Fug Madness 2009 Elite Eight: Cher Bracket

i kind of feel like they are both really sad cases and both of them need help rather than to get fugged. i almost feel bad voting on them.

Once again, Aubrey is presumably stone cold sober when she chooses these getups, so O'Day FTW!

Courtney is awful fug, but she's also bats**t crazy, really. I can't vote for her. Plus that first Aubrey photo makes my eyes water - Aubrey FTW

Is Courney's skin puckering on the side?

Definately Aubrey. Courntey may fug with the best of them, but there is evidence she can actually pull together an outfit. However O'Day is fug to the bone

Aubrey FTW.
Look at her. LOOK AT HER!
And that poor little doggie.
Courtney can't compete with that level of fug of both the human and animal kind.
You played a good game, Courtney, but now its time to take you're coked-up, fug ass home.

I don't know about y'all but I love me some side-boob!!! Keep on keepin on ladies!!! So classy!

I don't know which is better- O'Day's somewhat flabby grapefruit side-boob, or Courtney's wrinkly, non-existent side-boob....? Hmmmmm...

OMG, you guys, just LOOK at this matchup. AOD is the DEFINITION of fug: dresses in unattractive and trashy clothes to get attention at ANY price. poor courtney at least has some demons to battle with before she can even think about what to wear. the "fug" entry has AOD's picture next to it in the dictionary. let's leave the SWINTONs where they belong (ie in high-art HEAVEN) and concentrate on the fuggy earthlings among us. AOD, Solange, Katy, and tossup Mischa/Gaga, you've been WARNED! (Bai gets a pass this year. i miss the band aids of meaning!)

There is no way that Courtney Love is going to lose to Aubrey O'Day. First off, who the heck is Aubrey O'Day? Secondly, Courtney Love brings new meaning to 'hot mess.'

Serioulsy.

I almost feel bad voting on this one, both are so hideous in their own special way.. How can you compare two fuggers like these? be that as it may, I voted for C.love cause she's got a fugly face.

I was backing Court all the way, but have to give it up to Aubrey this time for the sake of the dog. Poor thing - to have to be dyed pink and awkwardly clutched to an underclothed bosom is a case for the ASPCA.

Surely that is not Courtney's actual skin on the side boobage shot? Please tell me it's a flesh colored lining, right? RIGHT??

let's pay some respect to old skool (sort of) fug and vote for courtney! aubrey doesn't deserve the nod.

OMG - until reading these comments I really thought Courtney's dress just had a flesh-colored panel to simulate side boob...but now I think you guys are right. That is just her!

Already voted for Aubrey though. Neither of them got my vote in the last round...again Courtney loses because she is too coked-up and washed-up to have any clue what atrocities she's being dressed in.

OMG- I absolutely was just wondering who the tranny was in the photo of AOD in the tee shirt... and it's CARIDEE?!!? Yipes.

Courtney needs an intervention far more than she needs a Fug title. I had to invoke the Britney Rule: "Thou shalt not fug she who is emotionally troubled and/or drug addled".

This Aubrey person, however, seems to be in her right mind but has no taste whatsoever. None. Ever. And using a living, breathing animal to get attention is arguably worse than wearing fur.

Oh yeah, I thought that was a drag queen with Aubrey too.

I had to vote for Aubrey O'Day just because of the dog-abuse issues.

I'm typing this comment from keyboard memory, because I was just blinded by the most horrific case of side-boob-flash I've ever seen.

fjdk;sajlkjfdsa;

courtney is just cracked out all the time, we should be thankful she even manages to put clothes on!
the fact that aubrey is sending fugliness into not only our world, but the animal world as well... that's just too much for me to handle. aubrey FTW

Had to go with AOD on this one. Poor Courtney has the excuse of a drug-fried brain, not so for Aubrey, she dresses like that purposely and thinks she looks good. And that poor little dog. THINK OF THE PUPPIES.

This was a hard one, both of them sug so very well... But I think I'm going to have to go with AOD. Courtney is just sad, tripped out and fug. AOD is sad, stank, skank, desperate and fug.

Courtney Love at least has the excuse of brain damage from serious drug abuse.

I just feel so bad for the dog!

Aubrey has never, as far as we know, been a drug addict. SHE HAS NO EXCUSE.

I can't get over the fact that AOD seems to be pulling the dress forward in the first picture. It's as if she wants us to see her sideboob.

Getting tougher and tougher...I have such a huge distaste for Aubrey and her "look at me! look at me! PLEASE look at me!" ridiculousness. And it's criminal what she's doing to that dog.

On the basis of protest, I voted for Courtney. But unfortunately, based on early voter turnout, I think she's on her way out of this contest...

Drugs or not, Courtney's fug is on a whole other level.

I had to vote for AOD. Simply because she's actually moving her bedsheet thing further forward so we get maximum sideboob impact.

Courtney doesn't think she looks good. She doesn't think she looks bad. Face it, she's waaaaay beyond thinking by now. Aubrey, however, has NO EXCUSE except sheer fuggery.

Super tough. Super tough. I was gonna go with Aubrey because she's heinous. Or, her sense of style is. However, I had to stick with my guns about fugging the face. Courtney was always an attractive woman (when sober-ish) and yet she had all that crap done to her face. Honey - if you want to look fresh and awake, try freshening and waking up. Pills and booze have never been the fast route to looking good.

Tough call, truly. But Aubrey takes the day because I feel sorry for her poor dog.

My eyes, my eyes!!!! That has to be the scariest match-up this year!

It's the dog. The poor f*!%ing dog.

Aubrey FTW.

SOMEONE STEAL THE DOG ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!

Sideboob in a toga-diaper with a side of GLEE!1!eleventy! Jesus, look how happy she is with herself.

It doesn't matter what comes, fresh goes better in life,
With Mentos fresh and full of Life!
Nothing gets to you, stayin fresh, stayin cool,
With Mentos fresh and full of LIFE!!!
Fresh goes better! Mentos freshness!
Fresh goes better with Mentos, fresh and full of life!

Fug fail. Or win. Whatever makes more sense to you.

I also thought it was a tranny, and also thought that was a flesh colored side panel. OMG! The dog tips my swing vote and I don't even know why O'DAY is famous

Does anyone else think that the picture with Aubrey and Carrie Dee English is too much fug for one picture. Carrie Dee's drag queen emulating Jenna Jameson makeup almost overshadows the hideous fashion of Aubrey. It was the deciding factor.

PLEASE, SOMEONE TELL ME.... Is that a flesh colored panel or skin that C-Love is flashing at us?

I MUST KNOW!

Ya, had to agree with Suzy and invoke the Britney rule. Plus for my personal taste, slutty is fuglier than crazy any day, so AOD it is. Also... poor puppy!!

Allison, I can't be sure, but after staring at it for 45 minutes... I believe it's skin. Dear god.

In the first picture of Love (I wouldn't have even known that was her, had you all not told me), I couldn't tell if she was wearing a flesh-colored undershirt, or if her skin was...folding? Wrinked? Bunching?

Gross.

I call shenanigans! The Courtney Love photos chosen for this round are totally tame (relative to what we all know she's capable of), while Aubrey O'Who?'s photos are over-the-top crazy. There's a clear bias here.

A foul plot is afoot and I demand retribution!

Courtney doesn't look well. Not well dressed. Not feeling well. Just not well.

I third the Britney rule.

and, frankly, Aubrey's t-shirt testament to her own nudity makes me not feel well.

This is a slippery slope. Aubrey it is.

I have the feeling that Aubrey's dog is every bit as sedated as Courtney. Where is PETA when you need them? Let's give Aubrey a Fug face-pie and maybe she'll leave the dog at home.

Aubrey wins BIG time. Courtney's choices may be whacked out, but at least the fabrics are good, and don't look like they were purchased at a Bargain Bin Remnant sale! My retinas are seared from the side boob shot in the puckered muslin. Shady armpit, too, YUK!

I have to admit, the dog does it for me every time. Imagine if SWINTON had a dog...or even better: a WOOLLY MAMMOTH ON A LEASH.

why why why must people vote for skankitude over straight up nutso fug...using CLove's addiciton as an excuse not to vote for her is foolish...when has girlfriend ever not been high? she's so used to being high that she probably dresses even more wack when she's sober....shame...miss thing and her dog don't deserve our fugradulations

Courtney dresses more fug, but I voted Aubrey because her fug is INTENTIONAL. Nothing is fuglier than fame-whoring.

I also agree with the Britney rule (recast as the Joaquin rule this year?) Crazy is not fug, it's just sad. No vote.

You guys are breaking my heart! O'Day is trashy, but Courtney takes fug to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL of homeless-luxe insanity.

ouch! I was positive that Cort's first dress had a flesh-tone lining. So I did 30 seconds of research (try googling "courtney love side-boob," multiple links to photos of the same event pop right up), and discovered...horrors! it really is her skin! Gross, gross, gross...but I still voted for Miss Skanky-panky.

Aubrey all the way, maybe for the championship that girl is a world of fug. Coutrney is just strung out, Aurbrey is doing this on purpose

See, the problem I have with this is - who IS Aubrey O'Day?

Miss O'Day is (to quote Wendy above) "presumably stone cold sober" but that is to presume too much. Her wretched ensembles make my eyes hurt, not water as if chopping onions, but more akin to rubbing an onion directly on my eyeball. Pain. The fact that she's dragged that poor little barking bathmat into her Fug is a double shame.

Courtney, Courtney, Courtney. She battles fashion demons none of us can understand. (Sometimes the demons show up with a little Jack Daniels, sometimes they show up in the form of "celebrity stylists" - they are demons nonetheless.) But Courtney is not complete - "Hole" is not just a band name, and for that reason, she cannot be held completely accountable for her appearance.

This contest is close, but this match goes to O'Day (whom I shall now refer to as Scabby. I don't know why.)

Scabby O'Day: FTW (but not enthusiastically.)

Respectfully submitted,
-Magno

Courtney, oh Courtney. Yowza. A lifetime of fug deserves its recognition. Had to go with Courtney, even though I'm clearly in the minority. Sad day.

Think about the dog, people. What kind of fug person treats this poor thing solely as an accessory? She's fugly on the outside and even more on the inside.

Courtney Love is cracked out, but hilarious. And she writes amazingly cracked out and hilarious blog entries without spell check. Aubrey O'Day just makes my skin crawl.

When I saw O'Day's side boob I was honestly scared to click through. Courtney Love's wasn't as bad, so O'Day got the vote. Sheesh.

Aww, come on ladies! Aubrey O'Day IS fugly, but she's really just an attention-seeker who gives us no reason besides her hideous clothes to look at her. At least Courtney Love EARNS her fame and fug.

Aubrey spends long hours, well... days, well... probably her entire life planning these fugly outfits and thinking she rules. Courtney is just being Courtney; she possibly doesn't even know if she is dressed or not half the time. Aubrey FTW! She deserves the prize.

I thought Aubrey O'Day was kicked out of that band because she was too much of a trainwreck all the time. So that makes me doubt claims of stone-cold sobriety.

I have no idea who Aubrey O'Day is and know nothing about her except for the fact that she can't dress herself.

Honestly I thought fug was defined as fantastically ugly, a term that clearly sums up Miss Love. Miss O'Day is just plain ug.

If it's about skank, well Courtney brings the skank all the time! They're both skanky, but Courtney is also horrific looking. She is a black hole of fug. I think these pics are a bit biased - I can scare up some fuglier pictures of Courtney in my sleep. There's no way that AOD deserves to go up against SWINTON.

In that first photo of Courtney, doesn't she look just like Madonna? Weird.

Oh COME ON, you guys! Courtney is FUG ROYALTY! Aubrey can't hold a candle to Courtney's fugness!

At least Courtney had some extra fabric. And she's not an animal-abuser.

Vote goes to O'day

...oh hell.

When Courtney Love comes out looking classier, you know it's bad.

At least The Woman Formerly Known As Mrs. Cobain had the sense to wear a nude bodysuit. Aubrey in that first photo...it's just...to quote Heather re: the horror show that was the Sev's clothing line: "Not only is this real, but it's Ultimate Fug. It's borne of the bowels of fug, rolled in a crispy fug coating, and deep fried in fugpura batter."

I consider myself a veteran fugger, but that was probably one of the most heinous (if not THE most heinous) pictures I've seen in my two or three years religiously reading this site. Congratulations, Aubrey. Now I want my sight back.

Courtney really did fug the face, but AOD's makeup alone is more fug than can be borne. And that dog has given up. It just hangs there limply, hoping to be dropped on its head and be put out of its misery.

...I guess I spoke too soon.

That's her actual skin? Jesus.

...well, Aubrey's dress is STILL purer evil. (Which isn't saying much, since the evil of both of those sartorial choices has been thrice distilled.)

I'm with Goblin on this one. There has to be some volition involved in couture, yes? Don't people have to look as though they at least put their arms up while Mommy dressed them?

Aubrey has that look. "Sure it's my dog. We match, don't we?" It could not be sadder, but at least it involves a twisted kind of choice.

Courtney isn't choosing those clothes. She's rolling out of bed and they are somehow sticking to her body, to the residue of the night before (kamikaze shots, Pop Rocks, weed).

Look at her: girl can't even manage to comb her hair. I think in that last shot, she's walking WHILE STILL ASLEEP.

Fug is, if nothing else, deliberate. Buh-bye, Courtney. Stay asleep.

Aubrey all the way. I don't think Courtney Love should win anything, except a trip to rehab and some group sessions about Body Dysmorphic Disorder.

I will continue to vote for Aubrey O'Day until MR. SNUGGLES IS FREE!

I am voting for Aubrey based on the DOG ALONE. Free Mr. Snuggles!!!

Plus, I am tired of Courtney's drugface. She could easily be in a death match with Drunkface McCord w/that thing. For the love of Francis Bean pull it together Courtney!

Both Courtney and Aubrey need interventions, but I feel like Courtney's problems way outweigh her fashion choices. Aubrey, on the other hand, might get fug-smacked right into a real career!

i have such a soft spot in my hear for courtney. she's had a rough life.

aubrey on the other hand, gets nothing but annoyance out of me and deserves to be the fug queen for the day.

I had to vote for Aubrey O'Day - did you see what she wore to P*r*z Hilton's birthday party? Her wandering nipples under that satin were enough to win this one.

Wait, is that really CariDee? I really, REALLY thought it was a man in drag.

easy. aubrey wins.

I agree with Anne B. Courtney is most likely not even lucid when she "dresses" herself, whereas Aubrey makes a point of setting the feminist movement back to the era of the cave man with her loincloth choices. Can't some burly bloke club her over the head and drag her off by her hair, thus ridding us of her fugliness?

HA! It is 100% a man in drag! My thoughts exactly!

Until I took a look back, I had no idea what we were dealing with here with Aubrey O'Danity. It's BAD. And SO GOOD. Thank you, ladies.

And btw, what kind of yo-yo diet is the widow Cobain on? Two weeks of percoset and parliaments, followed by two weeks of Haagen-Dahz?? I love it. And I'm starting it tomorrow.

My view, and I think a lot of people's view based on the comments, is that this just isn't a fair contest. These two fuggers are poorly matched, even though they're top of their respective league tables.
O'Day's outfits clearly show she hasn't got anything that approaches normal brain patterns, but equally I think we have to assume she lives on basically the same planet as the rest of us.
We know that Courtney's brain patterns aren't normal (because they don't exist), but we also know this is drug-related.
Let's have a fair fug-fight next time.

At least Courtney has a modicum of talent. My eyes are still bleeding from that T-shirt of Aubrey, on Aubrey. WTF?

Also, Caridee, really? I liked her on ANTM, here she looks like a hot tranny mess.

Aubrey. Because is that her Playboy spread? AS A SHIRT? God I can't wait until she releases the matching hotpants featuring the page where she's spread-eagle on a swing or a field of daisies or whatever she posed on for that.

Clearly interventions need to be staged for both parties and a dognapping scheduled. I'm up on my vaccinations and hand-to-hand combat skills, so I could cover the Courtney Love shift if need be. Aubrey looks like a fairly easy lure. Promise the girl a spray tan and a quick run through Out Of The Closet and she'd likely hand that poor dog over.

Sorry, anyone who torments a poor dog like O'Day does, gets the vote every time.

Courtney Love(all the other craziness in her life notwithstanding) has a Golden Globe nomination. And she named her daughter Francis Bean(which I kind of love as a name).

All Aubrey has is a very scared and depressed dog, and the wrath of P. Diddy.

Aubrey for the win! She is the fugliest in this match-up!!

Ok so I voted for Swinton in the other bracket because she is fabulous, I think Courtney is fabulous but voted for Aubrey why? Because fug can be a celebration or a punishment and Aubrey seriously needs to be punished.

O'Day all the way. Not only is this woman fug on her own, she's trying to spread the fug via her own craptastic clothing line

Courtney is sick. She has had lots of mental, drug, and relationship problems and needs help.

Aubrey O'Day is the little piglette of fug. Greasy makeup, blond with black roots, and of course, the abused dog that looks like he was thrown in the washing machine with a red sock and is now covered with pink splotches.

Also, look at Aubrey's underarm area in that side peek-a-boo shot... that is grubby crud if I ever saw it. I am glad I use Dial. Oh, how I wish Aubrey's body did.

Sharon - agreed! Aubrey needs to either shave better or bathe. But what really makes me happy is your new name for Aubrey - little piglette of fug :) It makes me smile! (Aubre ftw).

I have to go with Aubrey. Courtney's had a rough life guys. She's NEVER SOBER, and if my husband shot himself I WOULDN'T BE EITHER. Girlfriend has issues. Aubrey is just... unpleasant on all counts. And thinks she's fantastic to boot. It's bad. BAD.

The animal lover in me has to pick Aubrey. I hate how she caries that dog around like it's a purse or a stuffed animal. It is a dog - put it on a leash and let it use it's cute little legs for once.

Aubrey, for her fucking dog.

courtney has plastic surgery, which insinuates that there in enough intent in her wardrobe to find her guilty of fug. drugs or no drugs. and i think that horrific plastic surgery should be included in critique of the ensemble.

I don't hate Courtney Love's black dress return volley. Is it my favorite? No. However, for sheer trashiness what's-her-face deserves the fug win. And you know if she's beating out Courtney, it's got to be bad.

A O'D for the win. Someone, please, rescue that poor little pooch.

Save the dog! Vote Aubrey and distract her with applause... RUN, DOG, RUN!!! (you too, dog wrangler!)

That Juliette-hobbling Demented CrackHo is not going any further in this competition.
*Cracks nuckles.*

heheh knuckles

I voted for Aubrey, on the basis of animal abuse + her NASTY vein-y boobs.

My sweet little dog, Boo Radley, has asked me to call an intervention for Aubrey O'Day's dog.

Boo feels that the dog has developed Stockhom Syndrome due to his imprisonment by Ms. O'Day. NOthing else explains the fact that the dog has not attacked her and bitten off both of her hands and escaped.

Or, the dog is a meth-head and that would require an intevention as well.

All of you Fug Fans who have pets, it is time to FREE THE DOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i still wish juliette beat out drugney love so maybe that had something to do with me voting aubrey. that and she's tacky and that poor, poor dog. and i don't need to see anymore of her boobs.

O'Day always looks horrible, and greasy on top of it. Courtney sometimes looks. . . not horrible, and has a more "disheveled" than "allergic to soap" look. Aubrey, in trying desperately to look hot, fights the hot in a gigantic way, while Courtney just does whatever it is she does because she's Courtney Love. She's already got lots of attention and is famous for being more than a dirty dog carrier and porn star wannabe. A PORN STAR WANNABE!!! Now that I think about it, that's really sad, sadder almost than Courtney's "where did I leave my mind again?" antics--but still, easy vote here for O'Day. Hope she reads this blog and gets some tough love out of it, but I doubt it. She'd probably think we were all a bunch of jellis h8trz and go back to conspicuously licking a stipper pole to get her picture in the Star.

You know, it's weird. I HATE Aubrey... and I voted for her because she is disgusting.

However, I LOVE Swinton, and I voted for her because she is beautiful, and I love it when she looks mannish.

I am so confused.

I've been voting against Courtney since day 1, so I hope Aubrey unseats her.

Give Courtney a break here; she's probably a bit brain-damaged from all that substance abuse. However, Aubrey's just plain trashy and clueless. Also, what Stephanie S. said.

I really want to see O'Day and Phoebe Price go up against each other. Fame whore versus Fame whore. Best matchup ever.

Plus SWINTON with a wooly mammoth on a leash is the best idea ever.

I've said it before and will say it again: DYED-TO-MATCH DOG, people.

O'Day all the way.

OK. I voted "for" Aubrey O'Day, even though I have NO idea who she might be. (I'll Google her. I'm sure she's famous on Fox or CW or MTV, or some damn thing.)

Anyway, she's clearly more answerable for her awful dressing than Courtney Love is.

Have to say, though, her "side boob" is PRETTY, youthful, and perky! Ms. Love's is... well,... just sad.

Again, I had to vote for Aubrey based on sheer volume. When the Fug Girls were asking for nominations, I counted the number of appearances the most frequent fugfenders had made on this site during the eligibility period, and Aubrey was pretty high up on the list.

Toting that dog around like a purse isn't winning her any points with me, either.

Aubrey and those damn mutant flowers she attaches to the side of her head. Looks like the worst surface gash in the world. Fug!

i read the last comment by "anonymous" as "i feel bad vomiting on them" and still felt it was appropriate.

i read the first comment by "anonymous" as "i feel bad vomiting on them" and still felt it was appropriate.

I'm going to have to go with my gut on this one, and my gut says "O'DAY! AUUUGHHH!"

I get conflicted every time I look in Courtney's archives and see the giant upside-down-purple-beaded-tiara-thing with the four foot long tassel, but Aubrey is just henious. Nobody wants to see your breasts that much, girl! I am sorry to say but the flashbulbs make them look unpleasantly veiny (see Feb 17 in archives) and while that is normal and okay, it is NOT NORMAL AND OKAY to be displaying it so prominently! Also, ick. That black-and-white-stripe semi-transparent top with the neon pink skirt and ridiculous (flesh-toned!) headband is not forgivable.

okay I think I've figured this thing out: there's tacky ho gear and then there's fabtastically fuggy gear. I'm going Courtney ftw

Aubrey O'Fug doesn't deserve to be in this competition.

Presented; some serious cases of side-boob.

anyone who idolizes a porn star has severe mental problems. aubrey is basically the lowest of the low in forms of human intelligence, judgment and fashion expectations.

Courtney's been pulling off crazy for years. Let's give someone new a chance. Courtney, next year surprise us all and go demure or bring slap bracelets back or SOMETHING. This old song and dance is TIRED.

Vote YEA for O'Day!

O'day all the way- not only is she pulling at her shirt to DISPLAY her side-boobage, but she dyed that poor dog pink. PINK!
Courtney, on the other hand, remains cracked-out and merely continues to reflect her state of mind in her dress. In this case, I think stupid has to win over crazy.

More unforgivable than the sins committed against the poor little mop-dog is the fact that AOD has been allowed to "design".

This fact, combined with the side-boobery, frankly scares me more than C.Love ever could.

Ugh - AOD and Mischa Barton ruined my entire bracket! How can AOD be winning this?

Courtney is to be pitied. Aubrey is to be PUNISHED.

o'day-- all the way! she has to bring her poor little dog into it. Full of Fug and mean to Dogs!

Two things:

First: Can I make a write-in vote for Cari-Dee? Holy shiiiiite! How did it get to this?? Where is miss tyra? Where is miss J?!?

Second: All kidding aside, is it possible to call Animal Services on Aubrey? I mean, does dying your dog different colours merit intervention or would there have to be proof of other abuses?

The second picture of Court isn't even that bad -- AOD is out of control, but at least she didn't squeeze into an over-sized hippie headband this time. Maybe she's learning accessory control? Nah!

P.S. Caridee should have been on the bracket. Uber-fug.

In the battle between crazy versus tacky, tacky always wins the title of fug.

Seriously Aubrey, she has no excuse, Courtney has many excuses. Aubrey is an unprovoked fuggity mess. Courtney is completely off and should not even be in the same category with sane people, that's lile putting a special olympian in the regular olympics! It's not fair because Courtney has a disadvantage. SHE IS CRAZY!

CariDee looks like a trannie, sorry dear, had to be said.
