. Katy Perry just doesn't know what she is doing. She once said that she likes it when she is on a "worst dressed" list and doesn't care what people think. She is aware that she is fug. Albeit that is a sin, the sin Agyness Deyn commits is superior to Perrys sin. She thinks she is fashion forward and uber trendy but she simply isn't. Sometimes I even tend to think she might be blind. Thinking you are and it-girl when you simply aren't is the ultimate sin for me and therefore goes my vote for Uglyness (see what I did there)
Unfortunatly a lot of people vote for Katy just because they hate her and her overexposure. But honestly who could blame them?

Okay, this was the hardest pick so far. Had to go with Perry because I have a visceral reaction to the mere mention of her name. Don't get me started with pictures of the lame-ass fame whore. Deyn is quirky and ridiculous looking, but she doesn't irritate me to my core like Perry does.

Sorry A hot pink leopard print wins everytime!

this was the hardest match-up yet for me. I have strong (negative) feelings about both of these jokers. but katy perry seems to do it for attention and it's mostly costume-y... aggy on the other hand seems to truly believe she is fashionable which is a more heinous offense in my book. blah.

Oof. This one is a toughie, but I have to go with Aggy because of the fur. It's just repulsive. I also agree with the notion that she should know better. Methinks she is trying too hard and the result is an epic FAIL.

This was a tough one. . .

. . .until I got to the pink animal-print Spandex unitard.

Katy Perry FTW.

Here's my voting problem: some fug I love to the point that it's not even fug anymore (SWINTON!) whereas some people are just FUG and I want to vote for them because I can't stand even looking at them and their fugliness. But wait! If I don't want to look at them, I shouldn't vote for them, even if they are they are more deserving...

Sorry, Ms. Deyn, but in this case, the fug wins. Do I want to see Katy Perry ever again (in this competition or otherwise)? No. But her fug is never quirky or cute, it's just FUG.

Had to vote for Perry as she really believes she is making a contribution to fashion.
If we don't accept her forced kookie-wookie, we're "closed minded" and "unaware". Plus, Perez pushes Katy...not only does she lack fashion sense, she lacks common sense. Boo Katy...she's using her FUG to get attention from us! I say "YOU GET NO MORE LOVE FROM ME, KATY!" ooh, maybe she'll print that and wear it on a top :D

I was all Aggy all the way as, echoing above sentiments, she should know better. But the pink spandex leopard print actually caused physical pain as I recoiled backwards away from the screen in my work rolly chair and banged my knees into the desk. Thus, Katy Perry FTW.

The pink leopard put this one over the top for me, FUG.

NO WAY Agnes is losing. She is a model with access to the most beautiful clothes in the world and LOOK at how she dresses. C'mon people!

BTW, I don't think Aggy being a fashion model should know better...she's dressed by people with fashion sense. Models are the poles on which hangs the clothes.

Intern George, where ARE you with the commenters' restorative martini tray? Surely we're not expected to answer grueling examinations such as Perry v. Aggy sans libation?

PLEASE people - vote for Agy!!! At least Katy's can be considered 'costumey', but Agy's fug is truly, truly heinous!!!! She's a model...she gets dressed by designers FOR A LIVING.....she can't pick up a FEW tips now and again???? Ugh...fug.

Somehow I don't think Katy Perry dresses that way when she's, say, running out for a gallon of milk. Or box wine, whatever. But I think AD does. Which to me is fug.

SO HARD. I can't choose.

OMFG. Click on the dressed up picture of ol' Ayg and check out the freaky toes! Her feet are naaaaaaaaaasty - all "fungus-y" and calloused. Revolting.

I had to vote her the Queen of Fug based on the fact that I threw up in my mouth a little when confronted with both her fashion and her disgusting digits.

I agree with Anne. I never want to see Katy Perry again, meaning a vote for Deyn.

I mean those purple acid washed jeans do not say edgy, they proclaim that her Dalorian is parked out back and she is in search of some plutonium for her return trip to 1985. Yes, please, go away.

Good god, that was one optically compromising journey! I know I'm on record here as being supremely annoyed by both of them (where does one get a BOOB-EYE DRESS anyways? And why?). But I had to go with Agonyzingess because she really WORKS at it, and all that layering and feathering and fussing bring her to a level of fugness that Katy can't reach with her absurd get-ups of no value.

Harumph!

This was the absolute hardest one for me! I hate how much credit Agyness gets/got for dressing so "unique" and "edgy," when she puts together these odd crazy outfits, but Katy Perry? She's like a caricature!

I ... I. I don't even know. These mouth breathers make up my personal final two. I can't choose! They're both so incredibly awful.

Agyness dresses like Weetzie Bat.

Oh dear, now having said my piece, and looking at comments, I'm having a slight change of fug heart, and thinking I kinda like some of Ms. Deyn's looks. Yikes!

Oooh, this IS an existential crisis (can't remember who said that, but it's true). Can you fug someone simply on the basis of one outfit or wrong piece - case in point, Deyn, because I like certain parts of her outfits, (NOT the polka dot monstrosity, which is what I'd vote her off for), but I kind of think the pink dress and the sparkly party dress would be cute otherwise. But Katy Perry managed to wear front butt leggings! How is that possible? I had to go with Perry ftw, simply because front butt is WRONG - it just is.

What it comes down to is that Aggy entertains me and Katy annoys me.

i like the way agyness dresses.

i used to think katy perry was kinda kitchy(spl?) and cute but now i want her to go away. and she's dating josh groban? the amazingly talented singer? really?

I still remember the genius that was the "I fugged a girl" blog many months ago... and for that I am going KATY all the way.

I don't know who Agyness is. I do know who Katy Perry is, and I cannot reward that. C'mon, strange blond one!

Oh-h-h-h-h-h!!!!!!!!! It is plain now for all to see in the first picture up there of Agyness... her brains are actually being sucked out by alien forces!!!!!

Or... maybe GOD is trying to actually funnel some brains INTO her head... Now, that is a comforting thought.

Just a few more helpings of common sense, Lord...

Please.

does't agnes look awfully like Jason Lee's character in The Incredibles in that first shot?

Um. So. I would never normally criticize anything I read on this site, ever, because I love it so. Even if I actually think that Katy Perry is secretly fab and shouldn't even be fugged. Same with Gaga. I digress.

I just want to request that the phrase "whiff of the polterwang" never be used again in a description of a spandexy outfit, regardless of how apt? Please? 'Polterwang' is a GREAT word, but the combination is leaving me slightly nauseated.

Katy Perry had me at Pink Leopard Print tight pants!

I thought Agyness was going to stage an upset and steal my vote from Katie for a moment, and then I scrolled down to the pink leopard print thing and saw what looks like... Well, like sweat marks around the top of her thighs.

NO PERRY. NO.

has anyone else noticed that agyness's cirque du soleil outfit is the same thing m.i.a. wore when she performed at the grammys? its so multifaceted!

Kate posted at 1:55 p.m. the followings:

"Katy Perry had me at Pink Leopard Print tight pants!"

Tight pants is too nice a name for those... they are just old, tired leggings.

That Disney princess crack is perfect - even down to the shoes. I swear my 4 year-old daughter's Cinderalla costume and shoes are nearly identical to what Deyn is wearing in that photo, minus the demin jacket that looks like part of Molly Ringwald's wardrobe from Pretty in Pink.

oh how I loathe Katy Perry, with her faux vintage ooooh look at how cute I am..NO REALLY, PAY ATTENTION TO ME, I NEED YOUR VALIDATION, WHY ELSE WOULD I WEAR A DRESS WITH A BUILT IN RULER SLOT, THROUGH WHICH I CAN HANDILY STORE MY MATCHING FABRIC COLORED RULER!?!?!?!

Haaate. She definitely gets my vote, and I look forward to SWINTON mercilessly trouncing all over her in the next round.

Lisa, your comment: "does't agnes look awfully like Jason Lee's character in The Incredibles in that first shot?" TOTALLY SOLVED my memory dilemma today. I could not come up with the hair reference, so thanks for that.

Also, word is now out to Miss Deyn: STAY AWAY FROM CAPES.

Agyness because she has ugly feet. And yes, I know she can't help it because you get the feet you get at birth. And yes, I know voting for her based on that is shallow and hateful. But still. I voted for Agyness because she has ugly feet.

These decisions are getting tougher - it's madness!!

Katy Perry's pink leopard leggings instantly gave me flashbacks to Marissa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny stomping her foot and screaming about her biological clock. Which was fun, but the zebra jumpsuit made me actually gasp in horror.

Agyness got my vote because she has the option to look nice, she just chooses to look fug. Katy Perry on the other hand, is a character, one which is supposed to dress, how to put this tactfully...as she does.

I would totally wear Agy's fancy denim princess outfit. I sort of love it.

Sigh.

Tough match. Clearly, they both fell through the fugly tree and hit every branch. In the end, I went with KP- but both are unworthy to face the likes of the SWINTON.

I surprised myself by voting for Agyness, based mostly on the fond childhood memories elicited by her Heat-Miser-inspired hair:

http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/6613/300pxheatmiser184bf78zm1.jpg

Thanks, Agy!

Someone told me once that you can always take comfort in the fact that all models have ugly feet. Something to do with their shoes being too small during their major growth spurts. And I must admit, I do take great comfort in that, so I cannot blame Agy for her hideous feet. Also, she looks like such a naif. I know, I know, she's a pro, she should know better, but it's easy to see that she sincerely thinks dressing like Madonna in 1986 is chic. And -- guilty admission -- I, too, have always wished I could pull off a punk tulle tutu.

But Katie Perry has terrible style even off the stage. I have to agree that the pink spandex leopard pants take it. Well, them and the polterwang.

No, no, no, NO. NO. NO Katy Perry. BAD Katy Perry. NO.

I hate Agnes Dean as much as the next rational person who values their eyes, but seriously I'm going to have to book an appointment with an optician after the pink animal print spandex obscenity and it is going to be EXPENSIVE.

Agyness Deyn looks like the Disney villain Hades that that first photograph. Check it out.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hades_(Disney)

Agyness is a model, and therefore SHOULD know better. Katy is a one-hit-wonder wearing costumes to stay in the media. Agyness wins.

I love Agy! She does wear some things that no sane person would ever consider but she pulls it off a lot of the time (granted there are some exceptions above), and I think it's sort of great that she will wear any old random thing she can find, when she no doubt has access to amazing designer clothes. She's young and she's cute and she's having fun before she gets old and has to calm down a bit. Plus she used to work in a fish and chip shop and is now a famous catwalk model - she gets my vote just for that.

Katy Perry WISHES she was Agyness Deyn. But she isn't. She is just a rubbish version.

I have to admit, I just like Katy Perry better, so I fugged Agyness.

This one was TOUGH. But I went with KP only because AD looks more like a college freshman with a few bucks to spend who wants to look wacky. KP is sort of the same, I guess, but has hit #1 everywhere and so should have some one around her who knows better.

Agyness because she has access to the best fashion in the world and yet she choose to wear what she does.

I LOVE the POLTERWANG word!!

Katy go away now!

Ugly Agy go away soon!

I'm with the consensus. A toss-up of fugly, but then came the pink leopard whatzits.

HARD! But Agyness just looks like she think her style is THE shit and she is oh-so-wrong. Katy wears a lot of costumes, and while she is clearly a big attention whore, at least she's working to appeal to the audience she's going for. Plus, we have the same name (different spelling).

VERY hard choice. i chose agyness though since katy WANTS to be kooky fashion-y and i dont think she should be punished for essentially succeding in her goal. agyness on the other hand is just misguided and crazy and a total failure and her job which, as a model, is to look good always.

Daaaaaang this one was hard enough to require typing six "a"'s in "dang", with each "a" representing a moment in time where i had made the decision WITHOUT A DOUBT that Agyness deserved to reign Champion Fug....and then flipped to believing twas indeed Katie who deserved the brazen-belt o' Befuggery.
Sigh.
I picked Agyness because I get the impression that she sincerely loves dressing like it's some hobo-insane bizarro world version of 1987 and thinks it's looks really great. And there's no excuse for that. Katie, however, seems compelled to dress the way she does because she's a bit wacky, and the attention is always good for record sales.

This one was Haaaaaaard.

OK, one woman's opinion. Katy Perry has a consistent trajectory (why, no, I don't mind if you insert the adjective "crazy" and associate "trajectory" with "tragedy") and she seems to be having a LOT more fun than cynicism. Whereas A.D.'s clothes are just fugly, fugly, fugly. God, she is painful to look at.

Props to all here for being witty, articulate, and tasteful, and for first-rate grammar, spelling, and use of caps! Another round for the house! Wheeeeee!

I voted Agyness simply because I love Katy Perry. :) Sure, she does dress really batshit insane but I think she's freakin fabulous for it.

Am I the only one frightened by Katy Perry's merry-go-round dress? Stage costume or not, it makes me think of the 80's movie
"Beetlejuice" for some strange reason.

Perry FTW!

I can't believe Katy Perry's beating Agy. The real crazy from Katy comes when she's on stage and that doesn't count because it's like her trying to be a female, much crazier version of Mika.

Plus the magazines keep telling me Agy is a fashion icon, as if they can't actually see she is wearing fug.

Got to be Agy for the win.

whaaaaaaa who said Agnes has hideous feet???? are you blind, woman, or just 20? I would trade my 11W hammer-toed cracked-heeled bunioned trotters in a second for Agnes'. Why, I could fit into Berne Mevs. Anyway, credit where credit is due. I'm sayin' fugly, not ugly.

Zuzu,
I think it was you had the incredibly philosophical breakdown of fug, and for that, I congratulate you. Actually, I wish you'd reprint it - you were truly inspired.

Also, you are right, and I too was impressed that everyone is so articulate (that's not an insult), it's just that so often on comment pages, the comments devolve into insults, and I just adore that everyone is so nice and friendly and HILARIOUS! All this despite the fact that we're judging fugly fashion.

I'm with those of you who like Agy's style! I love her stuff (on her, not on everyone, obviously) probably eighty to ninety percent of the time. She's got a knack for putting things together in a way that suits her and looks edgy without coming off as a cry for attention. Katy Perry, by comparison, is screaming her lungs out for it.

And for you lot professing that "as a model, Agyness Deyn should know better": have you had a look at haute couture in the last, oh, thirty years? Some of the stuff you see coming down the catwalk is far crazier than anything Agy steps out in. :)

Did anyone ever decide what that board thingie is attached to Katy Perry's otherwise not-Fugly dress in that last pic?

I'm flummoxed.

The Heat Miser hair on Agyness gave me pause, but the pink leopard polterwang and removable ruler sealed the deal. Katy ftw!!

I am going on name spelling. I never, ever want to see the old lady name "Agnes" spelled as "I-am-a-precious-model-so-it's AGYNESS!" again.

So "Katy" gets the vote. Because changing an ie to a Y is actually making the namespelling less cute. So, I can get behind that.

Does anyone else feel ANGRY when they look at Deny?? At first, I just disliked her clothing choices, found her to be ugly and maybe felt a little annoyed when I saw her..probably just because she's a model and there are about 4 million people in the state I live in *alone who are more attractive than she is. But after seeing her so much in all this bracket business, I'm actually starting to feel severely IRRITATED when I see a picture of her. Like, the "I want to punch her in the face" sort of irritated, and I'm one of the most non violent people I know. Anyway, just curious..

I'm with you there, Lilli.

I have to vote for her though, sorry, because I'm afraid Katy's ruler/belt could get stuck in SWINTON's throat.

Pink...animal...print...ack.

If Fug Madness had "Like" tags like those on Facebook, commentor 2 would get one from me. Agyness is a MODEL. She should know better and yet looks fugly ALWAYS. Why why why would anyone choose Katy Perry over that.

This one was HARD! Katy Perry looks whackadoo most of the time, but other times, she looks really cute! The worst thing for me with the pink corsage napkin dress was the lipstick--hunny, I know you're too young to remember, but that didn't look good on anyone, even in the 80s.

I had to go with Aygynyeyss or however she spells it. I never look at anything she has on and think, "That could be cute, maybe with pants or a different pair of shoes or a plain white shirt or something." It's like she lets a colorblind four-year-old choose her clothes every morning.

Choices, choices, choices! I voted for Agyness since she's supposed to be so damn fashion savvy and has all the taste of a rabid squirrel. Katy... tries to hard. I almost voted for her on that account.

I had my niece choose since I couldn't decide. She said the zebra print with blue shoes won the round. And its okay for boys to wear dresses sometimes.

Ahhhh, this one is hard... especially because i quite like both of them, (the people not the clothes, god no...)but what the heck were they thinking?! I had to go with Agyness because even though she's a model and all that high-fashion can be a bit if-y that weird M.I.A maternity polka dot circle thing was just unforgivable...
well unforgivable to eyes that is,

Josie - you're so right about Weetzie Bat! Crazy.

And I agree with comment #1: This one's hard. Maybe I need to sleep on it. KP annoys me, but I have to focus, 'cause it's not the person, it's the _fug_.

Wow, tough one, both very deserving fugs indeed.
Had to vote Katy because she is so annoying.

in general, katy perry. but agyness got my vote because on top of dressing like a total idiot, she's hailed as a fashion icon for some reason.

Ewwww at Agyness´ deformed feet. Why would she wear shoes that call attention to them?

And, at least Katy Perry admits to wearing what she wears for the shock value, I get the feeling Agyness actually thinks she couldn´t possibly look better.

I know that we are only supposed to judge based on fashion choices, but the Deyn's freak toe forced me to vote for her. I do hate the pancake makeup on KP, though.

Laura Hollins looks insane, but she knows it, and for some reason, it's 'stylish'. She's a CLASSY bag lady. Katy Perry just looks like a nutjob (more 'ass' than class).

I don't think even Chico's would be willing to sell that fugly zebra jumpsuit!! I don't really agree in general that stage outfits and the like should carry less weight in calculating fug, but since the degree of fug is otherwise pretty much equal in this case, I think that's the tiebreaker. Agyness gets my vote because so much of Katy's fug is related to her performance "persona".

Wow... this was a toughie. The post is hilarious (as usual) and kind of reminds me of the scroll down fug. It just get worse as you scroll down.

Starting off with "fancy" Agyness which just made me laugh out loud. I mean.. just wow.

Then Katy in pants. Wow again. Leave the animal print alone Katy. The Zebra pants suit with the blue shoes is just gross and the pink leopard print catsuit thingie is just taking things too far. FUG!

Then the side by side shot. Impossible to decide! The fug force is so powerful in these two. I went with Katy because I can't figure out what that thing is on the last dress there. Is it a belt or just a fabric covered ruler throught a slot in the dress?! Either way it is an epic FAIL! Sorry to see either of these girls go. Fug Madness is AWESOME!!!

Can whatever Katy Perry is locked inside also contain a number of rabid things?

With voting in these brackets, I like to base my vote on who is more famous/famously fug. In this case, Katy Perry is. Katy Perry (I can't believe I'm saying this), has more available avenues and opportunities to aid in changing the world...however she see fit...maybe by first promoting homosexual/bisexual/bi-curious/drunk girls at frat parties tolerance. But no one is going to take her seriously when she's wearing that bullshit all the time. On the other hand, Agyness Dead will NEVER taken seriously..even if she does lose the horrible threads, puts on a lab coat and cures cancer. It's just one of those things. Also, Agyness Dead is european, so c'mon...c'mon...need I explain why I keep saying "C'mon?" Katy Perry's music is obnoxious, so props to her for matching her music to her clothing. But honestly, Katy Perry MIGHT have so much more potential than this. (Maybe) so sad.

I don't even know Katy Perry's music and I just hate her, period. She has a dirty face and I don't even want to look at her. Amelia says "Katy Perry's music is obnoxious, so props to her for matching her music to her clothing," which I completely agree with....but for me this does not mean Fug props. Fug props is when the vision does not match the craft (ie. SWINTON, FUGYNESS, CHLOE)...the "décalage" as we like to say in France. Something about Katy Perry doesn't surprise or interest me at all. Too bad I'll have to see her in another round...

Katy Perry just dresses that way to get attention. While Agy dress that way because she's a crazy old lady. I voted Agy.

i can't vote against agyness- i just can't. i think she is adorable 90% of the time, yes even her punked out prom princess look. i just wanna squeeze her cuz she's so cute!
katy perry however.....UGH. i think cyndi lauper needs to come beat the crap out of her for taking her fantastic wacky 80s style and dragging it through the jizzy gutter outside the 25 cent porno booths. she's just GROSS.
perry for the win!...uh lose? well whatever i voted for her.

So tough.

Katy, just go away.

Oh wow.
This one hurts my eyes— how do I decide?!

Maybe I'm completely insane, or had too many vodka rocks last night, but I would actually like the zebra jumpsuit *with* the necklace and belt and *without* the blue shoes, and I unapologetically like the pink dress with the weird origami waist-corsage on the front. SO THERE. (And, yes, I am old enough to remember the '80s the first time around.)

But, as our president would say, let me be clear: I can't stand Katy Perry. However, that isn't what it's about.

When Katy is fug, she's very, very fug - but as other commenters have pointed out, it tends to be costumey fug. Agyness (and may I say how much I hate that spelling?) has much more innovative fug in terms of what she wears out and about, I think. But it is truly a difficult choice. Ultimately, I had to vote Agyness because her fug brings me more joy.

They both seem bent on perpetrating some of the crappier 80s fashions, but lately Katy has been the bigger offender, so she's the fuggiest.

Agnyss's fur tells me she's just not that bright. But that's another story.

They are both so awful. But Agnyss is worse people impressionable fasionistas will follow her.
And she has an obnoxiously spelled name.

Wow, that's a whole lotta fug in one post. Ultimately, I had to go with Agyness Deyn, if only for the simple fact that Katy Perry, for all her (many) fugly faults, has embraced soap and shampoo. And the bitch has terrific skin.

Katy has a PAINT STICK sewn into her shirt. Enough said.

I voted for Agyness for several reasons.
1. noted by Jen above me -- Katy has embraced soap and shampoo
2. Katy, for all her whacktasticness is still CUTE OF FACE (take notes, Joaquin)
3. Katy is starting to seem sort of national treasure-ish to me, so she has hit a new plane, and can no longer be in Fug Madness with mere mortals
4. but most of all, Agyness has either: fugged her own name by mispelling "Agnes" on purpose, or her mother did it when she was born. Either way, that is NOT how you spell "Agnes", which wasn't an attractive name to start with, and I don't think we should allow it to continue.

These two idiots are both pathetic and should fire their stylists ASAP!!!! GRRRrrrr but wait Agyness prolly doesnt have a stylist because she's a model and should PROBABLY... MOST LIKELY know how to dress, since she has been on the runway from CAvalli to GAlliano!! this upsets me!! Now Katy Perry.. oh KAty this girl just tries WAAAyyyy to hard...

Many things to say but message too important...Agy's foot is not deformed or gross, she runs. That bump is cause by logging miles in track shoes. Google it if you don't believe me. I have one myself.
HOWEVER! I do not wear the equivalent of "hot grandma on a singles cruise" open toed plastic shoes and paint my toenails neon pink to accentuate it AT A FUNCTION WHERE I WILL BE PHOTOGRAPHED. FUG-MIND.

I voted for Agy, because in addition to always looking atrocious, while be exalted as 'fabulous' and amazing (namely by hideous Vogue magazine), she always looks dirty. You know, kind of grimy, and scabby -ick. Katy Perry is hideous too and her music makes my ears bleed.

Important Question:

Is that hideous black and white circus thing Agy's wearing the same thing M.I.A wore while performing on her due date? Is this possible??

i quite like ahy's polka dot dress. also i hate katy perry with every cell in my body. i loath to give her attention but i voted for her

agyness forever. she ALWAYS makes me want to scream and run away from the computer
